The one with Green day!

Today is Green day at preschool

and these two little beauties

looked too cute not to 

photograph.

don't ya think?

"mom, who's bigger? me or penny?"

all dressed up and somewhere 

to go!!!

have a fun day girlies!!!

i'm off for some alone time.

jealous?

The one with the Jenny Craig commercial.

this is not the best way to start of  your morn'n.

Mom: "Eliza, are you done with your breakfast?"

Eliza: "yes, just throw it away.....or you can eat it."

ouch.

but in hindsight, does my gal know me or what.

i didn't eat it by the way. ok, one bite.

The one with a thought for sunday.

"What good are we to our children

if we are miserable?"

oprah winfrey.

ok, normally i don't like to quote oprah, to

show my alliegence to sherri dew.

anywho this stuck with me the other day

and i liked it and it has been the

mantra in my brain over the 

last few days.

the word miserable might be a little strong,

but sometimes i can be a whiner.

take it for what its worth.

The one with Mr. J. Appleseed.

I love how we celebrate certain people in this country.....

for example,

Mr. John Chapman aka Johnny Appleseed!!

Do you all know what this dude did? he planted apple trees

all over the united states, and for that we dedicated this day to him.

In doing that, Josh and I put on a shin-dig at Eliza's school.

Josh read the life story of Johnny,

We ate apples with carmel dip(or apparently licked dip),

We painted trees and apples using our very own arms and fingers,

and a little of our painting smocks got color too!

All in all a roaring success with the 4 year olds!

until next year Johnny......

(on a quick side note i have really ugly feet and was aware of it all day)

unfortunately it doesn't stop my love for the flip flop.

more importantly a HUGE shout out to my sis Shelice

for sending me this awesome craft apron! Does she know me or what!

I simply adore it, and cannot wait to officially craft in it!!

It's knd of hard to tell where it begins and ends but trust

me it is divine, and i love a good polka dot anything!!!

Love ya Sheece, you're the best!!!

The one where they whistled while they worked.

 oh ya, this happened.....


and i don't feel one smelly bit bad about it.

(i wonder what it would be like to clean my house in my swimsuit? hmmm.)

Cloris,

Susan,

Misty,

its over ladies, you gave it your best,

but unfortunately it just wasn't good enough.

(and when i watched you it made me want to wrap up

in a little ball and suck my thumb, and push mute, and

hide under the blanket,  and

gong the gong.)

with much love and respect,

emily

The one where I have a serious problem.....

ok, so here it goes....

there is a lot going on in the world right now.

natural disasters, upcoming elections, etc. etc.

now on to my problem, it hits a little more close to home.

the fall tv line up.

 it is starting this week and i am like a kid in the candy store,

giddy you could say.

the guilt i am feeling is enormous.

 i mean should one feel this way about television?

but this still is not the problem at hand...here goes.

i have DVR recording conflicts. major conflicts.

because i never watch tv in real time

(hello, i wouldn't want to neglect my children)

so what to do, what to give up? 

monday is a disaster because dancing with the stars is 2 hours.

that laps 2 shows that i am not willing to admit that i watch right now.(maybe another post)

and thursday....don't even get me started. ok do.

2 hour survivor? Greys, and the Office all at 8.

I am not willing to give any up. i mean, get real, 

i've survived a writers strike,

a long summer of semi lame tv, big brother? seriously?(ok, maybe a couple of times.)

i can't miss a minute.

what's a tv lov'n girl to do?

oh all bettter, 

my friend just invited me to watch "dancing" at her house and

ethan has informed me that he is recording survivor  

down stairs. whew. close one.

please don't think less of me, blogs are all about being honest, right?

The one with so many pics, so little time....

enjoy. we did.

these are not in order because my computer is lame.

ok i'm lame.














and yes mom, those are new dolls....we'll discuss it later. i have problems.

The one where we made it!

Home again, home again jiggity jig.

and thats pretty much it for now because i'm up to

my nose in laundry and soccer.

but i will say that i think i actually heard my house sigh

when we walked in last night and i'm pretty sure my bed gave

me a hug.

pics to follow.

Never Forget.

The one with the.......what the?

So I had to pick Sam up from soccer tonight and I 

was coming home from bountiful and I needed to kill 40 minutes!

The girls were hungry so we headed to Arbys.

Eliza decided she didn't want to eat, and I wasn't hungry 

so I ordered Emmas food and we sat down.

Well of course after a minute Eliza and I were think'n Arby's.

I went up and ordered a regular roast beef and I asked the guy behind the counter

for a plastic knife because we were going to share.

(hold on this gets better)

He looks around, james bond style only not cute...and missing a couple of teeth, its reality folks, this is how it went down and I have to be accurate....anywho....

he grabs the knife and says,

"Is my parole officer here, did he set this up? I'm not supposed to hold knives."

Then he smiled his toothless smile at me and threw me the knife.

 

Was this a joke? I'm not quite sure?

One thing I am sure of....next time we'll do the drive thru!

The one with my other blog!

Check me out! 

I'm going PRO!

ok, not so much pro, maybe semi pro!

The one with the box.

Is there honestly anything better than making a house out of a box?

I didn't think so.

The one with Eliza May's first of Days!!!!

*quick disclaimer* josh took these, I was at a birth.
*I can just hear him,"put your hands in front of you like this!"*

oh how I love that man of mine! 

At least he remembered the camera!*

It's official, we have begun our last year of pre-school!Ever!

(keep laughing....i'm done!)

Eliza was so excited to go to school where Sam also went!

It's the Little Brick School House and it is FaBuLoUs!

Sam really loved it and I know Eliza will too!

The one where Rachel has a baby!

Today my friend Rachel had a baby boy and 

she asked me to be there to photograph the moments after birth.

It was a really neat experience to be on the other side of it all.

I would be lying if I said a few tears weren't shed. 

It is such a spiritual experience and to be a part of it all was an honor.

Congrats Rach and Brent!

Welcome to earth baby Max!

The one where......

i miss sam today.

The one with Labor day and a Birthday.

It's labor day today so we....labored!
Josh Painted the living room....and became my hero, again..
I pulled out tired old flowers and weeds...
and tried to make it look pretty and not parched....
and completed the laundry! Pretty good eh? I thought so.

What did you do today? 

Oh I almost forgot...Oliver(theK9)turned 1!
