Only 2 More Sleeps....

Until we find out the sex of impending baby. I'm excited and don't know how those of you who choose to be surprised make it all the way to the end not knowing.

A friend of mine said it was the last real surprise in life. True but i'd rather give it a name. And buy appropriate cute clothes.

We went to see Indiana Jones last week. It was good. Not the greatest but good. George Lucas summed it up best in an interview - "we made a B movie in an A style"
That is so true and how they made the other 3 movies.

The June heat is setting in, can't believe it is already JUNE!

So Precious

One of my favorite things is when i tell my son i love him and kiss him on the cheek he reaches up to me and cups my face or hugs me and says "I love you sooo much" in his cute little voice and kisses me back. That is a moment when a mothers heart melts.

May Already?!

Ok so first there was an entry associated with the post title below. Not sure where it went. I was probably griping about my lack of caffeine. Since i can't remember never mind.

It has been a very busy few weeks, hence the lack of posts here. We went to Disneyland for 5 whole days. Which at first seemed like too much time at the magic kingdom but worked out well. It is the first time i've ever been with a child and it was fun because he was having so much fun.

Then on the day we headed home i got sick with a sinus/respiratory infection that put a damper on my next whole week. Then the whole family gets sick and next thing you know - the laundry has piled up and people are looking for a shirt they wore on vacation and wondering why it hasn't been washed in 2 weeks. We will disregard that comment and move on.

Nothing else exciting it going on to report. Today is my parents 36th wedding anniversary - too bad Hallmark doesn't make cards that say - Happy Anniversary. Congratulations for not divorcing, setting fire to the house or killing each other in the last __ years.
That would be more appropriate than the lovey dovey cards i was sifting through yesterday.

On the political front check out www.mccainblogette.com it is the blog of John McCain's Daughter Meghan. While i haven't decided who gets my vote in the Fall as i am still waiting for Obama and Clinton to duke it out to the finish, i find Meghan's 23 year old view point of the campaign trial fun and enjoy her music playlists.

The Title of this Blog

Costco

As we were driving on the freeway Friday night little guy proudly announced: "Big Costco Truck!" We looked over and sure enough a huge Costco truck was driving up into the lane next to us.
My son already is identifying logos! Yikes! and kind of cool.

Calling all Mom's - Check this out

A co worker turned me on to Lisa Bearnson's scrapping site. She sells these awesome kits of the month for journals, card making, scrap stuff, you name it.

They had a really popular kit sell out a few months ago and they are bringing it back in June. Pre-order now!

It's called the School Years Kit and it is awesome. It has pages and a folder for preschool through high school just waiting for all the art projects, report cards and pictures to go in it.

Oh how does your garden grow

Spring is here in my part of the country and for those of you glaring at the hard snow covered ground and hoping you can melt the ice with your spring thoughts I am sending warm wishes your way.

I haven't done much in my yard this spring. About a month ago we had a weeding party and three of us cleared the yard of all the pesky weeds. THEN IT RAINED. And within a week they were all back. Hello? I pulled them all out down to the roots and after one good rain - poof - it was as though we hadn't touched the yard in a year.

E thinks pulling weeds is a fun game. Hopes those feelings remain in about 12 years when it will be his turn!

I have tried for several years to grow strawberries and tomatoes and both don't like me. The strawberries never seem to mature or taste good, even though i give them fresh good soil to grow in and the tomatoes took on a life of their own and just turned into a giant 8 foot bush.

Our only fruiting plant this year is our lemon tree. We planted it a few years ago and it is finally blooming. I am crossing my fingers that we will have fresh lemons this summer!!

My mom has the greatest yard that always looks so perfect. And i know the reason that my yard doesn't look that good is she tends to it everyday. Everyday. That's a commitment i just can't make. Maybe in a few decades when the babes are out of the house.

Ok. enough about the garden. To those of you with greener thumbs than I - have a great spring.
