i wanted to show you some happiness.
i asked craig if i could do the back stairway like this....he said yes....i think i might have cried a little.
i bet he doesn't remember saying yes. :)
i am not a big fan of mouth piercings....but i love the hair!
can you imagine if i had this hair???
do you think kids would still come to my sunday school class?
pretty.
happy room.
hmmm......
love this....makes me want to make stuff.
and this too!
i really want to get messy with paint!
yummy.
really yummy.
i want to go to a rainbow party.
i want to have a rainbow party....for me!
and that is all i've got today.
i am sleepy.
and busy.
and have grumpy kids that are making me a little cranky.

I think you should have a rainbow party all for yourself! You deserve it! One of the other blogs I stalk just posted about the rainbow party she had for her daughter and I love it! Here's the link: http://beehiveandbirdsnest.blogspot.com/2011/04/rainbow-party.html

I want to have a rainbow party too! ha! Wonder if my father in law would like his 60th to include rainbows?? ......maybe not so much, huh?
Posted by: Holly | April 20, 2011 at 05:33 PM
I want a rainbow cake! That looks really fun to look at and then eat it!

I want a rainbow party too!! I really like the stairs...I wonder if military housing people wouldn't mind....wait, of course I NEED stairs to paint...hmmm =P
Posted by: Carolyn | April 20, 2011 at 05:39 PM
Thanks for the inspiration! Did you watch Parenthood last night?!
Posted by: Leah | April 20, 2011 at 05:40 PM
Love it! Thanks for the inspiration...I'm planning a rainbow party for my soon to be 4 year old!
Posted by: Jill | April 20, 2011 at 06:02 PM
Hmmmm rainbow is not my favorite theme, but we may not be coming at this from the same direction. Pretty though.
Posted by: Happygirl | April 20, 2011 at 06:02 PM
abe would love your rainbow hair ;-)

My office needs a rainbow party. How awesome is grey and grey every day?
Posted by: Nichole | April 20, 2011 at 06:14 PM
Bummer that you didn't source the photos you borrowed to post on your super popular site. If you are going to use them the least you can do is send some traffic towards the owner of the photo...would make me sad to see one of my photos and no credit. just saying. Do unto others you know...
Posted by: Blog Reader | April 20, 2011 at 06:19 PM
I made the cake. It was WAY too sweet for me, but oh so pretty! I wanted to keep a slice just to look at :)
Posted by: amy | April 20, 2011 at 06:23 PM

kids would totally come to your sunday school class - i bet if you told them "if we have (fill in the # of kids) next week I will color my hair rainbow," you'd have the biggest class ever!
Posted by: Erin | April 20, 2011 at 06:54 PM
i didn't even know i like rainbows until i started reading your blog...now i want blank white backdrop of walls with great colorful pops all over my house. i guess i was a HUGE fan of Rainbow Bright back in the day, tho.
also, my kids made me crazy today.
also, i want to make that abc picture thing
also, what is pinterest...i don't think i need another 'hobby.'
i just found that a photo from my blog had been "pinterested" whatever that is??
Posted by: Alicia @ La Famille | April 20, 2011 at 06:54 PM
dude. my kids are making me cranky too. at least we have rainbows to cheer us up! What if I did my whole new house in rainbows? do you think that would be TOO much? cause I'll do it.
whatever it takes to unleash the happiness.
and put skittles up all over in glass jars with easy access. :)
Posted by: Courtney Walsh | April 20, 2011 at 07:04 PM
I don't comment enough despite reading your blog for quite a while now. Just had to say hello and love your colorful style! I have now decided that I want some rainbow pennants hung across my office walls! How could you not be happy and productive with rainbow pennants surrounding you??! :)
God Bless!

Come to my house and I'll host a rainbow party for you! : )
Love the photos, I was thinking about doing a spectrum with the stair spindles but I think my hubby would think my mind was gone for good!

I love the "somewhere over the rainbow" party idea!
Posted by: Julia | April 20, 2011 at 08:00 PM
I love those stairs. I have that dog. I want that hair.
Posted by: Janie Fox | April 20, 2011 at 08:02 PM
Those stairs are making my hyperventilate in the best possible way!
We did a rainbow theme for the Babby's second birthday and it was awesome!
Posted by: The BabbyMama | April 20, 2011 at 08:04 PM
oh, i've been dealing with some cranked out kids too....one VERY 'spirited' toddler to be specific. such a bummer that attitudes are so contagious i tell ya!
thanks for the pretties. :)
Posted by: heidi @ wonder woman wannabe | April 20, 2011 at 08:30 PM
I bet more kids would come to your sunday school class if your hair was like that!
Posted by: Kristi | April 20, 2011 at 08:37 PM
Love the photos! Pure Happiness! Can't belive someone complained about not sourcing them though...it's your blog, you have the right to post what you want, when you want and to be lazy and not source it if you want!! (Just my opinion)
Posted by: Kylie | April 20, 2011 at 08:53 PM
If you have a rainbow party I want to come...and you have to have this playing: http://vimeo.com/8578344

Feeling your pain on the sleepy thing. I took a sick day yesterday and slept all day. No kids were at home, it was amazing. But deep down I felt like I should be getting something done. Glad I didn't, I feel a bit better now. Sometimes we run ourselves ragged...
Posted by: Sara | April 20, 2011 at 09:00 PM
west hollywood has an awesome rainbow party...it is called gay pride
wanna be my date?
Posted by: Laura Phelps | April 20, 2011 at 09:08 PM
I don't think they whined, I think it was just a reminder that people work hard on their work and should get credit. And they did say Do unto others, so that's ALWAYS a good reminder to all of us!
Posted by: Amanda | April 20, 2011 at 09:11 PM
If you did your hair like that...you may have twice the number of kids in Sunday School!
LOVE the rainbow steps! Let's throw a rainbow party!! Everything rainbows...I want to make rainbow jello!
Did you watch Parenthood...favorite part...I NEED SOME DRUGS!!!!!!!
Happy Easter...go doodle some eggs!

painting rainbow stairs would be AWESOME>
my 4 year old just saw the long, rainbow hair and said "ooh! what famulous hair!!"
Posted by: elissa | April 21, 2011 at 07:14 AM
Love the rainbow stairs! Maybe that would encourage you to run up and down them over and over again and before you knew it you just did 20 minutes worth of stair stepping! And you were so giddy with excitement and hysterically giggling over the cheerfulness of the stairs you didn't even realize you were exercizing! Score! Oh and that rainbow party isn't just any party its a SUPER EPIC rainbow party! Even better!
Posted by: ashley jensen | April 21, 2011 at 08:31 AM

What is it about bright colors that makes me so happy? Love those stairs! And the cake!!! And the alphabet. I just want a room with bright. Rainbow colors remind me of you meg. Full of light, and full of happiness.
