Wordless(ish) Wednesday: Am I really posting this?

Well seeing as how it's already on Facebook, I might as well post it here too. A friend from Jr. High/High School recently found and posted a picture of me. I'm probably 11-12 in this picture, and obviously so stylish it's a practically a crime.

PS. this would put the year around 1990-1991. So basically layered skirts and side ponys were already out of style I think. But that's how I roll, behind the times baby. Now in case you can't tell, on my t-shirt are teddy bears holding balloons. Yeah. And I was OBSESSED with that shirt. Couldn't explain it if I tried. The vest is one that came from my grandma. It was bright pink with a gold fringe thing along the edges. I don't know.

Whew! Well I hope you enjoyed this hilarious peek into how awesome I truly am. Try not to be too jealous.

February Photo Challange: Week 1 & 2

Hey guess what? I've only missed a couple days so far. I'm okay with missing some though, cause I'm still having fun with it. So here we go, first 2 weeks:

 

 Day 2: Words- What color to choose? I went with Break A Leg Warmer. On one nail. And it stayed there for 2 weeks and I never painted the rest. Fail

 Day 3: Hands- Sweet little hand. Also? Someone cut this poor guys nails already!

 Day 5: 10 Am- Reading to Q

 Day 7: Dinner- Consumed! Yes, I leave the crusts behind sometimes. Don't judge.

 Day 7: Button- On my pretty new shirt 

 Day 8: Sun- Not around here, so a song instead. Notice the nail polish? Ha! What a dork

Day 9: Front Door- Blurry, but it's all I got. The door to the building I work in.

Day 11: Makes you Happy- Sweet husband making delicious breakfast

Day 14: Heart- These guys (Q was going in for a smooch, but I missed it)

Talk Talk, all you ever say is "blah blah blah"

It's strange this whole blogging thing. My main point in doing it is to document the little things going on. So posts like the Friday Five, or the monthly updates on the boys- those are easy. They're what I'm here for in the first place. But I sometimes wonder what else I might have to say. What else I might want to write down and get out there. It should be no big mystery that I'm not much of a writer. The most I can usually hope for is relatively decent grammar, few spelling errors, and for maybe a few people to chuckle here and there. (Did I just throw out a "chuckle"? I don't think that's a word I really use. I feel weird now.) Anyway, my point is I sometimes feel like I want to do more than that. But then I feel stuck. What to write about? No, I can't write about that- no one will find that interesting. No not that- its too weird. Or I think of something, and maybe even start a post but never finish. So what I'm saying basically is that I may or may not start trying to put more out there. Or it'll continue to be an occasional update on the boys and not much else. I guess that's okay too.

Archer Oliver: 2 Months Old!

Little guy, is not so little! We actually just had his weight checked again (At 7 weeks he was 12.5) He's now weighing in at 12lbs 13oz. I forget what the length/ height was, but he's a tall boy! Oh, and the day we had his appointment at the cardiologist they told us they'd had another baby named Archer in their office that same day! Craziness.
He's still sleeping really well, which is so so nice. He's being doing great with daycare and just spends all day being sweet and smiley by all accounts. He's proving to be a really easy baby. And everyone tried to tell us that never happens twice. Liars!

 2 Months! And Robots!

Happy guy! 

 Can we talk about these eyelashes? Ridiculous!

Mister doesn't care for binkies, but hasn't quite got the thumb thing down

Quintin Montgomery: 22ish Months

Little Q is a lot if fun these days. He's also a real pain sometimes. I'm pretty sure if any of us spent extended periods with toddlers before getting knocked up, well we wouldn't get knocked up. Still I guess he's hilarious and awesome more often than not. I have no size stats for you. I can say that I keep having to get new clothes for him. He's still tall and skinny. He says a ton of words now, more and more every day (well when he feels like it.) I try and make him say hat and bert (like of bert and ernie fame) all the time, cause holy cow is it cute. He runs around like a mad thing, loves hop hop, and is quite the enthusiastic dancer. You should see him go. He makes me play or sing the Mickey Mouse hot dog song over and over, and repeat. He still just says 'gog gog' when he wants to watch mickey, sees him somewhere, or wants to hear that damn song. He loves music and has quite a few jams. He loves that KIA commercial with the creepy hamsters and that Party Rock Anthem song. Now if I could just get more dancing and less whining, that'd be great. Also please god make him stop saying 'more' when he wants something. Moremoremoremore.... Okay kid, I get it. I will take moremoremoremore hugs and kisses though.

"This is what I think of your stupid Valentines..."

Or at least that's what I imagine Q was thinking when he crumpled up the various Cars valentines I'd left around the house for him to find. I didn't expect him to have too much interest and I figured they'd be destroyed, but watching him take three of them and crush them in his hand... rough, man. After that he threw them in the garbage. Then dug them back out and threw them here on the floor. What a weirdo.

Friday Five

1. Cougartown returns on Tuesday, the 14th, on ABC. I demand you watch it, for no other reason then I will be pissed off if it gets cancelled because of bad ratings or something. You know, cause everyone else is watching American Idol. (I don't have any idea when American Idol is actually on, but I know it's on, like 4 days a week.) Listen, it's a crappy titled show. They know that, and have poked fun at it. (Here's a video of the cast trying to think of new titles.)  But it's REALLY funny. If you liked Scrubs (and we shouldn't be friends if you didn't. kidding! sort of) you'll like this, promise. And it's not about Courtney Cox scamming on younger guys. Just for the record.

2. Remember how gloaty (is that a word? Well, it is now) I was about getting everything together and leaving the house on time last week? HA! hahahahaha. Monday as I frantically tried to rinse conditioner out of my hair in the bathroom sink (And really I should know better; my hair is so thick that process just takes FOREVER) I realized how silly I'd been. But whatever, I was able to wash bottles and pump parts when I got to work. You just wrap them up in paper towells and shove em in your pump bag. And who wants to eat food from home? Eating out is much more fun. Ok, so I almost cried when I got to work, pulled my cream cheese out of the fridge and realized I hadn't brought my bagel. But monday's are just emotional for everyone, right?

3. Cougartown comes back next week. Tuesday, the 14th. You don't have good valentine's day plans anyway, right? Oh, and if you need a catchup before the season starts I believe this saturday night there'll be a little marathon. ABC

4. Speaking of Valentine's day, I kinda forgot it was coming. I'd had a little project I was going to attempt that I saw on Pinterest. But let's be honest, who actually does any of the thing they see on Pinterest? Oh, you do? I see. Well I just like looking at pretty stuff. Oh, and here I am if you wanna follow. Anyway, my husband probably doesn't really care and my boys are too young right now. But some day I'm gonna be all over heart garlands, sandwiches cut into heart shapes, valentine mail boxes and cute handmade valentines for classmates.

5.Okay, so we're maybe looking into getting a double stroller (although I don't know where we put it. It turns out we really need a bigger car. booo)  Any recommendations would be awesome. Graco has a new one with like 56 configurations, but I haven't looked at it in person yet, so we'll see about that. Also, if I could avoid spending $1000 that would be nice.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. This weekend I'm going to attempt to upload pics so I can finish some posts I have patiently waiting. Maybe do some laundry. Mostly just smooch all over my little guys and try and get some extra sleep.Exciting!

PS- Bonus! #6- Remember how awesome Kristen Bell and the sloth are? Well they've been auto-tuned and it's more awesomeness. Go here!
