this time around...

I'm a bargain shopper---

OK, I did some bargain shopping with Ezra too.. but I hadn't even discovered CraigsList then! The other day I went to a garage sale and found a NoJo baby sling in great condition- total paid $2.00. I figure if we're not a fan then I'll resell it. Ezra lived in the 'baby bjorn' but I figured I could give this a try too. Other items I'm on the search for..

-High Chair (Ezra still uses the booster we've always had for him.)
-Swing (We ended up returning ours to the manufacturer because it was nooo good.)
-Bouncy Seat (I'd like a different one than I had with E.)
-Most likely a new room set for Ezra- Bed, dresser ect. The baby will use Ezra's old furniture.. still thinking this one through.


I would LOVE to wait until the birth to find out the gender of the baby.. but how in the WORLD would I decorate the nursery? Of coarse if it's a girl.. I want to deck it out in all things girley!!?

And the question I know you're all wondering.. ;) WHY HAS MY BLOG BEEN SO NEGLECTED? My Dad came in for a visit for the past week.. plus I've been using my laptop.. and I do all my pictures on our PC.. I just hate posting blog after blog without pictures.. so one of these days I'll get my act together and get some pictures on here.

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY
TO MY SISTER
JENNA!!!!!

Jenna- I can't believe you're 21!!! Can't wait to celebrate tonight at Bucca De Beppo's!!! I hope this is your best year ever!!! I LOVE YOU!

I've finally got something to say!

Some of you know.. but I want to officially announce that I am pregnant with baby number 2!!! I'm almost 12 weeks along and due December 10th. We're so excited! Ezra and the baby will be just shy of 2 1/2 years apart. Ezra already says 'Baby, Mommy tummy' and kisses it and says 'Hi'. He's going to be a great big brother. I've had two ultrasounds already.. and everything looks great! Yay.. now I can get back to my blogging days.. all I've had to say is 'Hey.. I'm having a baby!'

He'll eventually get it out...

I had a great Mother's Day this year. One of the absolute highlights was this sweet little boy. By the time I taped this he'd been asked to say it a million times. But he was so sweet and calm .. like a little angel the first few times he wished me a "Happy Mother's Day!"

BioME5

I love this line. BioME5 carries organic kids apparel. You buy the letter that coordinates with your child's initial. My sister bought Ezra the shirt below for Christmas. He loves it! I was browsing there site and noticed that the long sleeved tee's are marked down from $36 to $12!! Just thought I'd pass along a good deal!

What has Ezra- (the 22 month old) been up to?!

*says 'Goo Moning' (Good Morning)
*loves being outside.
*blames his toots on Daddy. He toots and then says 'Daddy toot!' (Even when Daddy's at work.)
*says 'pay minute' usually said when he isn't ready to go to bed. This was birthed from me saying 'Ok, you can play a couple more minutes!'
*says 'yes ma'am' even to Daddy..and when other kids are grumbling he looks at them and loudly bursts out 'YES MA'AM' as if telling them to be polite.
*LOVES CURIOUS GEORGE. Asks to watch it about 46 times a day!!
*Is a total Daddy's boy.
*after a nap, I asked him if he had any dreams he said 'ribbit' so I said 'ribbit or rabbit?' and he said 'peter rabbit' :)
*holds his hands together when praying for our food.
*has spent a LOT of time in Time-Out recently. Seriously.. good thing he is so cute.
OH and how could I forget
*'eat honey' this is what my son says when he's hungry it means 'eat hungry' Haha.

we LOVE this little boy.

what to do with a weekend that has only rain and thunderstorms in the forecast?

-a trip to gymboree
-a long over due deep cleaning of our room
-a trip to the grocery store
-a fun craft project using onesies, rubber stamps and fabric paint
-dusting
-and perhaps a movie with my main squeeze

Hopefully today is no indication of the weekend to come. It is so nasty outside. If you were to even step foot out there for one second you'd be drenched. My oh my. Oh.. and happy MAY DAY.
