“this crab has a blankie.”
we opened these finger puppets…
sean built these himself.
also there was a little topless art going on. when i walked in the kitchen this morning
annie was in the best mood.
“i want to crack the egg!”
“i got egg on my hand!”
“i want to pour the oil!”
sneaky.
“mmmmm….sugar.”
“i want to turn it on!” do you make your pancakes in a blender?
this routine of pancakes with dad is special. it makes a mess but the memories are worth it. We are always looking for the perfect pancakes. Is Craig willing to share his ingredients. We make our puff pancakes in a blender, but not the regular pancakes. But my kids haven’t been too happy with our regular pancakes. Maybe I need your recipe! yes, maybe you should post the recipe. i am a bisquik mom, but it would be nice to suprise the family with homemade. yum!!! Yum. My husband makes pancakes too. He makes them with a hand whisk. **Shhhh!** **Shhhh!** We had pancakes today too….but gluten-free just isn’t the same 🙁 Never in a blender. We didn’t even have bisquick when I was growing up. Just Krusteez….only add water. It is nice when you’re just going to make one or two, but oh those fluffy bisquick ones are yummy. Would love to try the blender ones as well. I am so craving pancakes right now!! it’s not just you, amy d… the thought of even trying to make pancakes without Bisquick has never occurred to this neighbor. I’ve been poking around your blog now. And I love it! That bathroom! That mirror! I LOVE it all! Sometimes I would slurge and make them from scratch, but the bisquick ones were so quick and we thought – pretty good! My kids LOVE to cook with their dad too!!! Personally I think there is nothing like a daddy and their daughters. Never saw pancakes blended in a blender before but hey less lumps or probably zero lumps that way. Looks like a great morning. Thanks for sharing Just as I was thinking “hmmmm…I’ve never mixed pancakes in a blender before”…YOU ASKED THE QUESTION! Looks fun! Great blog! Fun read! I found you a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed your family’s wonderful antics. Have an awesomely artful day! You know it’s gonna’ be a good one when you start taking photos three minutes out of bed! 🙂 you must post that recipe, i didn’t know there was anything other than bisquick! that should come to no surprise to my neighbors 🙂
oh annie was so naughty yesterday. I love that you call her naughty baby. So cute. My daughter is in sunday school with her. I’ve been spending some time backtracking on your blog (a suggestion of another reader) and I have to say, you have quite the family. A very interesting and fabulous bunch, you are! And your house is amazing. Glitter-Cat! That’s brilliant! Actually, I once did the same (although) not quite to the same extent to a Persian cat I had in college. He left pixie dust in his wake for days. I love it! Next time Nixon or Truman need a makeover I will send them down the street. Oh,what I have to look forward with London. Thanks the smile on a Monday morning. Just delurking this a.m., secretly, i bet Emily asked for the pretty glitter 🙂 It looks fabulous! I agree she now needs a cool kitty wig to complete the outfit! Kitty got a glamorous makeover! Now he needs one of those kitty wigs to go with it! Annie will get what’s coming to her one day with her own kids–I know I did ;)! HAAA! Reminds me of our dog who is often sporting some sort of ridiculous outfit. Funny. THIS is why she and e are such good friends. Ha Ha!!! My husband used to say that we need velcro jackets on the kids and we could just hang them on the wall to keep them out of trouble. Ooooooooooo, nice kitty!
this was one of sean’s homemade valentine’s.
annie loved being at sean’s party. to make dinner special
and this is me today… ******************************************** back to the laundry. Oh Oh! That laundry reminds me of a big leaf pile. You should just throw it into a big heap and let the kids jump into it! I bet it would keep them busy for all of 3.75 minutes…then maybe you would have time to make some decent frosting, which I’m hoping you’ll have perfected by the time I arrive on your doorstep with my two kids, my big fat tabby cat, and my beaded bikini…until then ~ XO XO XO XO Oh my gosh, your laundry pile is worse than mine. You have two more people in your family though. Laundry is the bane of my existence, how nice to know it makes others crazy too. I recently spent one cold, wet Saturday watching the entire 1st season of October Road while folding & putting away(during commercials) my family’s laundry. If you haven’t watched October Rd. Mondays 9pm, I think you would love it. Great music, good story, thus it probably won’t get renewed for 3rd season. Oh my gosh, that is hilarious about the kid and the frosting. Kids can be so honest. I beg my kids to not embarrass me like that. Don’t you just hate the washing pile!! One of my least favourite jobs. ah–children! so honest! speaking of manners, one of my 6th grade students today looks at me with a funny face and says, “what is wrong with your hair today? It looks crazy.” Thaaaaanks. I actually spent time on it this morning, but good to know that it looks “Crazy”. 🙂 Amy sent me a link to your blog. How fun! I could look at your amazing pictures for hours!!! You have tremendous artistic talent. Have a great weekend! -Susan I Have a question regarding your bedroom color, I have been toying with doing a deep brown instead of the pale blue I have had for 5 years, my guess is it is forgiving light at “night” no? as it is now even in full darkness the room with pale walls seems light . who doesn’t love homemade frosting? It’s still funny….what kids say. I love that you were watching a movie while doing laundry. Maybe someday I’ll be able to do that. It actually sounds heavenly….as heavenly as laundry can be. OH MY GOSH…I just laughed out loud so hard at that frosting question.. As I was reading it at first I thought she was going to say something nice and WHAM…RUDE. oooo i should be doing laundry. Why is laundry so dreadful? I love love love the manners lesson! Hope you have a very happy weekend! A good manners lesson. I love it! Good luck with the clothes, you should rent Chocolat. It just seems like that kind of day..
sean has had a very creative week.
apparently i signed up for treats in talby’s class
talby’s sweet valentine. and how totally appropriate for valentine’s day…..
this has to come today? ugh. i threw it away. Great Post! Yes…they don’t make cupcakes!!!!!!!! Oh my, Meg! I’d throw it away too. And my husband would ask me to throw it away (good husband!) if he knew it was coming. He makes me throw away my Victoria Secret catalogs too. Good good man. And really would you want that around for your son to see? I think not. Good for you. Dad says you can send the magazine to him! Yay!!! Good for you…I bet they can’t decorate like you, and they’d probably make lousy mums!! homeade valentines are just the best. what a sweetie. the cupcakes look awesome. and the magazine, will he miss it? too funny! Those little valentines are so cute! Tell little ones GREAT JOB! The cupcakes look so pretty. The women do not. You’ve got to go to iwanexstudio.com and check out the insane amount of photoshopping they do. I guarantee those women look nothing like that in real life. And I’d throw ’em away too :). Happy Valentines Day! LOL! I am with you on the mag. thing! Darling valentines and cupcakes, your blog is constantly making me hungry. Thanks for the url for the tea images. I’ll let you know how ours turns out. Thank you for all the wonderful “color shots” this week! You are definitely a SUPERMOM! All those cupcakes !! And i just want to say kudos to you meg, you put into words what every woman thinks and the way our brains work, when something like the SI shows up at the house!! And I LOVE how you worded the last two sentences! Amen sista!! Thank you for all the wonderful “color shots” this week! You are definitely a SUPERMOM! All those cupcakes !!

And I LOVE how you worded the last two sentences! Amen sista!! sean reminds me of my 2 kids….they make valentines on their own and make them special for each friend!! I WISH I had taught them that but they came up with it alone. this is for jana.
ahhhhhhhhh…..soak it in. LOVE this post about color! mom….that is ME! How can anyone not get happy after looking at all that color? Is that you under that hat–if so–what lovely eyes you have! Ahhh…that’s feels good on my eyes! By the way, what kind of camera do you have? Wow! Thanks for that pop of color! Wow! Thanks for that pop of color! These are very nice. So who is under that hat. I’ve starred and starred and can’t figure it out! Wow, gorgeous pics! First time on your blog, your photos are like eye candy. thanks for the bright cheer! i feel like skipping! For me??? Thank you sweet friend. You are good medicine… Love your photos, love your eyes under your hat, love you!! I LOVE your photo posts. They always make me want to grab my camera. You’ve got such an eye for what to take photos of though. I’d just walk around holding mine wondering what to capture. LOL so lovely and cheerful! great way to start the day! thanks! beautiful color. yum, fruity pebbles. i haven’t had those in ages. love your hat!!! the sun is shining here today and the snow is really bright, so it feels good. yeah! im so tired of being cold, and gray! Thank you! I needed that! Yesterday while I was driving to work with the snow flurries swirling around, I actually thought, maybe I will feel better if I look at Meg’s blog! Everything is much too gray. So glad I can count on you for what I need.
baby london finally got her shower.
my neighbors helped me host this pink party.
mmmmmmm…..
all of her presents waiting to be opened.
jen….london’s mama.
she woke up.
baby stuff is always so fun to open.
i got to hold her too!
pink everywhere.
jen i am so glad we could celebrate london with you. hi ladies. So pretty, I loved the wands in the champagne bucket! So pretty, I loved the wands in the champagne bucket! I just found your blog today and I must say I LOVE your style! I bookmarked it for baby shower reference!!! Would you mind posting a list of all your goodies? like others mentioned I’d love to know where you got pink marshmallows, and what’s on the dish underneath the little chocolate brownies? What did you do with the wands? were they just for decoration? I LOVE all of your serving pieces too!! the flowers in the vase of marshmallows was too cute!!!

I found your blog today and you have a great blog! I love this post,bcause you are showing everybody that party can be healthy! Thank you for that.Have a nice weekend and sorry for my bad english.. 🙂 What a beautiful shower! Very pretty and London is a beautiful baby. Thanks for participating in the pink challenge! I love the cake and all the pink. Would you please humor me on a side note, I am noticing the mouldings above either a window or door to the left of the kitchen run, it reaches to the ceiling , would you take a full picture of that area for me to get a good look at , I have two windows in my family room that are screaming for something more , and you may hold the answer. Chocolate peanut butter ice cream with bananas and chocolate syrup? Now I love you even more, Jenn! 🙂 What a beautiful baby shower! Everything looks so yummy! Okay Amy, yes there were only 4 items at that moment when the picture was taken but you did miss the big bowl of chocolate peanut butter icecream with bananas and chocolate syrup I had last night right before bed. I love all the pink. I’m usually more of a red person–but all that pink mixed with a baby girl was perfect! I think all the big white lanterns hanging up were divine. I would have another baby if you’d come throw my shower :)! So I’m figuring out why Jenn is so amazingly skinny already… she’s got 4 things on her plate. Seriously, Jenn. C’mon. WOW…what a delightful display of ‘pinkness’. That must have been the best fun to organise that party. My daughter’s fifth birthday party was a ‘Pink Party’ and it was my favourite of all her parties…eighteen little girls all dressed in pink, pink fizzy drink, pink food, pink decorations. You did a wonderful job here…especially with the decorations. this is incredibly sweet. very, very pinky sweet. what an adorable little baby girl. your decorations for the shower are just beautiful. the marshmallows in the vases with the flowers – wow. you have a wonderful style sense. i wanna be you. What a lovely shower, lucky girls. Where DID you get pink marshmallows? what a cutie! I must say she is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen! I am bias being her mother. Thank you so much for the shower, it was so girlie, beautiful, just like out of a magazine! And all those pictures for her scrapbook! What wonderful neighbors/family and friends to have in my life. Thanks again for all you have done. I LOVE the name London for a girl! Tried to get my sister to namer her daughter London but since she already had a Britan she declined..lol |

traci - i just love all the creativity that goes on in your home. topless art – you might have something there – “newest craze to take over the country”
restyledhome - Creative little family you’ve got there!!
Hmmm…wonder where they get that??
Linda
xoxo
Ainslie - My boy just spotted your Ikea finger puppets and said “Hey…we’ve got those”!!! And then he saw the Bionicles and was sooooooooooo excited!!! Will is a Lego fanatic. It’s so lovely to watch him in the playroom, building his own little masterpiece. I think he would have fun with Sean.
Kate of all Trades - Cute!
Kate of all Trades - Cute!
emily loria - I love finger puppets. They are classic fun, and anything with glitter– well, I am all over that. Your pancakes look like fun, I have never heard of making pancakes in the blender before! I just use bisquick too, and add fruit into it. I try to do fun shapes, but they never work out. But they taste good anyway.
jeanetta - my son is the exact same. he just caught sight of the pic and thought it was “totally cool!!”
“they look like they are battling!!”
traci - LOL…I kinda knew the topless artest wasnt you..lol
There are so many ways I wish I was more relaxed in life like you are but one thing we share is I let my kids go wild with art where ever, whenever. I think art and creativity should are sooooo important.
Jennifer P. - I love watching kids build and create and play. Why is that we have to lose so many of those skills as we grow? Is it just that they’ve been replaced with things like high-yield investments, and UN dealings, and fixed-rate mortgages. Sigh. Kids are just amazing, perfect little creatures!
