I love the show on TLC "What Not to Wear" !!!! It is on 3 times a day and because I haven't been watching it for long none of them are repeats. I don't watch 3 times a day and so I have a whole lotta shows on my DVR, but I can't wait to get to them all!
On the show they pick one person whose friends/whoever nominated them. Stacey and Clinton follow them around for 2 weeks to get an idea of how they are dressing and get video to show back to the person. The person has to go to New York for a week (I know, big hardship) let Stacey and Clinton critique/throw out their whole wardrobe, then shop with a visa loaded with $5000. Pick me, pick me! On the second day of shopping S&C join them to help. (I'd pay for that!) Then they get a hair and make up make over.
I think the single best thing I like is that Stacey and Clinton are not telling you to lose 5 lbs then shop for this...but rather "this is your body shape, this is how to dress it best". I learn new things each time I watch! I just got their book out of the library and can't wait to read some more!
Go check it out~ you won't be disappointed! (This is a gerat show to watch while you are on the elliptical)

so cute
Today at Cam's school it was Student Led Conferences. This follows their report card and is a chance for the children to show their parents what they have been working on in kindergarten. Perry likes to go to the school for these events because as a general rule I am there more on a daily basis. Cam really wanted me to go as well, but as always, there was another boy who had to be somewhere else at the same time. I got the camera out for Cam and asked him to take some pictures of the special things that he wanted to show me. This is the exact spot Cam sits every morning while they get the day started. How cute is that that this is one of his pictures? I love it! I also got to see a craft he made, the weather chart and the table he sits at to work. I have to say it was a brilliant solution to send the camera with him! Perry said Cam had a great time showing him stuff then taking a picture for mom!

Keeping me honest
The only reason I am sharing this awful picture with you is to keep me honest. This is my unbelievable craft room. How did it get like this?? I am getting it cleaned up! 15 minutes a day. I can do it! I'll post an "after" picture in a week. That better be enough time!
I'm in a funk.
And I can't get out. I don't feel like doing anything. I don't want to make dinner, or clean the toilet or go grocery shopping or tidy the boys bedroom. Ugh. I think this is what they mean by the wintertime blues. What do you do to fix this??

Wowzers!
This is one of those mornings you just want to crawl back into bed and stay there for the day. The wind is howling, the snow is blowing and we're all but locked in the house by a snowdrift out the front door. Now, the boys are off at school, Kai is happily playing and I cound be in the middle of a really good book in 5 minutes flat. My bed is calling...decisions, decisions...

a few more pictures to share...then I'm done, for sure!
This is the view from our favorite spot at the pool. I got tired of waking up early so I could get a spot at the beach when here we always got the beds we wanted no matter when we got there! There is a bar at the top right of the picture that you can't see, and waiters to bring you food and drinks. No wonder we love it there!
At Ocean World there is a huge aquarium in front of the casino entrance. I saw fish in there bigger than anywhere else! (Not including the shark watching we did a few years ago!)
Everytime we passed this sign it made us laugh, and we could never time it right to get a picture without the trees in the middle. It says "If you can read this, you can work here, looking for english speaking people". You know when you call Panasonic to find out why your phone isn't working...I bet your call ends up here! Or somewhere similiar.
These boys had machetes and they lobbed off the ends of a coconut to give to you. I'm pretty sure they didn't have a license for the knives. They don't look old enough to use such big knives, do they?
This picture makes me laugh! I think its funny. I was laying on the bench with my head on Perry's lap when we were on the yacht. The sun was bright so I was covering my face with my hat. Perry was being lazy and took the picture without moving. It was pretty comfy, as things considered. I think I like this picture because it makes my legs look skinny!

thank you!
My parents came up for a few days after a plea from me to help dejunk my house. We got so much done and now after I am finished tidying up my house looks clean! What a huge blessing!
My dad put a door on one of my bedrooms, fixed my vacuum outlet and hung mirrors and pictures for me. What would I do without him? These are the pictures from the Dominican when we went with the boys over New Years. When mom and I decided on the arrangement we knew we needed dad to hang them or they wouldn't be right! This is on the wall by our back entry - everytime we come in the house we stop and look and remember how much fun we had together as a family. love it! I'm thinking about putting "Dominican 09" or some such thing above it with word to the wall, or maybe on the bottom of the middle frame. What do you think?
I really want to show you a picture of the closet mom cleaned ( as well as many other areas) but I don't think you'd be interested in my linen closet. Just know it looks fantastic!
Thanks mom and dad! I love you!
