Beautiful and perfect things

Well we are in full pre-party cleaning mode!  I can not stop adding to the list of things that need to get done before Bell's big first birthday bash.  The thing is that I normally get crazy when I am having a lot of company and this is the first time that much of my family is going to see our new house so it is double anxiety.  I am actively scrubbing baseboards, washing doors, sucking up dust bunnies and trying to organize the kids millions of miscellaneous toys that are strewn around under couches, beds, and t.v stands.  It all seems overwhelming but I am glad to do it.  It is not often that you get to have the family together for such fun events and like I said in my previous post we are celebrating everything right!  Last night was the best with hubby home early and a little hungry hippos to top it off.
I can not believe that my little baby girl is going to be one!  It makes me a little sad being that she is "our last".  I am going to miss the little baby days where they smell like I don't know...oatmeal...I know that sounds weird but that is what my husband and I always said when they were babies.  When they are laying in bed beside you so tiny and their breath just smells like warm oatmeal.  I know that I won't miss the endless nights without sleep but the tiny baby sleeping noises, and adorable little onesies, shoes, hats...OK OK pull it together.  I have lots of other things to look forward to...this ones a cutie just take a look!

She has the funniest little faces.  This is the stuff that makes my life awesome!
Tomorrow is a day filled with grocery shopping for the party.  Lots of money to be well spent on the company of my dearest friends and family all coming together to celebrate the one year anniversary of the birth of my little Bell.

I recently found a piece of paper in a book on which I had written the words "Your baby is perfect and healthy".  I had written those words because the doctors had told me that you would not be.  Well baby girl my positive affirmation worked.  You are one of my most beautiful and perfect things.

Shit talking up all night

We are having a very slow moving day today.  Partly due to the fact, well totally due to the fact, that a entire bottle of Cupcake Red Velvet wine followed by a glass of my favorite boxed Merlot causes me to agonize over every single task this blah morning.  Therefore the children are not dressed, neither am I and you know what?  I don't care.  Truth be told the kids seem just fine and dandy with the whole wear your pajamas to lunch trend I have started.  I will walk the dog in my pajamas and wave to my neighbors looking like a total bag lady and who cares.  I was spared the headache but must have exhausted all my energy last night pouring endless glasses of mommy's little helper for me and my bestie.  Totally cool with that.  The best part...undressed babies means cute little butt cracks all over this house.  Adorable.  Don't believe me?!  Have a look.  Love it.  Noah is rocking his sweet mismatched PJ's because the kid simply refuses to wear anything that remote

Burning down the house (well the yard)

The only color in the whole yard.  Well except for white, bark, and evergreen.  Welcome to New Hampshire in the spring!! Today we got to tackle some of the tremendous overgrowth on one side of our house.  There are some wicked (Boston thing...I know) vines that are strangling the life out of all the trees.  They look just like snakes (which makes my heart race just thinking about it) that wrap up huge trees and then reach out and attach to the next closest thing.  Well we tore those bastards up today, Dov actually, but I was a good cheerleader the whole time! We started out by the rules...ya know just burning stuff 4 inches or smaller but before the day was over I wouldn't have been surprised if Dov decided to tear down the porch and throw it in there as well.  Funny thing that fire is, just kind of sucks you in and before you know it your acting like a little pyro, yeah hey lets burn all the crap in the yard-throw it in there you pussy!  DO IT! As I looked at these pictures I r

I guess I am welcoming a shit storm

Every time I go to Market Basket, or as I like to call it HELL ON EARTH, I pick up the New Hampshire Parenting magazine.  I pick it up because one I am to cheap to subscribe to a real parenting magazine that is more then 5 pages long and two because maybe there will be a idea for something to do with the rug rats locally.  In this particular edition the editors note was quite interesting...enough so that I was able to read it out loud to my husband and he didn't just nod and pretend to care while staring at the Ipod screen. It was about how the largest teachers union in New Hampshire recently banned field trips to the State House due to the fact that you are allowed to carry a gun while in the State House.  Now hold your fire all my anti-gun parents out there, but this is just ludicrous.  For years the State House has hosted a read-a-thon and many politicians and local celebs have come out to read to groups of kids that are there on school sponsored field trips.  This will no long
