Miscellany Monday....or My Mumbles
one. dresses make me girly
i don't know about you but dresses make my day. i feel like i could walk on clouds of girliness. i'd be barefoot, pregnant, and wearing dresses all year long if i could. check out this little summer cutie hubs and kids got me for mother's day. i'm wearing it as i type. makes for a perfect nursing dress too...i've got my nursing cami under. think i'll head back to Target for all the colors! summer uniform...here i come!
two. corner time
i've tried over and over to move R man back to the center of the crib, but i'm finally gonna quit. in literally 60 secs he gets his knees under him and he scoots faster than lightening to the corner and sleeps. it worried me the first million times he did it. but i've since realized he must really like it. he slept from 9-6am and 6:30 until 9 when i had to wake him to get him ready for his chiro appt today. corners rule!
three. hairy situation
yesterday for mother's day my 2 oldest boys got a haircut. yes, i had to look outside to see if pigs were flying...nope. so i printed out pics of chance or chase or whatever young boy this is and they headed to the barber. oldest likes the look (basically his old look just shorter) but we are trying to gel it for the wet look all day long. any hair stylist have ideas? oldest has thick hair and when it dries it's full and has body...he wants wet plastered look
four. mothers
my mom is here for the week....(pause for angels singing) i'm sooooo excited. i've missed hanging out w/her. when she comes to visit we laugh until our sides hurt...about absolutely nothing. we kill each other. this morning mini me asked me though why i act like the mom instead of the daughter though....she says i'm bossy. no, someone needs to keep mee mee in line! she's my best friend and i'm so grateful i was blessed to be her daughter!
five. a little parm never hurts

I love scalloped potatoes. I love to put the taters in the food processor and slice them super thin and then have Gary throw them on the grill.
Have fun with your momma! She sounds like a hoot! You are lucky to have a fun relationship with your momma. Mine is a work in progress, in progress, in progress...lol!
Those potatoes look soooo good. Of course anything with parmesan and 3 cups of cream is bound to be delicious. ;)
Those potatoes sound amazing!
Hope you had a great Mother's Day!
have fun with your mama! :)
YAY for your mommy being there! I know she's such a big help.
Jack always slept in the corner, still does - when I can get him to sleep in his bed, that is. Stinker learned to crawl out Mon night, so now we've made it a toddler bed and he's refusing to go to sleep in it. He's slept on the couch the past 2 nights.
LOVE homemade scalloped potatoes, we have them at least once a week. I just use Uncle Chris' seasoning with heavy cream and bake them for about an hour, then top with cheddar. YUM!
Happy "late" Mother's day!
Those potatoes look so yummy.
