YAAAY!!!

More foolishness again about Project Runway!! Christian did see the skit and loved it -here is the email he sent people magazine about it!

Runway Winner Reacts With ‘F’ Word to SNL Skit

Christian Siriano caught Amy Poehler’s impression of him on Saturday Night Live over the weekend and the Project Runway winner has just one word — an ‘F’ word — for the skit. And, no, it wasn’t “fierce.”

“I thought it was SO FUNNY,” the 22-year-old designer wrote in an e-mail to PEOPLE. “Amy [Poehler] looked exactly like me which is kinda scary, but fabulous.” Known for his catty commentary and catchphrase, “That’s fierce,” the pint-sized designer wasn’t the only Project Runway personality to be parodied in the three-minute sketch about a hypothetical Runway spinoff, which features Siriano giving someone an apartment makeover. While Poehler played Siriano, the skit also featured guest host Amy Adams playing Runway host Heidi Klum and SNL castmember Bill Hader imitating Tim Gunn. (See the clip here.)
“The fact that they are even talking about me is so fierce, fabulous and flawless and is such an honor,” Siriano told PEOPLE. “[Poehler] was hilarious and little. It was so crazy that she looked just like me!” And Poehler didn’t just nail Siriano’s sassy tone — she perfectly approximated his flat-ironed hair. “The hair was absolutely perfect,” Siriano wrote.
"I don’t think I could have done it better myself. It was fierce!”

Volcanoes and Dogpiles!

So today was full of friends and fun and family. I had some insomnia issues and was kinda drowsy some of the morning. My girlfreinds didn't get to take me out officially for my birthday so we finallly did that- I chose this funky little pizza place called Magma Pizza- they are the home of the VOLCANIC ROCK OVEN. I had mentioned it to GIbson one day and when I said we were going out with Britton and Lucas's mom, he said he wanted to go there. I htought it was a good idea and the PIZZA was AWESOME!!! when the boys asked about the oven, they turned on these flame thrower things that made us all ooh and ahhh! her are the boys doing superhero poses in front of it!!! Delaney just loved the food and the men coming in on their lunch breaks!!! this little one is trouble!!

when we got home from playing at Britton's (so fun!!), daddy was here and lovingly got dogpiled and snuggled for a while. We then had a funky, creative Thai dinner by Me. Delaney started acting sick, so for FHE we kinda had Father's blessings for the kids and talked about the Priesthood for a sec, and got everyone to bed! Kinda sweet and quiet after that!

Busy week!

Sorry I am so slow at updating this week- we actually had some fun things going on, and some recaps from earlier entries!

On Monday, the weatehr was nice enough that the kids got to play outside and ride bikes a bit. I am disappointed we didn't get much snow, but it is nice to see spring is almost here!!

On Tuesday my LOVELY gal pals, Jenn, ALiah and Faith came over for our 3rd edition of LUNCH BUNCH! we took advantage of the mild weather and fed the ducks in my back yard! One of the reasons I love this home so much! We had my favorite RR recipe and I THINK it went over well! I heard later that ALiah really messed up her back! I am so sorry honey! feel better! do you need me to bring food and Bionicles to lose at your house?

Another BIG even was making the RR recipe that we saw live at her show taping- no we weren't on, but the guy behind us was. The show with the most segments that we taped will be on on MONDAY! so TiVo it! I am wearing pink, Bronwyn, lavendar, and Sterling, Blue. ANyway, while the recipe is good ( i tweaked it a Little) it looks like a- gotta use this phrase- hot mess for a while. I mean this is REALLY green- like somewhat billious green. I was also trying to cram so much spinach into my food processor that I took out my favorite PC spatula!! Here s the link to the official recipe. I also love it with FETA cheese and more garlic (of course). Please make sure you REALLY like spinach before you make it!

the BIGGEST MOST IMPORTANT event of the week was Gibson's Kindergarten ROund up. THis is where all eliglible kids get all the pre-lim work done for K-g. I had to literally produce my first born child, three bills, a birth certificate, DEED TO MY HOUSE and driver's license to these people to ensure that I live in the charming suburb of Ewing. (do YOU guys know where the DEED to your HOUSE is ?????) MY GOSH!! then they proceed to do other things, like show your kid a million pictures and hope they answer the ridiculous questions they ask right. Then they take up all the medical forms- I had 3 non weekend days to get a doctor and a dentist to fill out comprehensive forms of my child's health history! seriously. THen another testing session where they made him write, draw, identify colors, count and hop on one leg. then hop on the other one. Then walk in a straight line. then do it backwards. (field sobriety test anyone??) he got a 97.5% out of 100 becasue he failed to put ears and a neck on his stick figure (yeah, go ahead, roll your eyes. I'll wait.)

but for the most part he was good about it. He was bored during the waiting times, but was happy to see so many of his buddies from pre-school there! I actually got asked where I got my hair cut, so that was big compliment to me! We celebrated being "roundup" by eating pizza and Garlic knots (yum!!!!) at the local pizza shop. The school actually gave us this cute book about the first day of school and one of those cute care packages that has the Hershey kiss and rubber band and stuff in it that represent different aspects of going to school..... Very Exciting stuff- can you see that excitement in the little guy's face??

That night I got to teach Knitting to the Young Women at church (yes I am a knitting nerd and I can't help myself) [BTW-Here is the scarf I talked about last week- my friend LOVED it!]

and then went to a Project Runway finale party at my son's Preschool- yeah- you saw that right- they have a video projector and had it life size. It was me, a couple of teachers and friends and they kept making these drinks that looked like Jolly Ranchers (I am so glad I don't have to mess with that stuff!) It was great to yell at a full size image of the people you wanted to yell at! and see the yummy designs up close!

Thursday I got a pedicure and started cleaning out the basement (my life is so glamourous!) and there was a great Enrichment meeting, thanks MISH! Once I got my attitude under control, I enjoyed being around everyone and doing the service projects.

Friday was the usual whirlwind with the kiddos and domestic goddess-hood: shoping at sams etc while there were torential rains coming

Saturday, more basement and more rain and finally a power outage that scared Gibson to death. Fun times with our oil lamp, candles, flashlights and fireplace (marshmallows, yum!!). Here is some footage of the flooding out back (compare to Tuesday's picture for a frame of reference!!)

WHich brings us to today, the longest and hardest, working day of the week. Delaney had some great moments this week- she learned how to say "I'm sorry" and "tummy hurts" and dressed up in a princess dress, an Eeyore costume, and a diver wetsuit all in one day! She also pooed in the potty for the fun of it. Today she kissed a boy full on the mouth for about 7 seconds, while me and this boy's father just gawked, shocked! Gibson is being a big brother and an all-around-almost-kidergarten kid! they seem to be getting more brilliant and grown up by the minute!

FIERCE!!! SNL Project Runway!!

Funniest SNL short in a long time!! Only true Project Runway fans will appreciate this!! I am sure Christian LOVES this, and it has just added to his insaitable fascination with himself!!! I know I Howled!!!! Tim Gunn was dead on too!!

Diva on the move!

So, after sleeping for a couple nights with Gibson, Gibson was sick of Delaney. When she was henceforth rejected and put into her own bed, she went nuts with baby angst. We found her curled behind her door with all of her blankets cocooned around her (so yes, she can get out of her crib by herself!!!) Well, today at nap, I guess she was similarily vexed, and this is how we found her rubbing her eyes sleepily and the condition of her room after said nap-

This is the dynamo out fit the little miss put on while throwing her little room trashing fit- that is three bibs, a onesie, a pair of overalls and a sweatshirt-around her waist, of course. WE found out later that their wasn't a diaper on under there either! Of course she left a puddle somewhere in the house that has yet to be discovered!! Can you say Headstrong?? MY little girl?? WHere did it come from???

Giggleberrys!

We went to this amazing place called Giggleberry Fair in Peddler's Village, PA on Friday with Wendy, Lucas, Jayne, Ellis and Little baby Nancy Jayne. We had so much fun! there is this HUGE play structure that anyone can climb on and has tons of sponge balls that can be loaded into cannons and guns and shot out and vacuumed up. The big down side was the dust that was SO thick that it looked like dryer lint!! it can seem a little pricey, but we used all of the things we paid for- the Carousel, and a cute little place that reminded me of the Please Touch Museum called Discovery Land.

Here is a pic of my own little giggleberry on the Carousel!! Anyone else wanna go?? I would love to go again!

NYC Advertising!

So when I went to RR, I decided I would be a little touristy, because really, I haven't been a commuter in years! I had so much fun riding the NEW double decker New Jersey Transit car- i even sat on the bottom or the car and planned on riding on the top on the way back, but we didn't have a fancy double decker on the way back!!

Anway, I did get this lovely piece of Art- The Shuttle (a subway) to Grand Central was COMPLETELY covered in this wood grain contact paper, and then the poles looked like Giant Swiffers. I decided, Why not get some pics? I'm a tourist today!!
