What's Goin' On?

And I said - hey yea yea yea - hey yea yea...
... I said hey - a what's goin' on?

Since I've been claiming to be "soooo busy" lately I thought I would take a moment to fill you in on a little bit of what's goin' on around here. Here are a few recent pics and some bulleted info, some "busy blips" if you will...
- I've still been working on the girl's room. I considered both of these large scale gingham fabrics for the window treatments. I loved the green, but settled for the pink because it really looked the best with the room. When I went back to the fabric store to order the pink gingham though, I found this...... pink and white lattice print. Loved and ordered it instead! - I've been spending the majority of my time lately planning our church's Daddy Daughter dance (coming up this Saturday night) and it has pretty much taken over my life and my house! It's been fun, but I'll be glad when all the work is over! I will be sure to do a post all about the dance some time next week.- Social Butterfly Miss Evie has/has had a whole slew of birthday parties to attend this week. Last weekend was a PJ party at O2B Kids for her "boyfriend". Check out this seriously prom pic...... Oh Boy! Are we in for it or what?!!! Ben has been busy explaining to Evie that she does not have "boyfriends" only "friends that are boys". Good luck Babe! Ben and I were watching a movie the other day and there was a dad line in it that went like this... "I bench press refrigerators honey - I think your boyfriends oughtta know that" - ha!- I shopped and worked at a spring children's consignment sale yesterday. This is one of my favorite sales every year. I love doing the volunteer shifts because it gives me an opportunity to be out of the house and to indulge in my affinity for children's clothes. I also get to shop for my own kids. I didn't buy as much this time as I usually do, but I love what I got...... this precious 3T pants and top set for Annie to wear next fall and some great barely used name brand shoes!

- Speaking of shopping for kid's clothes, Anabelle and I went to a Matilda Jane party one morning last week. So fun! Here is a peak at some of the items I ordered...Instead of choosing exact matching outfits for Evie and Anabelle, this time I chose mix and match coordinates - a little out of the box for me!- We have still been getting our weekly fresh produce deliveries (plus this week we also ordered a fresh chicken and eggs!) This week we got this cauliflower/broccoli hybrid - a broccoflower? It's beautiful! It makes me think of this... ... Maybe I should rename it St. Basil's Broccoli? Basiloli? Basilflower? Basilbrocciflower?Basilocciower? Ok, now I'm just being a dork.

That's all for now!

I do have an urgent prayer request for a baby niece in my brother-in-law's family. Please visit my sister-in-law Kelly's blog and pray for Taylor!!!
