Adventures, Creative Juice and Silly

Adventures, creativity, silliness....we had all of that and more this week!! What a delightful week it has been. This week would include one of my favorite days of my life so far-no joke. It has been amazing. A few photos in attempt to keep up with my planned schedule:):
Thursday-adventures

A visit downtown Chicago....quite the adventure I would say! And really-if you have kids down there people stare at you like you are walking an endangered species!

Friday: creative juice

the mad dash to get things ready for our Handmade Open House

one of my completed stations at the sale

one of the beautiful rooms...full of buyers and sellers

Saturday:silly

I did makeup for our church's children's musical...it included putting beards on some of the kids and I was the only willing model to practice on. Why not capture the moment....bearded woman anyone??

what we ate

oatmeal and brown sugar...divine!

Isabelle's "crunchy cereal"...aka frosted mini wheats

Einstien's potato bagel toasted with butter

"noodly oodly"-pasta with melted cheese

qdoba-for Wednesday nights when are schedule is insane!

spicy chicken over lime rice...so amazing!!

bagel and egg-whites, cheese and bacon

What fun things are you eating??

on the catwalk

babyGap sweater-gift, american apparel gray onesie, babyGap maroon leggings, headband etsy-gift...and sophie:)

gymboree skateboard peace sign, gymboree pj shorts (he chose those)

childrens place pink shirt-resale shop, gymboree polka dot skirt

white cardigan-salvation army, amercian apparel black onesie, babyGap pink pants

my new vision

So the trouble with my blog is that every time I come to write it I struggle with what to put. Do I want to include recipes, do I want to do stuff on fashion, should this be all about parenting.....and the debate goes on and on. Well, I think I have a solution. Every day of the week will contain a different "theme". I can then cover all the areas of interest to me and if a certain day of the week topic does not interest you-then don't read it on that day. Sounds straight-forward enough but now to see if I can actually stick to it:) Only time will tell. Here is the rough plan
Monday-here and there (photos)
Tuesday-on the catwalk (what we are wearing throughout the week)
Wednesday-what we ate (recipes and food pictures)
Thursday-adventures (places and things we have done)
Friday-creative juice (things we have made/drawn, etc)
Saturday-silly (whatever falls into that category)
Sunday-things I like

Hope to get things off with a bang tomorrow...since today I have already posted;)

the problem with a smart phone

Soooo since my hubby bought me a smart phone (yes I did have a phone we purchased at like Walgreens before that:)) I have been using it non-stop. Sounds great right? Well it is...until I am no longer using my camera to take photos. This means that I am not posting pictures to my blog. Now-your solution is probably simple...use your phone to take photos for the blog. Good idea!! Once I learn how to do that I will. Until then I will leave you with this story.

The other night it was late. All the children were asleep....so we thought. Suddenly we hear singing. Nate goes upstairs to check (we had been watching Chopped...or some other fun cooking show on Hulu) and came down laughing. Judah (my 2 year old) was laying naked on his bed, lights turned on in his room, his sunglasses on...singing Pippilongstocking at the top of his lungs.

I love parenting:)
