And The Winner Is...

Janaya!!!
It was a really sophisticated method of picking.  It went like this: "Pipes, pick a number between 1 and 32."  "Why?" "Just hurry, you're late."  "Mom, tell me why." "Pipes, pick a number."  "Fine, 20." Thanks to all who left such
 wonderful comments and ideas for me to get
 my rear in gear and enjoy this
 journey!  I took some of your advice and took some 
time to jump on the trampoline with my kids.
I decided to forgo the after 
pictures.  It did get done.  Not
 perfectly, but I am okay with
 that. Instead, I will leave you with pictures of my little man.
He makes me smile. A lot. 

***And by the way...JeffryG., turns out, is someone I know.  Oops.  I don't know him well enough to know that his name is Jeffry G. but I do know him well enough to know that he is a great dad to a lot of great kids and a great husband to a wonderful woman.   He was joking.  If I had known it was him, I would have just laughed.  Because he's funny too.  Sorry JeffryG.  Next time I'll know.

Looks like you had a fun time with your kids. I can't believe how big Crue is already, I think he looks like crayton and piper mixed together-what a cutie! Glad you were able to get your house straight. Take care.

I love the pictures on the tramp! Especially the one of you. Who took that shot? You make me smile Nat.

Natalie! I came across your blog through Becca Jackson's blog! How are you? The kids are too cute and by the way...I love your blog. You crack me up. Hope all is well. It was good to 'see' you.

wow, if knowing that THAT many people read your blog on a daily basis isn't enough motivation to clean your house I don't know what is. You're popular in this blogosphere. And poor jeffrey was trying to make a joke, and got THRASHED. too funny.

who is this Janaya? I like her.

Okay so I am soooo mad! I accidentally did something to my blogger reader account so it has made checking blogs rather difficult. I miss your blog one day...ONE day! And I miss your giveaway. Seriously bummed.

I would have told you to take it one room at a time with some good tunes. I would have told you to not worry about the Duggar wedding because you probably tivo'd it and even if you didn't you know TLC will show it a million times like they did J&K+8's Vow Renewal in Hawaii. I would have told you that you are in good company. My house is in the same shape.

So there you go. I love your tramp pictures. You rocked that toe touch in some fabulous green boots or are they socks...can't tell.

I love that you told Piper that she was late.

Nat...it looks like you had fun on the tramp with your kids. I don't think I can jump like that anymore! Hope you enjoyed your Golden Spoon...I enjoyed mine!

DM said...

You are one of kind...but that is what I love about you so much! :-)

Congratulations Natalie for finding your motivation and janaya for winning the prize (I thought I had it in the bag). Natalie seems so much like the perfect little homemaker with her perfect little family and perfectly dressed beautiful little kids I thought the hilarious irony of my comment would be apparent. But alas, my sarcasm has gotten me into trouble once again. I enjoyed my thorough thrashing, and I will now retire from blog commenting and return to the non virtual world, where body language will dampen the harshness of my cruel humor.

Really, Jeffrey G, "I will now retire from blog commenting and return to the non virtual world, where body language will dampen the harshness of my cruel humor."

Let's see if this is true. Back to Mob Wars for you it looks like.
