Friday FIVE

1. As referenced in a post earlier this week, I am in love with my new nail polish color... "turned up turquoise". I think I've mentioned before that I hate feet - they are just gross, but it's a must to have my toenails looking fabulous.

2. Cooking with my kids, especially my 3-year-old Hallie. She is a budding Betty Crocker. She loves to pour in the ingredients and watch the mixture go round and round. And yes, she's turned it on full blast and we've scraped cookie dough off the ceiling before. And her favorite part is of course licking the beater, the spoon, the bowl and whatever else she can weasel out of me. By the time our cookies are baked, she's usually full from eating dough.


3. My new swim suit. Who would have thought I would love a swim suit (they are mostly evil), but I found the cutest suit - I love the print, the colors, the style, how it fits, the whole shebang. I almost can't wait to go out in public and lounge around the pool. Below are a picture of my actual suit and a picture of one the same style, but different fabrics. Love the whole line: hapari swimwear.


4. Morning exercise time. I have been getting up early and walking/running at the park track next to our house. I am really enjoying having a half hour or so to myself before starting my busy day. It has made me more patient with my kids and since I am up early, I am getting more things done - and I have more energy with exercising! I missed this morning (cause I got woken up more than half a dozen times last night by every one of my 4 kids - what the heck???) and I am feeling real off!

5. Costco. This is a love/hate relationship actually. I love going in and finding all the great buys, new products, must-have food and of course - the samples! But, let's face it... checking out sucks. My bill is always WAY more that I intended to spend. Still, I love buying 5 pounds of tortilla chips, gallons of mouthwash and that ginormous bottle of vitamins.

Friday FIVE

1. I love spring (now that I think it is finally here to stay). I love the rain especially. It makes everything so green and my flowers are loving it. My favorite is taking an afternoon nap when it's raining outside (every once in awhile my kids let me do that!)


2. My favorite dessert in the whole world is Tres Leches Cake and the best place to buy it is Cafe Rio (although Z'Tejas comes in at a close second). I also have a from scratch recipe that is pretty good. But the cake in a box version from Betty Crocker is less than desireable. If you ever have a chance, try one - or if I really like you I might make you one.


3. Love the color turquoise. I wish I had more clothes in that color. Aren't these dresses cute? I need a new summer dress too!


4. Dallin made this cute bead bracelet for me at cub scouts this week for Mother's Day. He was so excited he couldn't wait till Sunday to give it to me. I love it!


5. This one is practical, but I really like Cascade 2in1 ActionPacs. No more spilling dishwasher powder all over or trying to get the last of the liquid out of the bottle. Just grab a little plastic covered soap pouch and pop it in the dispenser. The plastic dissolves and Dawn prewashes the load, then the Cascade soap is perfectly proportioned for the wash. AND they come in several scents!
