yup. we are those parents.

today we are taking our girls out to breakfast before "school".... little do they know that instead of going to school, we are heading to DISNEYLAND!!!! my youngest monster's birthday was the 9th, so this is her birthday gift from her bebe & papa (aren't grandparents the bestest???) anywho, hope all you guys have fun at work today, i will be chillin with mickey!!!!

and just because i want to share, here is a pic of my 4 year old dare devil on her birthday this year...

new year...new dreams...

well, this post is a bit late. 13 days late to be exact. i had wanted to start off the new year, blogging my <3 out... obviously, there was a hiccup in the road. actually, there was a whole big suitcase full of hiccups. but, now i'm getting back on track!!!

so this post is my "new years resolutions" post, however, my yoga instructor Jill said that we are destined to break "resolutions" so this is my "to do list"

i am going to come back to this list, throughout the year and check off when i actually accomplish it!!!

1. redo aubrey's room (i am soooo sick of the pepto bismal walls)

2. get new window treatments for ava's room (the shabby chic ones that matched her crib ensemble, no longer go with my elvis lovin' kids personality)

3. finish up my "craft cabinet" (finished, but already need to reorganize!!!)

4. craft more

5. take pictures of every day life... not strive for the "perfect picture"

6. jump to fly. not fall.

7. laugh more, yell less

8. redo the girls hallway (paint chalkboard walls, hang new pictures, paint the top part of the walls a fun color)

9. find one thing about myself i actually like.

10. make others feel good about themselves.

11. make more cuppycakes.

12. get more active. get the girls more active.

13. eat better.

14. go to the dentist. yeah, wehoo. need a root canal.

15. go to the eye doctor and get new goggles. i have actually ventured back into the world of contacts!

16. de-clutter my kitchen.

17. learn how to make biscuits and gravy.

18. have more slumber parties with my girls.

19. sing more.

20. enjoy the giggles.

ok... some are actual "to do" list things.... and some are more "reminders". sometimes i need to be reminded to see the beauty and the wonder and the magic and the joy in the world... to see this all through my girls' eyes... so, here is to a rad 2011. i am going to kick *butt and take names!!! (*word changed in case my mama reads this)
