my name is carol and i am addicted to 3x3 yellow square
post-it notes.
i had a small panic attack today when i realized 
i was down to my last pad.
i use them everywhere.
reminders on the front hall mirror for the boys.
reminders by the car keys for steve.
reminders everywhere for me.
-
i am obsessed.
reminds me of my obsession for lemons when i was
pregnant with justin....
i'll save that story for another day!

colins newest lego creation.
i love the sound of the lego box as someone is in search for 
the perfect brick.
i love the creations that make their way from the game room
to the kitchen island.
i love that colin still enjoys legos -
way better than a video game !
