i love the weekend!

hallelujah its the weekend!
nowhere to go.
noplace to be.
our kind of day!

waking up to yo gabba gabba, some milk and a snack.

on to pumpkin spiced pancakes (thanks for the mix g-link ... mmm). with home made blueberry compote. unsure about the whole thing.

what? i really have to eat this?

whateves.

i can't wait til' i can pick what i wanna eat. mac n cheeze EVERY DAY! phltttt!

have you noticed?

I have joined the rest of the blogosphere in participating in "project 365" which in my case is a blatant misnomer... in fact, i did not jump on the bandwagon until 1.9.10... so, really - it should be project 365-8ish (i am bad at math, and who's counting anyway?)... but really, one of my resolutions was for 2010 (i will share the complete list soon i promise... again, spoken like a true procrastinator... we know this about me by now) is to find joy every day, and to capture it.
so far, i have posted beautiful abby, a kick-ass paint job, a sunset that i found while doing the dishes, a peek into my quest for a sippy that doesn't leak and some delicious cookies (which by the way, i did NOT eat - we'll talk about THAT resolution someday)... anyway. these nuggets of "daily joy" will have no rhyme or reason (other than arrive at some point daily), and probably wont follow any "golden rules" or "rule of thirds"...they might not be in focus, the exposure may be all out of whack and the composition may be ALL wrong. i am not promising anything other than a snippet of something that made me smile, that i would like to remember.... and share.

mac or pc? open discussion...

what do you have?
what do you wish you had? why?
pros? cons?

kurt and i are getting a new computer - (our family christmas gift to eachother)
we have been longtime pc users and are on the verge of making the switch (gasp) to mac. do you use one? is it really worth the extra $$?

christmas photos - 3 a day + 1 v.4 (final)

are we all over christmas yet?

we still have our tree up, lights up - and even some random wrapping paper strewn about... a half eaten gift basket on the table and the candy cane crumbles have turned into globs of peppermint glue and are stuck to the counter from the baking adventure that was weeks ago.

i have high hopes that we will wrap it up this weekend... but that is a HIGH hope. in efforts of moving on, and starting a fresh new year (which i have decided by the way, that mine isn't officially starting until next week)... i am posting the last of the christmas 2009 photos.

you've heard of the elf on a shelf? we have a family of them. they aren't the REAL "elf on a shelf" - but i think they are cuter! they keep watch over little boys and girls to make sure they are being nice, and report any "naughtiness" back to the big guy.

aren't they cute?

i am just putting this one in here, because it looks like liam is about to pluck the light straight off the tree. i thought it looked kind of cool.
...visions of sugarplums...
AND milk bones!
i hope your holiday season was merry and bright.

uh oh... uh oh.... uh oh...

Party in my tummy... so yummy.

2010.. a year for eating at the big boy table!

bon appetit.

hello 2010

goodbye 2009.

the last photo of Lima Bean in 2009. reflections and resolutions to come...
