knock knock knock.
“Oh hello annie! what are you doing here?” i ask.
“”this is my baby….maya. she was in my tummy. want to hold her?”
“yeah…she ti-yerd. she need a nap. annie leaves to put maya for a nap. I am glad I found you too, like you I found you before and never found my way back. Ooh, it’s good to hear someone else uses little ‘diversions’ for their kids. I love the way you write Annie’s dialogue as she says it….it’s so adorable. I could listen to ‘little people’s talk’ all day…it’s just so darn cute!!! super cute. and i love the door. and the 3’s company reference Love your home is is so wonderful, I have always wanted a swinging door, you are inspiring me. LOL! Meg I swear we were separated at birth! My daughter and I have played the same game for years. She’s mostly outgrown it now – and now the game is “here’s a book, how much can you read all by yourself??” lolol Just stumbled upon your blog. You have some gorgeous photos in here. Your family is very lucky to have someone capturing all these little moments so beautifully. a bible verse is the white…1 Peter 1:13-15. I love Three’s Company. I had a crush on Jack for the longest time… come and knock on our door! We’ve been waiting for you!…… (I loved your 3’s Company reference:)!). she is just tooooooo cute!!! First of all you have THE CUTEST little girl in town, second I LOVE your house!! What are the pieces of paper on the wall next to the door with writing on them? i took the morning off.
luxury to me.
i slowly looked through these books. the rest of my day was a breeze… i baked.
i arranged flowers.
name that movie…. look how cute the gerbera daisies are all cozy in their hairnets.
i brought color back to the kitchen
scott remains healthy. not that craig is anything like this… Love the post. Your flower arrangement is so beautiful. Please post your pumpkin muffin recipe. My best friend’s grandmother used to make the best pumpkin bread, I haven’t found a recipe even close. those books look fabulous… Hi there, I agree with Liz…this is just the most cheerful blog ever!!! You definately have a the gift with a camera. I love the flowers, bumball machine, flowers with little hairnets on as you worded it and everything else!!! Soooo glad you took time off to just relax in the midst of the sick storm your family is going thru. Tell Scott to hang on and be STRONG.. love love love the lemons in the centerpiece! just beautiful! I absolutely LOVED the video. I laughed outloud and that feels good!!! that video is hilarious! Oh please invite me along on your next outing to Barnes and Noble. I’ll be quiet I promise :)! A little peace and quiet and a stack of decorating books looks sooooo nice. It’s been so loud and crowded in here lately. I think I’ve got cabin fever. The video is terrific. Would you come and put some flowers on my table? Loved the video! Nick Frost is so funny. This might be my favorite post of all time. Seriously. I dont know what cheered me up more… seeing your cheerful flowers and cute gumball machine or watching that video. That was eerily accurate of man sickness. Cant wait to show that to Matt… what a great day for you. absolutely love the bookstore. you need to give the recipe for your pumpkin muffins – they look wonderful. what great decorating bits. the flowers are beautiful. very springy!! i WOULD love that. more than much i can think of. It’s from “The BreakUp” with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, right? I love that you put the citrus in the vase…so pretty!! It’s from “The BreakUp” with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, right? I love that you put the citrus in the vase…so pretty!! Darling. Darling. Darling. I love everything you got to do on your day off. I also am inspired by your angles! 😉 Loved the visit! craig just walked in… it will be a miracle if scott doesn’t get this. ************************************************** OMG… I just laughed hard out loud. your kids are so funny! That’s funny. You can tell your daughter that I often wonder the same thing, “Who are these people that wonder around WalMart in the middle of the day?” I dont know, but I want to be one of them! 🙂 kids perceptions are so funny!! I dont know about with Craig but with most men they are the WORST when being sick…no one feels as bad as them..lol…hope this is all over soon. This is day 3 and I’m still pretty bad. Kids bounce back so fast. It’s not fair. How are Annie and Talby and Craig? i really am laughing That must be why I needed glasses about the same year I started homeschooling! Do you think if I stopped I could get my 20/20 back?
so yeah…it’s january 22nd
11 months in a box.
new for us…
clearly scott prefers big ornaments. i am feeling much better today. ********************************************************** I love the idea of the boxes for each child’s ornaments. We do have a few ‘disagreements’ when it comes to hanging the decorations as to who gets to hang which ones. I think I’ll have to steal this idea from you if you don’t mind. I promise if anyone asks, to tell them it was your idea though!!! not to worry…mine stuff goes up around the first of november! Our last Christmas box just went out to the garage yesterday…you are in good company! Hope you continue on the mend – best wishes! all your Christmas goodies look SO pretty! What a great idea for the kids’ ornaments. My kids are always asking where their particular handmade ornaments are, and I just have them amongst the crowd of others. Your Christmas goodies look gorgeous. my tree is still up. dont think i’ll get to it today. lol okay, i want to do this. See, THAT’S why I take all my stuff down on Dec. 26 :)!!! If I leave it up just a little too long, I completely stop noticing it. (Not that you didn’t notice yours, or maybe you didn’t–I’m just saying that’s how the story ends with me!). The one thing I didn’t get to–the snow paint on my front windows–is still there. I’m so glad I’m not the only one! i love love love all of your pictures. you are so creative! congrats on getting the tree down! 🙂 thanks for stopping by; I love making new blogger friends! those ornaments do look gorgeous in the box!!! I too LOVE the idea of each child having a box of ornaments…Im so stealing that idea 🙂 I love the idea of having a special box for each child’s special hand made ornaments. Thanks.
this was my weekend. but before i got sick we went to scott’s games.
his first time playing on a team. if i wasn’t sick i would’ve helped with this.
we started a new project but craig was on his own.
goodbye blue flowered wallpaper and matching drapes. Love your family chronicles… your pictures are great! The details help tell the stories that you write about. Nice! oh no!!! When you had not blogged in a WHOLE 2 days I knew you MUST be sick!! So sorry…I know here in Okiehoma (haha) everyone is sick. My husband was the first in line for a flu shot and still got sick, I declined the flu shot and feel great, hmmmmm. Get well soon! Removing wallpaper is not fun I’ve done my share. I had similar walpaper in my old house but the colors were mustard yellow and avacado green with some dark brown. Hideous to say the least. I can’t wait to see what becomes of that room when you are done. Hope you feel better soon! Good luck with the wallpaper. hope you’re feeling better. bummer that you all are getting sick. yea, i’d say bye bye to that wallpaper too. sorry. can’t wait to see what you do instead, i love your decorating style. Wow! You must save those drapes and make Sound of Music style playsuits out of them! (I’m sure Lauren would love that!) feel better soon. I am so sorry you are sick, but so excited to see what you will do with the playroom. Somehow you made that blue flowered wallpaper work–but I think you’ll make something else work even better!
just a quick post today. this is a picture from the craft room a few months back I just love your creative space…no wonder you are so creative!! I just love your blog what a great space to create in. very inviting. love all the pictures and little bits of life on the board right in front of you. That space looks like it could produce so many great ideas! I would love a place to just pin up anything and everything that inspires me. The ‘create’ shadow is cool! |
