instafriday #8

-this week-

this week was super busy and filled with good, fun out of the ordinary things + a little extra on the everyday living side of things... but it seemed like a long week. don't ask me how that happened. usually when it's like that it will go by fast and seem short. not complainin'.. just sayin'! maybe it's because i can hardly wait to go visit my sister and the 29th couldn't possibly come quick enough...

everyday last weekend we did something to celebrate sydnee's golden birthday! my polka dot rugs came in the mail and i love them so... no school monday = good times with friends. orthodontist appointments and lunch dates. yummy dinner and a favorite movie with mr. yummy! cateye makeup and vintage hair kinda day.~ favorite things. spring cleaning and organizing solutions with a vintage wire basket and table cloth! caucus meeting and a late night run to in-n-out!!

how was your week??

I need a jump start...

I’ve sat down to post one of many overdue topics several times and subconsciously I really don’t want to and end up snooping around blog land for kitchen re-do inspiration amongst other things. 

Sydnee’s friend brought her little pet bunny she just got for her birthday to school on Monday and ever since she’s been driving me nuts for a bunny. EVERYDAY! Chandler really wanted one a couple of years ago and we thought about it but never got one. Truth be known, I’d love a bunny too. I’d love a handful of bunnies. I’d love some chickens and goats and a mini-farm too! My first answer was no way, because of course we don’t live on that mini-farm that I so wish we did..  but after all the constant little bunny notes and asking me over and over and over again, I just decided to look some up on the classifieds. They are so cute… no wonder she wants one so bad! Tanner & Chandler want one now too! This got my wheels turning… I called Andres to ask him if there’s any way we could figure out how to turn our existing suburb home on a small lot into the mini-est farm ever and make room for some bunnies. I’m seriously considering ripping out most/all of my grass in the backyard, extending the back patio to run almost the full length of the house, building a very small sized barn and fencing off the rest of the side yard area for keeping small farm animals. Oh how I’d love me some chickens and goats to go along with those bunnies. I think a cow named Millie and some horses would be great too, but those would definitely have to be on a larger farm.  My back yard is already pretty messed up from our two little ponies huge dogs so why not take it a step further and intentionally make it a place for animals.
Anyway, that’s just a small portion of what’s been on my mind lately. It’s full to the brim! Full of ideas, of things I desperately need to get done, of all sorts of stuff! One thing I can say for sure is… I am tired of this ups-y downs-y weather we keep having, I can’t seem to get the temperature right in the house. I’m always cold, like right now to be exact. OH! And my laundry is crawling up the wall. Hooray!
Today I need to: (this was Thursday)
*Finish this blog post
*Easter preparation
*Costco run (outta T.P. and other things)
*Make two dozen cookies for Relief Society tonight (ended up buying them @ Costco instead)
*Share my thoughts on what's helping me to build my foundation @ Relief Society
*and all the other regular things... like making lots of trips to and from the school picking up kids on different schedules, help with homework, take the boys to music lessons, etc.
I can't believe it's been almost a month since I went to Tanner's little singing program at school. He was so excited for me to come. They've been working really hard on all the songs for quite some time now and he couldn't wait for me to see them sing "The Tooty-Ta" song. He kept telling me that there was a part in the song where I'd have to participate! So there we were... my Mom and I singing and doing the Tooty-Ta dance amongst an auditorium of other parents and grandparents! I gotta say.. it was fun!
Here's a link to the Tooty-Ta song. We're going to do it with our family for family home evening one night, it's sure to stir up some fun & laughter!
  I think somebody has a crush on the cute little girl sitting next to him!!!

Today it’s Friday..
The sky is blue, the sun is shining & I’m happy!
It’s the kids early out day & I’ll be picking them up soon!
We’re going to look for some Easter bunnies!
Hopefully we’ll find some to bring home with us.~
Tomorrow we’ll be coloring Easter eggs, making decorations for our Sunday Easter dinner and making a bunny hutch for the yard (if we find some bunnies of course).
Sunday, we’ll celebrate Easter all day long.
