Party Girl!!

Our daughter has been to more parties in her 2 years than Antz and I have been to combined! We had a blast at Aiyana's Star Wars birthday party and then we headed over to our friend Christina's Aloha party. We were super tired but we still managed to walk to NELA art walk too.

I know I'm posting a bunch of the same but I love how Liv hams it up  for the camera. She's totally copying her Dad, I love it!

Nina and Liv had awesome retro Star Wars tees

The birthday girl, Leslie's Mom made her Leia costume!!

Leslie's brother & Chewy

Leslie has some major force happening

So many sweets for this kid

Yoda cookies made by Leslie, Olivia ate about 5 cookies!!

This cute little guy is Berlin. His 2nd birthday was the next day. Liv played with him most of the party

Cooling off with popscicles

Posing with our gift

Liv totally tried to blow out the candles

She grabbed Hans Solo and hit icing gold, she had the mustache for hours.

Christina's Aloha Party

Yummy sangria

Liv provided the entertainment as always

Nela Art walk

Boo, Thank you wasn't open but we still peeked in.

My mission is to find a bookrack like this one for our books. Reminds me of our library in Catholic school

I bought the Bad Hair day for me & Broke for Aimee

Liv made herself at home at Pop-Hop

May the Force be with you!

Today we are going to a Star Wars birthday party. We watched The Empire Strikes Back with Liv to get her familiar with the characters. She liked R2-D2 & C3PO the most. She called them robots, I couldn't get her to say androids. She could take or leave the rest of the crew but she was digging Chewy *who doesn't love Chewy*. I'm really excited about how rad the birthday girl, Aiyana's present turned out.

The card plays the Star Wars theme, Liv picked the Yoda marshmallow

Of course my genius hubby made the C3PO bag

You have no idea how hard it was to keep that marshmallow Yoda from Liv. I'll upload photos from the party tonight. We are actually going to another party later this evening that is Hawaiian themed so I'll have to dust off my coconut bikini. I also would like to make it to the NELA art walk tonight. I hope the new comic book store Thank You will be open. Can't wait for Scoops to open too!

So next Saturday is our big 10 year anniversary *I know, I won't shut up about it* well, now I am really going to shut up about it. Antz and I made plans but I'm keeping quiet about them until the day. Let me say I am ridiculously excited! I wish I could share more but for now this is my only teaser.

Not much has been going on, Liv has been super awesome at school. She really has matured and listens to her teacher so well now. We are glad we enrolled her in this class so she can seamlessly transition into pre-school next month. So far she's only had one accident at school *she doesn't wear pull-ups to school* I feel pretty confident that she'll be fine going completely diaper-less in September. YAY!

Crawling through hoops

Liv certainly takes after her Dad in the artsy department. She LOVES to paint!

She discovered this baby strawberry in the organic garden. We visit it everyday but sadly last Wednesday someone picked it.

Shouldn't every school have a teepee? I want one! You know what I love? The school has artificial grass. GENIUS! I have a weird phobia about laying in real grass, bugs and itchy. The fake grass is perfect with no messy grass stains.

Painting a magnet for the fridge

Oh! I know this is random but check out what I scored at Target yesterday.

Orla Kiely for Method

I was positive they would be sold out but I got 2 hand soaps and a cleaning spray. Aren't they cute?? Speaking of cute...

Have any fun weekend plans?

National Best Friend's Day

I am certainly a lucky girl, not only did I score an amazing husband and rad daughter, but I also get the cherry on top with the awesomest BFF ever. I have to let you know, this lady is MAGNIFICENT! My bestie has been there through good times and sucky ones. She is the Ethel to my Lucy, she always believes in me, even when I'm in doubt. This lady has been a part of my family for the last 15 years of my life and I wouldn't be the person I am without her. She is my cheerleader, my therapist, my stylist, my court jester, my daughter's Godmommy and my sister. I love her so much but I appreciate her even more. I can't wait to rock matching outfits and get weekly pedicures in our old age when we try to still be cool and hip. I got yo back forevah, gurl!!

Love you forever Aimee!!

The best trip of our lives, seeing Björk in Paris

Seriously, she is the only person I'd drive all night to Vegas for just to hang out for 4 hours!!

My lovely

Real old school here!

Our idols!!

His Favorite Things

Today is extra special because Violently Happy has it's second guest post. L's & G's I am pleased to introduce, my better half...Antz!

Hello. Alright, so I'm not as good at this blogging jazz as my wife is but I'm going to give it a shot.  So, I think the first step to this is figuring out a theme.  Next, you have to think of a ingenious title to get folks curious enough to want to pop in and take read.  After that, you have to write about your topic in either a reflective manner, a funny or clever way or in a mocking, pessimistic tone.  After you've selected your approach, then its time to write.

Home is Where Your Fart Is

Sunday afternoon, hanging at home with the family is probably the bestest, most fun activity I can think of.  Lots of people may not be able to relate because they enjoy stepping out into the world and mingling with strangers.  Don't get me wrong.  I do like the occasional hang out session with the homies and even a trip to a restaurant every now and again, but my main source of enjoyment comes from being at home in my play clothes, feet up watching T.V.  Preferably Jeopardy or Adventure Time.  Here's a list of things you can do at home that you cannot do out and about (without consequence)

1. Fart
2. Not give a shit
3. Fall asleep
4. Not be bothered
5. Be at home
6. reach in the fridge and grab something for free
7. Did I mention, not give a shit?

Right now for instance, I'm watching Adventure Time, blogging, wearing my jams with my iPhone to the left of me reading FB or checking my text messages.  Olivia is running around in a pull up, taking a 24 pack of crayons one by one from the living room to her bedroom.  Liz went to grab us some lunch from Panda Express (for me) and Tommy's for her.  I've got both ceiling fans turning and basically, not giving a shit.  Sounds good huh?

I don't know much about blogging, but I think this is how.  Let me know what you think? 
Maybe I'll do more, maybe not.  No pressure.

Later Fans.

Antz

I love Antz handmade Finn grabbing Moobs tee!

Thanks my lovely, it's so nice to have a male point of view. I am a lucky girl!
