what's up?

Time is slipping away from me as we enter into our "busy season" here at the house.

September...Shorty's 1st B-day party:

frogs, bogs, and all things green and slimy for our little Prince Charming! Hop on by!

October...the Dynamic Duo turn 3! What was that? Did I just drop a hint to the theme? Why yes, I did. Grab your cape & drop in!

October, continued...Halloween. Need I say more? The hubby got to pick the costumes for this year after I made him participate in the Wizard of Oz theme last year. Let's just say I'm doing some situps in preparation!

November...a baby shower for the sister-in-law! Yay! I am sooo excited to be an Aunt and can't wait to throw this party for mommy and baby. However, I am a bit bitter that they aren't finding out gender. Boo.

November, continued...the whole fam comes to our casa for Thanksgiving. So fun.

December...Christmas travels!

After that, we are off the hook for a while. But in the meantime, life is a bit chaotic.

A Brief Ode on the Wiggles

O Sam, Jeff, Anthony and Murray,
Of how you have saved my day
There is so much that I could say
If I weren't in such a hurry.

A baby's nap time screaming fit,
Tears, and wails, and stomping feet
Were there, my eyes and ears to meet
Until your songs put a stop to it.

A dog, an octopus, and a dino friend
Your silly songs and lively dance
Have joined together and by chance
My cranky baby's mood did mend.

yum & yum

I spent the morning at the park this morning with my friend Lauren who only lives about 45 minutes away, but for some reason we only see each other 2-3 times a year (and that's if we're really on the ball).

There were 5 little boys with us, all under 5 years old. And it was fun & not too stressful, really.

I was reminded that I needed to check out her new blog (yes, that's the same link as above...I just really like the blog). It's all about food. That's relatively easy & affordable. But is NOT meatloaf.

I am glad that I haven't gone shopping for the week yet, because I am most definitely adding a thing or two to the menu.
