I've been researching things to do with the kids over the summer and I think I finally have a winner.

I love me some bad TV and one of my new favorite obsessions is Extreme Couponing. I mean, who doesn't want 104 bags of croutons for a dollar? A DOLLAR! So, I promptly bought a newspaper on Sunday and clipped my coupons (which, by the way, I now pronounce "Koo-pons" instead of "Q-pons") and planned my first outing. If you don't have a CVS, you should be really really sad. I went there today and my haul makes me very very happy! I didn't get 104 bags of croutons but I did get the following: 2 tubes of toothpaste, 2 body washes, a razor and Tide stain remover. Guess how much I paid? A DOLLAR!

So, over the summer, my lovely assistants and I are going to play a game called "Adventures in Free Shit" (although, I guess I should call it "Stuff" in front of said lovely assistants). It's not exactly a summer vacay in Disneyland but it will get us out of the house.

I ordered these tags on Etsy a couple of weeks ago and they make me ridiculously happy...about as happy as the new owner of this purse is going to be.

When Christian said he wanted to play soccer, I was a little apprehensive. He is definitely the type of kid who is more likely to read a book about soccer, rather than actually play it. He totally proved me wrong though! He absolutely loves it and is totally into the game. He has a passion for the goalie position, which is 99% motivated by the fact that he doesn't have to run up and down the field...he's pretty good at it though!

Pictures like this one never cease to crack me up! Hellllloooo gigantor!



You could pick chicken out of your teeth with those skinny arms.


After Saturday's game, Wyatt gave him a nice cool down!


Number 3 of 3 is 3

And, if that isn't enough for you, I found out about him in the month that I turned 33 and Lucy turned 3. It's a good number...3.




Wyatt had to share his birthday this year with Easter, which really meant nothing more than an increase in chocolate!

We will chalk this one up to another great idea that fell flat! I wanted to make Wyatt a shirt for his big day on Sunday so and what I envisioned was much grander than this:





However, after struggling with software and my machine all day...this will have to do. The three turned out ok, but the "Wyatt" is not looking so hot.

I am saving my pennies for a commercial machine However...it's a lot of pennies and OH, wouldn't you know it, our a/c totally crapped out today. Someday...someday.

I've been sick all week with strep throat. EEK! So the kids have been going a little stir crazy, locked up with a crabby, sick, old lady. Today, Lucy and Wyatt decided to get a little exercise.

When I saw this pattern, I just knew I had to make this dress. Unfortunately, I haven't known anyone having a girl recently. Then I found out a friend from Grad school was having a baby girl and I knew exactly what to do!

There is nothing I don't love about this dress. Which you probably aren't supposed to say when you are the person who made it, but whatever...I'm not exactly known for my modesty.
