some things i've said lately.

all addressed to my 2 year old, as if that needed to be said.

"please take your foot out of the popcorn bowl."

"please don't put your corn in daddy's water cup."

"quit licking the mirror please."

"please don't poke your brother's eyes."

"get your fingers out of the toaster please."

"where did you hide mommy's money?"

"you need to wear pants."

so, i broke down and bought her one of those glorified child leashes, you know the ones that are disguised as monkey backpacks to make us feel less guilty about putting a leash on our kid...

yep, i'm that mom. ugh.

my cousin heather invited us to the jimmy eat world concert tuesday night. her husband denny does the sound for them and they had a couple of open spots on the guest list. (also on his resume: prince, bryan {correction} ryan adams, afi...impressive right.)

spencer and i hadn't been on a real date since my birthday last july, (can you say hermits.)

so it was incredible to be out together, at a concert of a band i love, AND be vip style, a welcome break from potty training and diapers for sure.

thank you heather and denny, for an unforgettable night, and for bringing the coolness factor in our family WAY up.
plus, your 7 year old is the cutest boy i have ever seen.

ahh, those freckles.

olive and papa

round and round.

who said flowers were a lame gift

spencer is two for two since we moved to boise. he found the cutest little boutique flower shop and i'm blown away every time. handmade pots even.

happy mothers day to me!

"no more boppers"

olive did/is doing great!

it was a beach themed potty party with lots of treats and incentives.

i dreaded it, but it was actually really fun, as fun as potty training can be at least.

after dinner she threw away her "boppers" and got a new swimming pool.

way to go olive!

bringing the party home

even though rain threatened our boise celebration hours before the big event. we rented a tent, modified the decor a little and pulled it off.

it was lovely.

coming up for olive

a potty party is happening at our house on monday may 9th.

don't call, i think we'll be busy.
