weekend wrap-up

Luckily Daddy arrived Friday before bed and fun was had by all. I'm not sure who missed him more, myself or Savanna. She mentioned it more often, but I had to sleep with lights on all over the house AND take out the garbage--eeeewwwweee!
Saturday morning Daddy was greeted by a bright and bubbling girl ready for fun. I on the other hand was forgotten and slept in--not that I complained. We were lazy and just hung out together watching cartoons. The it was PARTY TIME!!

--but first...a little "party hair" CUTE!!

There was musical chairs, pizza, cake, and a clown.

Thanks to "Arturo" the clown, kids were crying and hiding.

That is, until the balloons were unveiled. . .

{check out that "op-i-tus"}

{did i mention there was a pirate there too? grrrr!}

Savanna was ubber-excited to receive her "puppy" and mommy was excited that she wasn't crying anymore :) Thanks Enya for turning 4!

artistic achievement

I just had to grab the camera when Savanna looked up at me and said innocently "Uht Oh." Apparently coloring on the paper just wasn't as coloring on herself. *note: after intense scrubbing and TWO baths it was still visible for church. Such a nice touch with her Sunday best, no?

chop chop, snip snip

I LOVE my spunky new cut!

{I finally gave in, again. I'm just a short-hair type a gal}

*bad picture...long day!

happy list

• My happy list begins with USA PRIDE! I love, love, love the Olympics. We've caught the "Olympic fever" around our house. Savanna's even gotten in on the action. Although video of her gymnastic debut is not available, it's a gold medal performance every time. I am a little relieved that swimming {a.k.a Michael Phelps} is over. I was becoming quite the couch potato and I was slacking in every aspect of reality...mothering excluded--I fed, diapered, and entertained {or changed the dvd}. My lack of sleep has begun to takes it's toll and my schedule needs some tampering, but PHELPS is not human!

• Little Miss Mischievous. There is rarely a dull moment. She decided to take bath time into her own hands after a rainstorm and I caught her in the act.
  

• Overhearing my hubby's running commentary about having a "fun and rewarding experience" while constructing our outdoor gazebo. {the instructions actually said that about the process...hilarious!}

• Stepping back after a day of projects and seeing all the hard work pay off. New table, new rug, and new paint color. I am sooo happy how it turned out!
  

facebook

If I'm MIA more than usual {which would be really bad} it's all KP's fault. She's gotten me addicted to facebook.com. I love snooping into past boyfriends and classmates lives. It just seems so scandalous that it's hard to resist. I've found friends I haven't talked to in YEARS! It's great!! It's like the fountain of youth via Internet access :) Who knows maybe I'll even make some new "friends".
