kisses

-So i have a goal.  I am going to shower and wear a cute outfit every day for the next month.  I have this goal because sometimes i don't shower (most of the time) and sometimes i just wear sweat pants or pajamas...and i have a lot of clothes that need some attention.  and i will take a picture of it too, so i am held accountable. starting this weekend.

-i had to sub yesterday for my favorite class ever, but they were NOT good yesterday and i almost lost my voice telling them to be quiet.

-hostess is no longer in business...and i have never had a twinkie

-i smell like barf because i gave char baby some of my rice crispie today and she promptly puked on me

-i had a dream that my brother was pregnant and couldn't fit into his tux for his wedding...

-yesterday my brother babysat for char baby while i was subbing, and R was at a meeting...i woke her up from her nap and her diaper was on backwards so she had wet the bed and her outfit hahahahaha R and I laughed for like 5 min straight

-i am nervous to start school again

-thanksgiving is in less than a week!!! and i have the cutest outfit for char, i can't wait to put her in it, and take family pictures!! (sorry R, more pictures are in your future)

-i can watch ELF the day after thanksgiving...plus we get TWO thanksgivings this year bring on the yummy food and the naps

-my favorite thing to do with char baby now is to say "kisses" and kiss her all over and then she kisses me back (well its more she bites me but i still count it) and she also gives hugs now

-the hubs is working a lot this weekend boo.

 char baby loves taking pictures on the big camera

 i can't even handle it. her fluffy morning hair, and yogurt all over her face 

 my little favorite

she is the BEST also 2 seconds after this picture she took off her headband

What's on A's Phone?!

well coming back from a trip is never fun, but honestly the only thing that is not fun this time is the change in climate...everything else is fine just because i think its been so nice being around R and char baby.  I really want to go traveling someday with them, i met so many families on my trip that traveled with their 6 month-3 year olds...its possible! So now i just have to figure out where, and when! not this summer because we have a lot of weddings and already are planning on going on our Acadia national park in Maine road trip which i am SO SO excited for.  but we also just found out some of our best friends are doing a ceremony in australia this summer...i think if we went to australia we would go for like 3 weeks to make the plane tickets worth it...how amazing would that be?!

anyways this is what is on my phone:

 face timing the fam while i was in nicaragua...Char was so sad one day seeing me

 where i spent the weekend...paradise!

 these were my favorite dogs at the monkey hut

 me and L

 i just want to squeeze them...look at that belly!

 char baby yelling at mawy who is trying to escape 

 missed her sweet face

i mean is there anything cuter then overalls??? i can't even handle it

rum, sun, and Nicaragua

omg i haven't written in a week!! i don't even know where to start...i had an absolutely life changing, amazing, wonderful time in Nicaragua!! It was so great to see L and see where she was going to be living, the weather wasn't so bad either (80-90 every day and SUNNY)

I didn't take too many pictures in Granada because of pick pocketing, but it was really cool to stay there and see what L would be doing for the next couple of months.

Some highlights of my trip:

1.) L's plane got delayed so I had to stay in Managua for a night without her (which actually wasn't horrible)

2.) fresh squeezed juice (YUM)

3.) learning how to salsa from a nicaraguan guy (who was also super sweaty and a little creepy, and we saw him like 3 other times..awkward)

4.) house hunting (i felt like i was on house hunters international)

5.) the beers were only 1-2 DOLLARS!!!

6.) meeting so many amazing people

7.) zip lining

8.) kayaking

9.) seeing the place where L is going to work

10.) chocolate

11.) the monkey hut

12.) losing my bathing suit top (this was a product of the rum and i never found it....good thing it was dark)

13.) my cab driver stopping to take a pee 2 times on the way to the airport

and here are some pictures:

 sunset in Granada my first night there

 L and our margs (soooo good)

 i probably should of gotten a pedicure (isn't this pool AMAZING??)

 kayaking self portrait

 dinner was so so SO yummy

What's on A's Phone?!?

Happy Friday!
Char baby and I went to jungle java earlier today, she loves it there! All the kids crack her up, and she just crawls around and burns off so much energy I love it because when we get home she passes right out.  I'm really glad she is so adventurous, she just explores everything and its so fun to watch her.

We are going over to my in-laws for dinner later, and tomorrow we are going to our local high school's play "Ragtime".  Then I leave on Sunday, this week has literally flown by.  Yesterday I woke up and thought I had gotten sick, my snot was so gross and I thought it smelled...I had R smell it but he said it didn't...I guess I have an over sensitive nose.

Anyways, again this week I was awful about the hubs pic being taken...oops! We had a lot of fun this week just us girls, I figure since I am leaving it was necessary.

 happy elephant

 our awesome pumpkin

over it

 one of her fav books (thanks M)

 baby m and c sharing snacks

Don't they look so guilty?

 cody banks

 the best face ever in life to wake up to

 hahaha this picture is so random, the hubs is up in the corner there and baby C is just sitting in the middle of the room (most likely pooping)

char baby is so cuddly when she is ready for a nap (also I am rocking a sock bun!)

anyways, I probably won't be on here for awhile I leave for Nicaragua on Sunday! I will update you when I get back!

xoxo
