We had a killer weekend of doing NOTHING!!! It was so great! The Garlic Festival was in town and we happen to live on the busiest corner of town for that event. We didn't use our car once all weekend, stayed home and watched movies, cleaned house, and Megan and I did some baking. It was a wonderful time!

Here are a few pictures of the kids playing...well Megan singing and dancing in front of James and James laughing and thinking she is loony! He really loves her. I really love them.

That is all for now.

James is 6 Months Old!!!

My adorable little man turned 6 months today. Talk about time flying by! He is really the sweetest little baby ever, his current favorite things are grabbing whatever you have in your hand, making ooooohhh sounds when you pat his mouth so he sounds like a cartoon Indian, and flipping from his back to his belly and back to his back again. He can sit up on his own for a few seconds but falls over when he sees something interesting. In the last month we have successfully sleep trained him, well in the since that we lay him down awake and he goes to bed by himself, he still gets up a few times a night wanting to eat and I nurse him twice a night, but I am ok with that. He very well could be my last child and I want to enjoy all the baby stuff. He loves kisses and peek a boo...I guess I could go on and on but I'll leave it at that for now. I love him, I love him, I love him!

He went for his 6 month check up today here are his stats!

18 lbs 7 oz.
28 1/2" tall

I took some pictures....

Thanks to everyone for the occasional pointers...I have been working out my camera here and there and still have much more studying to do...but here are a few of my recent favorites.

It's Monday again...

I have come to dislike Monday's, I don't have to head off to work but my husband does and I would much rather have him home with me and the kiddos.

We had a nice weekend of not much going on but I have a feeling those weekends will soon disappear if we end up buying Grandmas house. That is the source of lots of nerves this week...and dreaming...I keep picturing how I would paint/decorate the inside, colors to paint the outside and designs for the back yard. Images of the kids running in the sprinklers in the summer time, trick-or-treaters in the fall and Christmas lights on the house in the winter have me getting way too excited for something that is not a sure thing...but would I be a normal woman if I didn't get excited about those prospects?

Here are a few of my ideas....

Paint the house like this
This laundry room is cute AND functional!

I love how clean and open this bathroom feels...that would work for me for sure!



Ok so that is only some of the ideas/dreams I have for the house I am not sure we will be able to get...but it doesn't hurt to dream!

On to other things...

So what is on the agenda today...Megan has her first day of Kidz camp and I hope she has fun. They will be doing crafts, learning to cook and playing with other kids in her age group...not to mention she will be there from 9 to noon all week so she wont get so sick of Momma and her brother! Next on the list...laundry and clean bathrooms, I know oh what fun but a clean house puts me in a good mood. Oh then I have to make the menu for the week, I find that if I skip this stage we end up eating really bad all week long...not too bad...hopefully I actually do it!

Well until later I guess that is all! I am off to do chores!
