Or should I say, birthday BIG boy? Blaine is 3.....3!!!! I just can't believe how fast time has gone by. I know that's a very cliche thing to say, but it's true! And I'm a little sad that he's not a baby anymore...and he will never be a baby again. He doesn't seem to mind though. He had a great birthday and we all know that he's a whole year older, taller, bigger, smarter, funnier, happier, sillier and sweeter. Thank you God for giving me stewardship over such an angel~

ps... sorry about his nakedness...but we're in the throes of potty-trainingdom and its less messy this way lol :)

i love being a girl....

....with short hair, lol. I'm thinking about cutting all of my hair off. Don't act like you're upset, I've never had great hair. Some people just wear short hair better than long, I think. I've posted some celebrity photos so that you'll see what I mean. Let me know what you think :).

PS Kelly... i kind of stole your idea, do you forgive me?

ideas for toddler fun?

And learning? It's been snowing off and on a lot lately and that means, not much time outside :(. I'm running out of ideas, lol, any tips? We've done playdoh, coloring, reading, fort building, obstacle races and bean bag (I used rice though) toss. I'd like to keep my lil 3-year old busy so that neither one of us loses patience, hehe. Our new potty training regime helps to keep things exciting...but we want something more! So any ideas would be most welcome, I thank you~
