I hate Martha Stewart...

...only because she makes some of her crafty projects look all to easy.

Case in point... something I saw once before on her site/blog were these photos of some cutely decorated pumpkins and I just fell in love with the idea and had to replicate.

It's like a bad mullet...looks great from the front view...


But a hideous, bad idea in the back...


Just in case you can't get the full view of my wilted pumpkins, here's a nice close up view...


Because of where we set these pumpkins on the half wall in front of our house the sun creeps over our roof and just beams right down on these pumpkins for about 12hrs a day - causing only one side to really wilt; weird, I know!

At least the good side faces the street view :=)

Growing up I always wanted to be on a swim team, nevermind that my strokes often look like someone is having a seizure in the water, but none the less I wished I had tried. Well, you better believe that this mama is living vicariously through her kids when it comes to swim. Sweating palms. Nervous stomach. Pacing back and forth... this is usually how you can find me and Scott on the sidelines. I LOVE IT!! She was pretty good last year for her first year, and this year she really did even BETTER...bringing home 3 first place ribbons. I actually only ended up bring my camera to one of her meets, shameful, I know. But in my quest to be ever more present in my kids' lives I didn't want to be all camera-crazed, jockeying for the BEST position with all the mom-tographers videoing their super-star athletes. R...
