greatest hits

i am nesting, y'all.  and no, i am not pregnant.  thank goodness, because i am so stinking tired from watching three children today, two of which are mine.  for those of you that have more than two small children, i want to hug you, bless your heart, and then buy you a margarita. or three.

i am nesting because we are putting the finishing touches on our house (the fun part i have been looking forward to before we bought this formerly ugly mess of a house).

here's a peek at my week:

1) my oldest and dearest, sarah, came in from portland so that we could buy her things and rub her belly (of which contains a sexless, nameless baby.  hmph.)  robin hosted this small get-together in her beautiful home.  seriously, straight out of a magazine, y'all.  can you tell she plans events for a living?

 {the favors were bags of cookies made from sarah's grandma's recipe, with the recipe printed on the label.  adorable.}
 {and since sarah is a proper southern lady unable to get blue bell ice cream in her new home state, robin fashioned a blue bell ice cream bar in her honor.}
 2) we celebrated the second anniversary of my uncle's 39th birthday at our beloved matt's (in garland.  womp. womp.  it'll be back in east dallas soon.  fingers crossed).
 3) i hosted a girls only swim party at my house but i have no pictures because i am lame.  and because i was floating in a pool drinking cold beers.

4) remember when i told you my baby was into everything?  that includes his nose.  at the dinner table.
5) i unpacked my books and color-coded them.  oh-yes-i-did.
 we hung my beautiful mirror.  and by we, i mean chris.
 we finished details in crosby's room.

 and in ben's.

 6) miraculously, the two babies napped simultaneously this afternoon.  therefore ben and i crafted.  we may not have left the house all day but we crafted, damnit.
 7) our painting arrived in the mail.  omg, omg, omg.  more on this painting in a post to come.  stay tuned.
looking forward to: running three miles in the morning getting stuff done this weekend.

how was your week?
what are you looking forward to?

until next time,
xoxoxo

  1. Hahaha!
    1) Relevant random encounter: SO the other day, baby and I were at the grocery store and a slightly harried looking mom passing us with her kid in cart turns and sees the baby - her eyes light up and she gives her a sweet smile as she says "STAY LITTLE, little one! STAY LITTLE!". The woman laughs then turns to me with a smile after eying her toddler screaming a laugh at the top of his lungs sitting in her cart and says "I'm on #3 - keep her little, they're so much easier then!"

    2) I LOVE your house! You have such a way with the finishing touches (and MAN, those picture walls - you are GOOD)! I want to come seeeeeee and to be the weird auntie that shows up and smothers your babies in hugs and kisses out of nowhere! I can not believe I still haven't met Crosby, makes my heart hurt!

    love you, bonneroos!
