I'm tweaking some pictures and just want to see how they appear online. :)

Delight

Drew hates the word delight - I tend to agree with him- Turkish delight, afternoon delight, it's all creepy and weird. Afternoon Delight reminds me of Arrested Development however, and THAT is a good thing. :)

Yesterday, our babysitter's hubby got in a car accident- he's ok, but needed to go into the hospital to get checked (early enough that the doctors weren't open and his boss said he HAD to go in since it was on the job..drives semi's)- anyway, I couldn't take E to the sitters, so she hung out with me yesterday. She chilled with the Title 1 ladies while I had a conference, and Drew was able to come home for my IEP meeting later in the afternoon. I also ended up having a family stay for almost 1 1/2 hours to "chat" about their child, which really ended up chatting about everything and anything. Drew asked what we talked about and I could only remember about 1/4 of it. I was exhausted. 8:30pm is too late to be at work!

I'm going to drop E off at the sitters on Monday and Drew and I are going to have a day date of tasty breakfast and Alice in Wonderland (assuming all is well with our babysitter's husband by then).

So, since today is Friday, conferences are done, my white board is full of new reading group arrangements, that means my Spring Break has officially started. I'm excited to sleep in, clean my house, and get extremely exhausted keeping a 9 month old from getting bored! We even went for a walk today- although short- but I wore my child, so I got tired fast!


That's one of her bath toys that sticks to the side of the tub when wet- it's nice to know it sticks to heads, too. That pacifier is from Rissy- it's a raver paci. LOL


We insist on naked girls while eating bananas


Hai!



Happy St. Patrick's Day!


If you look VERY closely, you can see not 1, but 2 teeth! (at least I can when fully zoomed on my cpu!)

Sunday Night

I don't like daylight saving time. Just when you get used to something they go and mess it up. I'm moving to Arizona. (esp. with small children, things just don't go smoothly)

Until then, here's some pictures :)


Every time I tried to open her mouth up to get a shot of the *new* tooth, this is what happened. Sorry guys - we'll get it eventually!


She had been sitting over where her feet are -she was determined to play on the computer-too bad nothing else is motivating. hahaha


This is for you Shel - I found all the stripes I had!


Pretty dress day!

(I should have put her bow on the other side! haha)
-This is her Easter dress- I wanted to make sure it fit so we could go get pictures next week


Playing in the 3 pitiful flowers on the side of our house - if I had remembered there weren't any flowers, I would have planted some this past fall! Maybe this year...


Oh! My friend R, had her baby! He weighed 9lbs 7oz - 21" long - a pound and 1 ounce more than E. He was a cutie though!


Ripping grass out of the ground is apparently VERY fun!

OKGo

Many, many years ago, Drew and I went to a TMBG concert at Kingsbury Hall and an unknown band was opening for them called OKGo. To our surprise, they were way better than They Might Be Giants (at least I think so, Drew says otherwise)...anyway...I really enjoyed them and found as much of their music online as I could. They haven't put out many albums and a lot of their really good stuff can't even be found now since it never made it to cds. They've put out a new music video that I thought I'd share with you cause it's so stinkin clever. Their choreography is always so original and entertaining. It's nice to watch a music video for entertainment purposes rather than how scantily dressed the women are.

Thank you OKGO for your awesomeness!

Happy Birthday to ME!


I got some pretty flowers from my honey while at work on Thursday- Thank you!!! (don't look at the mess- it's an issue :))

We got to go to Gleneden for the weekend and here are my pretty pictures from it!



Sunset on Saturday


Siletz Bay on our way home on Sunday


I just thought this was cute- we were heading down to the sand for sunset- our room was to the right- it was nice we were on the main floor for beach access, but a bummer cause we couldn't see the ocean full on.


E playing while we waited


The waves were HUGE. These pictures just don't do it justice


Saturday morning


Playing in the pool. Pool=84*++outside temp=65* = freezing cold when you are out of the water. Fun though :) Elisabeth LOVED it



Nap- check! Swimsuit-check! Happy baby-check!

What a great way to spend my birthday. Next year, I can't decide if we should try out Depoe Bay, or stay at Gleneden again...and either choice, if we should go just for my birthday weekend, or all of Spring Break??
