My Favorite Nephew

Look who I ran into on Friday night!

Mr. Landon is here! This little kiddo will be here all week and I'm glad I get to spend time with him. We spent the whole day together. We started a puzzle, played hide and seek (I found a really great hiding spot) and watched the first Harry Potter. I fell asleep 30 minutes in. The child has entirely too much energy and I'm sorry but he plain wears. me. out.

We also went to TCBY and got matching ice cream cones. Rainbow ice cream for him, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry yogurt for me. YUM.
I'm going to attempt to finish this puzzle that we got started. See you guys tomorrow!

Finish The Sentence

Today one of my BFF'S (The Life Of Jake) is hosting a link up with one of my new favorite bloggers, Holly of Where We Can Live Like Jack and Sally. If you're wanting some new blogs to read check out both of them. They're hilar. Obviously I'm participating in this.

1.) People always tell me......that I have an interesting or different name. By people I mean strangers at the checkout line. They see my name on the credit card, ask me how to pronounce it, then say "that's unique. I've never heard that one before." What do you mean? My name is Kara. I guess I'm just so confused.
2.) In the movie based on my life......it would be a box office flop because nobody would want to go see it.
3.) Typically, I end up regretting......diving into that second bottle glass of wine.
4.) I always ask to leave off the.....beans when I eat Mexican food. Double rice for me.
5.) Kim and Kanye really need to......set the record straight on how to pronounce his name. Kim says Kan-yea. Have we all been saying it wrong this whole time?
6.) My parents always reminded me that......Most people finish beauty school in 12 months.....not 23.
7.) Every single day......I shave my legs. I cannot NOT do it under any situation or circumstance.
8.) This one time in college......I let Jake make my toga outfit for me. Big mistake. He made it like a man's toga. Obviously this created a problem since men's toga's barely cover their chest. I had to wear a shirt under it while all the other girls looked cute and sexy with their little midriff and tiny skirt. Starting over and buying new fabric wouldn't fit into my weekly budget so I had to just go with it and look like the guy from Animal House.
9.) My grossest habit is......turning my belly button inside out and digging out all of the junk that's in it with my tweezers then smelling it. Woah! I know, right?
10.) My latest white lie was......yesterday when I told Scott I went to Sonic and got a cheeseburger. I left out the part where I got a medium fry and small popcorn chicken.
Okay fine! I got a large fry.
11.) I know all the words to......Super Base. One of these days I'm going to karaoke it and get a standing ovation.
12.) When I grow up I want to be......Kelly Ripa.
13.) Sexy time is......two puppies crying and barking and scratching on the bedroom door that Mom and Dad shut them out of.
14.) I will never, ever......understand why Lindsay Lohan can't pull herself together, Britney Spears wardrobe, anyone who actually reads Star Magazine and why Nick and Jessica broke up.
15.) I think it's hilarious......that I drove past a woman cruising on her Hover Round down the interstate yesterday. Especially since I caught the part where she had to swerve to avoid the possum road kill that was blocking her path.

Finals Bound

I'm about to take off and head to Little Rock. I'm helping my parents work basketball again this week. Also, Mr. Landon is coming into town because he's on Spring Break. I sure am excited to see that little guy. The last time I saw him was over Thanksgiving so it's been long overdue.

I better finish packing. These three are coming with me (of course) and they're already excited about their bye bye trip. I'm, however, not excited about it. These three will all want to be in my lap the whole time AND I'm going to have to stop and pick something up to eat on my way down. Should be interesting.

Frisbee's

The weather was so nice yesterday so Scott and I fired up the grill for the first time since I can't remember and shared a ribeye. It was so great and made me really anxious for spring. We are going to add a little landscaping to our backyard soon and I'm so excited about it! Right now it's a big yard with grass and a fence only. It needs a little sprucing up. Since it was so nice out I let the girls romp around and play for a really long time. They had so much fun. I know how much they enjoy playing outside but it stresses me out and I stand in the grass watching them the entire time. I know I'm ridiculously paranoid but I just don't feel comfortable letting them go outside without being out there with them. I get fairly bored just standing there watching them roll around in the grass so I decided to get a frisbee for them today so it would give me something to do. I really thought Madison would be the one who enjoyed it the most since she loves toys so much but to my surprise Ivy was the one who couldn't get enough of it!! She LOVED it. I mentioned last week that I wished the girls had coats to wear for outside (You can judge me, I know how ridiculous I am) and I saw some cute ones today at Walmart on sale so I got them! It was pretty chilly today so I put them on the girls. I don't know if it made a difference or not but they sure did look cute!

I should be embarrassed of myself but.....I'm not.

My Perfect Jean

Hey all!! Long time no see huh? Let's play catchup.
Besides working all week for my parents I didn't really have much going on last week. I did, however, find some new jeans which is very exciting. If anyone is like me, I have the hardest time finding jeans. I've been searching for a new pair for probably 2 years now. Not kidding. I've found some cute colored jeans or fun boyfriend jeans but never a good, classic pair that can go from day to night with the switch of a cute top. I hit the jackpot at The Gap last week and I'm so excited about my new go-to's.

These are their legging jean and I love them!!!!! The wash is perfect, the cut is spot on and the fit is so comfortable. They're stretchy and soft which I really appreciate. I got 2 different washes and I think I'm going to have to go back within the next few weeks and get a couple of the fun colored ones as well. If you're looking for some new jeans head on over to The Gap. Hopefully you'll fall in love with the legging jean just as much as I have!

These three. They're a mess.

This was my breakfast this morning. Oatmeal and blueberries!! Actually, it was more like, would you like some oatmeal with your blueberries? It's the perfect combo to me. I got this vanilla sugar and cinnamon grinder at Fresh Market that I always twist on top and it makes it taste extra yummy.
Happy Monday everyone! Let's make this week a good one shall we?
