So I put together this video of our prom photo shoot this morning. :) Gab and I went together with my friend, Hannah. It was yesterday night, and my ankles and shins are still aching.
But it was awesome. Hope you like it!
(5 brownie points if you know what movie our 'princess waving' is from)
It's Bug's favorite thing to wear. And so, it only seemed right that, for his birthday this past Sunday, we make him a baseball cake.
Yes, our little baby bug had his 3rd birthday. Here are some great pictures to sum him and his special day up. :)
aren't his eyes *lovely*?
sorry, had to 'erase' his name that we put on the rim. that's why it looks foggy in all the hat pictures. :D
notice Gab and mom's scared looks when i hit the pinata. :D
The little blonde girl is 'A' from Pure Joy. We had their family over for his 'party'. :)
please excuse how weird i look in all of them. And Gab and I were all fancied up because we went to the swim team banquet before. :)
I think he had a wonderful birthday. :) Happy late birthday again, Bug!! I can't believe you're 3.
I'm really sorry I can't be here for it...but know I'll be thinking and praying for you today. You're the best mom ever. I, for one, will never forget you. ;)
It's been great these past 14 years. This is to thank you for them...
Of course, on Daylight Savings, you always wonder about those poor people who *forget* to spring forward/fall back...you think "wouldn't it be awful to realize that you're an hour off?".
And you'll be glad to hear that now I can confirm your theory. From experience. :D
Today, for the first time I can remember, we forgot to reset our clocks last night.
The main reason, probably, being that Mom's on a retreat and couldn't come in our rooms last night to say, "Set your clocks an hour forward!" (I will never undervalue it again).
But, thanks to the satellite clock in our car and a couple minutes of major freak-out, Gab, Dad, and I made it to church on time. Only because we were supposed to get there an hour early for choir practice (which we completely missed :P).
But...it's all good, right? :D No major damage done. Just a couple extra trips to church for the others that weren't so lucky.
But just FYI...
...forgetting about Daylight Savings is *not fun*. ;)
I know I've been gone lately...I've been really busy (read: school, swimming, orchestra, school...) lately. But I just had to post on this special occasion. ;)
So if you read this today and you have a blog, you should join me and list 11 things that make you happy. :) Just for today. Because the next time this sort of thing will happen is 12/12/12. And that's in over a year.
1. Obviousness. Yes, I really do. Most of the time. Here's what made my day a couple days ago:
2. Movie Quotes. Gab just told me, "You're hair looks...exciting!" (megamind)...no, that's not a good thing. :P Oh, and movie clips. This is what we've been watching over and over...
3. Hot chocolate. There's been a lot of that around here lately.
(no, that's not mine. :P kinda wish it was, though...)
4. Fridays!!! (friday, friday, gotta get down on friday...)
5. Fall. The leaves are changing. It's gorgeous.
(not mine either. but it's pretty...)
6. Apple Pie for breakfast. ;) Don't ask.
7. Thinking about sleeping in. *sigh*
8. Food. :D I know, I know...but I'm a swimmer.
9. Inside jokes. We have a ton of those going around our house right now...
10. Music! Especially this song:
11. CHRISTMAS. Can't wait. :)
Lots of love,
~Vivi~
P. S. Today at practice our coach made it an 11 practice. Every single set was of 11. And in the end we swam 111 yards for warm down. :P
