Day 150. May 30, 2011

I ended my day of pool and bbq festivities with a short notice surprise baby shower. Way too much sugar was consumed during the brief time I was there, but it was fun!

Day 149. May 29, 2011

Getting a jump on the memorial day festivities with a little Sunday afternoon swimming.

I always love when the other half's cousin is in town. We have such a fun time together...and we're pretty gangster too :)

Day 147. May 27, 2011

Out for a VERY rare but well deserved completely kid free evening with my other half :)

Day 146. May 26, 2011

Did you hear that? Yes, it was in fact my heavy sigh....lovely to deal with all this chaos just trying to get to and from work for the next....few weeks??... months??? who knows. I feel even worse for anyone that needs to visit the courthouse :(

Day 145. May 25, 2011

Please..... Think of the children!!!!!

Day 144. May 24, 2011

My sweet bliss receiving one of several awards for the 2010-2011 school year. A/B honor roll all year, excellent conduct, most motivated in art club, art club recognition, and she officially holds the record for the "sit and reach" stretching test at her elementary school!

The teenager, getting his "3.5 and up GPA" award for the 2010-2011 school year :)
(I have to admit, both this pic and Day 144 actually happened on day 144, but how do I not include them both!!??!!)

Day 142. May 22, 2011

Happy Graduation party Day to Ms. Victoria. I know your parents are super proud of you, and we are too!

Day 141. May 21, 2011

Today was filled with lots of kid activities. Last soccer game for the smallest sunshine, kick off meeting for the Bliss' cheer 2011-2012 season, and then a football picnic to mark the end of the spring season for the teenager. I'm so proud of all the things these three stay involved in, and that they manage to keep schoolwork at the top of the to do list as well. Proud mom moment, indeed!

Day 140. May 20, 2011

playing trivia with the family on a very rare but well deserved dinner out!

Day 139. May 19, 2011

Day 138. May 18, 2011

Last week we got a pretty good laugh out of the fact that we coincidentally have the same bike, so when we showed up to ride this week in the same shirt...I just had to get a picture of it!

Day 137. May 17, 2011

When I switch purses, I usually just dump everything into the next bag..so I shouldn't be surprised to find random things such as Orajel, a USB cord, old coupons, several different shades of lipstick, and a broken pen when I reach in there ;)

blurry, but I love the fact that I can finally look a little "sun kissed" on a Monday !

Day 130. May 10, 2011

It makes me happy to find an awesome bargain on items we need, especially when they can play a dual role! Today we ended up with an almost new, very nice, leather jacket for $15 that will work for my sweet Bliss' "history alive" costume, as well as keep me warm this winter. I call that a big win for the savings account :)

Day 125. May 5, 2011

Field trip day with my bliss :) It was so neat to actually go somewhere that I had been as a child. Funny how the desks were much smaller this time around ;)

Day 124. May 4, 2011

Another exciting night of salad, kindle time, and dvr....at least the house was quiet, even if I did have to wait until after 8 to eat!

Day 123. May 3, 2011

It's amazing what a few inexpensive changes can do to a room. Definitely enjoying the updated look of our guest bathroom :)

Day 122. May 2, 2011

Technically took this pic last night, but as you can see...the "$7 wedding nails" were a complete success. I've been to the beach, to soccer games, birthday parties, a wedding, cleaned the entire house without gloves...and they still look phenomenal. Easy to apply (and I stink at anything that involves the use of a steady hand) and great to look at. I will definitely use these again!

Day 121. May 1, 2011

man are we in trouble in a few years......

Day 120. April 30, 2011

Congrats to the Maroney Family. What a beautiful and unique way to say I do. We were blessed to be a part of it!

Day 119. April 29, 2011

Yes, I watched it. Yes, I loved it. NO, I don't "know" them.... but who cares. It's beautiful, it's historic, and it's a moment of love and beauty and unity in a world filled with doubt and worry and fear. You can brighten my day with cheerful images anytime you like ABC!! ;)

Day 118. April 28, 2011

my $7 investment for wedding festivities this weekend. Trying to be frugal and fashionable all at once. Cross your fingers for me :)
