Apple

Apparently last night he left a bag out in the living room with an apple that he had been carrying around for days.
Wyatt found the apple and acted as though he had found a pot of gold! He was thrilled!
Unlike daddy, he ate it!!

Don't get me wrong, I like my "real" job but it's just a job. The kids are sometimes fun, but sometimes they spit... and they always keep me from my own kids.
Opening a real life store is a bit daunting so I decided to start with an online store. There are many fun fabrics that you cannot just go to Joann's or Hobby Lobby and purchase...they have to be purchased online or at a specialty store. So, I saved my pennies, bought a bunch of it wholesale and started a website. It's been a long process and I'm still not completely happy with the website (what Oprah forgot to mention is that following your passion is time consuming and nearly impossible when you have 3 kids), but the site is up and running!! No orders yet, but I haven't really done much marketing. So far I have fabric, yarn and patterns which I just got in today.
The store also links to another blog I have created for crafty things only. Even though my kids are supercute and this blog is superfun, I figured I better keep the crafty from the kids and the kids from the crafty as to not annoy anyone.
All that to say: TADA!!!

Then, today as the temperatures rose even higher (It's like AFRICA hot) we were lucky enough to get a tip that it's free SLURPEE day at 7-11. Wyatt was quite pleased with this discovery!!
Decoration

Almost immediately a guy my age walked up to introduce himself. His name was Mark, but for a good hour I thought it was "Mac." He had a strong New Zealand accent and I'm sure he immediately saw my brain searching the globe trying to figure out where this crazy country was. We immediately hit it off and he told me about some friends that were coming the next day. Mark and I hung out that day and the following day he introduced me to his "mate" Graham. I spent the entirety of my trip with these foreigners and it was truly some of the most fun I had ever had in my life. The night of the 14th we were at an outside bar, someone said something funny and I turned to look at Graham. Our eyes met for a very brief second, but I knew it was all over. This was my husband. Yes, it is corny..but it is true.
Three years later, on May 31, Graham and I wed at the Little Chapel of the West in Las Vegas. We were surrounded by our family and closest friends. Including our Maid of Honor, whose wedding I was attending in Hawaii when I met Graham, and our best man, "Mac."
Today is the 6th year anniversary of that day in Vegas. The plan was to go to the Melting Pot for a romantic dinner alone and I was really looking forward to it. However, being that men are men and women are women, there were some mixed messages and this plan wasn't perfectly executed. So instead we headed to Macaroni Grill for a not-so-romantic dinner. My disappointment in the original plan disappeared after approximately 3/4 of a glass of wine and when at one point Lucy turned to me and said "Mommy, I'm so glad that we are 'decorating' your anniversary."
So after Wyatt poured an entire glass of water on himself, Lucy cried because she didn't want to get out of the car because she was too tired, and Graham and I sat on opposite sides of the table with 3 children in the middle, we completed yet another year of wedlock.

So baby girl, it may not be perfect, but get ready because the 5 of us will be decorating many more anniversaries together.
