is it me?

i love the matching pajama sets.
like this:

my boys don't always wear them.
sometimes they don't want to.
sometimes they are not clean.
sometimes we can not find the shirt to the set. {or the pants}

so on the nights they wear random clothing to bed i have this thing..
the clothes they wear have to match. or at least somewhat go together.
for example they can't wear a black shirt with navy pants..
or a red shirt with pants that have maroon on them..
it really, really drives me crazy..
am i weird? timmy thinks so!

do you have any random quirks? i'd love to hear..

North Carolina..in pictures.

a little of this..

last week we were able to attend a family reunion with timmy's family. it was so much fun.
it was in north Carolina which means a 4 1/2 hr flight there (+ a 2 hr drive to the coast)& the same to return.(+ the 2 1/2 hr drive to & from the airport) with 2 kids.
have you every packed for a week long stay? with 2 kids? it felt as if i took my whole house. & the laundry?
needless to say i'm about worn out. we are all worn out.
we did have a fabulous time. got to see some family i had only met once or twice before. some i never had the chance to before last week. (they all live in the eastern states)
& have you ever been on the east coast? absolutely gorgeous! & the houses!?! seriously!?! {it'll have a post all to it's self.}
but i can't get in the mood to edit my pictures. those will come soon..

for now i have a few things on my mind..
*why o why do i buy my boys white shirts? i have a thing for white shirts (for myself) but little boys? no more..
*we were asked to talk on sunday. i'm a little worried, but it's coming along..
* we are thinking about selling our house. to move closer to timmy's work. decisions are hard!
{i'll admit, i have been dreaming about colors & remodeling ideas though}
* merr has acquired quite the vocabulary lately. yesterday i sneezed. & from the other room came his sweet little voice "bess ew momma"
* my breck will be 4 this month. already!? i have a 4 yr old child?! (well almost)
speaking of birthdays.. what do you get a 4yr old boy?
*on sunday i get to meet my newest niece. we are beyond excited!!
* i hear having your 3rd child is the hardest. is it really? this is in no way an announcement. we are thinking it might be time to (ahem) think about it.. we are not trying yet..
*we have had many "projects" going on. (we need to touch up a few things on the house if we do sell.) it's looking so good. will i be able to leave it? this was our 1st house we built. i love it's little cottage-y feel..
*timmy goes back to work on monday. i'm having mixed feelings on this. we have loved having him around, but a schedule has not existed this summer. i am looking forward to getting that back.
* speaking of moving again.. i think i might need to call into one of those shows that help you de-clutter because o my we have accumulated a lot of junk these last 5 years..

sneak peek of where we've been..
