A moment to treasure

So this has no significance and is a totally random thing to post, but I simply dont want to forget it so this way it is documented forever.

The other night I decided to "fancy" up our dinner a bit (which for me means follow a recipe that isnt in our normal rotation). Kirk didnt get home till late so he didnt get to joy of any of what happened. I made stuffed burgers with feta and green onion and a salad in a parmesan bowl. I threw in come honeydew on the side. I was so proud of myself that I decided to take a picture of it. As I was carrying the plate to the table to take the photo, I totally slipped on something and went FLYING. The plate flew, the food flew, I flew (than landed really hard.) It was a fit for TV fall. Landon, who was sitting in a chair at the end of the table just starred at me with huge eyes, so concerned....than he started crying and saying "Mama Mama." He look so scared. He was so worried about me. My 2 year old. It was the SWEETEST thing. I went over to him (covered in hamburger toppings) and gave him a hug and said, "Its ok sweety, mommy's fine." He sort of sniffled a little bit and looked up at me with those big brown eyes as if saying how much he loved me and was so worried about me. *sigh*
....I than went over to pick up all the food and over my shoulder I hear this giggle. I turn around and Landon is giggling, than belly laughing. I kid you not, laughing so hart he could hardly breath. He laughed, straight, for like 5 minutes. He would stop, take a deep breath and say "Oh man" than just keep laughing. Through out dinner, every 10 minutes or so he would look over to where I had fallen and start laughing again saying, "Mama fall?"
It. was. priceless.
I loved it because it is exactly how we as adults react. When someone falls, we are instantly concerned. The second we know they are ok, we begin cracking up! It was hilarious to me that he reacted the exact same way.
And just for fun, here is a picture of the fateful dinner. That will teach me to try something new;) This was Kirk's plate...mine was obviously not photo ready anymore.

Hawaii

So we had a great time in Hawaii last week. Ive been meaning to get on here and make a blog entry with some photos but I have been SWAMPED ever since we got home. It is now 10:30 on Wednesday night and Im actually tired, which is a first since I have still been 3 hours ahead...lying awake at 1:00a. But, I must make this entry so I can chekc it off o fmy To Do List from today:)

I would say the best part of the trip was seeing Landon thoroughly enjoy his cousins. We saw a side of him we have never seen before..and he seems to have brought it home with him which is wonderful. Playful, giggling, goofy in a whole new way than before. Looking forward to going up to Seattle next weekend for Finn's 2nd bday so Landon can play with his cousins some more!

Just a little Update....

Ok, so Ive gotten a lot of responses to the last blog I wrote. Both about the little girls and the purses Meg and I made. So here is a response/update....you will not believe...

1.) The little girls were found later that day...like I wrote before. Evidentally they RAN AWAY! Are you as stunned as I was?! I dont know the exact details so forgive me if any of you know more than I do.... Something to the effect that the oldest had gotten scolded from her Grandma a few days earlier so had been plotting to run away. She took little sis at about 6:30a and they ran off to the dollar store to spend their $8 saved up. Can you even believe it?!?!?!?! I would be LIVID! Those poor parents. I was speechless when Megan told me. I just wanted to share because I know a lof of you, like me, not even knowing these little girls, were terrified over the possibility of what may have happened to them. So, to ease your mind....they simply got ticked at gma. Again, there may be more to the story but that's what I have been updated on.

2.) The purses: In all likelyhood I will NOT be making these bags to put on Etsy unless you think ANYONE would be willing to pay like $100 for them!! THEY TOOK FOREVER PEOPLE!!! Im sure if we were to make more of them it would go faster, but my word! With my luck Id have a busy weekend ahead and get like 7 orders for purses all at once. NO THANK YOU!!!!!! Perhaps I could make some for the craft fair this year or as gifts...but dont hold your breath:)

On a side note...I had 4 photo shoots in the last week so stay tuned for some pics to be shared on my Dolce Photography blog. And if you arent a follower yet....sign up!
