tuesday

couldn't think of a good title for this post. haha!

last week (or the beginning of last week) was not so good. it was just a big ball of negative vibes, stomachaches, & headaches. t'was...very...ehh. 

BUT with the Giants winning the superbowl, i've been so happy it's crazy. 

i've been so superstitious, wearing the same outfit every game day since my birthday (with the win against the jets). hey, it's been working! call me crazy, that's fine. i scared belle when i screamed at the top of the lungs when the game ended. was even planning on going to the parade today, bringing belle along. but i don't think God will let the Giants win again if i tortured her like that...waking up super early, go on the train, waiting, the crowds. but we're currently watching the parade on tv, and belle made my day by saying, "Where's Eli???" that's my girl! haha

ok i'll stop my giant rant. i'm just super happy!

these are some random pics that have nothing to do with the giants. haha.

so belle needed help putting her pants on & i saw aris helping her.....

& a big sorry to leila.....

this is leila's toy stroller that belle borrowed. belle uses her dolls, stuffed animals on this stroller, but last week, she just sat on it & used it like a wheelchair. the back wheels just broke off within 2 days of her using it like that.

now we owe leila a new stroller!

how fun is belle's macbook?! :)

she actually started it. she was imitating me, took her doodle book opened it in half, and started "typing" on a blank page. it was so funny!
so a lightbulb went on in my head, with a joke of drawing a laptop in. i surprised her & her first reaction was, "(gasp) its just like yours!!" then she went off playing with it. so funny!

this was when she was mesmerized with a new teapot/cup set aris got her.

waiting for superbowl to start, we were working on a new puzzle. it's a huge one of USA.

it was actually fun! even i was learning a few things on geography..haha.

she was rewarded with a lollipop.

after the puzzle, we were still waiting for superbowl. she was watching a show, World's Deadliest: Predator Weapons. of course the great white was featured. and zoomed in on its teeth...

this pic is more saturated. i just faded it a bit for your sake.
when i saw it, i was holding the camera, clicked then turned away. i looked at belle for her reaction (of course thinking she would cover her eyes). but her eyes kept looking, jaw dropped, & she tells me, "wowww! look at that!" 
then ran in the room, brought out her shark (christmas gift from stef!) and joined in on the action.

i don't know what to say. haha!

& lastly, thought it'd be fun to play with self timer.

how sweet do we look?? very.
:)

Great mood

I've been in a great mood lately.

I'm not sure why. But I'm sure it has something to do with Aris bringing me to Ikea to start this week. And he treated me to some super cute fabrics. So nice :D

Creating has been fun. My mind has been very colorful. Can you tell?!

Seeing finished projects makes me even happier.

I'm so thankful for the support & help I get. Seriously, THANK YOU!

Aris says I need to update this blog more. I agree. I didn't realize I was on a once a week basis. But that will change. I'll try.

And here are some super cute pictures I lost but happy to find. I should have posted this a month ago. As you can see, the Christmas tree is still up.

This was when my cousin came over with her son, Gavin. He's 4. He was so shy when he first walked in, he wouldn't play. Then Belle broke him out of his shell. And then they were non stop buddies. He pronounces Belle, "Bill."
They are so related. Cause they both looove to make a mess.

Here are lego parts, groceries, the kitchen, etc etc everything!!
Gavin was making a castle out of legos. Then Belle came & ruined it. Gavin was pretty upset.

"BILLLLL NOOO! STOP IT BILL STOP!"

Sorry Gav.

I called Belle, "Godzilla" that night. Cause she ruined everything Gavin made.

Gavin would also run away from her. Then she would go after him...like Godzilla. hehe

Belle sent Gavin out to do the groceries...
The box..Gav pushed Belle around..then she went out. & Gav went in. Then Belle wanted to go in with him..

And my sister would pull them around.

2 little monkeys getting ready for bed. They jumped, rolled, laughed, played till this air bed ran out of air!
Belle jumping onto the bed.

Aaahhh! They're so cute, but SOO exhausting.

Can't wait to see these 2 play & make a mess out of the house again!

Hope everyone's having a good week so far!
