random things

well, six of them.

I have been tagged by my friend way up north to write six random bits of information about me. S is so fun, thoughtful and a great person to talk to. i really miss the times we spent together- and it being so easy!

So here ya go - six completely random bits of info on me.

1. i love dark chocolate. it's even better on marshmallows. yum. and still delicious on homemade marshmallows (they aren't hard to make- really)

2. i'm big on reading, and it is one of the few things i can do and have #1 kid not be as desperate for attention from me. it is strange, but he *gets* that i'm there, but not really for entertainment. when i'm on the computer- that is a whole 'nother story.

3. i love to bake and cook new recipes. i'm horrible at following it perfectly and i find that i tend to skip steps or guess what the directions are. i have messed up a lot of things, and made a lot of delicious meals. i enjoy these cooking adventures pretty much anytime we have people over for dinner. my thought is that if it is a bust- then there's always pizza down the street.

4. shoes are the best things to look at the mall, store, whatever. i actually don't own a lot of shoes- but i really like them for some reason. when i was little, i would check out the shoe section right away and the toys would be put on hold.

5. i like running, playing lacrosse being outside and having fun with people doing these things. though sometimes i like to run by myself. i am definitely over pushing the two kids in the stroller. #2 is chunker and #1 is growing by leaps and bounds!

6. i think that i'm starting to like the idea of having more that two babies. we'll see what happens, as it is still early (in my opinion) to tell, but i'll keep you updated on what i think about that. yeah. definitely. babies are so fun. how many do you think we should have?

gm. what were you thinking? no one likes to wear name tags. let alone ones that cover half of your chest.

my day

have you ever had one of those days where it seems like it is going really slow but you also don't know how time is going so fast? that is me, today.

here's my time line:

- woke up around 8:00 b/c my great husband let me sleep in!
- fed kid #2 and started cleaning out the computer
- beginning to wonder how cleaning up my computer and backing up everything is taking *SO* long
- 8:30 a.m. getting a little worried about kid #1. quietly check on him. sleeping on belly. say a prayer (sleeping in for this kid is 8)
- shower
- 9 a.m. check on kid #1- asleep and has moved, but still on belly (i'm a belly sleeper, so i'm not that worried- but you know, safety first)
- get some more work done
- call husband at 9:50 to talk to him about the kid still sleeping
- 10:30 kid #1 wakes up. eats breakfast.
- kid #2 is taking nap.
- get back to work
- 12:30 kid #2 wakes up- i feed him
- 1p.m. go to doctor super quick for prescription
- 1:30 walk to library to pick up two books on hold… #1 is basically bounding to the library and i can barely keep up. #2 starts dripping down his leg with urine. his leg touches mine. awesome. and i touched it. even better :) no biggie- moms are used to that- right? we walk back home (library is 2 blocks away which ROCKS).
- 2:15 kid #1 eats lunch and totally devours it (success!)
- brings us to now. 3pm.
- 5pm going to eye doc to get fitted for contacts. well- they call it a class to learn how to shove something between your eyelid and eyeball. hope i pass!

put a smile on your face

well, here is some more deliciousness from the garden. i've already started eating the cucumber, and it is delicious.

i shopped at the farmer's market today and bought some kettle corn. amazingly yum. i think i might eat a whole bag today. i just might. i also purchased some peaches and apples. we'll see how those taste. next time i'll have to buy some veggies.

do you shop at your local market? i hope to go picking for several things in the fall. apples and what-not. we'll see how it works. i think #1 might enjoy it, but probably more next year. i'm looking forward to going with my small group at church (pittards- you better be game!) and taking the kids to pick and eat AMAZING donuts and drink some yum cider.

harvesting

the garden is being harvested these days. we tackled the lettuce and ripped it all out last week b/c it was looking very tree-ish. now we seem to have cucumbers and tomatoes. i think that the tomatoes are super close, and we've eaten about 4 cucumbers. look at the little man realizing that these things are heavier than they look. precious babe.
:)



tomato shot soon, i think!

(what happened to our peppers, i wonder? NONE of those plants have grown yet)
