I asked Danny this morning "I wonder what age it becomes inappropriate for Rylee to see you naked?"
His response: "For Rylee, probably like 5.....for her girlfriends, 18 or 19."
Lol....stupid!

Inappropriate things my husband says #1
Anyone who knows my husband knows he is a funny guy, but sometimes he has no filter (probably where Rylee gets some of the off the wall stuff she says) paired with impeccable timing. So I decided to start a segment called inappropriate things my husband says.
While on a weekend getaway at the in-laws cabin in Strawberry Valley, we decided to take a drive up the La Porte. There is one little hole-in-the-wall bar in the town (if you've been that way, you know the one), so we decided to stop and have a drink. There were two guys up at the bar ordering when we walked up.
"Two bloody mary's, please". The lady behind the bar opens up her V-8 and tips it upside-down....nothing came out at first. "Pffffftttttt-slluuuuuuuurp-PLOP!" (that's the sound the big chunk of V-8 made as it un-suctioned itself from the can).
Immediately Danny comes back with "That looked like a placenta!" I swear the entire bar went silent.
The guys looked at each other and back at the bartender......"We'll have two beers please"

Free Halloween Decor
I love the idea of holiday decor, but i HATE spending money on it! So needless to say, our house is never very festive. We went to the pumpkin patch last week and when we walked past the little store that has all of the crafty decor I told my mom "look how easy that stuff is to make" (pointing at the pumpkin shapes cut from wood selling for $30). I left feeling inspired to make my own, and challenged myself to try to do it for free!
I found some old fence boards in our side yard and had Danny cut them to the desired lengths (don't trust myself with power tools that have spinning blades). Between all of the crafts that my mom and I do, I had any and all paints and brushes that I would need. So far so good! For one of the pieces, I needed some wire, which we also happened to have! SCORE! And finally, I needed a few eyelet screws which I was also able to find in a handy little kit of nick-knacks that Danny bought me. The only thing I didn't have was a couple of brackets, which cost $1.99. I probably could have found an alternative method of attachment, but oh well.
After these dried, Rylee painted the ghost faces herself!
Then, I cleaned up her lines a little bit, and added the text for a super simple
little sign that I can just prop up in my from yard,
or hammer to a stake to stick in the ground!
Again I started with 3 cut and primed pieces of wood, all the same size.
Then I attached them using the jewelry wire that I had, twisting it with
Not only is this an adorable sign, the footprints make it a keepsake
I had Rylee's help on a few other painting jobs
(the purple area and the pumpkin and stem).
Then I finished with the text, and some other detailing.
I kept the two planks separate just for ease of moving them
around while working. I attached them when I was finished with the little
brackets and some screws. These brackets aren't the best, but they are all
I could find at Lowes (I must have been in the wrong isle).
They should technically be longer across the boards, but for the sake of this
And here is the finished product! SOOOOO cute
(if I do say so myself)!
Although I was aiming to do these for FREE, I think $1.99 for these three adorable decorations is a steal! Not only were they easy, but fun! And they will last a long time. And every Halloween when I pull them out I will think "Awww, look how small their feet were!"

Project #1:
Who ever said Barney wasn't good for anything?
I saw these cute little ghosts on a Barney episode once and thought
they were adorable, but even more so when made from
little baby feet!
Rylee started by painting the plank black (I had spray primed them
previously so the acrylics would not soak into the wood).

Then the fun part was doing the foot prints! Fun, but challenging!
Have you ever tried to get a 2 month old to stop wiggling her toes?
Luckily, acrylic paints wipe off easily. I think it took us
Luckily, acrylic paints wipe off easily. I think it took us
three tries before we got a decent print! Rylee's feet were a little bigger than
the board. The dark area is wet paint where I had touched up from a
previous goof! I also went over the footprint with an extra coat of
paint for better coverage.

Rylee painted each a different color for me, but that's all she really could
do for this one. I wrote the text on each plank
and then attached eyelet screws to each one.

Then I attached them using the jewelry wire that I had, twisting it with
pliers to make sure they were connected well.
And here is the final product, a hanging sign!
Project #3 (my favorite)
Not only is this an adorable sign, the footprints make it a keepsake
(as is the ghost one).
We started with two pieces of wood the same size. Rylee painted
them black and did the footprints again.

Workout Woes
So I haven't updated my progress on Insanity. I have to say that I decided to wait another week or two before I start them. I am STILL recovering from the complications that I had after giving birth to Preslee. My blood levels are off and it makes me tired and lazy! I have still been doing the workouts, but not every day, and usually not the whole video. I figured I would do what I can for now until I feel better.
Not to mention how hard it is to actually get to work out at all! I swear the second I put the video in, Preslee wants to eat soo I stop it and feed her, but then Rylee needs something, and they NEVER nap at the same time (go figure!). I don't like to wait until Danny gets home because then I have dinner ready, and I don't want to work out after a big meal. Plus, research shows that working out in the morning gives better results.
I just have to remember that there will never be a "perfect" time to workout, so I better just get over it and DO IT! Looks like a jogging stroller kind of day :)

Chamomile kind of day
Nothing is better on a gloomy day than staying in your jammies and watching Red Box movies with your two favorite girls! And it just wouldn't be right to sit cozy at home without a hot cup of tea. Danny's Aunt Julie gave me this cup only a few days ago and I have used it probably 10 times already! I don't think anyone should have tea any other way than with a beautiful tea cup that makes you glad to be a girl! It gives me an excuse to indulge in a warm beverage!
And with the coming of fall, it inspires me to try to do some fun Halloween crafts with Rylee. I have been scavenging for some old wood for some ideas that I have. I will post photos later. Speaking of Halloween, I have given up on the idea that Rylee will come up with an amazing costume idea. She wanted to be a belly button, but decided finally on Supergirl. I am not going to even bother making that, I am just going to do it the old fashion way and go buy it at Target! But here is an adorable costume that I found that inspired me to come up with my own spin off of it for a costume for Preslee and I. It's going to be great, wait and see!
Ahhh, I hate winter, but today is splendid!
