Sick Babes

We are a bunch of sickos this weekend, which is just delightful. Tober has never really been sick like this before and it was kind of funny to see how she handled it. The first time I saw her throw up she was happily walking around the house when she suddenly spewed. Afterwards She put her hand to her mouth and looked at me like what the heck, and then shook her head as She kept playing. As it progressed it took a lot out of her and at one point she spent at least an hour laying on my bare belly {she insisted on lifting up my shirt to be skin on skin, and I insisted on keeping a towel in hand} The poor thing has handled it all pretty well. I am now prepared for the possibility of  a long and messy night. I definitely feel like a mom right now.

I also just wanted to shout out major props to my seesta-in-law Pip for being a killer athlete and attempting insanities like triathlons and half marathons only months after birth. You are my hero, way to go.


Also, with the thought of owning a home suddenly comes this crazy desire to own every cool tool in the world. My mind is going nuts with all the things I would love to do and a nail gun/ jig saw/ you name it tool just makes the possibilities seem endless.

A few things I have been fascinated by.
Wall stripes.

Stenciling.

Built in/ stuck toys
{I get tired of the toys that belong downstairs/upstairs getting all jumbled and love the idea of a little play table downstairs that all the toys are fixed to. If you want to just dump things for the joy of dumping go upstairs!}

This is kind of too traditional/doctor's office style for me, but you get the idea. I love the thought of fixing an old phone and maybe and etch a sketch to it.

Fixing the tv to the wall and creating an frame for it.

I imagine something like this, upholstered, vintage 60's knobs and a little nook for the Wii/dvd player.

Yarn mobiles for my Babies.

and So many more ideas crowding my sick brain. Foggy brain + buying a home = crazy thoughts :)

Our house...Maybe

S-bug the magnificent performing an inspection on a home We are in the process of maybe buying.*

The new year brought this family a big surprise, something I didn't see coming, the possibility of buying a home. It has been quite the experience, mostly filled with excitement but there is also the unavoidable stress that comes with making decisions this big.

I love the little house.

It is awesome.

I want it.

All I need to figure out now is if it is the right thing for us right now, and then be willing to make a move like this...

In case you are wondering this does mean I will be completing finals, moving and having a baby within a month of each other. Yeah, cause thats how I roll, apparently.

I am nervous,

but mostly excited.

Worked to the bone

Golly. I woke up this morning to an email from my seester in law asking if I wanted to join her in a lazy day, Yes! I thought, and then I remembered that we were out of milk and I had atleast 2 other errands to run. Plus I am in the middle of cleaning out all of our closets, so much for lazy. I am so tired, but I do love all the progress I have made.

That is all I can put out for now. I need to pick up my house, make dinner, shower, go to Bradley class, and then a movie date afterwards. Good thing I am in my middle trimester cause none of this would have been happening 2 months ago.

Stay tuned cause tommorow {if I am up for it} I have some big, hopefully good news!

Now if I can only make my body move from off this couch.....

T is for T pants

My adorable nephew tpants was the inspiration behind this pillow. I threw it together yesterday, instead of doing laundry. My house is staring me in the face saying please pay attention to me and instead I am finding distractions through redesigning a little boys room.

My new intrigue

I found these felt wall tire at Apartment Therapy today. Now I want them, too bad I can't figure out how to buy them. This might just become a DIY project. :)

It was 1980 something

It was almost like we never left...The 80's that is. I know I said 80's attire was a must but I have to say I was surprised and truly proud of the turn out.

What 80's party could be complete without a pacman cake! {thanks mama R}

Just a taste

Happy New Year!!

I am a little busy, and tired this morning but I want to post just a sampling of the awesomeness that was Jones' 1980's party.

MOre later, much more.
