take two...

remember this...

well, i'm giving it a go this weekend.
we'll see if life tries to step in this time...

ETA: we'll call it 50/50...
got to work on some etsy stuff...
cleaned my craft room...just didn't actually get to use it.
spent a great sunday afternoon with friends and some yummy italian food...
and then came home and helped jackson cut out all the bushes in front of the house.
all in all - not what i planned, but not half bad.

i'm sleepy...

and i can't seem to find energy to do anything...
forgive the last post.

i do plan on taking pics of the girls' room...just haven't gotten to it yet.

i'm gonna be...

m.i.a. this weekend.

no need for a search party or a missing person's report.
i'll actually be in my basement.
all weekend.

i will just be unavailable. my family will have to pretend i've gone away or been committed or fallen through a crack in the earth. they'll just have to live without me for a few days.

i am in the "spring-is-coming-and-everything-needs-to-be-fresh-and-clean-and-organized" state of mind. and i need to start downstairs.

i need to purge and organize and clean so that i can finish projects that i started forever ago and start new ones that i probably won't get finished.

i may occasionally come up for air, and meals (since i don't think the pizza guy will deliver to my spare room), and maybe a round or 2 of rock band...but that's it!

ETA: well...life had it's own plans, and they didn't coincide with mine.
looks like i have to reschedule my disappearing act to NEXT weekend...ugh!

well..

she's into make-up and being a cheerleader.
she's totally independent...god forbid mommy try to help with the make-up application.
she loves anything artsy...especially if it includes using "zizzors" and cutting things into a trillion little pieces.
she's definitely got an attitude, but is the best snuggler when she wants to be.
and she still can't live without "pink".

she's growing up waaaay too fast...the other day i realized she's going to be 7 and i just lost it.
she's mature beyond her years and definitely oppinionated.
she has the most giving personality...even making me "ice cream" when there's none in the freezer.
she loves art and books and talking to her new friends on the phone.
and she sends me the best air kisses at bedtime.

look what i made...

i know it's FAR from perfect...

but it's my first attempt EVER at a quilt.

and i think it's just right for a 3 year old who loves to wrap herself up in blankets and squish and squeeze them while she's sleeping.

the girls are hooked...

on nintendo DS...







who knew a 3 year old could play super mario brothers?

our newest obsession...

rock band!
are you kidding me?? this is so much fun!
this was our rock session at seth's apartment...

and this was our "kid-friendly" session at our house...

my husband...

should have been an engineer.

check out the ferris wheel and merry-go-round he made for the girls...{which they promptly used to entertain their littlest pet shops}
