I like this picture of Kai because it captures exactly who he is; happy and energetic, bounding from one place to the next. His elements of choice: dirt and sand.

The other day, when I was trying to convince him to do something because he’s a little boy now, his response was,

“I not a wit-tle boy.
I not Kai Ethan Kirk. (his full name)
I just Kai.”

Dax is such a smiley, laughy baby, I’m convinced he’s going to be a witty jokester when he grows up.

You spray yourself with stain-remover instead of the intended wrinkle-reducer. Two days in a row!

And, you have absolutely no qualms about baring a month-old pedicure at church. With nail polish grown out nearly half-an-inch, I present to you the newest “mom” trend; The Reverse French-Tip.

Gorgeous, gorgeous loft. I am practically drooling. More pictures here.

I don’t think I’ve watched a music video with this much symbolism, imagery, and metaphorical content since, well, ever. You’ll probably need to watch it at least a couple of times to catch the details I outline below, so first, watch the video and enjoy it (I highly recommend full-screen mode):

I have two tickets to the Dodgers game this Sunday, July 27th, against the Washington Nationals, that I need to give away ASAP! The seats are in Section 21 FD, row P, seats 7 and 8.

Leave a comment, and I’ll hold a raffle for the winner. Make sure you leave contact info. The catch is, you have to pick them up in Ventura by Sunday morning. If no one bites, we’ll just assume that our entire (very small) readership is made up of upstanding Mormons that keep the sabbath day holy. Good for you.

** UPDATE ** Since I have received absolutely no responses, I gave them to a co-worker!

After last night’s Project Runway, I don’t think I’ll ever attempt to sew satin. Which is why I’m so excited to have found these on Etsy:

Capes!

In an effort to get Kai fully potty-trained, I intend to get him a cape and mask set for his third birthday in October. “You’re a super hero now! Super heroes don’t wear diapers–they wear underwear! Yeah!” (But I’ll leave out any mention of tights.)

I think my plan is brilliant. I’m excited.

Do you ever feel so busy, you just want to cave in and scrounge up fifty bucks to hire a cleaning person for a day? I’m at that point. I’m in the middle of putting together a cookbook for my moms group, the end almost in sight. Glad the front cover is done:

“Over fifty recipes inside!”

I think the picture I took came out half-way decent, considering I’m not a photographer and I used a mere point-and-shoot camera. Recipe here in case you’re interested (their picture is much better than mine!).

I still have about fifteen recipes to add, four design projects for Relief Society, a collage project for Kai to bring to Nursery this Sunday (and you bet I want to make it awesome), a website I still have to build, and of course, children to take care of and a household to manage. Yet, I find myself blogging and checking my Google Reader…

Alright, time for me to buckle down. I got a date tonight with Adobe InDesign and the Killers.
