friday facebook download + some kids playing outside

I'm not sure when the last time was I managed to get a Friday facebook download accomplished so hopefully I don't overlap anything.....here is my week (month more like) according to facebook.....
 
 Me: that's a skirt, clover
Clover: no! It's a dress!
Me: it's a skirt
Clover: it's a dress! A dress!
Me: nope. It's a skirt. I refuse to agree to something false just because I'm in an argument with a three year old.

 
Apparently the house across the street has finally sold. And I really hope it wasn't to the guy who just lifted his shirt up to scratch his belly while spitting in the neighbor's yard.

 
 I think I might have hit that point at which I feel inappropriately youthful in comparison to my real age. Crap.

 
 we crossed another milestone in parenthood tonight: calling poison control!

 
 My little door locker strikes again. Violet locked me and Clover out on the second story deck. We don't have stairs on the deck....So guess what I got to do? Leap to my uncertain death from the deck to run around our townhouses and open the garage door. Did I mention I'm afraid of heights? *puke*

 
 7 years ago I married a someone I was terribly in love with... Still married. Still terribly in love. We are firmly seated as one another's mind reading best friend. I'm looking forward to seeing how we get to grow together in the next 7 years.

 
 For anniversary dinner we took the kids to Fireworks pizza in Leesburg. Tim and I demolished a firecracker pizza and each had a delicious beer (they have great beer there). Sooooo gooood. Between that and the anniversary gifts Tim lavished on me I'm feeling like an extremely blessed woman.

 
 The next time somebody comes to my door to sell me meat I'm just going to claim to be a vegetarian. I'm sick of politely declining their offer and then getting a passive aggressive "what's the matter, you guys don't like steak?"

 
I'm pretty sure I have no underlying psychic or magical abilities, because according to movies, you discover them at the height of explosive rage. The only things here that flew off of shelves or burst apart today were propelled by my kids. Also my rage. That was propelled by them too. 0_0

 
 my kids hate doing arts and crafts. this is absurd!

 
 It's a skill to always look like you've just rolled out of bed, in my opinion (said me to myself as I glanced in the mirror)....

 
This is terrible. I have had a crazy painful muscle in my shoulder/neck since yesterday and it even sends shooting pain to turn my head or yawn. Whipping my head around to see what kind of mischief my kids are up to is part of my job!!! This place is going to burn to the ground.....

 
 Violet is a fly hunter. Two last night and one this morning. She gets really intense when she hunts one and then brings it to us with pride. Like a cat with a dead mouse!










happy friday!!

  1. I really love clovers top, did you make it? If so, tutorial pleeeease! I'll be in your boat tonight (sort of) as I'm looking after a 4 yr old and a 7 yr old. I'm REALLY hoping for no poison control calls. Thankfully all our doors require a key to lock!

    1. ooh, good luck with the kids! thankfully, they tend to be less prone to poisoning themselves after age 2 so you should be ok....
      Yes, I did make her shirt quite a while ago. It is Dr. Seuss themed based on the Sneetches story. I might be able to come up with a tute for it! It would be fun to make another one like it. The lettering is just freehand cut knit sewn on wonky to look Seussy, and the cowl neck is a tall version of the neckband I learned in Sewing For Boys. I used an old Gap tank top to make the body of the shirt.

  2. It looks great, I'm super impressed! I would be rubbish stitching round all the letters. So far so good, the kids are fast asleep :-) apparently they were naughty today, so we were told to send them back if they didn't behave! I just thought the conversation was funny;
    Julian:my dad never keeps his promises
    Me:oh really? Why is that? ( thinking they had been promised ice cream or something)
    Julian:because he promised me I wasn't coming here for a sleepover because I was naughty. But here I am!
    Ha ha ha
    And then the youngest getting out of bed calling to us 'something's broken!'
    Me:what is it?
    Erika:I have to show you!
    (I go upstairs)
    Erika:look! Curious George has broken his leg in my book! See?!
    !!!!
