oh snap

this is my taxi schedule this week:

monday- tumbling/break dance class.

tuesday- school, swim lessons, linc's girlfriend's bday party.

wednesday- school, kindergarten roundup, book club (for me), church mtgs (dave).

thursday- school, swim lessons, baby shower.

friday- april fools (want to do silly stuff for the boys).

oh, and one of my besties is having her baby today. and i need to get 2 little boy bday presents and a big boy bday card (all of which will be late).

did i mention i feel like hell and have a ridiculously bad head cold/strep? and that lulu woke up last night around midnight with it as well. and dave is working killer overtime to get a bit finished (we're talking 14 hour days)?

wish me luck.

*this coat. told ya i had a thing for coats. wouldn't it be perfect for spring?

*these naughty little calorie counters. i love pretend coconut. tried a real coconut once. didn't like it at all.

*reading. have read this, this, this, and this the past month. loved all 4 of them. when do i have time to read all these books you may ask? remember the part where i'm hooked to a machine like a farm animal at least 2 times a day? that's when. haven't watched days for a month now.

*this blog makes me really want to get into cookie decorating. i won't, and they would never look that good, but still...

*tried making something new in the kitchen and attempted this. filling, good. mini size, good (if i would've used the right kind of cupcake tin). crust, awful. i did use whole wheat flour (that's all we have), so maybe that's why it was disgusting. next time i'll just get a store bought pie crust.

*am thinking about doing this for friday. dave hates april fools. maybe if i made it silly instead of pranky he would like it.

*using this a lot lately. one of the best faux tans i've found so far. i feel so much better with a little bit of a tan. haven't been in a bed for over 3 years.

holy crapballs (name that movie), life is BUSY right now!
i've been meaning to do a mcdonald monday post,
but being as it's tuesday night, looks like i missed it again.
next week friends, next week you will see some of the latest and greatest things i love.

just wanted to let all 3 of you out there that follow this blog know, i'm still alive.
just trying to balance life a little as a mom of 3.
with 2 of those 3 being involved in a lot of stuff right now.
and 1 of those 3 learning to sleep in a crib instead of her swing.

as promised

i promised in my last tweet that i would post a recipe.

i made this for a baby shower yesterday and it always is a hit.

moody mumblings

*oh glee, how you disappoint me.

you were an awesome show 'til you went all hollywood.

now you're on the verge of being kicked off the dvr.

*what's with this woman modeling nursing bras?
who has a waist line and 6 pack while they're nursing?
as if i wasn't self conscious about my gut enough already...
thanks a lot bella materna.

*so tired of the snow.
yes, it's been warmer outside.
grateful for the sunshine.
but really wish all the dirty snow would melt.

*booked family pictures for next month.
had to book them before my groupon expired.
really not ready for pictures yet.

*i have postpartum hair.
which means it's falling out and thinning out like crazy!
and it's already really thin.
and gray.
and hasn't been trimmed in almost 6 months.
hence the lack of effort in styling it...ever.

*really need a tan.
hate the upkeep of a spray on.
hate the cancer of a bed even more.

alright, i'm done with the moody mumbles.

tomorrow i'll post a good recipe or two to make over the weekend.
any suggestions of what you'd like to see?

wouldn't have gotten the tiny bit of sleep i did get without it.

*love this dress,

but can't decide if it would look good on me or not.

*this coat is fabulous!

i have a thing for coats.

*this baby quilt.

*this and this make me want to have an awesome pantry.

melcome.

since you've been gone

*long weekend in happy valley.
mostly happy.
as happy as one can be whilst herding 3 ducklings in the mall.
alone.

*los hermonos is gone?!?!
oh wait...they just moved across the street.
wtf los.

*girl that took my room service order was named mindy.
waitress today at red robin was named mindy.
guess they heard you can make really good money in the food industry if your name is mindy.

*oh yeah, zoobies.
and not a good "oh yeah" either.

*grateful to have family close by that i can trust my baby with.
thanks amy and girls.

*really wish vernal had a sam's club.
or costco.

*my checking account is grateful vernal doesn't have a sam's club.
or costco.

*found my mother's day present** at sam's club.
let the boys pick between silver and gold.
that totally counts as them picking it out, right?
**not exact necklace, but close enough to show you.

*my boys got to witness their dad in all his vocal point glory.
good times.
that man definitely still has it.
i felt a little bit like a bieber fan.
if bieber was a 35 year old, slightly balding, well fed, mormon.

*had a fabulous time reminiscing with some of the best guys i know.
and their wonderful families.
got to get together more than every 5 years.

*good food, good (for the most part) kids, good weather, good friends=great weekend.

morning mumblings

*so tired.
trying to sleep train Lucy to sleep in her crib.
she's been up at least 4 times a night for the past 2 weeks.
also Grant woke up with the croup cough last night.
sigh, it's going to be a long day.

*really want to do this.
if i could find cheap flights i think i would book it.

*trying to think of something to do with all 3 kids on friday.
dave will be in rehearsals ALL DAY and my usual going to the mall doesn't sound
that fun with 3 monkeys tagging along.

*need to go to costco while we are in slc.
now just need a place to put all the crap we're going to get while shopping there.

*really wanted to run today.
can't take grant to child care while he sounds like a seal.
maybe i'll try some zumba in the basement instead.
who am i kidding, i'm giving grant his ipad and taking a nap as soon as lincoln leaves for school.
