I just can't decide :(

I have been spending all morning trying to find a new cute blog layout. let me know what you think. it may be a winner :):)
Madeline got a new hula hoop the other day and is OBSESSED. She doesn't quite get it to spin around her hips so she just holds onto it and twirls around. Super Cute!
This week's drama has been my hair color. I needed to dye it due to thegrays that are starting to sprout and have been advised by my stylist that i CANNOT just pluck them every time or i will become bald. So i went and bought what seemed to be the color that was closest to my natural color. or so i thought. after an exciting trip to Walgreen's which had me chasing Madeline all over the store as she ran with no shoes on up and down the aisles i got home and was ready to go. let me just say i DO NOT look good as a redhead. It was terrible. although no one else seemed to notice except me but that's not the point, I KNEW it was red. After spending two days completely hating my hair i decided to dye it Dark Ash Brown. This ASH word was the key i guess. apparently gals like me that don't want red in their hair need to choose only colors with ASH in it to avoid this. The result.... SUCCESS! it still has a little red to it from the initial dye job but now i am a dark brown color that is quite a bit darker than my original but much better than red so I'll take it :) I would send you a photo but i think that's kinda weird to just take a picture of my hair. i am sure you get the point :)
Tonight Madeline and i are going to go and try to find her a babysitter for Friday nights. there is a girl down the street i have been kinda stalking for the past few months and now since i have officially met her and her mom and brother and sister i feel comfortable enough to go and get her number :) Hopefully this works out because Brian and i have discovered that kickball with a two year old = NO FUN!
Wish us luck!

Thoughts and Prayers

Just wanted to ask everyone to send thoughts and prayers for my boss' family. His mother passed away last night and it is very sad. She was a neat woman and will be dearly missed.

weekend update....

This weekend was pretty busy. On Friday we had our first kickball game. The Bayside Tiger's came up short with a loss in the first game but then a tie for the second. Starting the season at 0-1-1 i guess isn't so bad. Then Saturday my Relay for Life team hosted a pub crawl in downtown royal oak. it was a SUCCESS!! We raised more money than expected and all had a lot of fun. Not to mention the Wings pulled out their first victory for the Stanley Cup finals. GO WINGS! Sunday my mom (Nana) and Megan and Broc joined Brian, Scott, Madeline and i at the Detroit zoo. It was a beautiful day out and we had our own little Jimmy Johns picnic and then enjoyed the sights. There is a new joey at the zoo and i was sad Maddy wasn't with us at the time to see him/her but i can't wait to take her back to em out. Finished the weekend with a marvelous dinner, thank you Scott and Bri and enjoyed a second Wings victory. This week is pretty low key so that feels nice. I need to get back on track with my Half Marathon training schedule so this will be a good week for that. Life gets so busy sometimes. I really think if Madeline would suck it up and let herself enjoy a nice ride in the jogging stroller once in awhile it would make my life a whole lot simpler:) oh well. Here are some pictures that my sister captured yesterday. One of these days I'll invest in a new camera and be able to keep everyone up to date with more current ones. Until then i will steal them from sandy and Megan, thanks ladies :)
