Riddle me This...

What has a lack of energy...

feels nauseated on and off all day, everyday...

has to pee about fifty times a day...

is very moody...

has the scent of a hound dog...

and its life revolves around food?

Little Milestones

The last couple of weeks have marked a couple of events for two of the "nestlings."
Twenty seven month old "D" is now sleeping in a bed.
Yea!

Five year old "C" learned how to ride a bike.

No more training wheels.
Yea!
(Don't worry she always wears a helmet and tennis shoes while riding her bike)
They're growing up too fast!!!

License Plate Frame for Garage Sale Shoppers

I followed this car to Target yesterday.
It put a smile on my face.
If you can't read it, it says;
CAUTION!
VEHICLE STOPS FOR ALL garage sales
I wonder if she got the frame at a garage sale?

Calling all Samoa Lovers

Keebler has Cracked the Code!
I decided I'd buy a couple boxes of keebler cookies because they were on sale this week, as I scanned the different kinds I saw one called
"Coconut Dreams."
They looked just like the girl scout cookies called samoas.
I thought I'd get a box, not expecting them to taste as good, but much to my surprise they tasted just like samoas and are at least 1/2 the price.
Yahoo!
or
Oh No!
You can thank or curse me later.

South of the Border

Thought I'd wrap up our vacation better late than never.

From California we drove six hours to Mexico.
My in-laws are either super kind or kind of crazy
or both, because they agreed to take all of us in their minivan.
We filled every seat and the trunk was packed to the roof.
I sat in the very back row between my two girls.
Believe it or not it was quite nice being squished in the middle.
I read blogs on my laptop until we lost internet awhile before the border,
then I cut out paper dolls until I couldn't move my thumb.
We shared an apple and an orange.
I read them Cinderella.
It was a lovely time.
The "nestlings" found a crab and had fun torturing it, poor thing.
They eventually let it go.Little "D" playing in the sand, happy as a clam.
Since the "nestlings" lived in their swimsuit,
my trick was to have two swimsuits per kid, that way one was always dry.
Miss "C" in her ruffly swimsuit.
The "husbird" and his brother built this sand castle with the "nestlings" help.

One of the nights we were there the moon was amazing.
It lit up the beach like it was day time.Playing in the sand and sea was how we spent 90% of our time in Mexico.
All the "nestlings" have tan lines and lighter hair because of it.
We'll miss the beach until next year....

His and Hers Ceiling Fan, Great Kitchen Gadgets, and a Giveaway

I've been looking for a better lighting solution for my master bedroom and I found this, Casablanca Candelabra light kit that attaches to a ceiling fan.
It would be the best of both worlds for the "husbird" and I.
He gets the ceiling fan and I get the look of a chandelier.
Wouldn't it be great with this ceiling fan?
I've never seen a ceiling fan with beadboard blades, so cottagey.
Csnstores.com has more than just lights.
I found this great cuisinart griddler to make panini sandwiches, yum.
It has removable plates so it would be so easy to clean.
I've always wanted to try making yogurt from scratch.
I never knew there was a machine that will do it for you, a yogurt maker.
I'm sure the "nestlings" would love having homemade yogurt everyday.Csnstores is offering a $40 gift certificate to one lucky person.
(Unfortunately this giveaway is only for U.S. and Canadian residents)
Check out csnlighting.com, leave a comment by July 15th, and
I'll randomly pick a winner on July 16th.
Good Luck!
