sweet!

I recently had a birthday of unimportant numberage, is that a word, um no, no matter, it's not a milestone or anything like that. Getting older does not bother me, but i do enjoy hearing my children tell people that i'm 21 when they are asked how old their mommy is. like that's believable. It's been awhile since i've been carded, so i feel that 21 is no longer an achievable look for me.
i did score some super sweet gifts this year. i'm not one to tell shawn or the girls what i want for any particular holiday or birthday, but this year i cut to the chase, my parents asked what i wanted and i gave them a choice between Reprodepot and Knitpicks gift certificates, they choice well. my sister took my well planned and oh so obvious hint and visited Mitsuwa Market and bought me several sets of Re-Ment sets.
here are some kind of crappy pictures, but what can you do

She also got me these magazines and book

Retro Crafts has some really fun projects, not so much the ones like the glitter covered soda bottles, but most are pretty cute. am i the only person who hates glitter?

Shawn got me a dollhouse. We needed a project that we could do together. most nights it's him doing his dorkhammer, me watching tv and knitting or reading, we sometimes play cards or watch a movie, but cards usually end in me with some kind of temper tantrum, and he likes wierd artsy movies and i want to watch dumb action movies. Now we can equally piss eachother off while working on the dollhouse!

it was an awesome birthday, and i love my family and friends for all their awesomeness as well.
Lastly, I love how i have been looking for this pair of pants for Lily for about a month now maybe longer. So this morning I go up in her bed, looking for yet another lost object to find this pile of clothes stuffed in various crevices of her bed.

the dog just happened to be laying there, but you can see, in comparison that is a large pile! @#$$^&!!! oh that other crap in the background, that's just the normal everyday crap that i have to walk through in their room. i like the random box that they use for stuff animal storage, i mean we have actual containers, but for some reason they think a torn up dirty cardboard box is better. so much for cute storage.

Wait, where's the dog? Just kidding : ) Happy B-day, kiddo. Today, I was standing in line at Walgreens and spotted a sign that said WE CARD ANYONE ANYONE UNDER FORTY. Now THAT made me feel old. Seriously, you have temper tantrums playing cards? Sam has that competitive streak when we play cards, it always surprises me cuz he's such a mellow guy otherwise.
