Porch Timez!

Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know that awesome stuff is happening here!! The weather has finally turned and the kids and I are enjoying every minute of it. I haven’t been tied to the computer in days, and I’m loving it. We are spending every waking minute in the porch or backyard. 7 months of winter makes all very excited to be enjoying time in our shortz! I do have some cool outside projects in the works and I hope to be finishing them up in the next day or two so I can share with you. I’m working hard to get a cool post out on the internetz tomorrow! See you soon friends!! Related posts:Glitter Pinecone OrnamentsPORCH TIMEZ = BEST TIMEZSick…SNOW!

It Happened!

April 29, 2013
SPRINKLER!

Guys, it was warm enough to run through the sprinkler over the weekend! This was something we were already doing in March last spring. We’ve been waiting so long for this moment, it was so amazingly good. The weather has affected my mood so greatly this year, it has seriously felt like the best medicine ever to sit in the sun with our shorts on and soak up those rays! I’m not sure I’ve ever been as happy. I hope you all got a chance to enjoy your weekends too. We hear snow may be in the forecast for Thursday, but we’re trying to not let that ruin this cool spring feeling we’ve got going on. P.S. Dads and Uncles can not resist sprinklers, it’s a known fact.

Obsessed

April 10, 2013
Obsessed with Drawing

Our little guy Gus has become a bit obsessed with drawing recently. I’m surprised by this because although Finn likes to draw, he was never really into drawing in a non-stop-over-a-period-of-days-with-only-eating-and-sleeping-as-your-only-other-activities sort of a way. I’ve never seen a kid so into something like this, he watches his hand make the marks and he tears through paper like nobody’s business. I guess I’m lucky he’s only drawing on paper, I’ve gone through about a whole ream in the last 2 days. I’m excited to see him so into something, but the insistant need for crayons and paper is getting a litte OOC (aka “out of control”). In other news, it’s snowing, and it’s supposed to keep snowing until there is like a foot of snow. Do you guys know how sad this makes me? It’s soul crushing, and I’m not even being over dramatic about it. I find it hard to have the will to do much of anything on days like today. I’m still sitting in my PJ’s. I probably will switch to leggings (aka day time PJ’s) when it’s time to take Finn to school, but under my jacket will be all jams. I have wool socks on, [...]

Spring! Spring! Spring Break!

April 1, 2013
Spring!

Hey Guys! It’s getting so close to being spring around here, but unfortunately my backyard is still covered in snow. I know the first spring flowers are coming and I can barely stand the wait. This spring has been a total bummer when it comes to being on time this year, there’s nothing more frustrating then making through the winter only to experience a slow spring warm up. I was looking back over my garden photos from last April and I couldn’t resist sharing a few. I’m hoping we’ll have some of this action going on in the coming weeks. I don’t know if I could bare any more spring disappointment. Finn is on spring break this week and I figured it would be a good idea for me to take a spring break too. I’m gonna focus on hanging with the kids and I’ll be back to blogging next Monday. Let’s hope I have something green in my yard to share with you then! I think it’s good to take a break from time to time, even bloggers need spring vacays too. Looking forward to coming back refreshed and ready to go! See ya in a week. Go Twins! [...]
