SOUND IT OUT!!!

DO YOU HAVE IT?

I DO!!!!!

LOTS OF IT!!!

But putting it to good use is like pulling teeth for me, I have ideas coming out of my ears- I love to do all things creative!
My problem is I never make anything for myself, and usually its a one time deal! I made a great canvas thing for my friend Melanie, I then made one for my friend Amy when her third babe was born- all I can say is "I WANT MY OWN" but next on the list is Miss Rachel!! She just bought a new house and what better to give than a home made, hand crafted, deligthfully fun canvas made by yours truly?
Anyway, I think I need to "get crafty" on myself and enjoy some of my TALENT!!!

I did buy new kitchen rugs today....does that count?

happy st. pattys day

no cabbage soup for us but we do have our greens on!!! Zoe got new jammies and wont take them off- at least they are green!!!!

hope you get lucky today!!

The babies~

Well I thought I wouls give a quick update on the two Meenach girls!!
Lets start with Zoe.
Things are great with her and she is growing so fast, she is amazing me everyday with questions and her memory- she truly is a sponge! She is loving how she can find things that match and tells us so. She is really into having tea parties with her princess tea set that she got for "losing the pacifier!"
She is growing too, I think we are up to 26 pounds!!
Everytime she sees something in the store she tells us she wants it for her bday, we went shopping for a friend this weekend and instead of picking something out for him she wanted it! Her favorite word right now is "everytime" she uses it for a filler, its hilarious!
She is doing better at swim lessons but wishes she could be in class again with daddy!
She loves her princess clothes still and I cant keep her dressed for the life of me. She loves putting hair bows in (my hair) and brushing my hair....now if I could only get some hair bows in her hair!
I think that is about it!

Miss Hannah on the other hand is growing, growing!! My non snuggler is now sitting up and eating baby food. We are on a regular schedule of dinner but have just started breakfast too, a little rice cereal and fruit! She loves to eat and I feel we are finally (after 7 months) on a pretty good sleeping schedule YEAH!!!
She is sooooo animated (like her sister) and is saying MAMAMAMAMAMA.....I know it doesnt really count yet (but I can pretend!!)
Life is going great and Zach is doing great in school, we are all ready for Spring and cant wait to finish up our ugly hill outside!
I cant think of anything right now of course but I thought Id share a little on how great the girls are doing!
We have a fun spring a head of us and cant wait to get started!

I think I can

so I went to the mall yesterday and as I was walking in this really cute girl was walking toward me. She looked so cute with a hat a fleece, jeans and her flip flops. WOW I thought I wish I dressed like her, and to my suprise, as she got closer I realized that every article of clothing she had on I own!!!!!
So I think I am going to try and COPY this girl because she was so cute, and polite (she held the door open for me and the double!!!)
Anyway, heres to you cute, hip chick I THINK I CAN TOO!!!!

FINALLY

I guess I dont know where to start, Ive been trying to download these pictures since Monday and just had the luck today!!
It was a very interesting day, it started out beautiful and then as you can see in my pictures a freak storm hit, the sun came out again and then we woke up Tuesday with snow!

yes this is a pile of hail from only a matter of minutes!

On another note it has been a very stressful and long week, Ill be glad when the weekend hits and we can start a new Monday!

We had swim lessons last night and Im not sure if I have mentioned but we have a new teacher. The old one (the one we had for just one lesson Teacher Shelbey) found out she was allergic to chlorine- interesting you say. I figured if you were a swim teacher you would know something like that!
Anyway, we now have Teacher Josh and apparently Zoe "doesnt like teacher Josh, I like mommy and daddy, and Hannah and Bruizer!"

Well so we went to class last night and since she did not nap all day it was inevitable that she feel asleep on the way there!!

Well that little cat nap was great because she did so good at class that I was shocked!! After class while I did parent tot with Hannah Zach hopped in and swam with Zoe for some one on one time- much needed!

But the happiness didnt last too long because last night my daughter mustve played with my alarm clock because at 1200pm it went off. We were listening to some cds in Hannahs room and her little cd player alarm went off at 200am. Then Hannah was up for feeding time at 330 am and Zoe came in at 630 am and Hannah woke up at 715 am!!! It was a wonderful night! But before that even happened Zoe had the tantrums of all tantrums because she didnt want to put her sock on- Zach and I teatered back and forth with her in and out of her room and it took him sitting next to her, counting to 100 and rubbing her hair for her to finally fall asleep- WOWZER

Then preschool this morning, Zoe had her time with her little friends (including birthday cupcakes for Kael) and mommy had some much needed time with Miss Rachel at a craftstore and Target!!

All and all a good day, Ill be glad when the kids hit bed and I can find my pillow and shut my eyes!

Heres to the weekend

here fishy fishy

So we got Harry a new fish tank this weekend, not only was Zach noticing he needed one but so did everyone who came to visit!
We put it on the dresser for safty purposes and here is Zoe with her stool talking to Harry.

She was so excited becuase we told her we would get Harry a couple of brothers!

So yesterday we went to the store..

"bye Harry, we get you a brother K?" she yells

We get to Petco and pick out two fish, peanut butter and jelly!

Well as you can see in this picture, only Jelly made it, I found peanut butter lying on the bottom of the tank this morning-

odd because I thought they floated to the top, but whatever

Zoe loves her new fish tank and is so happy that Harry has a new sister!

Oh and couldnt resist a picture of the gold fish box, that Zoe was eating while watching the goldfish!!

too much fun

Okay, so here is the proof that Miss Hannah always has her pacifier in upside down..its too funny, I think she prefers it this way!!

Okay, so the other day I told Zoe she could drive her jeep to the mailbox but she had to get socks on, well she found her leggings instead!

Here is the final product!

With her new shoes from Great Gram Dee too!
