The weekend was full of all kinds of crazy things, so I thought I'd share a couple of them:
1.A trip to the library. I checked out these four beauties and Edward checked out 5 books of his own, with his own card! (Btw, he checked out "Mothman","Bigfoot","UFOs","Ghost Ships", and "Ghosts". Can you tell what he likes?)
Why yes, that is the book written by the ex-wife of Eric Clapton and George Harrison. I love a little dirt.
2.Sparkly lights hung from trees.
This was taken outside of a subdivision that I pass by every day. I just thought it was so pretty.
3. The weirdest fortune I've ever gotten. I'm still not exactly sure what it means.
Huh?
4. Munchkins eating marshmallows!
YUM!
Zach shoved all of his in his mouth
5. Decided to dye my hair. Went with a lighter color, now I feel much more like a ginger.
Got my Hur Did.
We also took a trip to seaworld, but I'll post those pics separately.
Yesterday started off fairly uneventful (other than edward waking me up at 3:30am and 4:30am just because he couldnt sleep and felt like he needed to share the wealth). Both boys were dropped off (with Zach singing his ABC's even though he only knows about 10 letters). Work, as always, was uneventful.
I did, however, get the chance to wear the new hat that I made! I've been wanting a slouchy-beany type hat forever and cant bring myself to buy anything that I am able to make lol. I found this pattern on crochet.com (just FYI, typing in slouchy-beany thing did not come up with any results) and its called.... wait for it... the "Phannie". So I guess you could say I have my head in my Phannie! LOL!
Sorry.
Anyways, I made my little hat over the course of a couple of days, mainly because I ran out of yarn and had to go buy more and after I put it on, I couldnt really decide if it looked cute or silly.
Once I paired its mustard loveliness with a plum top and tossed a gold and purple butterfly broach on the front ( I swear I've had that pin since I was 10. Avon, baby), I totally fell in love.
Apparently I wasnt the only one. I now have to make 2 more for people I work with, 3 for the people Mike works with, 1 for mikes mom, and 3 more for friends of mine (I made the mistake of putting this pic up on FB!). I guess I'll be having a hat-making christmas!
I ended up leaving work early so that I could go see my dad. He is leaving this weekend on very short notice to move to New Mexico for a job (he is a Dietary Nutritionist) and yesterday was his only day to get to Orlando (he lives about 45 minutes away in Howie in the Hills). So we met my brother and Dad at my might-as-well-be-my-stepmom's Sisters house (ok, try to follow, its my dads girlfriend, but they've been together forever so she might as well be my stepmom. Make sense?) and had pizza and pasta for dinner. It was seriously fab. It was also nice to hang out and just BS around with them for a bit.
Heres one of my dad and Zach
And my dad trying to lift Edward lol
The bag that Edward refused to put down is full of my Stepmom's 18yr old neices old toys. She, of course, was smitten by the boys and gave them full access to her old stuffed animals. I limited them to three each.
I also tagged some music using Shazam yesterday so I thought I'd share that too :D
Sigh, I love me some Richard Marx!
I hope you all have a wonderful day and thanks for reading!
The book is sort of like a mix between Memento and 50 First Dates (other than it is not a comedy by any stretch of the imagination).
The main character is Christine. You find out early on that she has short term memory loss from a mysterious "accident" and she can only retain information until she sleeps, than it all disappears. There are all kinds of twists and turns as you find out what happened to her and how she starts to figure things out by writing in a journal every day so that she can start to connect what happens from day to day.
After reading this book, I started to think "what would happen if I were to lose my memory? What would it be like not to remember my kids, my fiance, my mom?". Than, I started to realize all of the things that we take for granted in a day, all of the things we forget.
Im a very forgetful person even though I'm only 28. Often I forget things that happened in the morning by the time I go to bed.
Thats why I've decided to start keeping a journal, and taking pictures every day.
Im going to do a trial run of this for a month because, lets be honest, Im not the best at keeping with something day to day.
I'll probably be updating the blog with some of the entries and pics just so im accountable (dont worry, im not going to post every day and bore you with the mundane aspects of my life, which are many lol).
So here are some pics that I took today:
My boys goofing around in the grocery store
Edward outside of the grocery store acting weird.
Hangin in the backyard
Zach was dancing around. I had a heck of a time getting him to stand still!
I hope you will keep checking back to see whats goin on with me and the fam!
