{bonus! no snow today!}

this is a weird angle
i realize
but all of my other self portrait efforts to capture this scene
resulted in a nice closeup of my upper arm fat
and no one needs to see that now do they?

how cute is my widdle thumb sucker?
let me answer that
real cute
i don't care if you're for thumb sucking or not
it think it's basically the best and most cutest thing i've ever seen
rainbow and ponies people
even cuter than that

my sling? it's handmade by kim over at prairie mama
and i loooove, loooooooooooooooooooove the thing
me and the nublet pack all over town in it
it's fantastic


the past few days were good, huh?

i called it my white trash weekend spectacular thanks to some greasy hair, a couple different vomit and booger covered shirts, my favorite pairs of holey {not holy} sweatypants {haha sweatypants gross}, and lack of shower. i haven't put on makeup for like 4 days and won't lie, look pretty disgusting. disgusting in an underlying fantastic sort of way. i'm not one of those people who looks good naturally, i must work for it. you know? except that a lot of times i don't care and head out into the public anyway and of COURSE run into everyone i know. that's just how those things go and I DON'T CARE, much.

conference was lovely of course. i love me some apostolic council for sure and don't even get me started on how much joy i feel when the camera pans over the MOTAB members in all of their weird singing face glory. it's the frosting on my conference cake {i use this frosting analogy a bit too much, i know}. i'll be excited for the ensign report to come out since i spent the better part of the last session today trying to convince a certain almost 8 month old that an afternoon nap was indeed a good idea. he wasn't buying. we even went for a w.a.l.k to the p.a.r.k. much to the delight of one hairy, and lately very farty {ugh, new dogfood} yellow labrador named augustus thor the thunderdog. family bonding at it's best right there. i forgot to mention that hub made some sticky buns {actual name of the recipe, no lie} for breakfast and then i made up a dance named "sticky buns" and had the nub perform it. maybe sometime if you're lucky i'll get it on camera. it really is a treat.

this week i am definitely looking forward to. visits from siblings {and my little neph}, quality time with my sister{s}, easter egg hunts and the like. should be basically awesome. anytime you have an excuse to eat copious amounts of food cooked by the connie chased with ridiculous amounts of easter candy is an occasion to be celebrated by my standards. plus after years of excuses and horror stories as to why we couldn't have one, my parents finally broke down and got a trampoline {for the grandkids}. so i guess it's okay for our kids to break our necks but not us. whatever. i'll still take it. who doesn't love a trampoline!?

it is bed time now. but seriously. 10:52.

sheesh.

PS i am working on the follow up money saver post. so many good tips, so little money spent!
