Mom Guilt

Do you ever feel like one of your children gets more attention than the others? One that is more fun to shop with... slightly better at conversations... shares the same hobbies... appreciates your sense of humor...? ::shifty eyes::  Uhm.. yeah, no, of course not. Who does that??

OK, but, what if one is an AWESOME model compared to the others. Cause you know, it all comes down to the photos.

In other news, I might be narrowing down on the paint colors for my hall and living room.  I'm not totally helpless, I really like this blue for the living room... 

but I'm having the hardest time picking for the hall. Now is your chance to affect the lives of people you barely know... WHICH COLOR????

From bottom to top is Olympic Timeless Taupe, Valspar Celery Root and Valspar Pine Bark. Help me! You don't even want to know how long my walls have been multi-colored.

OMGOMGOMGOMG!! It's SPRING!!!

Yes, I know, it isn't officially spring until tomorrow. Stop bringing me down you haters. It's just that I was raking up all the thousands of leaves that somehow were missed in the fall, and peeking out from under the damp, rotting piles were these...

and these...

and this...

I don't even know what THIS is. I was in such a frenzy of bulb distribution last fall that I can't remember which ones I planted, or where I planted them. Should make for edge of your seat excitement in the next few weeks. Heeeeeeeheehee!!!! Shut up, I am not a loser.

Had to share this... Yesterday I discovered my new favorite musician. Check her out HERE. Thank you Nie Nie!

Old Economy Village

 Saturday was our annual trip to Old Economy Village in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. The last Saturday of every September is the festival of Erntefest in the village. They have tours and demonstrate life in the 1800s. Lots of food, fun, and frivolity. Yeah... I was searching for that last F*.





Sebastian learned how to make giant soap bubbles with string.

Even the local wildlife were enjoying the day and each other's company.

The girls found new, err OLD, ways to keep their little brother from running off. The ropes had been made a few minutes earlier.

Sebastian helped with the apple press for yummy fresh cider.
