pooped...

the title of this post was supposed to be, "SATURDAYS ROCK!!!"

i was super excited today to blog about how much i love saturday mornings around our little household... but now i'm feeling just a little pooped. the little munchkin had a meltdown before bedtime.. and sometimes that takes the wind out of my sails just a little bit..

now i'm ready for some warm frothy beverage and snuggling up on the couch.. i'll be asleep within the hour:-)

at any rate.. i was a busy little shutterbug today, so i'll give this post a shot.. it'll be good to get it all out...

i forgot to show you what we did with all of the broken crayons for daddy's Valentines Day present from the little munchkin...

so we usually hang out in our pj's for a bit watching a little sesame street, listening to some music (this morning it was d'angelo).. and catching up on some reading of something or another...

daddy with his morning news and coffee.. 

he has a bit of an attention problem.. hence the actual paper and the laptop..

my munchkin is quite an artist! 

can you see the fluidity and depth in this original work or art?

hubby and i used to hang out at the big book store and rummage through the magazines for a couple of hours over coffee on saturdays even before the little munchkin came.. 

i promise we always put them back where we found them before leaving.

now the little munchkin shares our love for saturdays at the book store... 

oh.. we read Green Eggs and Ham today.. in honor of Dr. Seuss's 106th birthday last week..

a couple of the munchkins little pals joined us for the festivities...

at any rate,

on the way home we picked up some potting soil (and a sledge hammer?) to get ready for some spring planting... i'm giving it another shot this year.. i'll be working on a container garden for the back deck.. i only got one tomato last year.. i'm new at this so i'll be channeling my inner martha...

a sledge hammer? something is really wrong with this man...

p.s.
i neglected to mention the loads of laundry, dishes, stinky diapers and continuous sweeping, and slaving over a hot stove.. it ruins the fantasy..

it's a wonderful life..

no really.. it is:-)

the doctor will see you now..

so i mentioned in an earlier blog. that this is like my cheap new therapy.. blogging that is.. it allows me to zone out for a bit, forget about the mundaneness (is that a word?) and troubles of the day.. and focus on what makes me happy. my family, all things beautiful, God's great gifts:-)

somedays i feel like super woman! super mommy! the world is my oyster.. and some days (like today).. like the big "L".

i havent been watching much crappy TV.. although i did have a three way conference call last night to watch "Let's talk about Pep". a train wreck.

but i digress (as i usually do).

while thumbing through some of my favorite mags.. i ran across these things that made me grin
