from two minutes ago:

saturday morning. the garden went up.

jeffs momma is coming over today to take the kids for us so we can go out and have some time alooOOOooooone. we might just forget to come back. i dont know. contemplating. ;)

tomorrow-i am SUPER excited because kim heffington and her family are driving into san diego and we are meeting up to do a family photo swap. we are going back to the balboa fun zone and taking shots of each others families. should be interesting, crazy, and FUN. cant wait to post what we get!!

and im sitting here, in the sunshine, the kids are up playing in the garage…ummm not sure what they are up to….jeff is snoring away….and my day is in front of me. good feeling this morning. good feeling.

we like photo booth.

random stuff in my head:

been working this week on being a good momma, some deadlines, and some 2peas stuff. and laundry. but do i really have to say that? its a given.

i got some new tank tops (singlets for you aussie readers) and a new bathingsuit from Modbe this week. love the quality of the tops, and that they are so long-for a tall lady such as myself. the bathing suit is awesome too. a long tankini top that easily covers my belly. i also love the website-LOVE the colors and the illustrations. very inspiring. the owner told me that the designer from the scrapworks ethan kate collection is their web designer. love it.

speaking of web design, im pretty sure i found the designer for my photography website. i will still be keeping up with my blog, but i really feel the need for something more profesh as well.

i am now the owner of an iMac!!!!! my uncle michael gave it to us at mckennas party. so thoughtful and generous, that guy. but this house is total anti apple (well jeff is) and so this is a big step. havent worked on an apple computer since elementary school in the computer lab. i have no idea what im doing. but ill tell you this much-the 20 inch widescreen is rocking my world. im sure ill be following in cathy’s footsteps and posting crazy alien faces of my family soon enough….

my new favorite place to shop online: alloy. hip stuff that isnt too expensive. and they have big girl sizes.

i am struggling with how to entertain my kids during the day, without letting them depend too much on video games and TV. we have two new rules. TV off at 9am and video games only during naptime. this is a huge step at our house. i would love to hear how you guys entertain your kids without having to be on top of them to help with an activity. games around and inside the house are best for us. help me! i have never been a "play with my kids" kinda mom, and i dont really plan to start, but i feel like i need to teach them better ways to spend their time. i really want to make an effort to cure total technology zombie-heads. bring some magic back into their lives.
