March is winding down......

The excitement is on overload!
The king, he was buried......
O couldn't stop looking back at The King
O, still mesmerized......
listening to a story while the kids could paint freely
J enjoyed the painting.... O enjoyed the lemonade.... ; )
J behind the camera.... ahhh following in his momma's footsteps????
sharing a caramel apple
there's the pose- check it out..... it's Maxine's pose!! all O on his own!!!!

Wow- what a great weekend- the weather has been great- 70's, sunny with a little breeze.

This month is winding down, and can't believe how fast it went!! We went out to the far east valley this weekend to Gold Canyon ( yes, the place where the candles came from) and went to the Renaissance Festival with the boys

It was fun and I loved seeing "all the characters" there

The boys took it all in and O, was a little overwhelmed at first looking around the artisan market, the music, and the people dressed up and talking to them- in their 'renaissance way'
I particularly enjoyed being called " my lady" LOL

Today, we are recuperating from the walking, fresh air and the sun and taking it easy ~

Enjoy ~

What we are up to

We have been so busy lately...... it has been non stop

So many things coming up- we are looking to move soon and are in the process of looking for places.... J's B day is coming up and trying to see if we are going to have a party for him with some school friends????
He just went to a really cool place in Tempe over Spring Break called Pump it Up- an indoor bouncy house place- and one of the rooms they were in- was the Glow in the Dark rooms with strobe lights and with glow necklaces/ bracelets- pretty cool - the kids had so much fun!! Reminded me of my younger years- except there wasn't any "House Music" haha!!!
J ,I think, has decided he wants his party at Makutu's Island- but I am waiting to hear on availability...
I have found out - as soon as I get into a new place- I can work from home YEA!!!!! I am so excited- the commuted drags and makes for long days- even though my office isn't that far away- ugh- 101!!!!
Oh well- I am thankful I have a job- it seems so many people here are still struggling.

I was able to actual MAKE time for scrapbooking!! It was fun- I need to catch up-but I actual made some progress. I do need to get more markers- seems mine are all dried up!! haha!!

things I am working on:

-paper work- I am in knee deep of this crap- I need to have a massive shredding or burning day

-party invites- need this out- yesterday

-365 photo a day- I need to catch up

-may need to purchase washer/dryer- need to research decent brands

-picture taking- always

-enjoying my Keen shoulder bag- smaller than the Haiku- but still hands free

-coffee- I am a junkie- I have been trying to give it up- I can't....... work on this

-flip flops= some kind of pedicure- even if this means me doing it-

-working down my pile of magazines to read- Oprah ( from E), Sunset, Creative Keepsakes,
Body and Soul a couple Rolling Stone- never enough time

-walking at work during my breaks- it's the only time I have been managing some sort of exercise- this has to change.....

-hand/foot print canvas of the boys
Gotta go!

Happy St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patricks Day


The Leprechaun visited our place today, he tipped over a chair, put Jake's jacket in the dirty laundry basket, left a hand towel on the floor and left some little goodies for J and O. Some cool glasses, pencils and Shamrock straws........ he is so clever....... we think he came in through the hole in one of our window screens.....

Here are our little Leprechauns!
