"I Do, I Do"

Seems to be that anytime I do anything I hear running feet and a little voice saying "I do, I do." Suddenly my project is taken over by two little hands and a very strong willed personality. It's actually really sweet to see how much he loves to be apart of everything. But let's be honest; somehow "I do, I do" leads to twice the mess and twice as long. My kitchen will never be the same after our cinnamon roll experience.

Master: Before And After

I finally finished up our master bedroom, well kind of. There are still some things to do but they'll probably never get done. It all snowballed when I turned our guest room into a playroom and we needed to put our desk somewhere. And why not redo your whole room when changing a desk location? After looking at the after photos I realized that a) I'm really bad at taking indoor photos, b) I need to learn how to make my bed, and c) that I need a tailored bed skirt that doesn't look like such a wrinkled mess. These probably all fall into the "things that will never get completed" category. Sigh.

After:

All By Myself

Almost two is such a pleasant "all by myself" age. I'll sum it up with a few key words.... "no," and "mine." Let's not forget the well rehearsed tantrums when you offer any type of help or take something away like a knife or scissors. I bought him a step stool to help him be a bit more independent which I thought would help some of my lifting problems. Independent he is... he can now reach the stove, microwave, ice-maker, dead bolts, and basically everything. Genius idea Shannon.

Thank goodness the rain stopped.... my energizer bunny can channel some of that energy outdoors!

He might be tearing apart his first roly poly. On accident of course...

Pier 39

A couple of weekends ago we spent a beautiful Saturday in SF. Hello.... where did this rain come from??

We walked up/down the embarcadero, spent some time at Pier 39, rode the carousal, ate some mini donuts, celebrated the seals 21st anniversary with them, ate the best oranges ever at the farmers market, chased Weston around {and secretly wished for an ounce of his energy}, and then ate at our fav spot Gott's. Such a fun day....

The Next Best Thing to A Peep

is a dark chocolate dipped peep.

Magnet Board

I bought the Ung Drill frame at Ikea.... not knowing what to do with it. Then I shattered the glass in it and I really didn't know what to do with it.

I wanted it to be a chalkboard but I can't deal with the dust so.... it evolved into a magnet board for Weston's playroom. I thought he would love it since he loves putting magnets up on my friends fridge. Let's just say he acts like he is being tortured when I try to help him do a little activity with magnets. Maybe I should have made his magnet board look like a fridge?

Danica's Wedding

I was so happy to see Danica get married and even happier to spend the entire day with my friends while at the wedding and reception. We all carpooled up the canyon and it was so fun. It was like we were in high school again but just in a nicer car :) My definition of good friends is picking up as if you went to lunch yesterday but you actually only see them once a year {boo!!}

Danica looked gorgeous {someone send me pics}, her and the hubs are darling together, the setting was AMAZING {up Alta canyon}, and I miss my friends!

3rd Row

is where we found ourselves last night. Staring at David Gray. Mesmerized. Yes, we still love him and this concert made us love him more {if that is even possible.} Seriously, third row will change your life.

Eating Snow

I had a girlfriend get married a couple of weeks ago so Weston and I flew to Utah. No major crisis's on the plane except that I for sure determined that a mom, an 8 month belly, and a 20 month old BARELY fit into a seat. Also, it is definitely not a good situation when the tray table is down. I know this how? Because Weston is apparently obsessed with tray tables and ours was either in the process of getting yanked down or smashed up the entire flight. I don't know who I felt more bad for.... me or the person sitting in front of us?

Weston loved seeing the "no, no, no" and he loved to eat it. At one point my dad brought him in a cup of snow and he ate the entire thing as if it was a snow cone. Oh to be a kid again....

Wingback: Before And After

Seems as if my re-decorating projects are taking triple the time they normally should take. It might have something to do with me laying on the couch all the time? Anyhow, just got back my wingback {found at a consignment store} from the upholsterer. I'm really happy with how it turned out. My favorite part of this experience was my upholstery guy asking me, "So, do you really like this fabric?" as I handed him 7 1/2 yards of fabric. Classic.

3 Day Weekends

are probably the greatest thing ever. I'm pretty sure the world would be a happier place if every week was a 4 day work week. Anyhow.... we went to Happy Hollow on Monday and that place is so fun. I'm super bummed because the worst pictures I've probably ever taken were taken when Weston was having the most fun. Soooooo frustrating!!

Weston loved everything... the animals, the rides {especially driving the cars and ringing the bell}, trying things he's too little to do, spending time with his dad, and scarfing down Pizza My Heart afterwards.
