it’s been really hot

May 25, 2010

The count down has begun and i know for some of you summer has already started.

Fin’s last day of pre-k is thursday….and i wonder if i will cry or laugh…..

cry just because he will no longer be in preschool….and laugh because kindergarten

is the exact same amount of time is preschool….2.5 hours.

Mason and Lola still have till June 4th …and trust me…i’m savoring every single day left.

It’s been in the 90′s the last few days also….and the windows open just weren’t doing

it over here….we had to crank on the a/c.

You see…heat and humidity don’t get along very well with me…..

and my hair seems to have a mind of it’s own. I normally buy bumble and bumble’s de-frizz

and after i washed my hair the other night…i went in the cabinet to grab the very expensive

bottle of it to lather over my ‘should have been born in the 60′s’ hair and noticed it had

been dumped out and filled with water instead.

I will NOT spank the said five year old that did it.

So….today i have frizzy nappy hair and all i think i need is a bottle of Sun-In and

my tube of spf 2 coppertone OIL and sit out back with my tin foil wrapped face.

nuff said.

Then on Sunday morning……this guy opened his mouth to talk to me and i noticed a loose tooth.

then by the end of the day it was gone.

The other two kids didn’t lose the first one till close to first grade.

My boy is getting big……so i asked him if we should change his diaper

and does he want to nurse again.

He looked at me weird.

Then i forgot…i never nursed my kids.

We also made it to the French market again on Sunday….it’s our calling to do so from up above…

you know…..when you are told to go forth and eat french crepe’s every sunday at the

farmers market….then you better listen.

Lola chowed hers down faster then you can say ‘she put on a pink skirt’.

The big news was…..

this wall clock fell off the wall in the middle of the night.

We have plaster walls…..and i guess the nail got tired of holding it.

It came crashing down at about 4 in the morning making everyone in the family

start screaming that we were being attacked.

Mason even yelled……grab your swords!

{i think he’s been playing to many video games}

Luckily…..only a cloche and cake stand were injured in the fall….

all those little antique glass bottles survived.

………………………….

and on to other exciting news…..

my Mason does not like to be photographed…he just doesn’t.

But he wanted me to show you what he could do….

he’s such a show off i tell ya.

So….without further ado….

i introduce you to Sir Mason and the magic balloon!




the end.

time stopper….

May 23, 2010

I’m not quite sure where to start.

I feel as if i am on a roller coaster right now….you know the feeling….

where you are sitting helpless all the while strapped in your seat watching

everything just go by…..or fly by.

And all you can do is sit there.

The kids have 2 weeks of school left….just two….

with a summer that is already packed full of goodness.

Where did this year go and how do i stop the clock?

I’m in a funk. ….and without getting personal….we are going thru some trying times

over here.

Alrighty then….now that i got that off my chest…{and i don’t even have a chest}

…….i thought i’d show you some

photos taken from a shoot the other day.

I was hired by the smiles of some of my friends to take some photos of the

kids for Fathers day….and of course i brought Lola along with me.

Can you believe i did not have to even pay her this time!

She even threw her whole outfit together.

Lola might be a raggedy jeans and shirt on the outside but deep down

she’s an anthro girl who will one day be travelling the globe looking for their new line

and getting momma all hooked up with the discounts.

{i mean really….we can’t all aspire to be the next doctor..right}

Lola was doing her own thing here…….

and i’m just glad it’s an abandoned track.



My mom came back into town {again} on friday…..

my dad flew in last night…so we have one packed day.

First on the list…..is going back to the French market….and Denisa’s crepe’s.

I also got my herb garden all planted yesterday……

and my back yard all fussied up because i’m hosting a little

pre-party before a bunch of us girls head out Thursday night for

Sex and the City.

Watch out Carrie Bradshaw…….mom of three wearing spanx is headed your way.

……………………………

I just had to throw in a few of the photos of my friends children….

how could i not.

Have i told you that this little girl is the next contender for Fin’s heart?

I told her….as long as you can give a good back tickle….you’re in.

Peach Sangia

May 21, 2010

Happy Friday all!

I’m recovering from a girls night out but thought you all might benefit from

my favorite little peach sangria for the weekend.

This really is such an easy drink to make….and everyone loves it. It’s perfect for

a party…or just hanging out with friends in the backyard.

We love to have friends over…sitting around the backyard

listening to the sweet sound of mosquito’s buzzing in the air.

hmmmm.

That doesn’t really sound good..does it?! Luckily the mosquito’s have not made

it out yet…..so feel free to hang out back as long as you can.

Serve it in your favorite glass…i love my mason jars!

PEACH SANGRIA:

2 c. sliced fresh strawberries

2 c. sliced fresh white peaches

{if you can’t find white peaches then regular ones are just fine and if you can’t find ripe peaches

then using canned peaches drained or frozen peaches will work }

1/2 an orange sliced 3-4 slices

1/2 a lemon sliced into 3-4 slices

1 bottle of white wine {i use chardonnay…..and an inexpensive one}

1 /2 bottle of moscato {it’s a dessert wine..any brand will do…i don’t pay more that $8 for mine}

1 c. peach schnapps

2 c. ice cubes

Mix all the ingredients together in a pitcher and let sit for 4-5 hours in the fridge. Make a double batch if you want…

i always do because one pitcher never seems to be enough.

Enjoy!!!!
