it feels like there is a lot going on and not much all at the same time...do you ever feel that way? we are getting ready to go on a trip...all the daily stuff still has to be done...don't want to go to the grocery store because we'll be leaving soon so meals are getting interesting...i feel like i want to sew but get way tired at night so the list gets longer...you know the drill...

ethan found part of a bird egg outside one day...i wonder if it was from one of the birds from the nest in our tree...

blake fell asleep in the car today...i thought bringing him in and laying him on the ground might help him wake up...uh...apparently not! bless the third child (and the fourth!)

as a younger person, i collected a lot of things...stickers being one of them. the kids found some of the stickers one day and in the box with them were blank bookmarks...so a decorating of bookmarks party ensued. my favorite part is that blake is sitting right in the middle of it all! cuties.

every time i am having a baby it is during the summer (in AZ people, come on! what bad planning huh?) and every time i say to myself and out loud that THIS pregnancy needs to be a "skirt pregnancy" well this time, it totally is! i found this tutorial and i made one up this last week, i love it! it's comfortable and i think it will be very nice after the un-named baby is here as well! this knit has a silvery thread running through it, i am kind of in love with it! i got the fabric at SAS in Tempe...cheap and good!

it has a soft waistband (i have a skirt from target made in this same vein and i was wanting to make one like it and so i was SO happy when i saw this tutorial! awesome!) don't mind the trashcan...i'm just keeping it real here folks!

this baby has hardly any belly shots so i thought i'd take one at 27 weeks...
