Life in Color — a scrappy Log Cabin quilt block pieced in pink and green prints.
  • When cuteness attacks you stumble upon things like a stuffed puppy on your shipping cart. So cute.

    That’s right I have the little munchkins with me, that’s why I’ve been a little lax in updating. Not only do they keep me busy but their parents have a Dell and I’m a total Mac snob (three weeks till the iPhone, whoo hoo).

    Karsen is such a chatterbox now. And the things she says are way super adorable times ten. Remember that big picture of Bj and I at the wedding? Well she was looking at it and goes, "ohhh you the princess, you cinderally. Who the prince?" I said, the prince is my husband. "ohhhhh." The next time we came over after dropping off big brother at school she walks into my house and starts calling out, "prince, prince, where are you?" Until she found Bj working downstairs. And then Bj asked her who I was (wanting to see if she knew my name) and she looked at him, then me, and said, "your princess?" So right darling. Melts my heart.

    And look at the cute little stud Hogan! We went on a little walk on Sunday while it was still nice (it’s rain city here now). He was brave enough to be hoisted up into the big tree outside my brother’s for pictures, which somehow didn’t load in my post so I’ll put those as the picture of the day when I get home. The cute thing he said? Well it wasn’t so cute as gross. Bj had just turned off the water to work on a pipe and I hear him calling to me from the bathroom. "Amber, Amber." I go over to the door. "Can you help me I had diarrhea and I couldn’t get it all." Ew. And we couldn’t flush it right away, great. But he has seriously been great. He stayed up with me tonight to play playdoh. His sister had to go down early.

    I wore her out this morning by letting her monkey around on my bed, but then her daycare never put her down for a nap so she took a major dive later in the evening. You know one of those I-think-I’ll-cry-about-nothing-while-I-laugh-at-something-else rants. Really funny, but I knew she needed sleep.

  • Last night I spear-headed a date night between Bj and I. After work I had Bj head over to visit with grandpa while Brent came over to help me with a little surprise. When Bj got home I had dinner all made and I said we were going to eat out back. I opened the back door to reveal:

    and a note about the evening:

    Which I had a ton of fun making. I really need to get my scrapbooking mojo on people. I digress. So we spent the evening eating sandwiches and chips, playing games (which involved a vetrans, veterans scrabble debate so hilarious that I got a major case of the hiccups) and baked cookies.

    Which was, of course, the perfect excuse for a fabulous thrifted apron:

    All in all a great night, and so cool sleeping in the tent. I’m going to leave it up for a day because I have Karsen and Hogan part of next week and they’ll flip out when they see it set up.

  • Okay so I drove all the way to Stayton (a half hour away) for a block sale that was almost a bust, until I found this fifty cent gem.

    Yes, this is the only thing I got today but check it, how often do you find a Bob Ross T-Shirt that will fit your crazy tee-shirt loving husband complete with the phrase "happy trees." In my experience, close to never.
