Did I mention I am obsessed with collages...because I am

I'm Baaack!

Tyler turned two yesterday! I can't believe how fast it has gone. Two really quick photos before I go to bed. Once again, I have stayed up way later than I wanted to! We went to Chuck E Cheeses on Sunday and I am not very happy with the way my photos turned out. It was pretty dark in there and I had to use my flash which is the quickest way to ruin a photo. Krista made Ty a tractor cake that he LOVED!

Yep, that's his tongue on the glass...pretty sure he will come down with some sort of illness this week.

More photos to come tomorrow.

Oh, I am really loving the song in the latest JC Penny commercials. Check it out...the song is Unbelievable by the Sleepy Rebels. The commercial has a remix version that I like a little bit better than the real song. Lucky me, itunes has both.

Wishes come true

I received my birthday wishes in some format or another...

Breakfast in bed was shared with Tyler who spilled crumbs everywhere, spread syrup on the duvet cover, and stole my turkey bacon and I wouldn't have it any other way

The pedicure was also from Tyler...did I ever tell you that the kid BEGS me to let him rub lotion on my feet? No? Well he does and I am considering renting him out by the hour. He's actually pretty good for such a little guy.

Mike did the dishes twice...he was so proud that he did them twice. He thought he one upped me until I told him I not only do them twice on Sundays, I do them 2-3 times on Saturdays and every other day of the week. Still...nice to have a day off. He also picked up and vacuumed the basement.

I also received a lovely bouquet of flowers from Mike and Tyler and got out of diaper duty for the day. Unfortunately for Mike, Tyler had 6 stinky diapers. :)


Another wish comes true as well...

Orla Kiely's goodies at Target will be in stores in February. Products include table settings, kitchen accessories, and office supplies. I have my eye on some bins for my office, some mugs, and the super cute apron below...

Birthday Wishes

I thought I had outsmarted the yucky cold that Mike and Tyler had. Turns out not...I am sick as a dog and not loving it.

I turn the big 27 tomorrow. Mike asked me what I wanted for my birthday and my answers were immediate:

A clean house that I didn't clean, breakfast in bed, a pedicure, some pretty flowers, AND



2 days by myself and some cash to make my office pretty again

Now...if only my hubby actually read this blog. :)
