It's still Monday here...oh wait, I already used that line.

Internet peeps, it's contest number two!

I won't be requiring any more pee stories from you (but by all means, if you have them--send them my way)

Instead I need you to do my dirty work. I have a maternity session coming up soon and I need you to find your favorite maternity picture. It can be from anywhere--just make sure it's awesome. Post the link to the picture in your comment and you'll be entered. Enter as many times as you'd like. I'll be using Random.org to pick the winner!

The winner gets a HUGE package of these. Ah, Christmas in Hawaii! Contest ends Friday.

Good luck!

*pssst, the more you enter, the more likely you are to win. Consider this a free tip. Now go find me awesome belly pictures.

Winner!

*because you know how I like to have blog pictures.

Friendternets, thank you for making me laugh. These contest entries were hilarious!

Our winner is.......

SARAH!

Because, seriously anyone who will tell a pee story to the Internet just deserves a tutu. It's that easy. Sarah, email me and we'll figure out the size for your prize (oooh, that's catchy!)

Everyone else, another contest starts tomorrow!

It's still Monday here...

You guys, I'm a loser. I said I'd get the giveaway up and I almost missed yet. But it's still Monday in Hawaii. Let's blame the delay on the barfing children I'm holed up with. Deal?

The first giveaway is going to be (and you never saw it coming)

A TUTU!!!

Just for my loyal readers (or not so loyal) You get your own personalized tutu made by yours truly. In pink. Because that is the color of the tulle I have right now.

All you have to is write something that will make me laugh. Jokes, memories, embarrassing stories. Bring. On. The. Funny.

Enter as many times as you want ("that's what she said!")--a inkling into my sense of humor! I'll pick the winner on Friday! Make me laugh people!

Sunday, random Sunday

• Thank you for the giveaway suggestions--I'll start putting them (yes, multiple!) on Monday. Stay tuned!


• Blake is home! I can stop sleeping with kitchen knives next to me.


• A few of our family pictures came in! Our photographer was awesome--my kids loved her. If you're ever in Hawaii and need a photographer.....WAIT A MINUTE! If you're ever in Hawaii, you'd better damn well come to me! Jerk.

• Are you kidding me that Thanksgiving is this Thursday? Where did November go? Does this mean I have to start Christmas shopping?


• Dear Person Who Decided To Cancel Pushing Daises: Consider us fighting.

Contest Time!

I'm ready to do a contest giveaway on my blog this coming week. But FIRST--I'm going to be lazy and have you readers come up with suggestions of something to give away. Oh!! and how to go about judging the winner (personally, I'm thinking of judging based on their shoes)

Ideas, ideas, ideas? Bring them on!

{insert witty title here}

Have you had one of those weeks?

Where your husband is gone the whole week? Where you imagine that at about 8pm every night everyone but you is having sex?

Where you spend two hours every day in traffic?

Where your kids are bouncing off the walls? It made me tired just watching them. The whole time I just wanted to say, "Okay you know what? You're at a 12. I need you at a 7 or 8. It is just a Thursday night."

Where you go to the doctor and hear key phrases you don't want to?

Where you just organized your whole playroom, went to take a shower, and came back to this?

Thank goodness next week is a whole new ballgame.

Colin: The Playground Chronicles

We have the pox...

...of the sticker variety.

Kate

I love: dogs, the ocean, Crocs, doing things "on my owns", Leonardo The Terrible Monster, flannel blankets, jumping, The Office theme song, dancing, brownie batter and tutus.

I dislike: sleeping, blender noises, public restrooms, clothing, Grave Digger toys and drains.

I am loud. I am fast. I am obsessed with my brother. I am strong. I am easily persuaded to be happy. I am unforgettable.

I am two. Hear me roar.

Fresh.

Readers, I'm back and I'm READY TO ROCK! Did you miss me? You know you did. Buckle in--I bring you fresh, bullet-y goodness!

• Christmas family picture season is almost done for me. I got really overwhelmed there. Way more people booked me than I thought would. Yeah, I know--my golden bed also scratches me and my diamond shoes are too tight. It's a rough life.
  
  These boys were my favorite. I learned some gross new jokes.
  
  
• Blake got stung by a bee. Turns out Blake is allergic to bees. Being the medical doctor that I am, I pronounced he had "the flu" and then spent the rest of the day avoiding him like the plague to keep from getting "the flu". As wife points go, I give myself a 2 out of 10 (the 2 because I did take the kids wherever I was avoiding him from)

• Colin's kindergarten teacher had her baby. Not huge news for you, but I came this close to jamming this little girl in my camera bag and carrying her home. Wouldn't you?

• We are still really obsessed with our Halloween costumes here:

• At photo shoots, I really really like to have kids make funny faces.

• I have more, but I don't want to overwhelm you today. Now you may write me a comment about how your life was dull and meaningless without me.
