Gabe's New House

This is a story about long grass.  Sort of.  It starts out like this:

 Yes, this is our backyard.  It is about a foot tall in some places.  We haven't mowed in weeks?  Months?  I don't know.  Every time we went over the landlord's house to borrow his mower, he wasn't home, and there were very few times that we actually had the opportunity to mow.  I will spare you the excuses, but suffice it to say, we were getting pretty desperate.  Finally, this morning, I told Evan, "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO, JUST FIND A WAY TO CUT THE GRASS!"  Then I showered and painted, because I was about to explode.  Gabe and I haven't been able to go outside and play, and I haven't been able to work in my garden, and it looks horrible.  Also, I hadn't gotten much sleep that night, (Gabe decided to wake up right after I laid down) and woke up with Gabe at 6:30 in the morning.  I was not a happy camper.

So...

He went out and bought the cheapest mower he could find.

Yeah, maybe not the smartest purchase, but like I said, I was desperate, so I agreed.

It took him forever to assemble it, and then he had to go get gas, and by that time, he had to go to work.

So...

Our lawn now looks like this:

 

Yes, I know.

This is where things started to turn around.  There are major perks to buying a lawnmower.  Most importantly,

 The Box.

 Yes.  It was a big box too. :)

Remember last week how we made the Huggies box into a car and attached a steering wheel?  Here's a picture for anyone who didn't get to see it.

Cruising around in this awesomeness gave us a whole ten minutes of entertainment.  If you've ever hung out with a baby for a long time, you'll know that that's saying a lot.

Today, with the purchase of the lawnmower, Gabe received his very own, brand new cardboard box house!

 

Isn't it gorgeous?  Let me take you on the tour.

 That's it.  

I was the official decorator.  Gabe just brought his toothbrush.  Seriously though, he was carrying his toothbrush around when he went inside. :)

Here's a nice window view.

I tried to get a picture with both of us, but it wasn't working very well.

I tried again,

and again,

 and again,

 and again,

 and again,

 and again,

 and again

 and then I gave up.  

It was time to move on to other things.  His attention span isn't very long, after all.

 And he drove off into the... sunset?

Umm, the living room.

 Bye-bye!

And, just because I can, I want to show off my new project.  I started it a while ago, but I worked really hard on it this weekend, and finished today!

Love you all,
Emma

These are my showcase pictures!

P.S. I wish you could all come soooooo bad! I love you!

Prom and NYC

 So, my prom dress! Mom and I made it the morning of prom. We are pretty proud of it.

On the car ride to pro the tulle covered three people laps... ha ha ha! It was really fluffy.

 I loved it and felt super awesome!

These are pictures of me with Knights in shining Armour! Oh yah! This was at medieval times it was a blast. I think Sam should have this job. He fits the bill perfectly.

I thought he was the cutest Knight!

He was the friendliest and had really pretty eyes.... but.... he lost first. But he was really nice!

This was at an adorable little restaurant in little Italy. I ordered Manocatti? It was delicious and very fancy.

Sorry I am going so fast but I really need to go to bed. I have missed about a nights worth of slepp from my crazy partying life! So, this is hard to see but that bridge in the distance? That would be the bridge Enchanted was filmed on!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I was singing along to myself as we walked by.

This is the fountain in central park Enchanted was filmed by!

This just looked appealing and Hey! Thats me!

This was an absurdly expensive meal we had in times square. It was so expensive we all bought something and split between the three of us. It was fabulous! Especially the cheescake!

 This was after Phantom of the opera! We were REALLY excited. It was so amazing I practically Cried through the whole show.... ha ha ha! And i got an awesome t-shirt that says Prima Donna on it. It suits me i think!

This is me in a very tall building. Rockofeller? I dunno... I look like a giant though dont i?

There is central park and I just thought this was a good picture. Something you don't see often from me! Ha!

Mia in the radio city music hall bathroom. Seriously look up pictures of the place it is awesome and absurd. There are like two living rooms in there and the furniture is all form the thirties and still in use!

A bad picture of the lobby!

Yup so that is a little bit about my trip. It was super awesome and I have had a lot of fun lately. I get to sing at tri-M Inductions this week! I am pretty excited about that and showcase is coming up! These are the pictures I am using! I dont know why this is underlined. OKay they arent working i will put them up tomorrow! Goodnight! I Love you all sooooo much!Love Mia!

Spring

So, I know I just posted, but I had some pictures I wanted to share.  Some are Gabe being cute, and some are of my house.  I got something new yesterday, and it makes my house look awesome!  It was really exciting.

Hooray for a new couch!  I've been creeping on craigslist and bulletin board for months to find one that we could afford and wasn't trash.  Also, the pink flowers are from the blossoms on our tree in the backyard.

It's an awesome tree.  I love it. :)
