Ethan is finally bruise free

Ethan turned 2 almost a month ago.  During his birthday week, he fell into a wall (yep, that wall just jumped out of nowhere!) and got a bruise on his face. 
Since Ethan is not like Jackson (Mr. Accidentscometomelikemagnets), I waited for the bruise to heal.
Right when I was going to call to make an appointment for pictures (we chose Portrait Innovations for a quick one shot deal) he slipped while I was babysitting, hit the other cheek on a chair and got a bigger bruise!
Well, he was finally bruise free so we went to Village Pointe to make a morning of it.
He was
super cute.
(Yes, I have a scanner and know how to use it.  Yes, I should have rotated.  Just rotate your head and pretend it is a scanned image :))

waiting for the second room to empty in PI.
The kids were so well behaved, even with Mr. Bratty Mc Bratty Pants tormenting them...I did fuss at this random child a few times.  He was just a jerk (knock my kids tower down once, an accident, do it repeatedly when he and I ask you to leave it alone, you become a jerk at the age of 3) and will one day grow up to be a big bully if his mama keeps ignoring him as she was at PI.  I don't care if your have a newborn (asleep) and want to order eleven thousand pictures of the child and her brother (in ugly clothes, btw)...keep an eye on your kid!  At one point I told Mr. Bratty Mc Bratty pants to go give his mom a BIG hug and kiss and to tell her, "Mom, you need to keep an eye on me, I am being mean."  The photographer and I heard him go to his mom and say " I need eyes for mean".  We laughed so hard.
It was a GREAT morning, especially considering that for less then $50 at Ann Taylor Loft (including a $15 credit) I got $380 worth of clothes!  Mostly because I got 3 pairs of skinny jeans (1 for my sister, 2 for me b/c I could not decide which pair fit better) that were normally $80 were on finally clearance for $4.88.  Add in the 40% off everything sale and the $15 credit for my upcoming birthday and their final total price (less taxes) was $2.19 a pair!  Holy cow!

I've never owned these new fangled "skinny jeans" so we will see if muffin top+skinny jeans=vomity moment, or cute with an oversized sweater that attempts to hid muffin top.



Now I need some awesome boots to go with, but that'll have to wait for another day.

My Vacuum Sucks (not literally)

So, I NEED my vacuum today. I NEED to vacuum the craft room so that my friends won't think I am a trashy hostess tomorrow.
But, my vacuum sucks.  Wait...no it doesn't, which is causing my issue.
Guess I should have bought a slightly more expensive vacuum last year, eh?  (It was the cheapest Home Depot had to offer, lol...but in my defense we have very few areas that we actually need a vacuum on.)

So, I'm off to sweep my rugs.  How Little House On The Prairie is that?  I mean, I DO live in Omaha, and isn't this like, the middle of the prairie after all?  (Other then that hill part, of course....)

Like Father, Like Son

I know you have already shared Jackson's picture, but when I saw Bart's profile picture tonight, I almost peed my pants laughing at the silliness that is my family.  (It doesn't help that the two pictures were close together on FB to draw the conclusion.)

Words Cannot Describe...


Right?  I mean, what goes through a child's mind to think this is cool and the "rad" thing to do?  :)
