definitely a monday.

i'm having one of those days....where instead on posing gracefully on this old truck, i would be the girl beating her head on it...and it's only 9:00 :)

at least i have this cheesy show finale to look forward to. i started watching it b/c one of my friends was married/divorced to him up until about 2 months before the show started taping and i had to see what his story was going to be. then i got sucked into it. i am totally addicted....not even going to lie about it. so who do you think ali is going to end up with- roberto or chris?

when the hubbie leaves me at home (he went to pick up tay from camp- yippee), i play....here is what i just finished playing around with..tay's pitiful room doesn't even have a picture on the wall (i went on bed rest right after we moved here and then had a newborn). it's really embarrassing...even tay makes comments about it! so here is what we are working with- two twin beds, pillows, and a window treatment. help me with this depressing room; then maybe i will finally do something about it :) so what's your vote??!!

*the monogramed shams were something i had done before we moved here...don't know if they will stay or not.

girl time.

two of my bff's are in town for a couple of days and i couldn't be more excited...on our agenda: pool, pedicures, and lots of catching up and laughing. but right now, i'm off to make whole wheat pancakes w/ fresh fruit :)

btw, did you see these fun desk chairs on design*sponge?? how can that not put a smile on your face??!

the house is a little quieter....

okay A LOT quieter, now that my biggest kiddo is off at camp for the week....

it's amazing how easy it gets w/ a baby when the big sister is away. warren and i feel like we are on vacation! we went on a long walk, visited w/ friends and drank wine, cooked a yummy dinner, watched a strange movie, cleaned the house (and it stayed that way), slept in a little...and now i can actually sit at the computer and have time to do things while the baby takes his AM nap.

it's going to be a nice week....BUT i have to admit, i already miss my girl...

simple things....

i am the first to admit that i get caught up in my daily routine....especially with a newborn and a 3 yr old. last night around 10:00, warren and i just sat and talked- no tv, no computer, no cell phones, no kids....it was wonderful. it's amazing how simple things can be so fulfilling...i highly recommend trying it :)

TGIF

i thought these images were a perfect way to start the weekend....

the last image is my favorite though...he will be one month tomorrow and i couldn't love him more if i tried. although, i started thinking if he could talk, would he say "seriously mom...why did you have to throw me in with such a girly set of photos..."

good thing he can't talk :)
