Hats Off to Roo

 

Roo

 

I wish so badly that you knew Roo...I mean REALLY knew him.

He is the hardest of all my kids to say no to because he is so stinkin' sweet.  Plus, he has really long eyelashes that he bats at me,

gets me every time.

 

On Saturday he turned 3.

We used the morning to get ready for a little party.  I just got home from dragging the kids to Target for a few party supplies & he looks up at me, "Where are the party hats?"

 

Party hats! 

I didn't get any party hats...

and those eyes...they really do get me.

 

So we dragged out the felt box & got to work.

We just glued felt to cardstock and used a headband.

The kids told me what shape they wanted,

 I cut & they decorated.

 

I was really surprised how much fun we had,

and what a mess we made.

 

But, before we knew it we had hats for the gang,

 

 

& Annie was stuck with a cupcake on her head.

(hey~her idea not mine :)

 

She rocked it,

 

& everyone looked equally ridiculous.

 

 

 

& I do mean EVERYONE!

 

 

Which only added lots of giggles to the party.

 

(Uncle Dan is a good sport.)

 

Roo was particularly fond of his crown.

 

 

 

He thought it was fabulous,

& I even found him taking a selfie with Annie.

 

 

& wouldn't you know...

when his cousins FaceTimed him with birthday wishes...

He insisted on wearing his crown.

 

 

Saturday I lost my favorite Instagram hashtag #roo2

 

& #roo3 doesn't have the same flair...but were doing it anyway.

Here is to a fab #roo3.

 

Love you Roo.

Do'n it Day

I hadn't really been pinning too much until last week. 

On Friday I kinda got out of control...here is the proof:

Roo had to feed himself.

Bo was getting his own drinks.

Someone got bored & started "watering" plants.

And my laundry basket was found like this.

But Saturday all that pinning paid off.

I made my grocery list & got groceries

for 5 different healthy recipes I had pinned.

while the boys were on their own :)

I have already made 3.

Addicted to these.

Oatmeal breakfast bars.

Can't wait to use these tomorrow:

On my new Chicken recipe.

And even filled my freezer with

lots of cut up onions & peppers.

Then I made these jars that I saw on pinterest

& later regreted not pinning.

10 gems 10 pounds.

Lets start with that.

Move the gems to the other jar as they come off.

Saturday was a good day.

Preparing myself for lots of good days to come.

Thanks to pinterest.

:)

Try to do one pin this week girls!

You'll be glad you did!

(let me know if you do :)
