oh boy, this is all over the place

Sometimes I have too many random thoughts running around in my head and need to get them out.  Tonight is one of those moments. So bear with me as I take you all over the place.  If you’d rather skip my jabbering, head to the bottom of the post where I could really use your input.

So here we go.

I came across this photo in my files and remembered how incredibly amazing it is.

It was taken by my new dad while in Italy last spring. Beautiful.  Doesn’t it look like a painting?

This kid is giving us a run for our money.

We’ve always known that he has some spunk to him, but really?  Must he throw a fit about everything? 

He can be the most wonderful little boy with the sweetest voice and funniest comments. We really do enjoy him most of the time.  But take his sword or use the wrong sippy cup or look at him sideways and he becomes a different creature. We’re determined to win this battle, but my goodness it is exhausting!

I am not really a work-out kind of girl. I’d love to be. It sounds like fun to exercise and wear cute work-out clothes and be toned, but when it comes down to it, it is just about the last thing I am motivated to do.  Most of my girlfriends run {many of them wake up at 5:30am to all go together … crazy ladies} and I am just not a runner. It hurts my lungs.

But I do like pilates. I grew up a ballerina and so I call pilates ‘ballet laying down’.  I found my old Windsor Pilates dvd and popped it in a few days ago.  And now I no longer like pilates. My abs hurt.

Our baby girl has some crazy hair.  It is wispy and hasn’t all filled in yet. She was looking a little more like bozo the clown than I’d prefer.

{ewww … clowns are creepy}

So we gave her a little trim.

I don’t think she likes it.  For the record, neither do I.

Speaking of hair …

did you lose your hair post-partum?

I did with my boys, but nothing like how I am this time.  I pull out gobs of it every time I run my fingers through it and I find little strands all over the house and on my children. Yuck. Perhaps too much information was just shared.

I love hydrangeas.

…………………………………………..

I also love these

I’m pretty sure I could eat an entire bag in one evening. The worst part is, they are so disgustingly plasticy and I fully realize it and still love them.

…………………………………………..

Hmmm, anything else?

We go through a lot of milk around here.

I heard Project Runway started a new season and I can’t wait to watch it.

My book club is reading The Help and I need to start.

My niece & nephew are coming over for a spend-the-night tomorrow night.  I’m so happy my kids have cousins that they can grow up with.

One of my new favorite bloggers {Meg Deurksen} does crafts from Deep Space Sparkle. We tried this craft this morning and it was such fun. We’ve been trying to do ‘drawing & writing time’ each morning and this website will give us some great ideas to keep things fresh {and to avoid me looking at one more picture of a star wars battle hanging on the fridge}.

{Ethan’s finished project made for his friend Iris – the coolest little girl who likes the most absurd creatures – crows, sharks and slimy sea critters are some of her favorites}

Okay, I think the random thoughts are all cleared out for now.

…………………………………………..

Now on to more important things that you’ll {hopefully} actually care about.

I am going to do a week of favorite project tutorials all next week.  I will do one a day and would love to know what you’d like me to show. Are there any projects you’ve noticed in my photos that you’d like to know how to do? I have a few in mind, but would love your input!

Please leave a comment with your suggestions and I’ll add them to the list.

And thanks for letting me ramble.  You’re the best.
