Wedding Frenzy

All along I was not really that into the Royal Wedding hoopla.  Yes, I had my very own little crush on Prince William back in the day, but just like his hair, so went my crush.  My interest was just not there with it being all I saw on Twitter/entertainment news over the last week or so. "We are not in Britain!  Why do they all care so much?" I wondered.  I felt a little more like the girl in the bottom left corner of this photo.

Like, "Can it just be over already?"

But then the other day, after stumbling upon a few shows about William and Kate (now Catherine...I wonder how she feels about having to change her name?  Brides usually have a hard time changing their last name, can you imagine changing your first as well?)  I sort of got sucked in.  So, I tried to stay up and watch the wedding, though set our DVR just in case.  I made it to about 1:30 am, and decided that the actual wedding was too far off, and that I was going to sleep.  I somehow just woke up as Kate was exiting her car, and was able to get a view of her dress.  It was GORGEOUS!  

Very Grace Kelly.

I tried  to stay awake for the ceremony, but sort of had my eyes closed for most of it, so I may go back to see a few bits of it on the DVR.  

I love that they drove away in this little car from the palace.

Spring In Your Step

Spring is definitely here.  Some days have felt down right hot even.  So with the warmer weather, we've been spending more time outside.  Little L has been enjoying this immensely, as any two year old would.  Pretty much every day he asks to go play at the park, or in the yard.  And, allergies and energy permitting, he does.

Photo of the Day: Easter Edition

Happy Easter!

Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

I Forgot!

I meant to mention a while ago that Erica (of San Francisco...Sometimes) and I did a little collaboration a couple weeks ago.  By collaboration, I mean we decided to do something besides dinner before seeing a movie, and did a photo shoot instead.  Go check it out :)

Bunny Napkins

Since tomorrow is Easter, I've been looking around for some decorative ideas for our family gathering.  I came across these bunny napkins on the Martha Stewart website (which honestly, were a little confusing, since they were just diagrams instead of pictures).  But, you don't even need to go there, cause I have the directions and photos here for you!

First, lay out your napkin flat, top side down.

Next, fold in the top and bottom portions like a piece of paper going in an envelope.  It should now be 1/3 of the size.

After that, you'll fold the two corners down the middle, so it looks like this.

Next, you fold up the bottom corners, like this.

The next thing you do is sort fold/roll in the bottom portion of the napkin. (these are going to be the ears)

Flip your napkin over, ears facing up.

Fold up the bottom portion to make a triangle.

Now stand up your napkin, and tuck one of the corners back into the other.  Then stand up and you have your bunny napkin!

Bossypants

I just finished reading Bossypants, by Tina Fey.  It was so funny.  I would definitely suggest you go out and get this book, because it is a great read. You know how people are always on the hunt for a good book for vacations or for when they are sitting out by the pool?  Something good, but not too serious?  This is your book.  It took me not quite three nights to read it, and not like full late night reading.  So, it's definitely a quick read.  Go get it!

Open For Play

Back in October someone set fire to the mall by our house. While they are still working on the damage done to the area immediately surrounding where the fire took place, they have slowly been reopening different sections. Today they FINALLY opened up one of the play areas (the other is still under construction). They certainly went all out with the balloons/decorations in the area. Little L enjoyed them almost as much as getting to run around and play on the new equipment. I (sadly) had to carry him out kicking and crying when the mall was closing, and it was time to go home.

L and the Giant Lemon

As I previously mentioned, we went to a friend's farm yesterday. Little L got do do a lot of fun things there, including pick some fruit (oranges and lemons). This one lemon has got to be the biggest lemon I've ever seen. It's seriously gigantic.

A Day at the Farm

Today we went to visit some friends at a farm that their parents live on.  The little guy had a TON of fun.  He fell asleep on the way home, but right when he woke up as I was taking him out of his car seat, he started trying to rebuckle himself, and said, "I go see friends."

There's three little boys in there...somewhere.

Currently Listening To: Kyo

I've recently finally gotten around to putting a stereo put in my car so that I can easily listen to my ipod & iphone while I'm on the go.  Because of this, I have been reunited with some old music that I had forgotten about.  This French band, Kyo, is one of them.

Drama Queen

I don't know that I'd ever actually wear this skirt (or is it a dress?), but there is still something about it that I am kind of loving.

It's just so unique!

Currently Listening To: Nirvana

Since it is the 17th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, I've been listening to a little Nirvana.  And I can't listen to Nirvana, and not listen to the recording from this live unplugged performance from MTV. (it takes a little bit til you get to the actual song.)

The last little bit of the song always just gets to me.

The Epitome of Grunge

RIP Kurt.

Movie Monday: Marie Antoinette

I love this movie.  Not because it is particularly good, but because I love the look of it.  I also love the use of the 80s music as a soundtrack.  And also because I have a slight crush on this guy...

I don't even want to hear you say anything negative about Jason.

On to the costumes!

Love this look.  But that's probably cause I've always wanted to go to a masquerade ball.

I'm including this one, just cause it made me laugh a little.  If Steve Jobs had been around in the late 1700s...

Creeeepy

The Etsy website always has a wide variety of items for sale, which I can end up losing a lot of time browsing. I came across these salt and pepper shakers today (http://www.etsy.com/listing/63764134/baby-hands-ceramic-salt-and-pepper?ref=fp_treasury_3) and I find them a little terrifying.
