settled...

kids are tucked in..
the last box unpacked..
and a fresh batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies...
it's starting to feel like home..

we had the party all planned out..and then the snow got in the way :(

two dozen cup cakes.... sitting waiting to be eaten.... 

yummy cupcakes are from Top It Cupcakes..

if you live in AZ ..go check them out on Gilbert and Warner...

we had big plans for these guys...

we peeled crayons for hours and melted and molded....
the kids were going to give these to their friends for valentines..
and then we went to Target to pick up some things and they spotted the valentines aisle..
they found some old school valentines they got so excited over..
whats a mom to do..sigh..
so now we have an army of lego crayons.. which Luke is quite okay with as he said "It's okay mommy.. I didn't really want to give any of those cool Lego crayons away anyways.."
lol

toucan sam...

hailie called me outside to look at her sidewalk chalk drawing and I went out and was floored..
she made a perfect toucan sam... i use to love froot loops

you can see luke in the back playing with his nerf gun..cracks me up..

three...

I was going through my photos to put up a different post and I came across this picture...

it startled me..  the number three.. the chaos of packing.. I sat there staring at the photo and contemplated if I should blog about it... I have yet to see anything so personal be put out there on a mommy craft blog..

I am moving.. again.. 4th time in a couple years.. not because of the economy..or a job change..
but because of together..not together...together..divorced...
I am not sharing this for sympathy or any other reason but to say it does happen.. it is a reality.. my reality...

three instead of four..

the kids are doing great though... we have done what every parent should do..put them first...
but I do not have a perfect life.. nor do I want to give the illusion of one..
it is chaotic.. I have a ton on my plate.. and at times I have been an emotional wreck..
but I am moving forward and accepting change.. and am finding my happiness..

Love For Michael....<3

I was at the mall and I saw this woman with my perfect purse...
One of my girlfriends asked her about it.. I chickened out..
It was Michael Kors... didn't surprise me.. I love that man and his vision of perfection..

Yes Please....

and this......

and THE BAG... here it is in Gold Python ... hers was black.. It was beautiful...  sigh..
