Ok, so I feel like I’m starting every post lately with an apology followed by explanation as to why I haven’t been around but here we go again. I know you guys are sweet about me not keeping up my blogging during these last few weeks of pregnancy but I still feel so guilty! Like if I miss too many days all my readers will disappear. Dumb, no?

Well, we did have a whopper of a last few days. If you’re local then you know exactly what I’m talking about. We had a ridiculous storm come through on Sunday afternoon. We (P, Samster, my dear MIL & I) were all hanging out in the kitchen when it started to get really dark out. It had been over 100 degrees all weekend so a thunderstorm wasn’t too shocking. And then the rain started, & then, I kid you not, the most incredible winds I’ve ever experienced IN MY LIFE. All the chairs & the table on the patio where blown across the deck, the baby pool went flying, trees looked like they might snap in half. We all just stood there in shock for a minute & then P said, “um, I think we should head to the basement” So we did. Within 5 minutes it was over but even through all my hurricane experience from living in Florida I can’t say I’ve ever experienced a storm like that before. Of course power went out but what we didn’t learn until later is that the entire city lost power! After the storm it didn’t cool off too much either. I’ve been sweating my cha-cha off the last few days & grumpy doesn’t even begin to cover my mood. Until this morning that is, the power came on at 6a after 2 days of middle of summer heat. Not to mention no tv, microwave, lights, computer…not a happy household to say the least. But now, now I’m cool, comfy & am the happiest girl on Earth. I never realized how much I love my house until I had to live in a non-functioning version of it for 2 days. Even seeing the fridge light come on is putting a smile on my face. So now that we’re out of our pioneer life of the last few days I can finally download pics from Samster’s bday party & share them with you. We just had a little get together with a few friends, nothing too crazy since I’m trying to take it easy until Chums is done cooking. (35.4 weeks, woohoo!) Really the only somewhat crafty thing I did was I added onto her photo garland with an “I’m 2!” picture. (the original tutorial is here)Samster’s personal tutu collection came in quite handy since most of her friends are little girls…Daddy stayed up late the night before putting together her bday present playhouse…I can’t believe my little girl is 2. Wow. How can a birthday make you so happy & so sad all at the same time? Although I guess I still have a few more hours with my 1 yr old, her birthday isn’t technically until tomorrow…Oh, and the tutus have been coming in like MAD, I’m SO excited!!! I’ll post about that tomorrow. Promise!

Thanks for being patient guys. It means a lot. (:
