so last week...

my cute new house... not sure i would have chosen the color, but i love it regardless!!! (random small world connection... the girl who babysits for us here, her dad is super high up in the company that will rent us our house! crazy...it's based out of cleveland... how random!)

on the "boat" at pop-pop's ho-towel...

of course, jamey had to try!

talking to daddy! we love and miss him!!

a new find last week at a garage sale. nora is very concerned about how we will get it to hawaii....

he likes to sit on it, but not ride...

so many choices.

"making" me a shake...

her "tattoos". not sure how she even KNOWS that word!!! scary...

still loves boxes!

i wanted to find a pic of me here when i was young. we used to LOVE playing on these rocks. the second i took this pic, the sky OPENED up and poured on us...

so, my dad heard that if you put out dry oatmeal when you see ants, they will take it back to the queen and she will explode. we've been seeing less ants... not sure if it's related to the oatmeal. well, nora saw my mom sprinkle the oatmeal for the ants the other day, and loves doing it now.

today, she saw ants, and asked if she could feed them the oatmeal. this is her calling to the ants, "oh ants, come eat your dinner. i have food for you." sweet girl thought she was helping them, not trying to kill them. i didn't really have the heart to tell her.

jamey stayed in his jammies all day. there's no harm in that, right? we did go out for a walk. i also broke down and bought two new pacis. i know, he's rid of them in 5 weeks, but we were down to one. and it was old. and i wanted to have a spare.

also, went to an AWESOME sale tonight. the only shame was that most stuff wouldn't fit on the airplane with me. it was by homegirl. she is awesome. i LOVED, LOVED, LOVED her stuff. i wish i could have bought it last year and shipped it to hawaii. but, i only bought an old mirror (or something similar) painted with chalkboard paint. it's oval and the prettiest detail on the border. i'll take a pic. it should fit in a suitcase... also, i got a lot of inspiration for new sewing projects!

and off to chicago in the morning. an impromptu roadtrip to take wedding gifts to a sister and bring back couches for a brother. saves two trips later in the summer. and, i get to go to chicago. without kids.
