i got some shorts
see here
yesterday i was randomly browsing the nordstrom site (yes, randomly!! i was bored while boo boo napped. and shorts isn't something i'd normally seek out.) and i saw these shorts. they have a lot of reviews which was weird. because there is tons of stuff on there that has no reviews. i got a bee in my bonnet about "gettin' some shorts!! now!" and went doontoon and found them. it must have been because yesterday was warm-ish that made me think i needed new shorts....that and i only own 2 other shorts right now, both of which are ill-fitting. one pair is from target which i bought postpartum and is both too big and not flattering. i will be giving those away soon, i promise. also in the go-away bag is a pair of shorts that are too tight on the tummy and short on the leg shorts i got last summer at goodwill during the HEAT WAVE . i had gone the day before and seen some OK shorts and when i went back the next day they were gone. and i had to get SOMETHING because it was 100 freaking degrees out. and so now you know the story of my shorts.
this week boo boo has been taking LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG ass naps. one day he slept for 4 hours. I AM NOT JOKING. the next day around 3. today he is on the fast track to a 4 hour nap again. i think this is because he's been going to bed LATE at 11. and then he sometimes wakes up late too. so yeah.......i'm really bored when he sleeps. i tried sleeping for a while. and that was ok. but now i'm up and waiting............ waiting............ waiting.......
did i mention that we finally got netflix? maybe i did. i'm getting true blood on dvd and have watched the first 2 episodes. i guess it's alright. maybe i need to watch more. all three of guys in it look the exact same to me. the brother, the boss and the vampire. am i the only one who thinks this? i mean, they have slightly different body shapes but their hair and facial structure look the same to me. i don't get it.

mid-june pictures.
here are some pictures of june, so far... it seems like june always passes by really quickly. and now that esmond AND his cousin arie have birthdays PLUS my brother it's like a birthday party every weekend. PLUS the solstice parade (which hasn't happened yet) and fathers day..... sooooo much stuff to do!!
birthday balloon and bunting that i made just for boo boo:
birfday cupcakes. two thumbs up for always having the stuff for making cupcakes so i can make them while the boys go to the playground and i don't have to go to the store for anything.
WISH THE WEATHER WAS SUMMERY.
I made one ingredient ice cream:
all my shirts are striped. yet, i still feel like i need more..... MORE... MOREEEE!!
in other news. i'm thinking about saddle shoes today and wondering if i can pull them off. i had saddle shoes in like, kindergarten or something...but now i'm not sure if i'm hip enough. so. yeah.
now it's time to take a shower before the boop wakes up. then we'll probably go to the library and store and maybe feed the ducks.

random thoughts to clear my brain so i can try to nap
here is two potential dresses that i want to get for upcoming weddings that we are going to this summer AND winter:
really cute black shirt dress
and
really cute navy shift dress with lace detail
it is annoying that i can't save the pictures to just show you but WHATEVER.
i really like the black one and it's a good option if i ever had to nurse in it. which, hopefully i wouldn't have to do.
yesterday we had a family/close friends bday party for boo boo at my parents house.
it was really fun to see my friends that i don't see very often. i wish i could see them more. they have been my friends since grade school and we were all in campfire together.
boo boo got some really awesome prezzies. all kinds of boy things like trains, digger, animal things. like a horse on a stick that you walk around like it's your dog or something. it's really cute.
okay. i need to go rest my eyes while i still have time.
tomorrow we leave to go on a camping trip. i HOPE THE WEATHER COOPERATES, jesus f-ing christ, for the sake of my family because otherwise i will be grumpy. i got some magazines and crayons just in case.

everyone but me is doing the mid-day nap thing right now. i tried to sleep but i couldn't stop thinking about the dr. visit that we had in the morning or about cupcakes that i want to make for tonight.
today is esmond's birthday and WHOA i can't believe how fast the last year went by. faster than the year before.
