Last weekend Marcus and I traveled to Austin to meet Logan Kenney who recently made his way into the world. He is so tiny and sweet, and on the day we met he was sportin' his Green just as a good Lil' Irish Lad should. Here's a pic of him and mom, Judy.
Then we went to Royce and Heather's to hang out and play with Jack. He is now "crawling"... I use this term loosely. I've never seen a baby crawl like he does. He lays flat on his tummy and uses his elbows and knees to scootch across the floor. Think "Army Guy" trying to make his way along to ground to dodge bullets and get under barbed wire. He is also pulling himself up on tables, sofas, aunts, etc. He's a very happy baby indeed! Way to go Hot Mama! BTW- H, let me know when you get those ceiling fans up!
But the largest part of my free time has been spent working on our garden. Don't ask me what I planted. I just grabbed a cart and started buying anything that caught my eye. These are the ones that I remember... a pink Jasmine (that smells so wonderful), a yellow something-or-other "brush" (bottle-brush?), Dahlias (cheery orange), an Azalea, and a double wedding something. Impressed? Whatever, at least I got it done. I've been saying I was going to do it for years (yes, years). Half the things may die, but I'm going to try really hard to keep my lovelies alive through the summer. Also, I planted my staple herbs, but I had to do some rearranging b/c Anni has NO RESPECT for my plants. So I took the three that were in her spot (where she like to lay in the mornings) and replaced them for catnip. Let's see how that works for her royal heiness!
But I've had the most fun working on the dollhouse Marcus gave me for my birthday! It took me forever to just paint it. On Wednesday I began to assemble the monster... Who knew it would be THAT HUGE!!! I'm going to have to get rid of a sofa to make room for it! HAHAHA. The look on M's face when he came from work was priceless! I think I may try to tackle the roof today... but the shingles will have to wait... each shingle has to be glued on one at a time!For those of you who think I'm crazy... did you see Grey's last night? Yeah, a dollhouse IN THE HOSPITAL??? Now that's crazy. And, BTW, I'm not neurotic as that patients daughter! Also, I was doing an online search recently, and there is such a thing as a 1:144 scale house (basically, that's like a dollhouse for your dollhouse). Wait, and worse, there was a person who was sharing a tip of how she made flower arrangements for her 144 with, get this, fake eyelashes. Bizarre. I should try to find the picture of this. Or you should, whatever. If I even get close to being that nutty would someone please medicate me!?! Seriously. I need to go back to work.
