It is a little strange to think about spring around the corner when you feel like you are still waiting for a typical harsh winter. Nevertheless, we enjoy a gorgeous sunny almost 60 degree day today. The furnace isn't running, a breeze blows through the house, this is my weather (no need for heat or air). The park is calling to us this afternoon and we will definitely answer.
How is the spring cleaning? rolling. I have productive spurts in the day. When I get that in the morning that is the best. Today it felt good. By 10am I had clean floors and rug (including under the couches) a spotless cleared out kitchen, a kitchen table I haven't seen since before the party hoopla began, two loads of laundry rolling, a clean dishwasher awaiting, and a refrigerator scrubbed inside from top to bottom. I got tired of playing that fun game of "what is smelling inside of the fridge?" and decided it needed a full top to bottom makeover. And best of all, I enjoyed a delicious pancake breakfast with Quinn too. Because apparently we missed national pancake day yesterday, and we couldn't let that one go.
With windows open, we have a happy (almost completely clean) house today.
Got to enjoy a mommy break last night with my regular movie date Jill. Regular as in every few months we try to catch that cute girly flick that is out, and have a chance to catch up too. Last night we saw The Vow, we enjoyed it, but also walked away thinking we could be way better in the film industrty than some people who put these movies together. It was cute, very very cute, just lacked a little of what we expected and wanted more of, that fight and romance to make her fall in love with him again. A couple hours away from normal mommy duty is always healthy and refreshing so it was a good evening out.
The Oscars, here are my random thoughts:
Really good show.
Especially loved the winners: Olivia Spencer, Christopher Plummer and Meryl Streep.
Billy Crystal is always funny but tasteful.
Loved Jessica Chastain's whole look, especially her hair.
Liked Natalie Portman's fun polka dots.
Would love to wear Kristen Wiig's dress.
Did Angelina really need to stick her leg out every time she stood?
...and holy cow Tom Cruise looks half his age, no joke.
If you saw him hand out the Best Picture award you know what I'm talking about.
It looks like Marerick just stepped off the Top Gun set. He is 50 this year, may as well be 25. Funny enough I googled pics and found that many others found that he looked the same way.
I mostly loved having my sweet little girl cuddled on my side as we watched all the movie stars strut the red carpet. :)
A few weeks ago we had our darling little niece's baptism.
Here are a few pictures from the event, that I didn't have the chance to blog yet.
Unfortunately I was not on top of my game with pics though. Sorry Aim.
What's going on in the audience?
"But, look at my pretty dress mom."
This moment here:
Resulted in this expression from my sister:
and that expression was from this.
Brynn's Godparents are Todd and Courtney. Todd was very excited. :)
Ugh. eyes are closed, but this was the better of the two family pictures we got.
and this, is just so sweet.
Happy Leap Day!
Happy Spring day!
Enjoy the sunshine.
