I love Polyvore, so check out their new widget. News as far as me goes, I've been jogging, which is very painful. Ephraim is in swimming lessons and doing awesome. Jasher still doesn't speak English and Math is starting to eat baby foods. And life sucks. But I try to keep busy.

Hey Sean,

Your weird kids. Both of them asked for fruit snacks for breakfast. Ephraim said, "I think fruit snacks is food." Then he said he wanted a hot dog for breakfast. So I put a couple of hot dogs on the stove. Then Jasher started crying because he wanted one. He kept grabbing the bag and whining for one. So I gave him one cold. Then Ephraim said he wanted one cold. Whine whine whine. I said no and gave him a cooked one. Then Jasher decided he'd had enough of his cold one and put the half eaten dog in the pan on the stove and went to go try to steal Ephraim's. I was like, "Jasher you already had one." But Ephraim said, "I think he's mad because he wants my hot dog, can I give it to him?" I thought that was very nice of Ephraim. So he gave Jasher his hot dog and Jasher took it to put in the pan just like he did with his own. Turns out he didn't want to eat it, he just wanted to cook it. Your children are goof balls. Now they are whining for milk and water. Better go refill the water container.

Our garden is surviving, though its had a few hits. We ended up with a ton of tomatoes and it seemed the only thing left to do with them was to can. Canning tomatoes is kind of fun but messy, since tomatoes squirt. They turned out looking nice. Canning recipe from Well Preserved, which you can see in the background there.

I think we can all agree that chalkboard paint is the coolest. There are so many projects you can do with it. I guess this one is more artistic than useful. It took some work to keep the kids from destroying it before it was finished. » Read More

Gorgeous birthday gift for me, Essentials of Baking. I love cookbooks with pictures! Mmmm make my mouth water. I haven't made any of the recipes myself yet, however, I have tasted some of them and they are quite good. Maybe I will actually learn to cook now.

I don't have baby girls, but I have nieces. These onesies are the gift I gave my baby sis at her shower. The shower, by the way, was totally fun. Thanks to everyone who help me put it on, and to everyone that came! I have often lamented that I can't buy girly dresses, yet here I had a opportunity to and didn't. I thought personalizing onesies would be much more thoughtful and unique than picking a random dress from the usual places. Or maybe I was too lazy to drag myself and my kids to the store, haha. Oh, life.

My little sister and my mom made my wedding invitations for me. I never forgot that. I'm sure my sis didn't either, now she's getting revenge. She sent me a list of invitees that had 80+ names for her baby shower. !!!! Apparently we're going to have quite a party.


I've never planned a shower before, and I'm glad to have help from others (for better or worse). We're getting ready to have one pretty party for one pretty baby girl.

Yo Gabba Gabba. The show kind of scares me. But the music is good. It was raining earlier. We put on the CD and danced. Like really danced. No distracting video, just dancing to the beat. This is good work out for mommy and make babies tired :)

Boys and Band-aids go hand in hand. With all the playing and bouncing around, I've had a lot of injuries to kiss better just in the last 24 hours. Sometimes when my kids fall and start to cry I just roll my eyes instead of being the concerned mom. I'm so bad. But you can't always take the site of blood too seriously. Hope they get better soon.
