InstaFriday

A few months ago I started seeing Instagram links on twitter. After my nervous breakdown I got an iPhone and now I can join the fun! AND I discovered through Joy’s Hope a weekly carnival over at Life Rearranged where you share the everyday moments of your week through your phone photos.

Fun fun fun!

IF tissue

 We visited Nannie (grandmom) and she let someone empty a whole tissue box. He was in pure bliss.

IF softball

Bundled up for Daddy’s playoff softball game. They lost. I was happy because then there wasn’t a late double header… don’t tell Hot Hubby.

IF ridemakerz EliIF ridez

We went to Ridemakerz at Downtown Disney. It was A-Mazing! If you have boys you must check it out. I’ll be doing a post about it next week with an AWESOME coupon!!

IF bunkbeds

Eli was touching head to toe in his toddler bed so it was time to upgrade. Since we are short on space and tall on kiddos, bunk beds were in order. We found beds and mattresses made in the USA (you know I love that!) and the kiddos LOVE them. Now I’m trying to find non-lame-not-overpriced bedding. Suggestions please!!

IF #1 IF me and Cy

So in love with this child!! Cyrus can say #1 on command. Totally prepping his “tricks” before his first b-day party. Tiki theme at the beach… in case you wanted to know.

IF puddle

Rain. Which means we got to wear our rain boots. Since that only happens like 4 days a year, it’s a big deal. We splashed all day. Awesome.

IF cookie dough

Pregnancy craving at the moment. Chocolate chip cookies. I get sick from eating too much every day. I just can’t stop. When that first one touches my lips… (sigh)

IF lil Truckers

Something new for Eli’s Lids. Yep. Think the perfect show-stopping-baby-shower giftie for boys (and tomboys)!!

      Always missing you!! (I was feeling very friend lonely this week, then I met 3 new moms around town… God is good!) Never a Woodall replacement though!!
      You should do this too! It’s a recap of the week linky using your camera phone pix (doesn’t have to be instagram). The other blogs I’ve seen on it are super cute!

      Amen sister! The added things can add up fast. I think the coupon they gave me is a buy one get one free father’s day type thing so that’s pretty cool. We met the CEO and he is a RAD (faith-filled) guy! Love to know my $$ is going to a solid company!

    I have a deep love for chocolate chip cookies. They are one of my all time favorite foods. I wish they were good for me!

    Bunk beds ate the best except for making them :0) the kiddos love them.

    I just got an iPhone in February and I love it!

    Your children are darling and so are your lids :0)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog!

      So glad you said that about the bunk beds! It was the biggest pain in the arse to put on the sheets. I’m thinking as my preggo belly gets better, the weekly change will transition to every two weeks… I don’t even care if that’s gross.

      My mom suggested doing a kleenex box with fabric scraps as the tissue with my first lil one and I’ve never done it. Think I’ll try it this time around!
      Thanks for stopping by!

    I have got both kids bedding sets at Target. 4 yrs later Easton’s totally has held up. His is a Surfer Monkey theme and Makenlee’s is a very retro polka dot print with bright pinks and browns. Also try Homegoods/TJ Max/Ross or Ikea.

      Thanks for the tips Melissa! You are the best deal finder 🙂
      I ended up with cute stuff but they don’t go together. It’s killing me but they won’t be sharing a room for much longer so I think I’ll survive.

    Thanks for stopping by! Made my day to be visited (and commented) by someone new 🙂 Yes, 4 kids are so fun! Playmates galore. Congratulations. I scrolled down a bit and discovered that you love the theatre and dancing too. I haven’t braved it with kids yet, so I’m a little in awe of you. Have a great weekend!

      Thanks! We figure if we don’t make a habit of it now, we never will! I’ve had a few suggestions for local kid friendly theaters and I think they will be way more into that! Can’t wait 🙂
