Summer is here!  And I love that it’s still light out until 9 PM.

I watched the big brother premiere last night… live (2 hours that could have been compressed to 1 with fast forwarding)…. my favorite is Sam (the girl welder I love her voice).  Spoiler, she ends the first episode as a robot.  Yes, big brother is cornier than ever and does not disappoint in that aspect.  My predictions on the final 4, Sam, Winston, Angela, Scottie (maybe Faysal or Kaitlyn will make if far).  Let’s see how wrong I am!

Today’s Thursday and I am linking up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom.

AHHHHHHHHH it’s a boy!!!!!!!!  I am going to be a mom of 2 boys.  This announcement photo was the very first of like 30 I took… isn’t that how it always goes?

The weather has been fantastic… and we’ve been able to hang outside / garage / back porch a lot which is amazing!  Nothing like watching football in the garage while getting some work done.

Syracuse football is 3-0 first time since 1991 (yes I just double checked that)… we play LSU this weekend… and uhhh we’re not expecting any miracles.

NF’s been to 2 swim classes so far and is the weakest of the 5 kids in the “non swimmer beginner” class ages 3-4 (the pikes)…. but he’s the most entertaining!  He was doing a little awkward boy dance and one of the instructors I think asked him if he had to go to the bathroom and he said about 6 times loudly “I just peed” … making everyone think that he just peed… like right there… but really, he had just gone before class.  He also tries to convince the other kids to just go play some soccer (and ditch this swim stuff).  I am so excited to see him improve each week, it’s the best!!  (and I am secretly glad I started him at age 3-4 instead of earlier when the parent has to get in the water too).

Gentle-Yoga-300x295

I’ve been going to gentle yoga 2-3x a week and it’s been great during my pregnancy…. I am still going to spin and boot camp also… but I’m able to do less and less in those classes… I am afraid of the day when spin is out and where I am mostly watching boot camp and not participating.

kimdwts

What is the bizarre news story about Kim Zolciak having a stroke after dwts monday but is now 100%…. I’ve been voting for her like crazy (mostly because I think she needs the votes).

kimkkkk

speaking of Kims…. Look at these ankles… not looking forward to that.

survivor

Survivor 2nd chance premiered last night… and I watched… duh.

steve

And right after the premiere of survivor… the big brother finale aired…. I stayed up until 11 PM to watch Steve win…… yup… that was like 100 hours of my life this summer…..

o

My sister’s bridal shower is this weekend and I ordered a tiramisu sheet cake from a local Italian bakery (where she is getting her wedding cake) and I am beyond excited to eat it.

NF makes these paintings on my phone and it saves in it’s own folder… I love to look at them

  • I am so sad Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are getting divorced… I knew it was coming after this article May 29th.
  • I extremely recently developed a crush (last night) Ben Affleck after watching the first 20  minutes of gone girl… that might change when I finish the movie.  Don’t spoil it for me.
  • I watch movies 20 minutes at a time.  WHAT?!  Sometimes, all you have is 20 minutes… and I like it, drags it out like when you read a book and just finish one chapter…
  • NF likes sleeping in his “jeep sleep car” and bed time has been a breeze the last 3 nights…. but will it last?
  • I put $20 in the token machine at Chuck E. Cheese to then realize it says no change…. we had way too many tokens… looks like we have to go back!

Hello!!  Today is Thursday and I am linking up with Jen from Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for Thursday Thoughts…

snakes

This snake lives at our front door.  We haven’t officially moved into the house yet… but it seems like this guy has been living there comfortably for a while.  I want him gone.  GONE!!  I can’t even enter or leave my house because he’s just THERE.  I have to go out the garage.  Ya know how you open it and then shut it and run underneath.  That doesn’t really work well with a 2 year old.

bb

I didn’t think I’d have time for Big Brother this summer… but I made sure I watched last night…. already sooo excited!!  It’s on again tonight at 9 so I hope I am home for it!  I haven’t picked a favorite yet.

downsized_0625041459

I need to get the carpet in the master bedroom stretched before moving in… ugh… do I hire someone?  Do I trust that someone who says they can do it can?  I just want it done at this point.  I can’t go without it being done it’s driving me insane!!!
