Busy!

I declare, I think I am busier now than when I worked outside the home.   The laundry still rarely gets caught up yet I never just sit on my bottom with nothing to do.  Wonder why this is?

This weekend was already full with a baby shower, 2 birthdays and church, then a makeup school day was added due to the snow and ice last week.  Oh and lets not forget the income tax piles I had already on the table.  Thankfully, by 1am this morning, the hubby and I had it completed and ready to take to the accountant. 

So, here it is Monday.  Ok, I had big list of "to do's" this morning before going back to G's class to help.  Drop off necklace I made at a friends, take G to school, take B to daycare, meet a another girlfriend at Smart Start to watch her lil one while she finished her daughters party things, go to tax office and get gas.  I was up and at'em on time had me ready and kids ready on schedule and get them to school and daycare then hit a snag. It's President's Day.  The other places on my list are closed and that puts a stop to my "to do's" for today.  

Not a total waste of time.  I have used this time and the public library's Internet access to catch up on emails, facebook messages and even get a few ideas for children's church that I have on Sunday.

Happy Monday!

Valentine's Day

Thanks to more snow days, I had time to make up these cute little treats for G's class for Valentine's Day.  Thankfully, they are going to school tomorrow but on a delay.  I ate what was leftover already and was beginning to think I was going to have to eat these up too.

Thankful that I am able to do things like this for her kindergarten class.

 

 

I have to apologize.  I found several of these on Pinterest but didn't save them on a board to know how to give credit for them.  When I do find the source I will leave it in comments.

Rainy Haircut Saturday

Well, for several months now I've been telling my husband I was okay with getting B's curls cut.  Finally, the day has come.  It is surely a cold and rainy day but they went.  I sent a bag to keep his curls and asked for pictures.  Oh I sure hope he takes pictures.

So, yesterday K started building up the hair cut.  He let B know that Mr Ray kept a jar of Dum Dum suckers for the kids who got their hair cut.  And that they could go get hash browns from McDonald's afterwards.  B was all for the Dum Dums and hash browns but the haircut, not so much.

I heard them pull up outside and was almost scared to look.  Honestly, I really was thinking that he probably pitched a fit and K didn't go through with it.  Boy was I wrong.  Oh, I cried.  I almost felt like I couldn't breathe.  He looks like such a little man now.  That's not why I cried.  It was just one of those milestones that remind us that they don't stay little for long.

After, after deliberately messing it up

 

 

Now, I've been informed that G wants hers cut. In fact, I've never had it fixed from where she cut it at school!

Snow Days to Sick Days

Okay, so we go to school one day this past week and then are out for the snow.  From Monday evening on we were inside the house except for the day we went out to play in the snow.  Then Friday, G spikes a fever and then I do.  What?  How? Oh well, it doesn't matter.  It just so happens our pediatrician is the clinic on call  so we were there when they opened.  Strep- very quickly determined.  Away with antibiotic for her and to another clinic for me.

  Good news is our fevers broke last night, hubby stayed away with B for yesterday and he seems to be fine.  By Monday morning, we will both have had 3 days of meds and fever free and will be safe for her to go to school.  I'm sure the snow days will be made up but still I hated for her to miss anymore days of school.  Glad we caught it early.

Still trying to keep kids apart is definitely a challenge.  B doesn't understand and G forgets but I think we are in the "short rows" now.  I for one am very THANKFUL for that too. 

I did get a a couple pictures of the kids while playing in the snow.

It's That Kind of Day

So, it's been extremely cold around our parts.  Heat has run non stop for several days now.  And lets not forget about the preventative measures for frozen pipes.  Today its warmer but that's just nature teasing us all.  Come in the morning we should see sleet and then snow.  Calling for 3-6 inches last I heard.  So today is not a blog day, its a run errands, get prescriptions, gas and grocery kinda day.

Stay safe and warm!

But let me say I'm working on a cute little "poppin" Valentine for G's class and I will sure post pictures soon.

Something Fun for the Kids

If you know me, then you know my love for Pinterest.  I just love it.  In fact, I love it so much that I set a timer so that I will not spend all day on  it.  I really do.  There's just so many ideas on there.  So here is one that the kids will love.  You know every child loves to get something in the mail box.  I found the address on Pinterest for the kids to write to their favorite Disney character and they would receive a signed picture back in the mail.  So B chose Mickey Mouse and G decided on Cinderella.

This is what G got:

 

 

 

 

 

And this is what B got back.

 

 

 

For anyone that's interested here is the address we sent our letters to:

 

 

 

 

Happy writing ya'll!

 



Please be patient...

I am doing a little tweaking to my blog design.  Thought I had it figured out but then I couldn't get the ads to be centered.  Now I can't even find the ads so I am trying to figure it all out and then I will get back to posting.  Have a great day!
