so, i've changed my name. okay ... not really, lol. but seriously, i hate this starbucks. after an incident with their lids one day, i vowed never to return..... but i'm a sucker.

and how cute is this? just had to share. i haven't bought much for this baby, but i had someone make this for me on etsy. it's really cute, and the workman ship is top notch!

we went to the zoo today. it was BEEEEE-U-TI-FUL! 72 degrees, breezy ... ah .. perfect! the only thing that wasn't perfect, was kayleigh's mood.... boy, i don' tremember being such a stinker at 6! 16, yes ... but SIX? sheesh

and this one just because, lol!

and here i am - all 25 weeks of me. i gained 8 pounds this month - eek! that shirt i'm wearing was HUGE a month ago. looks like i'll have to start laying off the ben & jerry's!

we were cleaning out the garage this afternoon & i pulled out the little spring play tunnel. norah loved it. wish i could have kept this color because there was a lot that would be fun to pop ... but alas, half her face was green from it, so in order to get this up in a timely manner, b&w is the way to go!

i was going to take some pictures at the playground today, but the wind was really crazy & the dust from the baseball field was flying at us, so i didn't want to risk the camera..... so i snapped the cows behind our house on the way home. :)

the kids made pretzels today. i've been promising for a few days. they had so much fun! it's so neat watching them together. i'm so glad they have eachother. it's what i've always dreamed of, really! the good, the bad, and days like today ...

the kids love to play humpty dumpty on our headboard, lol. and yes, norah's wearing way too small pj's. they're a 3-6mo for newbabe. she demanded to wear them before her nap.

271/365

went through all the saved clothes we have to get rid of all the boy stuff! this pair of ethan's old pj's were great for norah since she can't figure out how to get out of them. she's CONSTANTLY stripping, and these help a lot. we've been putting her other ones on bckwards, since she can unbutton them, lol.

i am so sick of my camera.

i don't know why, but i totally feel like i'm going backwards, like i know nothing. i've been very hard pressed t opick it up lately, if only just to squeeze out a snapshot for this project. i don't know if i'm going to make it another 96 days.
