Momgone Crazy

{Rube Goldberg project by 2 UW students, demonstrating the chances of a fetus acquiring "diseases & disabilities"} {Bubbles, bubbles everywhere!}   {Can I just say, I LOVE his eyelashes!}   {A game of Kinect anyone?! He's a dancing machine!} {"I win!"}  {Of course the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.} {You are being watched... I walked right past this the first time, felt funny, went back, and then realized what it was.}  {"What's down there?"}  {Cool dude! Some new shades from the Microsoft people.}  Last Friday Dustin and I packed up our own bags and rode the bus into Seattle with Del for a day of adventure on the University of Washington campus.  Del had class, so Dustin and I were on our own for about an hour and a half.  It was a great day to visit campus because HuskyFest 2012 was in full swing and there was lots to check out!  We got free energy drinks, free Fuze drinks, and free Vitamin waters!  We also snagged a couple reu...

I love this picture.  It makes my heart melt!

So blogger did it... they finally did it.  They switched me over to the new format.  Not sure whether or not I really like it yet, but I guess we'll see how it goes! 1. I really, I mean R-E-A-L-L-Y want a veggie garden this year.  We don't exactly have the best set up for one right now, though, so a raised vegetable garden seems like a good solution.  Maybe?! 2. I've been on an organizing kick {in my brain} lately and these would be so cute to help in our garden. 3. My mother-in-law has a friend who makes postcards and sends them out for each holiday.  I want to try making some! 4. You can sew so many things! 5. This cupcake stand is so cute!  Tutorial by The Paper Mama over at Pamplemousse1983 . Happy Friday!

I've been waiting until we got things all squared away with this before posting anything.  Didn't want to jinx it, you know?  But everything's official now! Yay! Sooo....... Look what we done did! We bought a new car!!! 2012 Ford Fiesta Color: Blue Candy From the outside, this car looks SUPER small, but on the inside?  WOW!  Sooooo roomy! We even got Dustin a brand new carseat! :) We wanted a manual transmission (I miss my VW Jetta with the stick shift!), but it was nearly impossible to find this car, this color, our price range with a manual transmission.  So we kept the automatic.  Better in the long run, though.  Not as much to concentrate on while driving (especially with a whiny three-year-old in the back seat). So many awesome features! Yes, I did just say awesome.  My fave? The Microsoft Sync!  We use this ALL THE TIME!  No more bluetooth falling out of my ear anytime I play with my hair... no more having to throw the phone across...

Easter was this past weekend.  We did all the "traditional" things: dying Easter eggs, an Easter egg hunt, bunny pictures, bunny cake, ham dinner... I think Dustin enjoyed the coloring of the eggs the most.  We did 22 at our home, and enlisted my mom's help to dye some more with Dustin because he was just distraught when we finished ours!  So I dropped him off, and when I picked him up, my mom showed me a neat little treat she had given him... It's not the best quality (my first .gif done in CS4), but I think you get the idea!  Edible Easter grass!  How fun is that?!  It tastes like green apple, and Dustin loves it! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Normally our holidays are hectic, crazy, disorganized, and just plain rushed.  No one is quite sure what they are doing, everything seems to happen last minute, and there's always something or someone forgotten.  This year, however, Easter was a blast!  We celebrated it with just our own little family of three.  It was simple, but it was exactly what we needed, and wanted.  It was pleasant, and special. It started out with  me  the Easter bunny getting Dustin's basket all set up and put in his bedroom for him to see when he woke up.  The Easter bunny made a late trip (about 3am!), so  he  she didn't get much sleep that night. {Skittles and M&M eggs, a noisy chick, and a Cars football} {Cars 2 and Mickey Mouse bubbles} {Purple peeps} {Cars 2 charge ups... AMAZING sale at Target last week on all Cars products! We stocked up!} Dustin woke up and first thing he went for were the Cars 2 cars! {of course!}  We grabbed his Easter baske...

Oh mommy time.  That much needed few moments (hopefully at least 30 minutes!) when I can just sit down and peruse other blogs, work on homework for school, and worry about nothing but what I feel like doing.  Just relax.  After a long Monday and a cranky three-year-old, the hubby gave me just that - mommy time!  He is playing cars with Dustin, and watching Game of Thrones, whilst I surf the internet and post this blog!  Definitely much needed and MUCH appreciated! :)

I'm so excited to finally be linking up with Ashley over at Ramblings and Photos for one of her Scavenger Hunt Sundays!  I have been a quiet follower of hers for a while now, and am so happy to finally be joining in! Here are my interpretations for this weeks scavenger hunt prompts: c l o u d s {Dustin and I recently visited the University of Washington campus while Del went to class.  Afterwards, we all met up and had a delicious lunch at University Teryaki (BEST around!).  If you live in the pacific northwest, you know that we don't get as much sun as the rest of the country.  This was an "overcast" day... aka, cloudy day.} s u n  f l a r e {I am still learning all about photography, and a sun flare, I get these accidentally!  Here is one I attempted to capture on purpose.} s e v e n {For the life of me, I couldn't come up with anything for 'seven'.
