I'm still alive, barely

My apologies to those loyal fans who have been going through wackygradke withdrawals. The last 2 months have been especially busy for our family so I'll hit the highlights.

We bought a new house. I love it and call it my "grown-up house"



Which is good because I guess I'm officially a "grown-up". My posse at work took me for sushi on my birthday and decorated my desk. I have a colleague turning 50 on Thursday so I suggesting getting her a gift basket with Depends, hemorrhoid cream and replacing her desk chair with a wheelchair. Surprisingly, HR vetoed that idea.



I got a haircut. I don't know how many "inches" but I would estimate 2 feet? All I know and care about is that I can fix my hair in 4 minutes each morning.

Oh and Rustin and the kids did great for my birthday. I got new flip flogs, a bag and some jewelery from Anthropology!



The boys attended yet another torture session baseball game without me.


Thade at Main Street Days festival.




Reed just chillin.




My new fireplace! Oh yeah, and the kids.

So... my grown up house also has a grown up shower which Reed loves to play in. The best thing about this is that he can be left in there for short periods of time without the fear of drowning. Rustin, of course, would never dream of leaving him in the shower unattended. However, in a moment of desperation this past Saturday while Rustin was frolicking on the golf course, I left Reed in there for 5 minutes to tend to Adalae. This is what I found upon my return:



Now you all know I wouldn't waste my time with a post that didn't have something totally inappropriate so I hope you don't have a weak stomach today!
I hope you all have a Happy 4th of July!

LMAO. Scarlett totally did that in our shower too, only it was when we were potty training her...She couldn't get up on the toilet so the shower seemed like the next best place.
Love the new house & Happy 30th. I've decide not to ever turn 30... I'll be celebrating my 3rd annual 29th b-day in a few weeks.
