gotta love those search engines

Is it just me or do you also find it funny that someone searched for "pooping on jeans video" and found my blog?

this one goes out, with love, to my dearest husband

Let's head down to the shore
There's so much to explore
When you find yourself beside the SEA
So come out of your shell
Down where the fishies dwell
There is no friend like an anemone

BE-SIDE the SEA-SIDE
There's lots of fun in store for you
BE-SIDE the SEA-SIDE
Let's build a castle, maybe two
BE-SIDE the SEA-SIDE

And don't you really wish
We'll find a nice starfish
Or some seashells from the ocean DEEP
Be careful trust me 'mon
Don't bug a crustecean
Crabs are crabby when they've had no sleep

BE-SIDE the SEA-SIDE
There's lots of fun in store for you
BE-SIDE the SEA-SIDE
Let's build a castle, maybe two
BE-SIDE the SEA-SIDE

BE-SIDE the SEA-SIDE
Now you try it!
BE-SIDE the SEA-SIDE

Don't you wish you were here at home with us, Booger?!
Thanks for coming home to see us during lunch. We love you and miss you!

list of the week

Things that are making me angry this week:

• Julianna got a gigantic infected splinter in her heel. We basically had to pin her down on the bed and dig it out. It took two of us and she still screamed for at least ten minutes. It was heartbreaking to have her crying so hard and screaming for her lamb and even then nothing would console her. We did finally get it out, but not until after she’d shed a bucket of tears right before bedtime.


• The extra-large and sore zit that I’m getting on my chin.


• The fact that there’s NOTHING ON TV!


• People who keep emailing me asking for things.


• My muffin top that won’t go away (despite all of the cupcakes I’ve been eating).

Things that are making me happy this week:

• We have a babysitter and tickets to go see HP and the OotP on Wednesday night.


• I’m finally getting to go to the beach next week. I’m so excited! I’ll probably start packing this week because I am SO READY to get to the beach and feel that ocean breeze, read a good book on the balcony during naptime, and take the little girl in the water!


• Some of our friends are here from Florida. Yay! I love visits from friends! We're having lunch tomorrow and catching up. Fun!


• We’re saving for a new camera. We have no money, but still this excites me.


• My new sling.


• Blueberries are in! My aunt said to come pick some at her house and our playgroup is trying to arrange a day to go to a local blueberry farm together. YUM!

a note from jules

Dear Nanna and Pap,
My Daddy tells me this is where you're going to live. Is that true? If so, then I like it. I especially like the trucks and the bulldozers that are nearby. And the flowers and the water. Can I come visit you lots when you come to live here? It looks like so much fun!

Love,
Julianna

she loves things that make noise

she may make it into the next iCommercial

She stood on her toes to get my iPod off of the counter. I had pushed it way back on the counter so she couldn't pull it off (or so I thought). When I came in the kitchen, this is how I found her.

Small Change Update and Monthly Challenge

Well, I've failed to mention my successful completion of last month's Small Change Challenge for a very good reason. It was an easy challenge this past month. The only problem is that I didn't take the time to do it. Which would be why I've failed to mention it. But wait!

This morning we had a playdate at the park and Jules and I stayed and tried to redeem ourselves. We picked up three or four pieces of trash, but for the most part the park was relatively clean. I'll put it on my agenda to tidy up the next playground we visit. And this time I promise I'll really do it.
