a confession, and some snow...

































hey y'all.

feel like i need to anti-up here, and share with the world wide web, that while it was a chaotic thing, hubs made the best. damn. syrup. uhm, ever. kidlets had it today with pancakes, and i went off my strike to take a taste, and holy sh*t, the man makes some bombin' maple syrup. so, alas, my apologies. it was good, you were right, i jumped the gun, shouldn't have freaked out, yada yada. M says it is sweet and yummy, and even sticky. great.









































at any rate, all else is status quo. thought we were done with winter here. but not so much. so, we are spending lots of time hanging today. i have been crafting my brains out, putting the finishing touches on a gift for some dear friends baby shower tomorrow, sorry brooke, i am not posting ANY pics, so you can keep reading. finishing projects that i have going on for the store, (that is set to open on March 10th,) so keep your eyes open, more will be coming on that front...
the beans are fab, lots of sass, giggles and destruction going on but hey, that is what it is all about right? i do feel as though i spend an insane amount of time lately picking up. i will give myself a goal, just pick up the mudroom, and don't worry about the rest, and while i am in the mudroom cleaning, the littlest bean will write all over the tv with T's crayons, and the biggest bean will be "building picture frames" with household items, and T, well, she just creates a monumental MESS wherever she goes. she has also informed me today that we don't need to worry about the potty for the rest of the day, as her bum is closed for the rest of the day. awesome, that will free up some of my day for sure.













Today's current disaster that is in the process of being dealt with, is the hot chocolate that hubs gave the 4 year old, IN A MUG, ON THE COUCH. use your imagination really. so, the seat cover went straight to the wash, and i asked hubs, WHY WHY WHY, would you give him hot CHOCOLATE in a HEAVY ceramic MUG, ON THE COUCH.

to which he responded, "you told me he doesn't drink out of sippy cups anymore."

thinking this would clearly make him see my point, i said, "would you give him chocolate ice cream with hot fudge sauce, in a bowl- on the COUCH?"

"yeah, why?"

never mind really.















so the long and short, are that things are a bit hectic. we have been doing a whole lot of here there and everywhere for all sorts o' projects and what not, some store related, others not so much. i have been trying to gym it - every opportunity i get, which i find helps me tremendously. in every way.

knitting has taken a back seat till sewing and decoupaging and all the other jazz is completed....

hubs is working like crazy to complete his store things like checkout counters, coffee stations, etc. just lots to do. LOTS.

JUST.CAN'T.WAIT.TILL.STORE.IS.OPEN.....

*also, looking for some inspiring new dinner options, any ideas?
