happy mommys day!!!

xoxo

its been so long!!!

I KNOW!!! I'm a BAD BAD blogger!!! But in my defense I'm also a busy busy blogger!!! I've been working at the store,toting around my tots,going on mini road trips with gal pals,studying,making bows and tu tus and other hair creations,booking photography shoots,roller skating,meeting awesome new people in the tattoo industry,celebrating friends birthdays,cleaning,skateboarding (eep the list goes on and on) So SEEEEE I've had my plate full of goodness!

Today is no different we've already had people out looking at the furnace (which needs to be cleaned) made several calls ,and taken the trash to be picked up! So,I thought I'd stop in my Little A.korn Blog" to give an update! The weather outside is super yucky and COLD today!!! We have, however,had a few beautiful days in the sun! A few weeks ago Kevin's friend David asked if we wanted to get together with his kids and go to a local park to feed the ducks and play.We of course thought this sounded like an excellent idea and away we went to the park!!!

Once we got there,all the girls ran straight to the water (which pretty much gave me a heart attack but thrilled them senseless!!) to feed the ducks!

It took awhile for the ducks to make it our way,

but soon enough they arrived for the bread crumb feast!!!

The girls all had a blast feeding the (very large) ducks bread crumbs!

But after awhile, both the ducks and the kids lost interest,and the playground was a-callin our names!!! We all had fun on the playground (yeeees EVEN me!!!)



Yay warm sunny early Spring days!!! I truly hope this bit of cold,rainy,gloomy,weather goes away soon!!! I'm ready for more fun in the sun!!

new art added to me...

Wednesday I went to visit my dear tattoo artist Jeff(again)
Sorry mom and dad! tee hee

Ive posted before about my favorite song and band.My favorite song is "speakers push the air" by a band called Pretty Girls Make Graves.The lyrics to the song bring tears to my eyes EVERY time I hear it (and hearing it live was so very magical!) Here's the lyrics in case you're wondering:
"Do you remember when
We couldn't put it away?
Do you remember when
We couldn't put it away?
Do you remember what the music meant?
(To you?) (To me?) (To you?) (To me?)
Do you remember what the music meant?
Life's complications and frustrations
They disappear when the music starts playing
I found a place where it feels alright
I heard a record and it opened my eyes
Do you remember when we couldn't put it away?
Do you remember what the music meant?
And nothing else matters
When I turn it up loud
There was the one definitive moment
Well, did it mean it to you?
There was that one definitive moment
When it was something new
Life's complications and frustrations
They disappear when the music starts playing
I found a place where it feels alright
I heard a record and it opened my eyes
Did it mean it to you?
Do you remember when
We couldn't put away?
Do you remember when
We couldn't put it away?
Do you remember what the music meant?
And nothing else matters
Yeah nothing else matters
When I turn it up loud
Yeah nothing else matters
When I turn it up loud"


And here's the video:



Now on to the subject at hand.I love this song SO much that it has become my newest tattoo!!

I originally wanted "Speakers Push The Air" straight across my shoulders BUT magical Jeff, (as always) came up with something SO much prettier and girlier and I'm in LOVE with it!!! My back is now almost completely covered (he did angel wings on my back (my FIRST tattoo) when I was 20) so now only the bottom of my back and shoulders aren't covered,but I'm pretty sure we will fix that one day..


WHAT TATTOOS DO YOU HAVE OR WHAT TATTOOS AROUND HTE INTERNET MAKE YOU SMILE?! LINK THEM IN YOUR COMMENTS!!

Zoe and Amelie are huge fans of oi punk and ska! Once I sawthis song I thought they (and you lovely reader) would enjoy it!!
pickitup pickitup!!!!

A trip to the children's museum!

Tuesday, I decided out of the blue (because stuff like that is just plain FUN) that we should make a trip to the Children's museum! So we packed ourselves into the car and headed south.:)
Zoe and Amelie were THRILLED upon entering the museum!

I was immediately in LOVE with all the fun colors all around!! Getting out and doing something as a family despite the BITTER cold was very rewarding,and LONG over due!I think Kevin and i are such children at heart that we equally enjoyed the museum as much as the girls!!
The museum was filled with buttons to push,things to read,experiments to try,clothes to wear,things to slide,run,and jump,on,pretty much every kids (and kid at hearts) dream come true!
In our "normal everyday life" I usually go to the grocery store with my mom and the girls.Zoe and Amelie have to sit in the cart and cant do too very much to help me.BUT at the Children's museum there was a mini grocery store full of "food items" and a mini "deli" all nice and low for little people and little hands to reach and "shop to their hearts content!! The girls had a BLAST with this part of the museum!! They filled their wee little baskets to the brim then proceeded to the "check out counter,where Kevin and I were waiting with smiles to "ring them up"! They even got their own mini receipts!

The next stop on our "museum tour" was the "Art gallery" This was indeed my favorite part!!

Poor girls they were ready to run to the next thing and I made them pose in front of "Starry Night" ha!

After the girls colored pictures in the art area we moved onto the theatre area,which was full with tons of fun costumes and props for dress up! There was a huge green screen behind the stage and Kevin and I came to the conclusion that on super duper busy days they must let kids make mini videos with nifty backgrounds?! (not sure) But we still had a blast!

Zoe and Amelie in an "interpretive dance" of sorts ha!
They had SUCH a great time Kevin decided to dress up too teehee!!

All in all the museum was gorgeous and super fun! Everywhere you looked you couldn't just had to smile!!

I ended up just having to hula hoop!!

WHEE!!
We all truly had a great day!I'm looking forward to warmer days so that we can go on many more mini family adventures!!

How to make a monster....

So today I got a grand idea to make a monster doll similar to the painting I made a few weeks back (you can see it by clicking here!!! )
So I got my supplies together and started working..

Today is a very rainy gloomy day,perfect in my opinion,for creating a MONSTER muhahahaha! (that was my creepy Dr. Frankenstein laugh by the way!)
It feels REALLY good to get my craft supplies out again!I'm sure everyone has noticed the lack of craft inspired posts here lately.I've just been a bit overwhelmed with things and I needed to take a mini break from things for a bit,but my mind is a flutter with so many new ideas to create it's looking good!
So here's the little guys face, along with some more yummy craft goodies.

I'm not sure what his name is yet ,but I'm sure once he's all sewn together and stuffed I'll know it!!
Have a great day!(Im off to sew some more!!!!muhahah (eep there's that laugh again!!)
