Not just for girls

I always thought dress up was just for girls, boy was I wrong. Lorenzo and Liam live to dress up. Christmas felt more like Halloween as they both got a bunch of costumes. We have a huge tub upstairs that is overflowing with jedi paraphernalia, cloaks, masks and strange looking black jumpsuits. This last week Liam has gone to the doctor as Indiana Jones, picked the kids up in his swat team gear and paraded around the neighborhood as Jango Fett. He really is cute though! To think I thought I was going to miss out on dress-up without any little girls :)

Super Holly

My incredibly creative and oh so talented friend Holly made these awesome treats for me. I feel so special!!!! I had to make everyone come in and look last night and tell them they were custom made just for me!

Holly and I were roommates in college and not only is she amazing at all she does she is one of the nicest people I know. I was so excited that I found her blog, I feel a little guilty to also get a custom made gift from her just for leaving a comment. I can remember many a night back in school when Holly and Eleanor would bring out their scrapbooking supplies (this was way before scrapbooking was big) and by the end of the night Holly would have created the most amazing work of art. We also spent many nights getting a little crazy with the glitter and our neighbors front door. I was so lucky to have such wonderful roomies!! They put up with my trumpet and music and even came to my concerts. Holly thanks so much for being such a great friend!!!! p.s. if you want to check out some of Holly's amazing work click here

Feeling Better

Ok, I think that the kids must have known I could take no more because the rest of today has been good. I owe a lot of the credit to James Taylor and the Skor bar I just ate. but most of all thanks for all your encouraging words, I think I can now make it through another week :)

Patience is a Virtue (i don't possess)

Do you ever have days (or weeks) where you just feel like you are going to loose it? I feel like the kids have been fighting the whole week and my patience is not just wearing thin it is gone. Jeremy has been working a ton lately and we have had 4-5 appointments a week. This means that I have to tote all 3 boys to each appointment by myself, make them behave, try and at least look like I have it together then come home get homework done with Lorenzo (don't even ask) and start it all again the next day. I have really been wishing we lived by family so that I could call up a mom, sister, grandma and say can you please pick up so and so from school today because I have to be 3 places at once and my cloning machine is on the fritz!

Waimea Valley Audubon Center Fun

We took the kids out hiking yesterday and had a blast exploring Waimea Valley. The water was bit on the cold side and Jeremy was mad about the unflattering pictures, but he got some of me too (although not in a bathing suit haha) so I think all is fair :)


my favorite picture :)


love the angle on this one, it has "enhanced" my already "enhanced" area lol
