This year, we attempted to catch a leprechaun. (Not one of those mean horror movie leprechauns with the snaggle toothed mouths, more like the sweet cartoon faced Lucky Charm little guy.)</div>
I mean really, we may have better luck getting rich off of a leprechaun's gold than we do winning the lottery.... and it's a lot more fun this way. <br />

Friday night, we set up a trap. Middle Little, Abbie, thinks Lucky Charms cereal is leprechaun bait so thats what was laid out on a sparkly gold plate (because everyone knows leprechauns are attracted to anything gold and sparkly). </div>

We woke up to find a mess of chocolate gold coins throughout the house. Apparently the sneaky little leprechaun avoided being caught in the trap and instead made a mess and hung out in the living room watching TV and snacking on Lucky Charms cereal and Sprite.<br />

The leprechaun did leave a few treats along the way. Then there was this... the nasty little jerk used the restroom and as middle Little pointed out with a *gasp* "he didn't even flush the potty?!!" The nerve! (Really, the looks on their faces were worth every chocolate gold coin on the planet.)</div>

After cleaning up the mess the tiny little cereal munching dude made, we finished up our day with a lucky Irish meal, dessert fit for two leprechaun chasing Littles and a toast of the annual green brew. In our silliness of celebrating today, I am reminded of our many blessings and how "lucky" we are. Until next year little leprechaun dude... your a** is mine. ;-)</div>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What do you say after 22 years? The same old, I love you, you are awesome, you're the best, I am so happy you are mine, etc, etc.? How do you tell a person just how much they are your world and not sound like you're repeating the same old mushy stuff year after year? It truly goes unspoken when you love someone with your whole heart and the love continues to go deeper and deeper with every day that passes... you just feel it in every fiber of your being. I know this is true too... one lifetime will never be enough for us. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Time to climb up on his velvety red knee and rattle on and on about all the fantastic toys we would love to wake up to under our tree Christmas morning. <br />
<br />
Well, ours went something like this... wake up, get dressed for work, car decided it needed some new parts and would not start. Thank God the hubby knows how to do these things and fixed it up quickly and saved us money doing it himself. (He can fix most anything! He's good like that. :-) A few more little incidents... then everyone is dressed with smiling faces and happy to be on our way to Santa. <br />
<br />
We arrive to find a very short line... awesome. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Make it to the front of the line and there he was in all his glory... SANTA. He had the happiest smile and was waving to us. I swear, he had a magical glow and I wanted to smile and jump up and down waving like I was 5. To my Littles... it was more like "Ho Ho Horror". :-\ Abbie hid her face and would not go near him. Josh touched the seat of his pants on the jolly old elf's knee and panicked. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here we have it.... the 2011 Christmas shot.... Santa, Josh with a less than pleased look on his face, and mom in mid "cheese', Abbie is invisible. (You know, now that I look at it... that little elf guy in the lower right hand corner is kind of creepy. Hmmmmm.) Sorry Santa. We hope that this doesnt mean we wont get the goods Christmas morning. We have been pretty good. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The sights/sounds/smells and the smiling happy faces...and the anticipation of what that jolly old elf Santa will bring us under our tree, is.... electrifying.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I cannot believe this year has gone by so fast! We are now flying towards seeing that old familiar fat guy in red. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Woo-hoo!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Now its time to get the tree up and tune the radio in to Chrsitmas tunes (which by the way, the radio in my car has been for several days before Thanksgiving hit... found by accident, I was beside myself when I heard the Grinch Christmas tune fill my cars interior.... one word... awesome). Oh the crafts, the baking, the gift wrapping, seeing family and friends... can I get a hell yeah?! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Speaking of crafts, my cousin in Washington crochets the most fabulous beanies/hats for newborns-adults (look for her on Facebook - "<strong><span style="background-color: white;">The Hat Rack</span></strong>"), she inspired me to try out a hat of my own... after several choice words and ripping the yarn stitches apart several times... two days later I ended up with one cupcake hat that my oldest is now the owner of. (My cousin made this look so easy! Well its not. She is just really talented.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Speaking of creepy... I climbed up in the dark dusty attic all by myself last night while the hubby was visiting a friend. While I decided, as I sometimes do, that I wasn't going to do much for Halloween... well, it's like a crack addict. I can't not at least do some. I went in for some Fall vines/foliage and came out dragging boxes of Halloween decor. Threw a few items in the backyard and once the hubby got home, his holiday freak flag was flying too as he went back into the attic and retrieved the fog machine and laser light show. (Side note, came home from work today and he had gone back into the attic for more.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

I get so excited over the date on the calendar that tells us Fall is officially here, whether it truly feels like Fall yet or not, I know its coming! This is like the beginning of an awesome movie with badass sequels following shortly behind. Coming up, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, then a whole new year to start it all over! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">For now I am giddy over the cold weather fashions being set out in stores, the changeover of candle smells to Fall-ish flavors (cinnamons, pumpkins, apple blossoms, etc.), the aisles of candy and costumes to choose from... the smell that reminds me of the bottom of a trick or treat bag with all of its mixed candies and the scary fun from going door to door yelling "trick or treat"! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Even more so during the soon to be hub-bub of the holidays. My advice (that I dont seem to listen too, but I am going to try to more)...take time to relax some and dont get so stressed if the baseboards in the house are dirty, or the laundry rivals Mount Everest, or you run out of time to make sure your hair and makeup are perfect, or your desk has so much paper on it you could open your own pinata' making factory. No one cares if things are perfect and if they do, they are not around for the right reasons anyway. So there. Relax. Deep breaths and enjoy the day you are given. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Gives a sense of accomplishment, a glowing proudness, a feeling of greatness, a .... ah, just have a look at the brilliant piece of art/functional masterpiece I created today! (Disclaimer: "I" didnt necessarily come up with this idea, rather, I kind of used my crafting genious to tweak an idea... oh forget it, yeah, I totally stole the idea from pictures on the internet.)<br />
<br />
I stalk thrift stores/resale shops for old picture frames and glassware. You never know what kind of potential treasure awaits! Found this old oval shaped frame that yelled at me to buy it one day. It was hideous. I brought it home and tucked it away... until now.<br />

Its been a little over a month with nothing, nada, zip, or zilch, in the way of posts. We have had a busy but fun month in August celebrating birthdays and vacation time! This post is going to be a month of random rambling. If it comes across as a regurgitated mess, well... I do apologize ahead of time. :-)</div><br />
On a random note: 6 months potty trained and no "accidents"! Way to go Abbie! So proud of our middle Little!<br />

We went on a family outting to the Museum of Science and History. After being stuffed in the car like sardines, one wee boy getting car sick while going down the highway (this is why mommas pack extra clothes in the car ;-), and the car dying twice for an unknown reason on the same street, we were were good to go. Once inside, we played. Played until there were major meltdowns. Then it was time to go. Once home, some chinese food takeout and the day was a wrap. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Sometimes a daycation/staycation (aka - an at home day vacation), makes for a fun-<em>ny</em> day! Some of my best times ever are spent at home relaxing and enjoying life. Besides, the tiki torch filled with keep away bug juice, cabana lights, summer attire, popsicles and water sprinklers say its full blown summer and its time to chill out.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After a trip to the grocery store Saturday morning, and my discoverying I was missing a bag of groceries and trekking back to the grocery store to retrieve my lost bag of loot, it was time to relax. (Apparently this was some kind of cosmic thing, because they did the same thing to the hubby and forgot to place some of the items in his bag at Home Depot, which he had to make a trip back to the store to collect.) </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />

We swam until our fingers and toes looked like shriveled prunes (and upon getting my swimsuit on, Abbie informed me I had a "big ol' butt"... ahhhh, the truth of a toddler). Speaking of swimsuits, Abbie loves her newest addition to her swim attire collection. Big Sister gave her a frilly fru-fru pink tutu swim suit, that she wants to wear everytime.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx8uE0K_p-KgSjedqZLq9Qab3eCerNKb0OXLe_-S8LwzRy0set62nq09L5Zolldfh01IsLxN-eghKklED8tVxVeX2m4LnVQp2yPXztVYpsTOyvjS8mJdVGSGF8-fXEEpw5MnMHR8Gspig/s1600/eIMG_8932.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx8uE0K_p-KgSjedqZLq9Qab3eCerNKb0OXLe_-S8LwzRy0set62nq09L5Zolldfh01IsLxN-eghKklED8tVxVeX2m4LnVQp2yPXztVYpsTOyvjS8mJdVGSGF8-fXEEpw5MnMHR8Gspig/s640/eIMG_8932.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Nothing says chillin' and relaxing like going to the spa... so Sunday we pretended like we were at the day spa. Abbie LOVES a spa day. This time we went all out. Something about a toddler decked out in her bath robe with a chocolate face mask on and cucumbers on her eyes lounging is hysterical to me. We lit a chocolate candle (ambiance), gathered pedicure items, and I gave her a small plate of juicy strawberries and glass of mango juice (or mingo juice, as she calls it) for a spa snack. I spoke to her as if she were a spa client and she was hillarious. She told me as she was reclined with her mask on and fingers soaking in warm soapy water, that it was "so relaxing". Once I cleaned off her mask and gave her a facial massage with lotion, she informed me she was "feeling so young". Gotta love it. Next time she wants Daddy to got to the "spa" with her. ;-)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty. - Author Unknown<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><strong>I love how you stop what you are doing and get down in the floor to play. The things you do when you think no one is looking... the pride in your face when your watching them. They know your heart is for them, this is why they do run to your arms when they are empty.</strong></span><br />

My Father used to play with my borther and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "Youre tearing up the grass"; "Were not raising grass," Dad would reply. "Were raising boys." ~ Harmon Killebrew (American Baseball Player 1936)<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><strong>You know we are not "raising grass", and I love you for this. Grass can regrow, colored on walls can be repainted, spills can be cleaned up... I am glad you know this and take it all in with patience and appreciation.</strong></span><br />
<br />
"Fatherhood is pretending the present you love the most is soap-on-a-rope." - Bill Cosby<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><strong>I am glad you genuinely love their "gifts" and make them feel like they just gave you the best gift in the world. In turn, you are giving them one of the best "gifts" in the world... the feeling of love and appreciation.</strong></span><br />
<br />
My Dad always used to tell me that if they challenge you to an after-school fight, thell them you wont wait-you can kick their ass right now." - Cameron Diaz<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><strong>I love that you try teaching them the right things, yet at the same time "keep it real".</strong></span><br />
<br />
The kind of man who thinks that helping with the dishes is beneath him will also think that helping with the baby is beneath him, and then he certainly is not going to be a very successful father. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><strong>You have never felt anything was "beneath you".... I love you for this. A good lesson for little ones.</strong></span><br />

It is a wise Father that knows his own child. ~ William Shakespeare<br />

Of course you cannot have a birthday without celebrating or recognizing it in some form or fashion. So as Middle Little says "Were having a pool pizza party!" (While her little feet happily dance her around in circles.)<br />
Yes, Daddy filling up the kiddy pools... ordering pizza... and having a homeade "birthday" cake, were all it took to make this momma (actually all of us) smile!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I've wanted a pool for several years now. I figured getting a pool in our postage stamp sized backyard was going to be reserved for day dreaming. Hubby was leaving the house to go pick up my birthday present and when he returned, would not let me in the backyard for several hours. He would come in periodically drenched in sweat and ask for a glass of water. After a few hours, he came in, had me pour a glass of wine, and grab hold of his arm with my eyes closed while he guided me into the backyard. I opened my eyes to one of the most beautiful sights ever. My pool. My oasis, my tropical paradise...yeah, yeah, okay, thats a little overboard... the point is I like it. I love it. This man spent hours shopping for, digging out the power tools, constructing a wood deck to level out a swimming pool, and setting it up before dragging me blindly outside to rock my world. Sighhhh, I love him so. (He said he had planned something different for my birthday, but as he was leaving, I made the comment "its hot out here, I wish we had a pool", he said he knew when he left, that was it, he was going to make it happen.) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I now have a place to relax, cool off, pretend I am in Jamaica with a fruity drink, and watch my Littles howl with laughter while turning into water logged little raisins. The smell of the pool in the backyard air is, well.... its good. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">A long story... very long... like a whole childhood/part of adulthood long years kind of thing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My sister and I were not raised together. We do, in fact, have different fathers (mine unknown, and hers an abusive alcoholic that passed away some years ago). I have been around my sister a handful of times over the years, nothing that ever made us close or made us "feel" like sisters.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We come from dissimilar, yet similar backgrounds. Some of childhood/teenage years we would like to forget, and there are some areas that either of us could probably never forget no matter how hard we tried. We both saw, heard and lived things as children that no child should ever have to. Which brings me to my next statement.... "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger." If you grew up in/ever lived in a f'ed up environment, do not perpetuate it by learning to live the same and choose the same behaviors.... choose to be different.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">With neither of us having much family of our own, it has been an intriguing year of getting to know each other as adults. We are different, but alike in so many ways. We love each other. We are family.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We finally decided to hang out in person. I think we both wondered what the other one was going to be like/look like/act like. Let's just say it was instant family... this feeling of "we have always been". <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are sisters, moms, intelligent, loving souls... we are dorks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
