a happy birthday...

post...and a crap i am overwhelmed post...all in one... ha ha ha...so seth turned 6 yesterday..6 where does 6 years go..i ask myself...fast that's for sure...he had a good day...friends at school..and some shopping for birthday presents after school..top on his list...anything that has to do with skateboarding and indiana jones...so we got a couple of skate ramps and the new movie...and of course a birthday party to follow in a couple of weeks...so let's see 6 things about my little man...1. LOVES his mommy...2. LOVES to be outside riding his bike...3. LOVES to torture his sister lillie...4. can eat cereal morning noon and night...5. LOVES to watch the family guy with his daddy....6. is the ONLY one of my kiddos that LOOKS like me...FINALLY ...having a boy is SO different than the girls... he has SO much energy to burn every day...and always has to be doing something...i am so grateful to be a mom to a boy...and i just LOVE him...even when he is a total turd in the morning trying to leave for school...( NOT a morning person at all) here are a couple of pics from yesterday...it was a BUSY day for me..between kids being sick in my house..me still trying to get better...evan not feeling well....fighting all the time with my oldest...{uggg} and doing my very best with polka dot whimsy...which right now i could strangle some of those companies...i really don't think they get it..i mean a store sometimes can wait for there stuff..but a kit club i am ON a schedule here people...and i order so far in advance that at times i just sit here and cry and shake my head..i don't understand it...anyone who knows me..KNOWS i am a huge people pleaser...HUGE! it sometimes gets the best of me....and with PDW i envision so much...that i get rattled when it is not going the way it is supposed to go...i just wish the companies could see that...so all week so far i have been on the phone trying to fix the situation..and that itself is draining...and poor Evan he calls to check on me and i am a ball of tears...he is like oh no what now...and then there i go...on my rant about this scrapbook industry and the shipping problems that come from it....you would think by now that i would learn not to put so MUCH new new stuff in the kits as it always blows up on me...but what do you do... :) so there is my ranting ..not to bad...just really annoyed....so today wish me luck on my quest of these darn companies...well i hope your day turns out better than mine... :) :) and thanks for listening....

so...what do you...

do when your Internet and phone service are down ALL DAY LONG! well....you clean up your scrap room..and prepare dinner....while the kids are at school you take that alone time and watch a movie...{maid of honor} very cute...and drink your diet coke while munching on carrots and ranch dressing....and then go through your clothes for donations...and then call your friend ceirra a thousand times on your cell phone....and oh through out the day you keep checking to see if the darn Internet is working...with NO success....so now that your scrap room is all cleaned up you decided to scrap...{there's a concept}...now still having about a hour before the kids get home.....i had a couple of options...a} go to the gym or B} look though catalogs for product for decembers kits.....i chose B as i was to lazy to stop and have to put gas in my car to get to the gym.....and now by this point i am ready to walk up to the school and pick up the kiddos...thank goodness it was early day..i am not sure what i would have done for anther 1 1/2 by myself....so as the kiddos and i get home....first snack had to be made...{leftover cheesecake and cupcakes} healthy i know...and homework had to be done....and now after these things where finished...they were bored...so we watched speed racer....and then..decided to play a new indoor game....balloon volleyball....{ a huge hit}...that was some serious hours of entertainment..lillie loved doing the headers with the balloon..now there was one accident...and that would involve me...as i was blowing up anther balloon it popped right in my eye...and on my face...it sorta stung for a little bit..but a little ice made it feel better..plus the extra hugs i got for getting hurt..{Lillie was the most concerned} she fears anything that involves getting hurt..{mainly because her brother tourches her all the time and she is ALWAYS getting hurt by him}...so ...that was my fun boring..but entertaining day with out the Internet...who knew it could be fun...and then in other news..Lillie passed out all the invites..man this is going to be one BIG party...they were so cute all of them stuck in a real cupcake...i LOVE that kind of stuff...well i gotta go help the hubby finish up dinner....so i hope all of you had a great day to...

Where did 9 YEARS GO!

so nine years ago today this beautiful Little girl was born...now there is story about this baby to be....you see evan and i had been dating for about a year....and then we moved in together..and planned on getting married in the fall...and well a few months into our new house...i found out i was pregnant...now already having 2 beautiful little girls..i was very worried about entering baby ville again...but this time it was different i had this totally awesome terrific guy right by my side...and so after nervously telling him..ummm guess what....i am pregnant...he said...well lets move up the wedding and get ready for baby...just like that...that simple...that easy..i was like umm ok... :) so we married in march...and lillie was born in september...she still hasn't figured the time line yet... (he he thank goodness) so here i am this morning wondering where 9 years went...i have to admit she is pretty amazing herself...ALLOT like her daddy...quiet and shy...a huge fan of soccer ( or if you ask her she calls it by the real name FUTBOL) loves to annoy her little brother...a huge scrapbooker....she has lots of friends...and NO drama yet...(anther thank goodness) she has wild crazy hair that someday she will hate..but for now she loves it....she is so into clothes it's kinda scary....and her favorite place to eat is souplantion....and her favorite spot in the world (besides the soccer field) is cuddling with her mommy and daddy....opps and teddy....so i welcome back my blog today....for her...you will start seeing me around here more...i miss yip yapping about this and that...so heres to LILLIE....HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL GIRL!!!!!!
