did i mention i'm blonde?

i often do dumb things. whenever i do, i just blame it on being blonde. the latest? we were getting ready to go to disneyland (by the way, i've discovered that disneyland on a holiday is awesome! this summer we went on both memorial & labor day and the park was practically empty. i don't know why... maybe it was the heat, or everyone was scared of the holiday crowds, but walked on every ride!) anyway, back to my story... the kids were strapped in the car when i remembered that the tires on the stroller were a little low on air. so we got it out, pumped up the tires & got on our way. halfway to disneyland we realized we forgot to put the stroller BACK in the car. so we had to flip around and pick it up. seriously, i must have the shortest attention span. how did i forget the stroller i had just been working on?

pumpkins & ghosts, oh my!

halloween is just around the corner. lucky for me i found the fabric for this cute quilt already cut! with the hard part out of the way, all i had to do was sew this puppy together & send it off to be quilted! easy as pumpkin pie!

in case you were wondering

the ink from gel pens rubs easily off a leather chair. at least it did this morning, after gavin created his masterpiece. too bad it didn't go with our decor & i had to clean it up.

and the winner is...

something i wouldn't recommend:

making the long trek from utah to california when both kids are sick & one is teething. no matter how late you leave, it isn't going to be a fun trip... just in case you were thinking about it.
