wed 27,2010

Nicholas had a project due today that included a report and diorama. well, i thought we had tons and tons of time but there i was at michaels last night buying moss. He chose alligators (why? not sure). As i was trying to sleep I kept thinking i could do more for the alligators habitat if i used my cricut :) so before school this morning I was cutting turtles and trees... i'm kinda thinking the tree from the mickey and friends cartridge is not exactly swamp like but hey i was racing against the clock. Of course Nicholas doesnt look very excited in the picture :( for some reason he seems to be hitting stages of 'boyhood' way too soon. when we got to his class the girls ran up to him asking to see his project and he told them, "RAAAAAA, he says RAAAAA!" while he was moving the alligator box habitat thing toward them,lol. boys,ugh!! come to find out we were not the only people out last night buying supplies ;) i love truthful parents :)

tuesday 26

I always wonder what my husband and i are going to do when the kids are grown and out of the house. His hobby, golfing :P well, i've tried golfing a few times and its just not my thing but I'm not going to give up. I was at target and like always I looked at the pink golf clubs (not sure why i always look) they were on clearance!!!! i am now the proud owner of pink clubs :)so now i have a date with hubby on sunday at the golf course. He helps me with my scrapbooking and crafts when i need him to, but I dont see him running to buy himself his own paper and adhesive any time soon ;)

flour or flower

My mom gave us 50lbs of flour (that's another post all on its own) and we really don't have anywhere to store it, so i had to go shopping for a bucket. unfortunately, they didn't have pink but the next best color, cricut green ;) I HAD to decorate it using my pink vinyl and cricut. I thought it would be funny to put flower on it instead of flour just to get a reaction out of my husband. childish? yes but still funny.
He has yet to see it because he worked late, but I'm just gonna wait until he does. I have to remember to let my younger kids know that's not the real spelling of that kind of flour :)

sunday 1/24/10

3 pictures for my potd. now i'm not too sure how I'm gonna fit all these pictures into one album. Its a good thing i decided to go with the lickety split albums from Bazzil.
It was my father inlaws birthday so we had lunch for him at our house. Its always a nice day with the inlaws because I love them to pieces and love having them around.
the kids were laughing watching him blow out his candles because they knew they would re lite again ;)
I was working on a bday gift for a friend and of course Joey had to join me in my craft room. I gave him ribbon to use and he decided wrapping it around his head was a great idea.
last picture is the bday gift i made my friend :) sure hope she isnt insulted,lol.
hope you all had a great weekend :)

finally caught up to today

I have been very sick with strep throat so I haven't been keeping up with my potd. This is the 2nd time this month i have had strep and I'm not liking it. It started way back at Thanksgiving when my 8 yr old had it and now we are in a whole new year and I'm still dealing with it. of course i'm the lucky one to get it twice,ugh..
My kids love hats but nicholas is the only one that really wears them everywhere. I have bought sunnie the cutest hats but you think she keeps them on, nope! well, today she decided to wear every hat but her own (figures). I had to let her know ladies don't lift their shirt up for the world to see their business ;).

friday 1/22 potd

My husband is a wonderful cook and does 99% of the cooking. I asked for fresh homemade flour tortillas and he delivered ;) For dinner we had beans, red chili and fresh tortillas. DELISH!!!! no wonder I'm having a hard time losing weight...

Thursday 1/21 potd

thank goodness my husband was with me at the grocery store. I had the 2 four year olds and sunnie and decided it was a good idea to go full blown shopping. first, joey and helen needed there own little cart (we were lucky enough to get the only one the store has,lol). second, i get a text from AJ saying school has let out early because of continuous fire alarms (?). third, i get a call from nicholas' school because during recess he was was tripped and his tooth cut through his lip. finally, joey had a major melt down at the register because he didnt want the sugarless gum i was offering. What ever happened to the days of just plain old grocery shopping? I'm guessing it has a little something to do with having 5 kids :) Truthfully, its all so worth it.
