bed time

tonight, alice was having a real problem with the sound of sleet against her windows.

ten minutes after putting her to bed, she yells down to me and says,
"mom, can you call mother nature and tell her to turn off the sleet?" "No," i replied.

"well, do you know her cell phone number?" she says back to me.

sugar anyone?

a.w. had a rockin'

rock star themed 5th birthday party.

here's alice rockin' out, on the way home to a

kiddy version of katy perrys, california girls.

QUOTE OF THE DAY #965

Alice said last night,

"Mom, Wiggles is really tickling me off!"

LOOKIN GOOD, BOO-BOO

WE TOOK THE SPRINKLES TO SEE

YOGI BEAR ON SATURDAY NIGHT. WE HAD NO CLUE IT WAS A 3D MOVIE TILL WE BOUGHT THE TICKETS! LOOKING OVER & SEEING MY FAMILY IN THESE COOL GLASSES MADE ME SMILE BIG EVERYTIME. THIS HOUR & TWENTY MINUTE MOVIE WAS JUST SO SO.

( CANT BELIEVE J. TIMBERLAKE WAS BOO BOO)

nothin like a little B&B

OUR SPRINKLES LOVED GOING BOWLING. then we took them to MOE'S Bar in Rossford, for a jo-jo's pizza.

my whole family went, 15 of us. it was a blast!

interstate lanes in rossford was so nice. the little shoes are cute. when its the sprinkles turn to bowl, the bumpers automaticly raise, so you dont have to get a seperate lane for the adults.

try it out!

happy

twenty-eleven!

holy shit, i'll be 34 this year...

we made it through the holidays with lots of fun family happenings. cousin loco & coco were in town for a bit and the kiddos had lots of fun playing with their new toys.

although it was very cute, i am happy (SO HAPPY) to say alice has FINALLY stopped singing "FELIZ NAVIDAD."

WOW, SHE TOOK A LIKING TO THAT SONG!!

also, thanks to douglas, my sisters & i are in an

"all out chia pet growing competition".

yep, my garfield chia pet is taking the lead.

shrek & homer you better giddy on up!!

quote of the day #1001

a sign we play restaurant to much

my kids and i are always roll playing. but this was a sure sign we were playing to much.

mr. wiggles was sitting at the dinner table waiting for his food. when i gave him his plate, he looked at me and said, "Waitress, tell me about this hummus?"

he was trying to figure out if it was Zingo's or Byblo's hummus. lol

maybe a sign we eat to much lebanese food, huh???

eatzingos.com thanks e-ka for making great hummus!!

bathtime fun

GREAT STOCKING STUFFER!!

check out coco's new product at LITTLE LONDON, SPLASHIMALS

alice & mr. wiggles can't get enough of these fun floating bath/pool cards,

fun on dry ground too. i give alice the heads & wiggles gets the... well... you know whats. :)

they have fun figuring out the amimal they have made.

we don't have these yet, but she also has SumBodies.

Where else can you see an astronaut sumo wrestler with legs as delicate as a ballerina

battle it out with a caveman mermaid with the brain of a robot!

for the love of...

...OWLS???

IT'S STRANGE!!!!

I KNOW !!

but ever since alice was born, i just can't get enough of them.

a couple of months ago, a friend introduced me to emily & her sister suzie. they are the owners behind, JELLY TOAST & JELLY TOAST KIDS. check them out at http://www.etsy.com/people/jellytoastkids, they have lots of cool stuff.

the best part about our owl friends, is that i was able to customize them. alice loves hot tea and purple and mr. wiggles loves, NO, LOVES, HEAVY MACHINES.

so meet HAZEL & HENRY.

each come with names and a short biography. hazel loves sugar cubes and collects vintage tee-shirts. while, henry loves finger painting and watching "This Old House."

emily & suzie would love to make a special owl friend for you too, email them at jelly.toast@hotmail.com. the price is right too!! $22ish. did i mention they are two local moms. how they find time to make all these fun things, beats me! i'm jealous! (i'm a closet bad ass on a sewing machine, ask KP)

I LOVE JELLY TOAST

WHO... WHOO DOESN'T NEED AN OWL FRIEND?????

EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY IS GETTING ONE, WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.

OWLS...OWLS ALL AROUND!!!
