Birthday Post

It's that time again - what do I want for my birthday? My 2nd 35th Birthday that is!

I think Sorel's make the list AGAIN this year because no one has purchased them for me.  Although, these exact blue ones have been sold out in my size 6.5 till now..... Hubs is on it!!

My perfume exploded in my makeup bag I carry in my purse so a new Kate Spade cosmetic bag is making the list.  I don't even care what it looks like as long as its small!  This is the one I had:

The green military jacket is everywhere this season and I NEEEEEEED one asap!

Maybe a new Pandora ring or some Kendra Scott Earrings and I will be one happy lady.  Although let's not forget some chocolate covered something for my belly!!!

Not so Favorite Time

So Here I am potty training #3 over here and I realize there is nothing enjoyable about this time!  I am so sick of saying "do you have to go potty?" 500 hundred times a day I COULD SCREAM.  He's honestly doing really well, about 1 accident a day but I just think I have run "out of gas and patience with this last one".  Anyway. buying 1 box of diapers per month sounds nice (they both still wear them at night).  None of my children have ever mastered potty training and staying dry at night until they are about 5.  This meme sums up my true feelings.

I am not so slightly obsessed with the bralette. Ever since I got the girls put back where they belong I said a huge FU and goodbye to underwire.  I find all I need is a little bralette and they are so darn cute I cant seem to stop buying them.  ALL OF THEM!
 

I have been dabbling in Younique makeup lately.  Everyone has tried their 3D Fiber mascara and I did a while back.  But now I got some of their liquid foundation, primer and concealer.  I am not blown away but giving it some more time to see if it grows on me.

Throwing a 3rd Birthday party, Daddy starting back at school, school shopping for Brady and Pierce - the fun never ends.  But I may have made some apple crisp this weekend because I am so over this heat!  Fall hurry up and get here!!   :)

Fall is coming

It is almost my favorite time of year - eeeeekkkkk!!!  Football and chili season and pumpkin spice everything.

Who isn't excited for these???

I have been obsessed with this Habanero Salsa

and cotton candy grapes.  Have you heard of these things?  OMG they are so good.

And I may have snacked on both at the same time.  Thank goodness for Wegman's.  I must be hugry this post is all about food!

Back to school shopping over here big time!  New sneakers for everybody and school supplies for the big boy.  Little P is headed to pre-k for the am session 9-11:30 now that he is 4.  Let's just wait and see how that goes...

Potty training little man.  And can I just tell you - he twisted my arm into doing it.  But I guess when he takes off his diaper and pees in the potty you have to get on board.  So here we are a week in and he's killing it!!  So thankful for that.  I mean by the time you get to #3 - ain't nobody got energy for that.  Hahaha.

Husband of the year surprised me last night by lining up a sitter and taking me to see Lee Brice.  Aaaahh my other love for Country Music.  He was amazing, such a small venue and sounded so good.  Beers, a chicken pita and a motorcycle ride and this mom is SO happy.

Camping

We went to Jellystone again this year and had a blast!  The kids loved cooking the marshmallows and swimming.  We went with my sister and brother in law and a good friend from HS.  My parents were supposed to go too but Dad is still in the hospital (thats a whole other blog post) and we missed him for sure.  Mom was able to come down for a day.  Camping is a lot of work.  Basically doing what you do at home with unfamiliar surroundings and not as much room.  Cook and Clean and repeat.  But when the kids were asleep, the adults got to play cards, drink and hang out - and us moms actually got to finish our sentences!  Here are some pics:

Speaking of camp and all those kiddos - I purchased this from Amazon and I'm not really sure how I have lived without it for 8 years. It's also available from Bed Bath & Beyond and way cheaper and you can use a coupon!

Its called a Squatchi and I can now measure my kids feet myself and shop online - Yay!  And Stride Rite is having their BOGO sale right now with free shipping. Whatever makes life easier, I will buy.
