P65 Perfection from EBay

I finally got it: my Ergo baby carrier! No, I did not pay the $120 retail price, and no, it isn't brand new, but I don't care. It can carry my Ro and my Lo, holds up to 60 pounds, and my little ones have taken to it quite well. Here's daddy and Lo getting some use out of this piece of perfection.

P64 The Gang's All Here

Jessica came back to town for the weekend, so the gang gathered for some margaritas, food and chat. Thank the Lord I finally had a chance to get away, because this was a fun evening. Love you girls.

P63 The Pick-Up Artist

Poor guy. Our agreement was if we got a dog, hubby would be the Poo Picker-Upper. Although a long period of time passes between pick-ups every now and then, he has been a man of his word. Picking up doggy poo after the snow has melted is a particularly nasty job. He does it with a smile.

P62 Go, Meat!

With a fork in hand, Roman is ready to chow.

P61 Let the Sun Shine In

The sun has been shining yesterday and today, and I like it! I couldn't resist taking this picture. London was sitting at our kitchen counter, and the setting sun was coming through the blinds of our dining room, hitting her face just right. Ahhh, that sweet face.

P60 You Fancy, Huh?

Adela was rocking out the Dr. Seuss hat that she made with her son during our Mom's Club Dr. Seuss party. I think red is definitely her color.

P59 Baby Wearing = Sanity

Although pink isn't Roman's color, this wrap sure has come in handy with both babies. Call me crazy, but I like to prepare dinner without having a screaming baby around. Baby carrying solves that problem, pronto.

P58 Rear Neck Choke

At least, that's what my hubby says this is called. London is loving up her brother by putting him in some sort of UFC maneuver. The fear of this girl's strength is written all over his little face.

P57 This Dang Bucket!

This is not the first bucket I made for London. She needed one for preschool, and I decided to put my creative tendencies to use. I spray painted it with a bright red (the paint was "supposed" to be plastic-friendly). Uh, I don't think so. Flaked, chipped, nasty - the night before she needed it, of course. I decided I am not going to paint a bucket again, so I whipped out some left-over yarn. This is the result.

P56 Dr. Seuss Party at Target

Fun! Half of our Mom's Club met up at Tar-Jay for their annual Dr. Seuss Party. The kiddos get a goodie bag and get to listen to the employees read Dr. Seuss books. Poor girl doesn't even know her smiley mug is now on my blog.

P55 Rain, Rain, Go Away . . .

NOT! We love it when it rains. It was quite warm out today, so London and I threw our coats on and decided to go for a walk outside in the rain, jumping in puddles as we went. We went out through the garage, and I thought I'd take a quick pick of her before she ventured out.

P54 Sick Day

What better thing to do when you feel sick then to be pampered? London had been feeling Blah, so I brought out the hot rollers (first time in like, 5 years). Her hair was crazy after we whipped these things out. Whoa.

P53 The Ever-Revolving Drapes

I think we've finally found a place for these drapes. They've been in the living room and all around. Now, they have settled in to our den and I quite like them. By the way, this was Jeremy's idea. Good job, kid.

P52 Daddy's Little Sweetheart

Woosh. . .Can you hear that? It's my heart melting.

P51 Pull Up Your Drawers!

Try to picture this: sunny, warm afternoon. Adela, her son Emilio and my kiddos going for a nice walk. Then London drops Trou. What in the world?! This is not the time to be mooning people, my sweet. But, you sure do have your daddy's cute booty.

P50 There's a Flag in My Bush

The wind was awful today! Not just a breeze, but a "blow the flag out of the flagpole" type of wind. Thank goodness I didn't have any place I had to be today. Don't let the sun fool you; it was nasty. And by the way, I don't like flags in my bushes.

P49 This Girl Has Some Guts

And pretty guts, at that. Tina was off to Philly for a special photo shoot this morning. Beforehand, she came over, coffee and danishes in tow, for me to do her makeup. We had a great time, and we giggled like little school girls at all the excitement. Super fun, this girl is.

P48 New Art Idea

As I browse through creative blogs (it's my new "drug of choice", quite addicting I must admit), I get so inspired to create. I had purchased these frames a while back and they had been hanging in the den all empty and alone, for about a month. I thought, why not symbolize the family in some sort of way? So I used the birth years of us four and drew them on paper and mounted them in these frames. These two are for London and Jeremy.

P47 Makeup and Friends = Fun

The girls came over for some makeover fun. Tina hired me to do her makeup for an awesome photo shoot she had coming up, so I invited Char and Adela as well. We had so much fun drinking wine, doing each other's makeup and just being "girls". Giddy, giddy.

P46 Ladies' Man

"Whatcha doing, ladies? Wanna come over and play? Read me a book? Cuddle on the Boppy? Have your people contact my people and we'll get a playdate going."
