Mother's Day, New Kicks and Art Projects
What a fine day it's been. My lovely husband pulled out all the stops, proudly presenting me with a dozen white roses and a new pair of Adidas Bounce running shoes. No I don't run exactly, but I do chase kids for a living. 'nuff said. The girls and I spent this past week working on a project for the grandma's. 10x10 pre-stretched canvases which they painted and I put some handprints on. They turned out fantastic, the picture truly doesn't do them justice. Lastly I spent the weekend with my girls. It was fun and relaxing, just the way I like it.

The Couch
One of the 'treasures' my husband discovered cleaning out his uncles house, was a 1970's child-sized sofa. It was in great shape structurally, but needed a bit of an update. Yesterday he braved the city traffic and hit JoAnn Fabrics (how cute is that?), in order to reupholster it. He did a great job!

Spring Fever!
It's been a long time since I've blogged. We've been really busy the past few months and I'll admit I've been lazy about it. I sit down at night with thoughts of catching up and as my body winds down from the day, so does my energy. The girls are good. Great in fact! They are so verbal and expressive. Payton is very imaginative and girly. Addison is loud and direct. They compliment each other well.
Last weekend we took a trip to the zoo, but this weekend was spent at home. We're getting some very nice weather (in between the rain) we're all trying to enjoy as much as possible. Here are a few pics from our afternoon enjoying the outdoors.
My little speed racers-
One of our dogs, Bug, who for some reason loves to climb trees-
Sadly a few weekends ago my husband's Uncle Ron passed away. In helping clean out his garage he came across an old mower, it's called a Flymo. Incredibly it's a hover-mower and this evening he got it running. It's so cool! You can push it, pull it, even swing it side-to-side. I've never seen anything like it before, but it's awesome.

30 great things - Part 4 :So I've slacked off ...
but I have a great excuse! Last night was my 30th birthday party! It was soooo fun! We had a great time. So below are some fun pics, followed by the 3rd installment of my great things.

30 great things ...
19. Digital Picture Frames- The *best* invention ever! I've had one for a few years and love it. Last night my wonderful husband got me a new one. It's completely decked out. Touch screen nav, it plays music, stores 1000 pictures internally and more.
20. Tart warmers- I love candles, however I'm scared I'll burn the house down or something. My solution? A tart warmer hooked to a timer. My house smells fantastic and I don't have to worry about fire!
21. Crappy country- Meaning well used, well distressed kitchy art. Nothing is better than something that looks like it's been in the trash for a few years.
22. Calla Lilies- My favorite flower. Gorgeous, sleek and simple.
23. Dreft Stain Remover- Do you know how many outfits I've saved with this? It works like nothing else I've ever used. Formula, baby food, blood, grass stains, gone!
24. Microsuede/Microfibre- The best invention ever for anyone with kids! It looks great, cleans easily and pet hair just zooms off of it. It has saved me so much time I can't even begin to profess my love for it.

30 great things - Part 3
13. Underwear- Covers it all, and way more comfortable than wearing your bikini bottoms all day.
14. Portable DVD Players- My girls *hate* the car. Have always hated the car. Last summer with a camping trip in the works we broke down and picked one up. You know that moment on tv where a light shines on the main character and angels sing? Yah that's what it's like.
15. Country music- I'm from Ohio ok?
16. Gain Laundry Detergent- I have sensitive skin and can only use a few detergents. Gain is one of them. May I just say it is the only one that leaves my clothes smelling lovely days after washing. Try it!
17.Yo Gabba Gabba! DJ Lance Magic Dance Hat- I don't actually own this, but come on. Does it not look like hella fun?
18.McDonald's new fish commercial- I dare you to get it out of your head.
