monday phone dump

from left to right.

* after we spent all morning cleaning we decided to reward ourselves with a lamb and falafel döner from the kebab shop. if you’re in the san diego area it’s a must try.

* i was cleaning out all the kids clothes so i decided to see how my progress was coming along with all my old jeans. i can fit into three pair but with major love handles. it just boggles my mind how at gap a size 30 falls off, meaning i need a 28. all my old jeans are 28’s and a few 29’s and with some my ass stops them from going up. gah. oh well. by my birthday i should be there, if not sooner. three months and counting.

* going through the garage looking for our house improvement folder i found an envelope with pictures from these photo shoots here and here. i cried when i saw my grandma and i. i miss her so much.

* saturday our oven was cranking out the goods: green velvet cupcakes for an 18th birthday, irish soda bread (deets on that tomorrow when i link up with tuesdays with dorie) and some banana choco-chip muffins.

* part of the spring cleaning involved moving both couches and cleaning under our area rug, baseboards,  etc. we had a sweet dance party going on and payton played with her shadow.

* payton’s kid plate at the kebab shop. insane. we ended up buying additional flatbread on our way out to make jim’s lunch for today.

* before the storm hit the kids and i got to the park fairly early. i wanted to make sure payton had a good amount of time to exert engery before being indoors all weekend.

* oh, and that sweet little boy turned five months yesterday. hopefully it won’t take me two weeks to take his picture and get his post up like it has the past four months. bad mommy.
