Wednesday Twelve

So not exactly the same ring as "Tuesday Twelve", but it works!

1. We went to Nissan Family Day on Saturday. David and Henry had been asking all year when we could go to "the carnibal at Daddy's work". And when I say all year, I'm not exaggerating.2. David's favorite thing was the train. Shocker. And the bounce stuff, but his "big favorite" was the train.

3. Jack's favorite activity was riding in the wagon like a big boy, people watching, and clapping.

4. Speaking of Jack, the child is hot on Henry's heels to see how much he can get into and how quickly it can be done. Check out the look on his face -- he's totally thinking, "What are YOU looking at?" He also has four teeth, claps, and is trying really hard to wave. He's doing a weird yoga sort of walk/crawl and he's dying to get upright. Soon, I'm sure.

5. Are you kidding that I still can't say no to cakes?! I did this one over the weekend.

6. Project Runway season finale is tonight. I want to cry.

7. We made our first apple crisp of the season today. It was so-so. It was a recipe I hadn't used before. I won't be using it again.

8. I also made this cake last weekend for my mom's birthday.

9. We have all of our babysitting arrangements made for when I start working full-time in November, and I'm so relieved. The people we've hired are so great and the boys LOVE them.

10. David and Henry went to a softball game with one of our sitters on Monday night and had so much fun. They also had their first slushies, which Henry keeps calling a "flushy". I love it.

11. We're going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow afternoon. Shhh, don't tell my children.

12. I had a sip of beer this weekend. I was never a HUGE drinker, but haven't been at all since I was pregnant with David five years ago. I liked beer? It was pretty gross this weekend.

Tuesday 12

Coming tomorrow. . . I realize that will make it a Wednesday 12. Live with it. It will be here tomorrow. Pinky swear.

What time is it?????

Please explain to me why I'm doing laundry at 2 in the morning? I need some sort of sleep aid. I am incapable of sleeping for more than 5 hours, no matter how hard I try. Trust me, I'm really, really trying.

Did you see The Real Housewives of ATL? Oh Nene ....put those goodies away Nene. And Kim didn't want to change her clothes in a Shell station bathroom because she might catch germs, but she was fine doing it outside of her car in the damn parking lot with a camera crew? Oh right, because the only thing she'll catch there is attention!

Can we Talk?

About Bravo TV, that is. . .

First, I love me some Project Runway. LOVE. IT. Do you watch? Of the four finalists, Kenley has been my fav since the start. However, I think that's changed. Why? Because she's a whiny brat. She has a bad attitude, is too defensive, and is a WHIN-ER. Korto nailed it when she said that when Kenley acts ugly it makes her designs ugly. Korto is my new favorita. Jerell is OK -- his stuff is growing on me as the season goes on. He's more high fashion than I like. I'm more of a ready to wear girl. And please, let's talk about Leanne. If ever there was a girl who was in need of a mood altering drug. . . she is so blah, blah, blah and has such a monotone voice and sad face all the time, she makes me want to take an upper. I couldn't spend any amount of time with her without hurting myself.

Next, Tabitha's Salon Takeover season finale is this week. Please, tell me this show will be continued next season??

Also, The Real Housewives of Atlanta starts (I think) this week. I. Can't. Wait.

Finally, Top Chef New York starts in November. Seriously, this channel ruins my bedtime. Since I don't have Tivo, I have to watch when the shows are on. And I'm not getting Tivo. You know, because I don't watch TV. . .

Is it a Sign?

A sign that my children watch too much television, that is, when Henry tells me that they went to "Chick-fil-Odeon with Gigi for lunch. You know, like the channel that Spongebob is on?" Um, that would ne NICKelodeon. I'm going with yes, they watch too much.

FORE!

A golf cake I made for a little girl's 10th birthday. As my husband said, "It's a hole in one!"

A Day in the Life

Lest you think my life is full of extravegance and perfection. . . Listen to the audio on this very poor quality video. It's so typical of our days.
