Shhh...you don't see me!

Okay, it's been established in the past, but I will admit it once again: I suck at blog updates, correspondence, and contact with the outside world in general.

That said, I'm here now so enjoy it while it lasts.

What's new here? The Princess (currently giving her daddy a stern talking-to over matters of couch real estate)
is 1 now and walks all over the place. Also, she climbs like a freaking monkey on speed. Sigh. We've only had one trip to the ER though, so we're doing good I think.

As a side note, should you have to take a one year old to the ER at 2am with a giant blue lump in the middle of her forehead (wearing pajamas which have a questionable date of previous washing), be prepared for angry stares and questions in accusatory tones. Double sigh.

We have 3 days of 1st grade left. Hooray for summer vacation! Mostly, mom just doesn't wanna get out of bed at 7am anymore.

I've officially been married to my own personal PITA for 3 years now. It's nice and I wouldn't trade him, but it's still weird sometimes that it's HIM. Guess you'd have to know the history to understand. He gave me a very pretty ring (that I picked out) and he got some sort of geeky gadgetry (that he sorta picked out but was still totally surprised by) that makes my head hurt to try and look at.

My basement now smells like teenage girl. Ugh. Junior is living down there (or rather, her stuff is since she's seldom seen) this summer while home from college.

Morgan graduated from Purdue 2 weeks ago, is engaged, and is moving to Atlanta by the end of June. If the poor girl doesn't have a breakdown by the end of the year I'll be surprised.

I just realized the links to my "Who people are" post is gone, so no one has a clue who I'm talking about...guess I'll have to fix that.

I've been taking lots of photos lately...even considered a photography class. A friend of mine (as well as several of the baseball moms) think I should be attempting to market my photo skills. I don't think I'm quite ready for that, but maybe someday.

Alright, I'm boring me... out for now. And of course, a recent photo to tide you all over till I decide to come back again. From a recent trip to the park:

Sweets...

So as I'm perusing the aisles in my monthly grocery shopping trip (yes, I only go once a month because I find shopping for anything hideously tedious) I notice something new in my local Wallyworld.



For those that are (blissfully) unaware of what this is, it is called Pocky. I'm not terribly fond of it, but thanks to an old friend of ours (and you know who you are!), my husband adores it.


And now they sell it at Walmart. Sigh...

1st attempt at Spring photos...

I'm attempting to get some nice photos of my kids in their coordinating Spring outfits (yes, sadly I've become THAT mom). Unfortunately until today Munchkin looked like a werewolf, so I've only started on the baby's pics. Here's one I took yesterday.

Before we headed out to purchase additional light sources cause our house is lit like a cave.

Blizzard!!

Blizzards may not be terribly fun for most people, but my kids seem to enjoy it!
