SUN-day

sometime i think that i should just start an album for pictures i've take while i'm driving. i do it ALL the time. some people text and drive...me? i drive and snap pictures. i get so bummed out if i realize i left my camera a home...and then i use my phone. so here are a few picture from our beautiful sunny sunday!

wait...

...i thought it was almost may! whats that? oh it IS almost may.

coulda fooled me...



a wise rabbit once said...

..."If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all"

and that's been my philosophy this week. that's why i haven't blogged. my mind is just too full of frustration and i just don't have anything nice to say.

i need prayer.

*          *          *

ok, so i have one (or two) nice things to say. the weather (for the most part...beside the few snow flurries) has been fabulous this week!

i know i have a million things to be thankful for and i am. it's just been a challenging week.

SUNSHINE!

today is a glorious sunny day! it feels like it's been MONTHS since the last time i saw the sun (it was like 2 weeks ago) so we made the most of it! i FINALLY got to take my new bike trailer out for a test drive. it's pretty much the best thing ever (and it matches my bike!)

here are some shots of our afternoon in the park:

snow + birthday = :(

the last thing i ever wanted for my birthday was snow...but i got it anyways (well a day early...but still)

3/28/09 3:34pm

3/28/09 4:19

not the view i was hoping for on my birthday morning.

3/29/09 9:02am

but later in the day, thanks to the BEAUTIFUL sunshine...it started to melt...yay

3/29/09 6:22pm

•••

so today after a minor meltdown. jake and the boys took me out for chinese food and then after i got to do some shopping (just the craft store and target...but that's enough for me!!)
i got some new reading glasses at target & i love them!!


then i got to go home and spend some time with my silly boy while jake and moses took naps


my birthday wasn't anything glorious but it was a good day and i LOVED that it was sunny for most of the day :) just look at these beautiful clouds and blue sky!!!


oh and chiara, my "sister", stopped my today and gave me the coolest gift!! this book full of cute cupcake and how to make them & some cake decorating bags & tips. i love it. she always knows just what to get me :)

i thought it was march?

so i think it's snowing right now...again for the second time today. about 2 hours ago the hail was coming down so hard it set off the neighbors car alarm. and about 30 min ago it was sunny.

i do love the way the wind sounds howling through our shake roof (really! i love it)

but come on it's gonna be spring in like a week. this is getting ridiculous!!! i just need a nice weekend so that we can get a yard looking like this place isn't abandoned..is that to much to ask for in mid-march? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

oh summer where are you?

6 days later...

...i finally have internet!!
it's funny, i missed it at first and now i'm sitting here and i can't think of anything that i wanted to do on the internet...it's just nice to know it's there :)

so we've moved and we LOVE living alone again! solly and moses couldn't be happier and life is good. we managed to live without internet for almost a week and we still have no plans for cable. and i haven't missed tv that much (yet)

i got a LOT of unpacking done on the first day...and then i stopped. i got the important stuff out and now i just don't feel like seeing what is in ALL those other boxes that are now taking up WAY to much room in the garage. and my storage unit isn't even empty yet. i haven't done any yard work (due to the flipping snow) but we're hoping for good weather this weekend (that's what i was going to do on the internet: check weather)

so for now that is my update of my boring life...don't worry there is plenty more where that came from!

snow, trailer parks & crib jumping

this is one of those days that you wish that you could just stay in bed! i woke up at 5 am to do my weekly cleaning at frankies pizza and wouldn't ya know it! SNOW! there wasn't much and i could tell that it just started coming down...but still not what you want to deal with at 5 am.
after getting home and taking solly to school jake, moses and i headed off to a local trailer park to look at a "modular home" that is for sale. although i'm not wild about the idea of living in such a place i am wild about the amount of space that are in those houses!
so after a quick drive around town looking for more living options we headed home. where moses tried his best to single handedly tear the house apart...after about 2 hours of chasing him from one mess to another it was nap time (thank you jesus!) so down he went and it was time for jakes monthly hair cut in the bathroom. once he was all beautified i cleaned the mess with my mini vac and was heading down the hall to put things away when i heard a loud "thud" coming from mosey's room...he's 1 2/2 i knew immediately what had happened...and when i got to his room 1.3 seconds later there he was in a heap on the floor. my poor baby!! he just leaned a little too far over that crib railing. after some cuddling and cartoons it was nap time round 2! worked like a charm and i got a nice little nap myself.
oh and it continued to snow, hail and sleet though out the rest of the day...ick!

now if i can just make it through the next 2 hours to bed time i'll consider myself lucky!
