So, I'm really bad at keeping this blog updated. I think my last post was in May. Geesh!

Mmm, so now that I've decided to update, what should I say. Jeff was gone for the summer on an internship in Idaho. While he was there the kids and I stayed with my family for the summer. They loved it.

We're back home now, and Jeff's back in school. The kids are . . . well tearing things apart. Me, I'm getting back into crafting.

Happy Mothers Day

I hope all the mothers have a wonderful day.

It's been great here so far. My babes (and husband) let me sleep in. Plus I get to sleep in for a whole week. How nice is that?

Lacking Patience

I'm afraid that I lack the patience to be a mom today. So if anyone wants my children (especially the girl child) feel free to come and get them. She's been crying practically nonstop since yesterday evening (well she's crying whenever she's awake.) Yesterday we put a band aide on her and it has been hysterics ever since. The actual scrape didn't bother her, but the band aide . . .

Finn is off to the doctor's today, so we'll get to see what he ways now that he is 14 months old. Hopefully he ways enough to face forward in his car seat. I'm doubting it, but I could be wrong.
We'll see.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go

We update our blog so infrequently, that I wonder if people even bother to check or read it anymore. So it brings up the question: Should we even bother keeping anymore?

Been Awhile

It's been awhile since I've last updated this blog and some things have changed in our lives. I've started selling Mary Kay. I have my own Mary Kay website and everything.

Jeff is still working on law school stuff, though this week was his spring break so we were able to have him home with us. The kids of course think this is great.

If you've seen the kids blog you know that Finn had his head shaved. It's growing back in now and is at that fun fuzzy stage.

Easter is coming up fast and I've yet to start planning for it. I was going to get Nadia her own digital camera, but we may have to opt out for a less expensive Easter. Unfortunatly, we will be here in Texas by ourselves. It was our first Easter living in the same town as grandparents so we thought the kiddos would get to play with Grandma and Grandpa, but they had other plans. They are off to Philadelphia to enjoy some time with Aunt Traci. So we'll be having a quiet little Easter here.

Going Crazy

Today is just one of those days. I think I'm going insane. Nadia has had a relapse in keeping her glasses on. I'm not even sure what happened to Finn. If I had known turning one would turn him into a little rebellious goose I would have hoped he day would never come. I've changed more dirty diapers today than two children should be able to produce. Nadia's tried to defy me in almost everything.

On the other hand it was somewhat productive and I was able to finish a project I was working on for a while. I ended up bringing my sewing machine into the living room so I could work with the kids in the same room. They both did remarkably well with it. However, now that we are near the end of the day hyperactivity is ensuing.

What's Happening Here

Jeff is back at law school. He has to stay later on some days than he did last semester, but other than that he's okay. We've been doing okay here as well. (With the exception of one day, but Grandma Becky came to the rescue so it worked out.)

As for me I'm living my life in crazy land. That is I'm crazy. (When I say this out loud Nadia says, "You not crazy. You mommy." Of course at other times she assures me that I am correct.) The reason I say this is that I love to plan projects. Only I always end up overplanning and have to many things to do at once. That's how it is this time. I have way to many things to complete by Valentine's Day. Some are Valentine related, most are not. (By the way, if you want to check out the results of some of my projects you can check out my new blog: Dabbling in Creativity.)

Finn's birthday is next Friday and I'm busy planning and getting things accomplished for his party on Saturday. Then I have Valentine projects as well as Jim Henson themed items that I am crafting for a lady. (My new blog will explain what this is all about.)

These are my definite plans. Then I have all the other things that I want to plan. Things I want to make. The list is endless. I just find too many fun things to do.

As for the kids: well there busy being kids. If you want some more details you'll have to check out their blog.

About our new background . . .

We like Nintendo. End of Story.

San Antonio

For Christmas, I gave Jeff a trip to San Antonio. We had never been there and everybody was always talking about how great it was so we thought we'd see what all the talk was about. The night before we left, we found out that we were arriving during the yearly cleaning of the Riverwalk. I was so upset thinking there would be no water. Luckily we arrived at the end of the cleaning when they were filling back up. So though no boat rides were available at this time there was at least water to look at. It was such a pretty place. Too bad I didn't think to take out my camera.

This is what I call a "Crazy Octopus Killer Plant." They were all over as Jeff and I took walks through the residental area we were staying in.

We stopped to have lunch while we were at the river walk and were entertained by the birds who would swoop down and steal sugar packets from the table. As you went along the walk you would find evidence of much thieving.

These pictures are of Jeff and I on our way home. We missed are babies and left fairly early on our last day to get home to them.
