Today's Fun

Today was a good day.
It started around 7:30a. Breakfast was pancakes, eggs, and coffee. YUM.
Next we went to the Victory Garage Sales. They were a bit of a bust but it was good to get out and see what people were selling, backyards, and say hi to our neighbors.
Then we went to our local plant store. We bought marigolds, bee balm, and some veggies.
Lunch was sandwiches and then the kids both napped, FOR TWO HOURS!!!
Heavenly!
Øf course i folded some laundry but I did read for a bit too.
Yardwork finished out the afternoon. YIPPEE!
It is amazing to me that I missed the entire summer out in the yard last year because I was prego.

In other news from today... D is really working on rolling over. He doesn't seem to have the same head issues as his big sister had.

Catchy Title

Good Friday Afternoon!

If you haven't noticed - I use StatCounter to track who is looking at my blog. I can see for instance that someone looked at my blog from Washington State, France, Iowa, and Indonesia to name a few. Isn't that cool? and somewhat scary? I can also see the entry links and I wonder how close to the top of the Goggle query I am when someone types in one of my catchy titles. iPhone gets quite a few hits.

So if you are a blogger and want to have a little fun - play around with your titles and see if you can get a bunch of hits. Let me know how you do in the comments!

She loves picking flowers

Dandelions do have a good use. They keep the other flowers from being picked.
B loves to pick flowers and we have had dandelions and violets in our home for a while now.
It is so sweet when she decides on her own to pick flowers for the neighbors. We have also kept many bouquets for grandparents and friends. What would you think if the florist delivered a vase of dandelions?

If he ever gets mad enough!

D is going to really roll over one of these days. I wish I had video because the screaming that goes along with these pictures is so cute. He is a determined little toot.

Oh geez

'Mom, you know what I do when I love a movie?'
'What B?'
'I cry, because I love it sooo much.'

Shhhh Don't wake the baby...

Did you watch SNL last night

I turned on SNL last night because I always try to watch some of it when I get a chance. It is a show that I have been watching since the 80s on and off and even though it has LOTS and LOTS of crappy skits - you sometimes come across that one gem. Here is one of the many gems from SNL. Dana Carvey is one of my favorites from the show.

Choppin' Broccoli

But the reason I was writing today was because John McCain was on the show in a couple of different skits. If you have an opinion on this - please share it in the comments. I can't make up my mind if I think it is okay for SNL to have politial people on its show, even if he was poking fun at himself. It just made me uncomfortable.

Rating my movies

On the sidebar, I have movies and books I have recently read. When I started that list - I was rating them on a one to four star scale. After watching movies mostly and rating them, I noticed that I very rarely rated any of them badly. So I stopped. I think I like most things I am choosing to watch right now because I have seen them before.

Last night I watched Mad Money and even though it was REALLY slow in the beginning, it turned into a cute flick. I had to get past my skeptism of Katie Holmes but after I let it go - I could enjoy it.

Its the simple things - right?
