some photos and a challenge...

First the photos...

Day 22
My poor girlie -so sick today. As I write this she is sleeping on the couch and High School Musical is on the TV. She even knows the names of the characters! And she's only THREE! Clearly we have an older girl in the house too.

Day 21
I LOVE this far too much. I would like to have one every single morning if I could justify it. Unfortunately, I prefer them from Starbucks and don't really enjoy the mix you can buy and make at home.

Day 20
Took him to the zoo the other day (his first trip). It was nice and warm so it was quite enjoyable although a fairly rushed trip in order to get home for naptime.

Now for the challenge...I think I'm supposed to write 16 random facts about myself.

1. I hate cleaning the floors. If you stop by my house on any given day you'd likely be disgusted at the state of my floors because I rarely sweep or mop. Yeah, I know that is gross but it is my least favorite chore to do. I'd rather clean a toilet. Except my husbands.

2. I love having the house to myself. My favorite is an empty house at night because then I don't feel guilty for not getting things accomplished and can have guilt-free alone time.

3. I want to take a photography class. I have a nice camera that I got for my birthday and I don't know how to use it except on automatic so I'd love to take a class to learn how to take really good photos.

4. I consider doing my hair and make-up a "necessary evil." I hate how long it takes to straighten my kind-of curly hair (when left to its own devices it looks like I just got a bad perm) and then doing makeup after that just bores me to tears. Unfortunately I wasn't blessed with the kind of looks that requires no make-up, so on it goes.

5. My love for organization far outweighs the effort I put into being organized. One day I SWEAR I will be...

6. I have a heck of a time making decisions regarding the design of my own house, but find it so easy to make decisions on the design of other peoples houses.

7. I feel guilty spending money on myself. Whether it is clothes, furniture, kitchen appliances, etc. I almost always have buyers remorse.

8. I could eat snacks or appetizers pretty much every single day instead of big meals. I love snacks.

9. I don't drink nearly enough water. I miss how much I craved water when I was pregnant.

10. I love her. I still think its the neatest thing that we are really good friends.

11. I shave my big toe. Well, both actually.

12. I really want to take my kids to some exotic locations such as Africa, China...places like that so they can see how other people live and hopefully feel grateful for all we have.

13. I'm really blessed to be good friends with my Mom.

14. My new favorite jeans are Lucky Brand.

15. Having all the laundry done is one of my favorite things.

16. Even though I have about 4 years to go, if my plan to go on a trip with my girlfriends works out, I can't wait for my 40th birthday. Not the number so much, but the trip.
