LiL Boys

I am about as girly as they come. I make jewelry for a living.  I LOVE dressing up and doing my hair and makeup in funky ways. I have loads of fairy books and butterfly paintings all over my house. I have spent countless hours watching different nail polishing tutorials on you tube (I know! they are just so addicting to me! Ha! :)) Needless to say raising lil boys has been quite the learning experience for me.

For instance, when I was lil there were lots of tea parties and dress up. Now its all pretend fighting and super heros...

I use to spend hours upon hours playing barbies with my sister. Now it's endless hours of legos...

 This new adventure into boyhood has opened my eyes to a whole new world that I have never experienced before. Full of super fast cars that go vrooom erkkkkk bammm booosh!  In depth talks about butts, farts, and poopy, the word I hear about 100 times a day. Constant renforcement that pee pee goes IN the towel NOT on or around it! Grosses thing ever = a 4 yr old boys toilet.

The worlds of Transformers, your friendly neighborhood Spiderman, Thomas the Train, and my personal favorite Lightning McQueen.  

Boyhood its turning out to be a rather messy and quite smelly place. Really, 4 years old and his shoes/feet already smell like moldy fish! I didn't think that started till the teenage years. Sheeesh!!

Oh, but I do love it. There is nothing quite as sweet as when your lil man tells you that your the most beautiful girl ever or that he will take care of you and drive you around when he is older. Ha! That will be nice and a little scary :)  Oh, my heart melts for my sweet lil boys.

Sometimes, though, a girl just needs a baby, pink fairy wings and tutu to put her soul at ease.

movin right along

It's that time again. Seems like this happens once a year to my lil family. Every year we pack up our lives into dozens and dozens of boxes. We sort through things that will be left behind and take with us the things that remind us of the days gone by. Don't get me wrong, I like moving, i like the fresh start and new beings that come with every new move. It's just the whole process of taking apart a house that I lovingly and carefully made into a home. It also, always seems that we end up moving when I am 7 mths pregnant. Such wonderful timing. But, more space is what we need, and that is what we are getting, which I couldn't be more excited about!

 Boxes have taken over my house, atleast Frida is enjoying them :)

A very rainy Monday turned into a puddle playing Tuesday

Don't ya just wanna pinch those rosy cheekies right off!!!?

Hope everyone lots of peace and happy changes this week :)

Bike RidiN'

We went on a bike ride to the park behind our house today. I was more nervous about the whole thing then Finn was. I am not the best bike rider and being 7mths preggo doesn't help the situation. I think I will leave the bike riding lessons to KTH. Still, it was nice to get outside, enjoy the beautiful weather, and do a lil exercise!

These lil legs aren't ready for the big hills, yet :)

Stopped to feed the geese and soak in some sunshine!

On Christmas day my sweet kitty, Frida, took a lil adventure away from home for 2 weeks!

She had me worried to death. I felt like someone in my family was missing, it was AWFUL!! But, thankfully she came back to us happy and healthy. It's times like this that I wish she could talk to us. I guess we will never know what happen her but I am SOooOO happy she found her way back home.

Big and GettiN BIGGER!!

Until next time....

PeAcE and HaIr gReAsE :)
