I did it. I took the plunge. I did something that I have never done before. Something that I've wanted and talked about doing for a long time. <span style="font-size: large;">I got bangs!</span> *gong sounds and fireworks go off* Not gonna lie, I'm still freakin' out a bit. I've got wild hair on the best of days and adding bangs into the equation always stressed me out. But after seeing <a href="http://www.therufflehouse.com/">Kendra Robinson's</a> gorgeous hair (love the color too) and getting a new job I thought it was time for a change. Time to be daring and maybe a little weird.<br />

(Shocker, I know) I've come across these "<a href="http://fuckyeahryangosling.tumblr.com/">Hey Girl</a>" pictures a few times and think they are hilarious. After a recent breakup I decided that I would jump on that exquisitely chiseled and dashingly handsome bandwagon. So this is what I think Ryan Gosling would say:<br />

What Valentine's Day should be known as. Society has said that Valentine's Day is the day where you reaffirm the love that you feel for the people that you feel..it...for.. or whatever. Or, as most people do, just tell everyone, even those who you don't love, "Happy Valentines Day". Why? I've always thought it was a pointless holiday. You should be telling the people you love that you love them everyday not just once a year.<br />
<br />
It really should be a day for saying the things that aren't socially acceptable to tell people on a regular basis. Like: "You're a Slacker", "You Really Annoy Me" or "You Smell". See... Awkward! Things that you'd like to say but just never really felt like it was right. Also, "I Love You" most certainly fits this holiday description for some people.<br />
<br />
Any-who, Con and Jamie had Valentine's Day parties at school and they were supposed to decorate a box. I really like bucking tradition and decided to make Valentine's Day burlap envelopes. This picture is a bit grainy but there's a postage stamp in the top right corner. :) The boys liked them and that's all that mattered.<br />

So while <a href="http://lynnbobscrap-gigglesand.blogspot.com/">Jenny</a> and I were sitting on the couch "watching" the Superbowl, i.e. looking at <a href="http://pinterest.com/unicorny/">Pinterest</a>, I decided that the first thing on my bucket list would be to die my hair pastel colors. I LOVE the pinks and blues that I keep seeing every where. Here are a few of my favorites.<br />

I'm not a huge fan of these but it's supposedly inline with their new <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/26/business/jc-penneys-chief-ron-johnson-announces-plans-to-revamp-stores.html">pricing structure</a> (which isn't at all clear in their ads), but I digress.

I had never been there before and oh my gosh, I was not expecting it to be as crazy as it was. </p>
<p>We spent most of the time at the water park, which was amazing! At first Jaime didn't want to try anything or venture out of the kiddie section but the second day I got him to try everything and he had a blast! Connor made himself a posse and I barely saw him. There was an arcade, putt putt, starbucks, craft room and magi game that the kids can run around and play. I knew it had the water park but no idea of all the other amenities. Which is kinda funny since my company did their advertising for years. Oh well</p>

<p>Jenny and I planned on meeting up to ride together so when I got to the parking lot I texted her "I'm parked under the H". "There's no "H" in Meijer?!" She replied. So true.</p>

Shocking right? The great thing about where we live is how many wild berries we have. Not just the blackberries but mulberries, cherries, grapes, raspberries and apples. Okay, so not all are berries but they are all delicious and all on the property! My backyard is like a snack time smorgusboard. </p>

Seriously, we had a grid and everything. It has taken us, okay me, the better part of a month to get all the seeds in the ground. (Gardening is hard and I have the blisters to prove it!) We started in May when it rained non-stop for weeks and finally finished this past weekend when it was hovering in the mid-nineties. Michigan weather may be crazy but it sure is good for growing things.</span><br />

I'm not a baker. I also have a hard time following directions and I tend to want to do my own thing. A splash of this a dash of that and then cross my fingers and hope it's edible. Thankfully, it usually is.<br />
<br />

4 Tbsp Flour<br />
4 Tbsp sugar<br />

<br />
Buttercream Frosting<br />
Powered sugar<br />

For my first try I followed the directions perfectly and left it in the microwave for 3 minutes... and the center burnt. The second time I didn't use as much oil and I left them in for only 2:30 minutes, that worked out WAY better. I also made my own frosting. The first time with cocoa the second time I melted chocolate chips both versions were delicious. I just used what I had on hand. The second time was a delicious success!Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16183652320692675614noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5122635974047304980.post-5317472469907591742011-05-16T20:58:00.000-04:002011-05-16T20:58:46.908-04:00Skittle Theory Version 2.0I posted a while ago about my <a href="http://unicornyattitude.blogspot.com/2010/07/skittle-theory.html">skittle theory</a> but it wasn't a very good explanation. So I'm going to give it another whirl let me know what you think: Like any bag of skittles there is a variety of colors. So you try a red and it's good but not great, a green is just not for you, yellow's are a lot of fun but too much drama, another red just for kicks, then you come across an orange and they're the perfect fit, just right in every way. Then some cosmic kick-in-the balls occurs and they are no longer in your life. Does that mean they weren't the one for you? No, it means that you're perfect match is an orange. It's just digging through all the other colors to figure that out. There's not one person for everyone, there's a handful :) That's my skittle theory, hope you enjoyed.<br />

I love that it's siblings and a cousin. Makes me wish my family was more musically gifted, but to each his own. <br />

The girls had their pictures taken by <a href="http://caitlinterpstraphotography.blogspot.com/2011/05/ava-ellie-preview-grand-rapids-baby.html">Caitlin Terpstra</a> in Grand Rapids. The pictures are beautiful! You can see more of the girls <a href="http://caitlinterpstraphotography.blogspot.com/2011/05/ava-ellie-preview-grand-rapids-baby.html">here</a>. Now I'm thinking Christmas gifts for the grandparents having all the grandbabies together on a HUGE poster sized, matted, framed, and professionally taken photograph. Since Caitlin does such great work we might be coming to visit her...Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16183652320692675614noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5122635974047304980.post-36505694778603438722011-05-03T15:51:00.000-04:002011-05-03T15:51:37.083-04:00Michigan Love Monday<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

Is it something you're born with or something you have to work on and takes years of development? </span></span><br />

The boys have tons of notebooks filled with stories, journal entries, and doodles. To work on Connor's writing skills we started writing in a journal before bed so he could practice. Jamie, of course, had to have one too. He would tell me what he wanted to say about the day, I would write it, and then he would draw a picture. We've been doing this for a few years now. The other day I noticed that Jamie had a very distinct style.</span><br />

This little masterpiece was created by my four year old using sharpies. Going up the stairs was like following a marker breadcrumb trail. Every few feet there was another scribble or dash. Awesome. <br />

I love his style though, he is pretty talented.

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst">A lot happened this weekend. We had a <a href="http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/16mar_supermoon/">supermoon</a>, a thunder rain/snow storm, and the<a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/03/100321-first-day-spring-equinox-2011-vernal-science/"> first day of spring</a>! The full moon was the closest it’s been to the earth since 1993 on March 19th. It was 14% larger than normal. Could you tell? I was driving down the highway and it was gigantic! It looked like it was half the size of the horizon and orange. Unfortunately, by the time I made it home and snagged my camera it looked normal again. I was totally bummed that I wasn’t able to snag a picture. </div><br />

There must have been a lot of blinking going on yesterday; the weather just couldn’t make up its mind. I’m glad for the rain and the beginning of spring!</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst"><br />

I don’t have cable and had never heard of this show before stumbling upon it on Netflix. Now I watch an episode or two a night. This has been going on for a few weeks now and I still can’t help myself. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhplZThc5OgwUU_kcTdjLscnGWHmhD-2KB8hggZigtYhR_ISLJ5U9Spq9g7HL-Pt8d4_J9KcY0SS0UMIrKjL5d8OHImVg2YiVbP4SpuJ7AgEYe3R7h5ODtq8xzSTZZuHHnP2Ddmwc-rg8BL/s1600/ghostad2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhplZThc5OgwUU_kcTdjLscnGWHmhD-2KB8hggZigtYhR_ISLJ5U9Spq9g7HL-Pt8d4_J9KcY0SS0UMIrKjL5d8OHImVg2YiVbP4SpuJ7AgEYe3R7h5ODtq8xzSTZZuHHnP2Ddmwc-rg8BL/s400/ghostad2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAAt3MnBWGBf3adHS8dEVh2lphFaYAl74h0qKbwl3fbtKJBJuxbYwl_Q2TXv9JNpGPtHf9qCwRPrW9PTb_bOL_u_uhQ6McyDxdjmPrGLubehMBfEKOxQKHvorjqOLkm3oOHnO0z3K3Qh21/s1600/ghostad3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAAt3MnBWGBf3adHS8dEVh2lphFaYAl74h0qKbwl3fbtKJBJuxbYwl_Q2TXv9JNpGPtHf9qCwRPrW9PTb_bOL_u_uhQ6McyDxdjmPrGLubehMBfEKOxQKHvorjqOLkm3oOHnO0z3K3Qh21/s400/ghostad3.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
