House Tornado

How is it that a 14 month old can do so much damage to my living space within the span of 15 minutes? How is it even possible that this little 20lb, 26" baby could have enough strength and motivation to completely and i mean COMPLETELY take everything out of every cupboard and drawer within her tiny reach?
And how is it that less than 15 minutes of work for her turns into 3-4 hours of work for me to get it all back so she can do it again tomorrow?

I guess it makes her happy at least, so, i'll quit wondering and go start cleaning it all up again for tomorrow.

oh yeah, she's climbing on EVERYTHING now too...

fun... real fun.

promised mini post

she looks so chub in this picture! i love it!

Zoey has TEETH! Finally after a long road of thinking she was teething since she was 3 months old, she delivered!
Her two bottom teeth broke through last week after several sleepless nights and a low grade fever. I'm happy we dont have to cut them out with razorblades or anything! (we were getting desperate!)
She also has started asking for bananas whenever she is hungry, even if she doesnt want one. She eats so many of them that i think she just thinks that all food is refered to as bananas and all things fuzzy or loveable are refered to as "dougy".

Teeth!

Due to a very cranky toddler and a husband that has had a very nice amount of time off lately, i have been neglecting this blog.

i will be posting a year in review this week, i am going to work hard to make it happen.

i will also be starting to write even just a tiny post every day on what our family is up to, even if you dont care at all.

lots of love!

danielle, zoey and bean!

losing days

i've been having a hard time keeping up with life lately. i hear thats normal when pregnant while taking care of a 1 year old.

i'm starting to get those panicky nesting urges but its still too far out to do anything i really want to do. like wash all the baby clothes and teeny tiny diapers. i'll just have to wash them all again if i do it now. maybe i'll sort everything and that will help the itch.

please give me easy recipies i can make and freeze before the new baby comes, i'm freaking a little about food ideas.

i am once again going to re do part of the house. i hate our living room right now. it's our office right now and i want it to be more cozy and living room like. we are going to take the desks out and get a hide away desk for me to put in my corner and maybe a collapsable drafting table for craig incase he wants to take a painting home. also, super exciting we have decided on a couch! revolutionary!

so now i need to find a way to get lots and lots of money so i can make all these dreams come true. anyone want to make a donation?

lots of projects i want to start but i just stall out, i have no energy for anything other than survival right now, super dissapointing to me right now. i have two soakers for the new baby that need to be finished that just sit at my desk staring angry at me and all i can do is try to avoid them all day, every day. not to mention the sewing binder and knitting binder that havent been opened in months. months! i hate it!

ugh... someday.

here's some pictures, use your imagination for what happend.

SOOOO TIRED.

have i named a title that yet? because that is how i have felt the last few weeks.

like i can barely keep my eyes open.

sorry about not blogging, i have been trying to cut down my internet time and i have been neglecting a few things on here. i need to prioritize.

i will try to get pictures up from the party over the next few days, it was fun and hilarious and i love my friends and family.

speaking of family, a bunch came over last night, for food and catching up. it was wonderful to have so many of my favorite people in my house, i felt so grown up! even though i had to break out the folding chairs to accommodate everyone!

so my next goal is pictures, one step at a time

lots of love
