Lazy Weekend

I know, two blogs in the same week weekend!  You must think the world is ending... Nope just having a super lazy weekend so far :)  Thought the least I could do was update you on our lazy happening.

Miss B and I have been doing a lot of this...

A little of this - it's KINDA HOT for a lot of this without a pool!!

We did a little running around in the back too.

A lot of this, yep we're pretty boring :)

 Miss B didn't really like us sitting around and she was letting us know about it... LOUDLY

The hubs did a little of this...

And I did a little Chai Tea Latte...

Finally she settled down and just watched

Today I aim to get something accomplished, maybe I'll wash the cars...

Hope you are having just as lazy a weekend as we are!

Tag Tales

Last Sunday we went to early church, so of course I was scurrying around trying to find something to wear.  I have a few new dresses thanks to me madre :) so I was trying them on and as the Husband was yelling he was going to leave me I decided to go with the one I had on.  So I rushed to grab my shoes and then ran out the door just in time to see the Husband backing out of the garage.  He thankfully stopped to let me in and off we went.  During the first prayer, I felt a kind hand on my shoulder and a sweet little lady tell me she was going to tuck my tag in for me.  Immediately my eyes bulged as I remembered I completely forgot to cut off the tags!  So I sheepishly smiled back at her and yanked off the price tag as she tucked the plastic piece in for me.  I felt me checks flush as all this was going on and she gently said "Don't worry no one saw".  I hope she was right!  I slowly recovered and then after church an older gentleman came up to us as we were leaving and proudly announced that he and his wife were the ones who caught my faux pas.  Thanks for being discrete! :(  He summoned over his wife who could sense my embarrassment and quickly changed the subject.  Turns out they have family from Quinter which is where my dad grew up!  Small world!

Better Laundry

First and foremost - 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Last weekend my parents and brother got to come up to visit.  The Husband was on Senior Trip in Branson, so it would have been just B and I had they not come up!  My wonderfully awesome dad brought me a new laundry room when they visited!  We already bought a rockin' washer and dryer from him when we moved in back in 2010 (can't believe it's been that long!)  So to add to it he BUILT - yes with his own two hands - this amazing cabinet for us so that now we have the most amazing laundry room!

Disregard the messy space on the right, I still need to get some hooks to hang up the step ladder and brooms and such!

Here is a better close up of the actual cabinets

Last year he remodeled the bathrooms at their house and of course he built the cabinets that went into those bathrooms too.  I jokingly said you can do my laundry room next right ;).  Then about a month ago he called and said that he was ready to do it!  I was shocked b/c I really didn't expect him to do that for us!!  So we got right to work drawing out the plans and measuring about 10million times considering he was basically building this thing blind!  A little less than 3 weeks later this is what he came up with and it is BEA-UT-I-FUL!!!!  These pictures DO NOT do it justice at all!  Thank you SO SO SO much Dad!  I love ya!

The boys hard at work

STOP TAKING PICTURES!!!

 I think this is my favorite part!  He made slats so I can put all (4) of my serving dishes on display!  (Someday I'll have more so I can fill it up!)

While the boys were hard at work, my mom and had a super productive and awesome (we'll call it an early Mother's Day) day in KC!  First we went to the Farmer's Market in Overland Park which was AMAZING!  Then we walked around their little downtown area and ran across The Upper Crust.  The cutest little pie shop you've ever seen!  We weren't ready to eat right then and plus we figured the boys would want some too, so we got 4 mini pies to go.  We ate them that evening after dinner it was SO SO good!  Then we went to the Penny's furniture store and ordered my mom a new love seat and ottoman for her upstairs nook.  It is gorgeous the only problem is it probably won't be there for another 6-8 weeks :(  After that we went to La Bodega for lunch which was wonderful!  Then she took me to Destination Maternity to pick up some new threads (yes I looked that up on Urban Dictionary ;) for the coming months!  Destination Maternity is awesome!  It's actually 3 stores in one so they have all the price points and they had some decent sales going on when we were there.  Let's just say I'm pretty much stocked!  Thank you SO SO SO much Mom!  After that we were both pretty pooped and hungry!  So we made our way to a Starbucks with a detour to DSW on the way.  We both got just what we were looking for and were super happy campers!  We ended our day with Iced Chai Latte and a blueberry scone - so good!  Thanks for the best Saturday ever Mom!  Love ya and hope you are having a great actual Mother's Day!

PS: since we are now stacking our washer and dryer we have this great worktop for sale, it goes on top of the washer and dryer when placed side by side.  It fits on any of the front loading models that are 27" wide.  This one is a graphite color.  Highly recommend it if yours are side by side!  We listed it on craigslist for $100 - tell your friends!! ;)

Scared Fartless

Last night it stormed as we slept.   Around 1 or 2 in the morning it started to pick up with some intense lightning and thunder.  Lightning hit a tree or light post right outside our bedroom and as lightning goes gave an extra bright flash and a deafening clash of thunder all at once.  This woke me, but what really startled me was Miss B abruptly sitting straight up and farting a deadly fart while simultaneously spinning around to see what that aweful noise/stench was behind her.  The look on her face was PRICELESS!

Sympathy Preggo Dreams

Hope you are looking for a chuckle!  Here are some of my favorite preggo dreams so far.
Mine:
My mom was pregnant just like in Father of the Bride II (great movie by the way!)  In the dream I was horrified and she was all giddy.  Real life reaction - mom horrified me laughing!

Husband's:
Husband:  Are you still pregnant?!

Wife:  Yes? Why are you asking me that?!

Husband:  I just had a really vivid dream where I asked you if it had fallen out.  At first you were sure, but then you got worried and thought that maybe it had fallen out.

Wife:  Nope pretty sure I'm still pregnant...

Husband:  Ok, just checkin!

Did you get it right?!

Well if you said something along these lines (pun intended:)...

You were right!  Don't worry we had to double check our math too - hence the 3 tests!
Come November 2012, the Robinson Household will become a little sweeter!  Baby Robinson is due on the 11th of November.  Currently Baby Robinson is the size of a kumquat (looks like a minature clementine only oblong) at 10 weeks.

Little Math Problem for ya...

What do you get when you add the following?

The Old Man

The Husband turned 2-7 on Thursday!  We had quite the week of celebration!  Wednesday we went to KC and met up with Randine and Tray for dinner at BRGR - Oh my goodness!!  If you live in KC and haven't gone to BRGR, you should probably drop EVERYTHING and race there right now!  It was SUPER good!  After we headed to the Sprint Center to see none other than the Michael Jackson Circe-du-Soliel!  It was a lot of fun, but we were all a little disappointed with the lack of acrobatics.  Don't get me wrong there was lots of amazing dancing and acrobatics, but not near as much as you expect going to a Cire-du-Soliel show.  Regardless, it was a great night and I got to go to work a little late the next morning so I wasn't super tired!

On his B-Day I offered to make him food but he opted for going out for fried chicken - which was fine be my considering it was the end of the week and I'm usually exhausted by then!  He wanted KFC, but I talked him into trying a new place downtown called Oh Boy Chicken.  The catch is there are 3 restraunts in one...  Vietnamese, Fried Chicken and Seafood - how can you go wrong?!  It turned out to be really good - super juicy and really good flavor!  The sides however left a little to be desired.  The Husband thought we should get Oh Boy Chicken and KFC Sides next time.  After dinner we went home and immediately passed out on the couch.

The biggest celebration was on Saturday.  First we got to see the Jayhawks kick some Tiger-butt!!  That was AwEsOmE!  Then we headed to KC again but this time to Skate World.  Yep, we had so much fun acting like kids last year that we decided to repeat!  We had a group of about 12 people, but for some reason I could only catch Tray and Randine as they whizzed by!

 This ones my fav!

If you look really closely you can see the Husband partaking in Limbo!

It was fun and poor Husband was the only one that really wiped out.  In fact, he kinda beat himself up!  First during the backwards skate he feel right on the tuckus!  Thankfully he landed a little off midline as he has already cracked his tailbone once!  It definitely took him a few minutes to get up after that one, but he was NOT done skating!  Then later in the night he ran over his own thumb trying to weave in and out of all the little kids.  I'm still not quite sure how this happened, but he definitely strained it!  Today he is doing much better, in fact we've begun taking down the sheet rock and chipping out the tile in the basement!  It's amazing how fast demolition goes!

B did a whole lot-a this today...

VDay/BDay

Hope you all had a great V-Day!

I spent all day - no LITERALLY ALL DAY - making these pinterest inspired crafts!  I decided to make my own rosette's from ribbon and OH-MAN was that a bad decision!

10 hours later... this is the semi-finished project.  Next year it will have two smaller hearts and it will say Welcome at the top.  But it got the message across for this year!

Apparently I've got a thing for pillows as I made two more Holiday-themed pillows...

 We also got to celebrate Miss B turning 2!  I know she is just a dog, but she is our dog-child :)!

We She started  spent the day doing a whole lotta this...

 I think someone just added FOOD to my bowl!!!

She got a special breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Regular food then...Chicken and nanners her FAVORITE!!

This is an OUTRAGE!  You are making me WAIT ON MY BIRTHDAY!?!?!?  I can hardly sit still!

 She also got peanut butter for snack time, but I forgot to take a picture.  Her present is coming, just haven't gotten to the store yet!  It's called a Lickity-Stick.  Looks like roll on deodorant but it has chicken broth in it.  It's supposed to be really good for training - Training? you ask - I thought she was two, should she be trained by now??  Yeah that's what we thought, but she had other plans.  Her latest 'trick' is to go outside and bark at the tree, the sky, the dirt, a rock... pretty much anything and when you call her to come back in she just gives you a blank stare then goes right back to barking and ignoring you.  It is really REALLY frustrating!!  So I'm hoping the Lickity-Stick will give her incentive to come when we say Come again!

Monday night the Hubs was in cahoots with our Office Manager trying to get me out of the office so he could bring in some V-Day flowers.  Well I just so happened to look out the window at the exact moment he drove by and spotted him.  So I went to the front door to look out meanwhile Ronda had just given him the go ahead to come in really fast, then  she walked out to the lobby to find me.  So she quickly said Dr. Tom needed me and sent me back to his office while texting the Husband to RETREAT, RETREAT!  I though it was odd that everyone kept changing the subject when I said I think I just saw my husband drive by... that's weird.  But I shrugged it off and finally left to go home - only after the Husband sat in the parking lot for 45 min!  Such a trooper - Love Him! 
Other than that, our V-Day was nice a quiet as we HATE to fight the crowds!  We made Pioneer Woman's Tomato Cream Sauce Pasta - TO. DIE. FOR!  But then again what isn't absolutely amazing that this woman comes up with?!

We added some grilled chicken for the Hubs since he would probably wither up and die if he didn't get meat (LOTS of sarcasm with that statement!)

 GET IN MY BELLY!

Have a great week!

Finished

I FINALLY finished my little project!  It turned out AWESOME!!

The only issue is that it is SUPER tall...  It was supposed to be a side table in the living room, but it kinda dwarf's the couch...

So then I put it by the bed as a night stand and it kinda does the same thing...

B wasn't really happy that I wanted her to move for a picture

So then it went to the kitchen as a plant stand in the corner...

 Which do you like?
