I know it must seem like I am constantly complaining about the amount of busy that goes on over here but truthfully, I LOVE IT! I'm the type of gal who just thrives on multi-tasking and am in my prime when I've got more than one flame a-burnin'. If it's boring, eh -- who wants it!?
Saturday 8.22.09
Up early to make potatoes and monkey bread then back to Mary's for mega-breakfast; brother- & sister-in-law head back down south. Do the weekly market and try to get some sewing done.
BEACH!
Last truly HOT day of the Summer. Packed up my babes and headed to the beach one last time. Mad that I forgot my book but spent the whole day in the water anyway. GLORIOUS! So sad the summer has to end SNIFF!
Sofia's 2nd Birthday!

NEQS with G
As if this little list doesn't prove how busy I am, I also have a ton of sewing work to do (more on that another day!) Luckily, I'm blessed to have a quilt supply wholesaler within driving distance! My girl, Giuliana and I took a trip on Monday to grab supplies. Sure we got lost but that's OK - it was fun anyway. The only part I hate is going upstairs for notions.
THIS IS THE FLOOR!! What you see below the grates is the shevles and floor of the first level! EEEK!! And I am inevitably wearing flip-flops every time I go and they get caught in those slits and... it's truly all I can do to not crawl up there. It creeps me out!!

He's finally home!!
Birthday breakfast with Ed and then it's off to Mary's again later in the day. After almost three months of traveling back and forth across the country, my nephew Rob is finally home! Champagne and cake and lots of hugs. We're so glad he's back safe and sound!

Happy Wednesday!
First day of school and a happy birthday to Edzo. The day went well and the kids looked fabulous, of course. Ava in her Amy Butler jumper and Ed in shorts from Ottobre Mag.
How did I spend my first child-free day? At the mall of course!

Visit from Ashley & Colton
My good friend Ashely visits today with her 11-month-old son Colton. He is the best baby in the world! Spent 2 hours crawling and walking around my house eating little baby puffs. Henry was in doggy heaven! Finished up the revamp of the RISN website -- a task I took on over a month ago and have struggled to find time for. Its now done and will be up and running soon!

Can you say errands?
Tomorrow is the big Labor Day Birthday Bash here at our house. We celebrate both kids birthdays even though Ava's isn't for another month. It's just easier (and cheaper!) that way :) So I went from drop off to Joann, to iParty, to Toys R Us, to one market, then to another market, then to pick up then straight home to a glass of wine...
And so we arrive at today where it's now 738am and I've already made one cake and stitched up 5 aprons for my cousin, Pam (seven more to still be done) and caught up on the last 2 episodes of Project Runway. The house needs to be vacuumed, the bathrooms cleaned and a trip down to Venda for fresh macaroni. Thank goodness the weather is nice!
So, if you're not too tired yet, come back again and I'll tell you all about how I'm starting back at the Gap next week...
