Soccer!

Eli and Oli had their first game yesterday. It was So cute! Eli got it, in fact he was so good that he could pick his nose while chasing after the ball. Ha-ha. Oli on the other hand was in his own world, we predicted right. Only, not only was he in his own world but he kept doing these dramatic falls, sometimes in the middle of a play, and tackling other kids. He wasn't doing it to me mean, he's just a weirdo. It's hard to explain the way he randomly chose to hang on other children and make them fall down, or just run into them. Honestly, I don't condone him hurting other children in any way, but it was really funny/strange.

I'm counting this as yesterdays post. I'm not cheating. I make up the rules. :)

Tribute.

It's a cryin-shame that I didn't post yesterday. I inserted cryin cause I hate the word "shame". For shame. You should be ashamed of yourself. That's a shame. That's a real shame. I don't know for some reason that word makes my blood boil. Yeah, so anyways.  Yesterday I actually did something blog worthy. I hung out with my amazingly talented sister in law, Linda. She is the queen of all things domestic and crafty. Obviously, we did crafts, and she showed me some of her party puff making ways. Two things I admire most about Linda:

1. She is completely and totally focused on details. (Something I struggle with)
2. She is completely and totally modest about her awesomeness. (Also, something I struggle with)


For selfish reasons I want her to go into business as a party planner or something of the sort. Mainly so I can be her assistant and sample all the food.
A couple weeks ago she was like, "Steph, can I help you throw Luci's birthday party? I have all this stuff and ideas for it." Uhm, yes, yes you can. So that's what we were working on. I hope she isn't onry at me for posting this, she doesn't like this kind of attention. But I had to pay tribute.

I forgot.

You knew it was coming. Honestly, I thought it would be here sooner. But guess what? I thought of a game. If I forget to post, I have to post a joke the next day, plus a normal post. K, here goes, this one is by Lewis Black..


We came up with Earth Day so we would have one day every year that would remind us what planet we were living on.

This made me laugh. :)

My sparkling little girl.

Luci loves lotions and nail polishes and hairspray and perfume. She is a girl to be sure. This morning she added desitin to her morning routine.

The Horror...

First I screamed bloody-murder. Then I fell on the ground and I wept. The kids thought it was hilarious.. I did not.

Oli decided the living room rug needed something else.

I love rainy days!!

I love them so much. Especially in between sunny days. I have been giddy all day. That might just be the diet coke though. :)  We decided that it might be fun to "bowl" in the front hall way today. It was fun for about five minutes and then Luci decided that it was funnest to knock the cups over the second Eli and I got them up, and then laugh her head off. She thinks she's way funny. Seriously, she entertains herself.

 Then I was like. Oh yeah, I should do something to blog about. So I did this.

The blog thing might be a good thing for me. I might just finish all my projects that I have started and then abandoned. I can't very well start something and leave it unfinished and post it. Hmmm, finishing projects, this will be new for me. :)

This dresser in Luci's room has been begging me to paint it yellow. So today I said, "today's the day you will be made yellow."
As I was getting the paint and stuff ready to paint it, the ceiling at the top of the stairs said, "Hey! What about me? I've been like this for like five months!" It's actually been more like six, but I didn't say anything. This is the wall that spoke to me.

I said, "but blue wall, you're so scary and tall!" He was and didn't say anything else. 

Then I heard another voice. It was the wall behind the computer upstairs. "Paint me! Paint me!" He said. "I'm not scary and tall!" I said, "we'll see." I heard green wall mumble some curse words. 

I got to work on the dresser. I dumped out all the clothes into a corner and took out the drawers. Luci thought it was pretty fun. Her hair looks like that because she had just returned from a motorcycle ride.

I painted.

And then I waited. And while I waited I painted the green wall. And he was happy.

Oh, dresser, I do like you yellow!

Luci's room makes me happy. I wish that it was acceptable for an adult woman to have this color in her room.

Blue wall is still mad at me. He'll have to wait though because finishing him truly makes me fear for my life.
