20 Questions







I have come across this on many blogs and decided to do my own.
Yes I'm aware it has been months upon months since I have blogged. Maybe I'll update you on the happenings of life soon. But for now, 20 questions is what I can manage.

1. What brings you the greatest joy? My family.
2. What are your vices? Chocolate pudding and Oreos.
3. What is on your nightstand? A lamp. The video monitor to spy on the kiddos. A bunch of junk.
4. Do you have a secret talent? I can pick up things with my toes....
5. What is your greatest indulgence? Cameras and handbags.
6. What should every woman try at least once in her life? I have no idea. Honestly. Just try to step out if your comfort zone at least once.
7. What makes you laugh? My kids. Every day. And my husband. 
8. What is the one thing people would be surprised to know about you? I don't really have any secrets... I guess some people would be shocked that we now have 2 kids....
9. What is on your bucket list? Warrior Dash. (May 31st!!! Woo!!!)
10. What is on your feet right now? Shiny Red slippers
11. How did you make your first dollar? Doing chores I guess.
12. What superstition do you believe in? I always knock on wood. 
13. What items in your closet do you wear the most? T-shirts and yoga pants.
14. What is the best gift you've ever received? My kids.
15. What is on your liquor shelf? I don't have a liquor shelf.
16. What is on your kitchen counter? The clean dishes.
17. What would you never leave home without? My wallet. And my phone.
18. What movie has the greatest ending? Shawshank. 
19. Who is on your guest list for your ideal dinner party? Kevin Spacey, Clive Owen, Kevin Bacon, Helen Mirren, and all the guys from Impractical Jokers who arrive fashionably late.
20. What is the one thing you wish you had known when you were younger? Not to stress so much (I still need that reminder occasionally)


Do your own, I'd love to read your answers!

Little Boy

Dear Little Boy,
You're still my baby and will always be, but soon it won't be only you, daddy and me. Soon you'll be a big brother. I hope you continue to be the cool little dude you are right now.
You're so smart. You surprise me every day. You know all of your body parts and all of the noises that animals make. You can get your point across fairly well.
You love candy. Probably more than anything else. Except ketchup. You LOVE ketchup. Even if we tell you it's ketchup but it's really syrup for your waffle. You've been eating your waffles with grated cheese too, which kind of makes me cringe, but it just makes you unique.
I can take you anywhere with me. You love going places. You love to give kisses and hugs. You're so polite. Always saying thank you and trying to remember please.
You can do your shapes block like a champ and can even recognize the shapes we ask you for. Especially circle and star.
I hope you'll teach your brother all the cool things you know. Like how to pretend to be a ghost and walk with a blanket draped over him to scare us. And to not pee on me when I change his diaper.
I hope you guys are on the same sleep schedule when you get older. You're my little early bird which helps since we usually wake up around the same time.
You're my Buddy. My first baby boy. You've changed my life more than you could ever imagine. I love you so very much.
Love, Mumma

A color run

On Sunday, my sister and I did a color run. Splashofcolor5k.com if you want to look it up. It was the best time. I was nervous we were going to be last (me being 5 months pregnant and all) but we weren't and it really wouldn't have mattered much anyway. It was so much fun. I would really like to do it again next year!!
I'm posting via my phone, so sorry if the format is all screwed up! Hopefully the pics are below!!

In Luke news, I was laying on the floor trying to see of Eric could feel the baby kicking (he was super active tonight) and Luke came over, put his head on my tummy and said "baby". It was pretty adorable.

And sometimes if you ask him what animals say (ie. What does a dog say? He'll answer "woof") if you slip in a "what does mumma say?" He'll reply with "no, no, no, no, no."
Apparently I tell him no a lot. Ah kids! Too funny.

That's all I've got for tonight. Going to work on some etsy orders, a baby blanket for a friend then try to sleep.... which has not been coming easily lately...

Have a great night everyone!!!

P.s. check out the sweet blue unibrow on that sister of mine!
