Tysie Lou

Getting ready for bed each night means trying to wake Tysie from her vivid dreams and get her to go outside. She always resists the prompts to get up and go potty because she's becoming quite a lazy bum! Eventually, she'll give in, but only when she thinks you're going to grab her by the collar and make her get up.

Here's her stare (or glare) from tonight...


But I do love her "pile of legs" as I call it. She always sleeps that way! Such a pretty girl... a pretty, spoiled girl!

And even as I finish this blog post (literally 2 minutes) here's how she looks now. Seriously, dog?

Happy Valentine's Day

Last weekend I made cupcakes to satisfy my sweet tooth. A small, heart cookie cutter worked perfectly to make sprinkle-hearts on top of the icing. It was kind of like playing with glitter!



Thanks to the advice from a good friend, I used picnik.com to edit this photo for free! Thanks, Emily!

Baby shopping!

Getting ready for the baby is getting so fun! I'll have to say that I'm a little out of control with my spending habits lately. It seems like I keep thinking of more things I need for the nursery or for the baby's arrival. I'm making a promise to myself to get things under control here soon (I'm hoping Daddy Weaver doesn't read our blog though, cause then no one can hold me to that promise - wink, wink!) But seriously, baby stuff is just too exciting! I think 'they' prey upon us expecting moms because they know we can't help ourselves.

I've gotten quite a few outfits already... some from thrift stores (doesn't gross me out, athough I know some think that's criminal), others are hand-me-downs, and then the rest are brand new, super-cute things I just couldn't resist. Now I know most people think gender neutral shopping isn't quite as fun as shopping for pink and blue, but I have enjoyed the challenge!


One of my favorites is this personalized onesie from Inktastic.com.



In fact, I got a little carried away on the Inktastic website and ended up with gear for the whole family. The only bummer was the lack of options for Tysie. I wanted a bandana or something, but all they had where doggie-shirts - which Daddy Weaver would never permit! The orange pants were on sale at Oshkosh... so far, I don't think I've paid full price for anything (still a bargain-shopper, despite the mommy-to-be vulnerability!)

I'm not really sure where we'll wear these super-cool orange outfits, but I'm stoked just the same! I know there's at least one member of our family who will look cute in the orange gear, but he/she isn't ready to wear it just yet!
