hi there

Can you see those two little toofers? Yep, those (and the four on the top that you can't see) are what has been giving me early gray hairs for the past couple of weeks! That's a major reason I've been MIA here as well.

What have we been up to lately? Well, this past weekend we took a nice little walk around our neighborhood and had a lovely time. We've also been busy running errands,

setting up a tent in our living room,

(and yes, this is an older picture because I haven't taken any of the tent today. but it's still the same tent and boy, just imagine shorter hair, lol!)

taking pictures of my little crazies,

celebrating a dear friend's birthday,

learning how to clap,

and just generally having a good time. I've also been working on getting some inspiration for decorating the house a little more. I am just lazy and need to get my butt in gear and do it! And for cheap! :) I love the whole DIY idea, and I follow a few blogs that embrace this thinking. It's fun to see the before and after photos. Maybe one of these days I'll have some to share.

Anyways, I'm off this weekend on a roadtrip to Utah with my two best boys (they hubby has to work, boo!) and I'm going to be soaking in the FALL they're having up there. I'm a tad bit jealous, but I'll keep it to myself. Maybe one day we'll live somewhere where the leaves actually change! And I don't mean in January! :)
