dora, blue poptarts and chocolate covered graham crackers

little m is sitting in his "blue chaaaaaair" eating a blue poptart, watching dora and occasionally drinking water "byself."  i am sitting at the table eating chocolate covered graham crackers dunked in milk just trying to make it through yet another sticky tape dora.  i must confess that i only stopped here to see who had updated their blog (sadly shannon hasn't) and had no intentions of posting.  i was drawn to my layouts and sat here for a few minutes looking through them all and somehow remembering creating each one.  where i was, what i was feeling, what it was made for.  i miss a lot of those feelings and places.  so my heart decided today that i needed to start doing this again for myself.  and those feelings.  and those places. 

mom and j came down this past weekend.  we had a good time although they weren't here long.  really wanted to go to the waterpark, but didn't have enough time.  we vowed next time to do it for sure.  lord knows it will still be hot enough.  d and i found our dream home, but reality struck and we are now looking for a new place to rent instead.  this place hasn't felt like home since we moved here, but it was our only choice.  so we are trying to find our place here and make a home for little m and ourselves.  more space would be great, too.  and two bathrooms...i can only dream.  we got m's two year pics done the other day.  he did great since he was fed full of snacks (fruit snacks) and then got to watch dora on his tv player (dvd player.)  i'll leave you with a few of my faves.
