Talented guy plays with his balls on the piano

Hahaha, I know you all are dying to see this now.
(get your minds out of the gutter....like I'd post something more inappropriate than toilet training mishaps)

Being a pianist myself, I was quite impressed. It's hard enough to play the piano this well with your fingers....let alone your balls. ;-) Enjoy!

Pretty much am planning to recreate this living room

I am IN LOVE with the "office". This is totally what I need to do with the multi-purpose room in my house. Living room/workout room/office/toy room.

See what great ideas you can find in this room for your small space! (Thanks Steph for pointing me to this blog...love those pelmet boxes too!)

CLICK HERE to view Jordan's living room. I'm headed to Craigslist now to find me something for my new office.

Okay, So far I have found this one. Only $60

I also like this one Only $45 (maybe even better) Could be really fun with some paint (Sorry cherry wood lovers)...but where is Ford Island?

And this one is $150...I offered them less. We'll see what they say! ;-)

A fun website

Hey Mom's. I found a fun website today. It has some cute ideas to do with your kids. One of my favorites is this. Banana Hotdog.

The website is called speakaboos.com

It had lots of fun ideas for crafts, and other easy kid friendly recipes, and activities.

Thank goodness for retail therapy...

We had a good time shopping yesterday. We hit up Wal-Mart with our gift certificates from Christmas, Target for their 50-75% off valentine candy sale, and Goodwill in search of a Princess blanket for Eden's bed. I was going to make her a cute princess quilt, but by the time I bought all the materials it would cost about $20, and then by the time I finished putting it together, she would probably be out of her princess stage (ha! ya right).

But, we did find Goodwill in Pearl City, and for $3.99 found the perfect princess blanky. And it's now lying happily on a little girls pink bed. And guess what? Last night was the fist night in MONTHS that she has slept in her own room all night long.


I'll post pics of our goodies soon. But in the meantime, I thought we looked pretty funny walking out of Goodwill yesterday, so I had to snap a photo. Tex was sleeping in his car seat when we got to the store. I felt bad waking him since it was his 1st nap of the day and it was 4:30pm. Eden was pretty tired too, so I put her in the umbrella stroller, attached Tex's carseat to the handle bar on the side. While shopping, we found a cute toy shopping cart for Eden, so she is pushing that with all our goodies inside, while I push her...walking through the parking lot. We made quite the train.

Thankful for diaper rashes...

Dear Tex,

I'm glad you woke up last night at 3 in the morning, crying out for me. It really made me happy to know that you knew you could cry, and that I would come help you.

I'm happy that I was the one who was able to change your diaper, so that the rash on your poor bum wasn't bothering you anymore.

And I'm happy that I wasn't in a rush to run back to my own bed. I'm glad that we were able to lay together for a while, snuggling and watching each other. For a moment it seemed like time stood still, and I could keep you as my baby forever.

I'm glad that you are mine. I'm glad you woke me up.

Love,

Mamamama

Of course, I should be working out...

But, there is still so much to post about. Since I have a million and 1 super fun photos from my 6 week trip to the mainland, I thought I might try something a little fun and different to try and catch up.

Each Tuesday and Thursday I'll pick a number at random, and post that photo (or the best one 5 photos forward or back) from my computer. If there happens to be a story, I'll fill you in. ;-)

First #814: The ornament she made at her Na Kamalei Pre-school. She loved gluing more and more googly eyes on it. It was pretty cute.

5 forward,
Okay, these photos just happen to be from when we returned.
My brother found the kids the funnest toy! A little hamster. He travels around and around our little place most every day of the week. The kids love to chase him around our house. Whenever he runs into something he spins around and heads a different direction. Thanks Miah, Rachel, Deja, and Chance for the present...they love it!!!!! (especially now, since it is there only pet. Sadly enough, we had to let our rats Zoe, and Bella go to another home...since our landlord didn't want ANY pets...even if they live outside)

and 5 back.

Grandma Parker...Eden LOVES her princesses. They go just about everywhere with her. She is actually pretty good about sharing them with Tex, which is suprising because she loves her princesses SOO much. I loved how she lined them up in front of her dollhouse the day we got back from our trip. (she is really into making lines lately...it must be something to do with school)

And here she is getting ready for bed. Gangs all here!!

Cannot believe how the time flies...

Tonight, I was looking at a few old photos and came across this. It just makes me wonder...where does the time go? And just look at all that chub, it just makes me smile.
