One droolie monkey!

so...I thought he was NAPPING- turns out...Diego was giving himself a little "pedi" - With trepidation, I climbed the stairs to see the 'damage' to our bathroom...miracles of miracles- there was only a small , tiny drop of polish on the floor!

apple picking 2011

we found a nice little orchard just minutes away in Marion Ohio. They were having a "Fall Festival" with wagon rides, petting zoo, music and other fun activities.

Off the CHARTS....

so.....this little guy is so big he is OFF the CHARTS! Nothing like needing 12 m. clothes for your 4 month old! Give this dude a basketball!

I love Mamaw so much...oh, and go BUCKS!

Diego and Mommy made a "diego face" with noodle hair for preschool...

Diego has graduated to the 'attached bike

Smoothie mustaches!

what do we have here?

Caught in the act-
it would appear we have another little boy who likes to suck his thumb!!

labor day weekend project. AKA. the MATEO project.

It all began with a baby....
all these hours sitting on the couch nursing little sweet one....I would stare at our living room wall...combine that with a little (okay, a lot of HGTV) I decided we needed to 're-design' the space- so, inspired by fabric for a new valance in the kitchen- our color palette in the kitchen/dining space has changed from the blues and browns- to primary. We love our new board and batten wall- it really changes the look of the room. The kitchen/dining room got a face lift as well with the yellow paint, new seat covers, lamp shades, and the famous new valance....all in all- a great weekend project...
let us know what you think....




The "sweet reward"...nothing says good job like a "Barbie cake"
???????

Back to school for the Dude!

sewing experiments

so, I have been trying to sew- often I have a grand idea and it really, really doesn't turn out. This skirt kind of did- look, there it goes! My model was 'busy' so no really good photos...but this ruffle skirt was SEW SO easy! Its made from old T-shirts! a lot of fun....

a birthday weekend....and sneak peek for school.

Mia goes to school!

So the day came! Mia started her first day of school. Her teacher seems like he will be a lot of fun. She is on a split-full day schedule- so she gets to have LUNCH at school, recess, gym, art, all those fun classes that we love...and, she loved the bus ride! Can't wait for the stories we will hear...

someone has Mommy's feet!

Alas- it appears that all my children have inherited my big feet! But aren't they cute...Mateo's, that is.....mine, eh!

Mateo- 3 months OLD!
