our last weekend as a trio

assuming that this was our final weekend as a three-person family, we decided to go ahead and make it an honest-to-goodness weekend, which, for parents of a two-year old means that we watched a movie and took a road trip. i know, i know, we are wild and crazy. its hard to imagine how we can be so carefree and spontaneous, but we are.

actually, we had the opportunity to have some friends from church watch jack friday night while we went to the movies on a gift certificate.

we saw will ferrell's blades of glory, and it was actually pretty funny. i'm not a huge will farrell fan, but i really enjoyed this film, probably because i don't like figure skating very much, and enjoyed the parody. it was good to have a little evening to ourselves and experience a little calm before the storm.

saturday morning we got up and took a road trip up route 31 north to route 46 in buttsville, nj; up near interstate 80. we went to flea market and then crossed over into pa for some walking around at the outlets. finally we ate lunch at this little hot dog place i've been itching to go to. it was alright, nothing that i would go crazy for.





so we had a nice weekend. it has rained all day today, and looks to rain most of the night tonight. i have a meeting all day tomorrow and probably won't post. and soon, very soon, we should be taking a little trip to the hospital. every moment is ripe with anticipation...

That sounds like an awesomely fun weekend! no wonder there were naps going around!

i am not even going to address the comment about hot dogs in buttzville. that's just too easy...


billy, sorry we didn't call! that would have been awesome to see you guys. we actually went all the way to the outlets and as we passed the exit for 209 or whatever that road is, we thought about you guys.

mary, watch your mouth. geesh.

Why didn't you include the picture of Shannon taking a bite out of the hotdog sign? hmm.....
Glad you guys got a night out. Maybe you could sneak another one in this weekend unless Shannon goes into labor. My tried and true theory is that when you make plans the baby comes. Happened with both of mine and I had a few friends have to cancel plans with me because of labor. So maybe you should plan a visit here this weekend?

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus...

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...
