Sunday Funday

I did get the sidewalk chalk for my little Munchkin, but I believe the Hubbs and I had more fun with it on this toasty Sunday Funday. 

A bird, turtle, chimp, horse, and a mouse. We were seeing who had more artistic abilities... turns out MY bird and mouse were not that great, but I am pretty proud of the chimpanzee.

The Hubbs' turtle is great, but the horse's "rider" looks like she got hit by a car. 

Who won? I call it a tie. As we both had one acceptable animal. 

The only excuse I can come up with as to why my bird and mouse are so atrocious looking, is that they were about four feet tall. The Horse was probably 6 feet tall!! 

Now the rain today will wash it all away, and give us a fresh slate to do it all over again tomorrow.

I Heart {online} Shopping

First of all, I love shopping. It is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, as I'm sure it is for most ladies. Last week for our anniversary, my Hubby recognized that I had not gone shopping for a while (when doing our budget) and decided to give me some money to go spend. So as soon as I got the opportunity, I did a little online shopping...... 

LOVE these shoes!!

Could really go for this fab watch.

Sold on a gorgeous necklace.

Every girl needs some good yoga pants, and comfortable shorts. But I'm pretty sure I can buy anything and everything VS PINK!!

If you don't have any TOMS, you should go out and get some ASAP!!

I've really been into clogs and flats lately.

Gorgeous dress.

Nice and casual dress. 

Over my {entire} budget, but this ring is totally worth it.

Wish I had some fancy event to wear this fancy dress to!

Well now that I've clearly gone way over budget... I think I'll stop, for today. 

Caribbean Love

What girl doesn't love Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom dressed up as pirates with makeup on? However, finding out that O. B. was going to be absent from this new Pirates of the Caribbean flick coming out tomorrow, was like a slight stab to the heart. But as I am going with my honey, made me cheer right up. I am also to some degree excited to see how Penelope Cruz does in this kind of a film.

Whenever I see one of these movies, it makes me desperately want to take a quick hop and jump to the Bahamas. Which is perhaps why I've been craving a beach vacay... Thankfully two of my besties live on the beach, now to pick whether I want to go to Florida or California...?

In conclusion, I'm super excited to have a date night to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4 On Stranger Tides in the IMAX, even if the tickets were $30.00.

Did I mention it is in 3D?

Walking Shoes

Yesterday as my Munchkin and I were playing outside, he said he wanted to go for a walk so we loaded up the stroller before even thinking about my attire, and started down the street.

Jean shorts, t-shirt, flip flops.

How many times do you see walkers/runners on the street, or even in the gym, working out in jean shorts and flip flops? My guess is close to never.

I seriously did not even think about this till we were about a mile away from the house, with only a sippy cup for the little one 1/2 full of luke warm water. I contemplated stopping the many golfers we past to ask for a drink. But we kept on going till we reached the office (2-1/2 miles from home). Got there just as the guys were all packing up for the day. Just in time for me to fill my Munchkin's cup with COLD water and a sip for myself. Then the hubs loaded the stroller in the back of his white truck and we headed home, in the comforts of air conditioning.

My Marvelous Munchkin

 

 

 

Meet my cool Munchkin. He loves Mommy's sunglasses, soda, snack time at Song and Story time, mowing like Daddy, wearing Mommy's shoes, and just playing outside in general. 

Since the blue cast came into our lives 8 days ago, we have not had too much trouble filling our time with activities. But I do admit it is difficult to have to carry him everywhere just when I was getting used to having him walk everywhere with me. At least he is crawling, but I am afraid he'll be getting some rug-burn on those sweet toes. 

4 weeks and 5 days to go. Let the count down begin.

Doctor yesterday said my precious Munchkin might have to do a little physical therapy after the cast comes off, as some young children have trouble walking right afterwards. I'm hoping we will not need to, but keeping my mind open to anything and everything I need to do for my darling son. Cannot wait for him to get his short cast on in 2 weeks and 5 days... Full of countdowns in our house!

Mommy Morning Bliss

After spending 98% of mornings with my Munchkin by my side since the moment he was born, what do I do when I have a morning to myself? However, I stayed home due to some "puzzles"... Nevertheless...

All that I can think about doing is cleaning, laundry, pulling weeds, working out, cleaning out my closet, making our weekly meal schedule, grocery shopping, work, etc... But I do not think it would be wise to start these projects with the possibility of not finishing them. 

So I am going to sit here on my chase, with movie on television, and my book in hand. And I will escape into Emily Giffin's world of fiction.

I almost forgot what it was like to actually be able to relax. Thank you Hubby!
