I sewed myself a dress

It needs a little tweaking, but overall I'm impressed. For summertime wear I think it's perfect! This is the first thing I have made for myself. Micah and other babies usually get all of my fun stuff!

PS excuse the funny face. It's the only vertical one B took and I didn't want you all to be tilting your head to see the pic. you're welcome. 

The latest happenings.

We have been busy here at the Wood household. The lady I nanny for went in to labor yesterday morning at 1 am and so I'm not sure if I have a job anymore. I am subbing a quadrillion dance classes this week, and yet still can't seem to get mine covered the week I'm in CA... hmm. ( In all fairness, the other teacher who would usually sub for me is Out of town too and the rest of the teachers are going to be with their kids at a competition that weekend 3 hours away. Sucky timing, i know!)

I am cleaning up the house today and maybe making a pillowcase dress for myself. I haven't really made anything for my self, just stuff for other people. So, this should be interesting. I found this really awesome tutorial on how to slipcover those plastic milkcrates and I am hoping I scavenge some from my mom's house this weekend. ( ;) ;) mom!)

We had micah's b-day party last saturday and it was a success! He loved his cupcake. I loved the cute bib I made him. :) 

I am waiting today for directTV and embarq to show up and install our new internet and cable. (Woohoo to saving $$$) Micah is sleeping. Hallelujah! and I need to make myself lunch, but I'm feeling uninspired. Maybe some leftover enchiladas... 

that is all for now!

mushrooms please!

Olivia: can I have some mushrooms please?

Lindsay: mushrooms? Really?

Olivia: yes!!

Lindsay: like, just plain mushrooms? Do you eat them whole or sliced? Cooked or raw?

Olivia: uhm, sliced would be good.

Lindsay: ok. (looks al over the fridge for mushrooms) I'm sorry 'livvy there aren't any mushrooms.

Olivia: mushrooms aren't in the fridge they are over here! (points to a bag on the counter)

Lindsay: oh! You mean MARSHMALLOWS!

Olivia: (after her bowl of marshmallows is in front of her) you didn't slice them!

Lindsay: uh... You can't really slice mini marshmallows liv.

We <3 Emily!

Emily is my buddy and a fabulous photographer!

I borrowed these from the pure expressions blog to show you!

Happy easter!

Look at bubba and his cute PINK polo from noni! I love it! We hung out with the Camps today and their new 1 month old niece, Haley. She already has more hair than micah! 

We had quite the feast: turkey, asparagus, greenbeans, rolls, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. And for dessert, Angel Food Cake and chocolate covered strawberries with home made whipped cream! delicious!

I needed to get some little baby time in too! She is 9lbs. M is just under 20 lbs. What a difference ten pounds and ten months makes, huh?

Thanks for the fun night guys!

micah's first sleepover!

Micah had his first sleepover  last night! B and I had an all nighter last night and our very gracious friends mike and emily offered to take bubba for the night. They even hung out with him all day so that b and I could sleep! We could not have done this without them. Thanks guys!

I <3 my blog

I really wish I had started this blog while I was on bedrest last year. (PS one week from today, it will be a year ago i was put on bedrest.) It would have given me something to do. haha. I am thinking about doing a give-away from something on my etsy site, and since i know there are a few lurkers out there I want to hear some suggestions. just comment this post with your suggestion!

It's the little things.

Miss Olivia is such a free-spirited little girl. SHe like to pick flowers, beat up her big brother,  and eat go-gurt. She picked this flower me me yesterday, and wanted to take a picture of it. She is quite the photographer, don't you think?

Happy easter!

Here are some pics from our photoshoot outside today! It was gorgeous out and so we decided to get started on a big project... cleaning out our garage. Two trips to the dump later it still looks like a bomb hit it, but it's a work in progress. 

Bubba pulled out his best "camera face" for a picture with me. 

Ps you can totally see my grey hair. isn't that awesome?!

and in case you are wondering whose kid this really is.

In California the high for the day hits between 11:30 and 2ish. Here the high is between 2 and 4.

Weird, huh?
