Virus`

Not much going on this week except taking care of a sick kid. At times like these, I am VERY thankful to have only one child. Can't imagine having more than one kid sick with a dreaded virus. Poor R is very upset that she now longer has the chance at perfect attendance. She had made up her mind before school started that she wanted perfect attendance and then someone shared the great virus with her. She cried over this.. Poor baby ;(

Hopefully she is on the mend and be ready for this weekend.. Lots of things going on for Halloween. Mimi is mailing her costume to us today and should have it by Friday!! Turned out pretty cute from the picture I seen!

Hope yall have great rest of the week!

Busy as a bee...

Whew, craft sale is this week. Thankful for the cool weather spell we will have while its craft sale time! Just makes it feel more like craft sale time when we get a front! Normally it is pouring down rain on Thursday when we have to deliver everything, but have a feeling with the drought, we will be free of that this year!

 I got my little 2x4 snowmen complete. Thanks to J for helping me out! I think they are quite cute :) Of course, I love all snowmen. Ugly, cute, fat, short, skinny, bright colors etc.. My house and tree are covered in snowmen when it comes time for Christmas! This year, I have a Amish snowman joining the rest of the 100's I have. From Lancaster County, PA!!!! But back to craft sale snowmen, here they are:

Today I am making Mummy Oreo's on a stick! Can't wait to see how they turn out! Then as the week progresses, Giant Chocolate Covered Marshmallows on a stick, Giant Smores on a stick, Peep Pumpkin Smore bags, Fall M&M Magic Cookie Bars, Pumpkin sheet cakes and, and and... The list continues...This is all to be finished by Thursday by the way.
Thanks to Pinterest for all the awesome ideas.. Food and snowmen :)

On to Christmas. I got R's Christmas dress ordered this morning.

Sorry for the fuzzy pic! I took a picture of the screen with my cell phone LOL I can't wait! Now to get pictures scheduled.

On the Game On Diet, my 2nd round ended. Our team won again (me, Steph and Tori)! Whohoo! Just barely tho, by 3 points I believe it was! It served as a reminder that every point counts, and when you don't feel like exercising or eating correctly, then you just might loose cuz you didn't get your points in!

That's all for today! Enjoy this awesome weather we have coming in!

Happy 12 years to my husband!

So hard to believe that time flies so fast. It has been 12 wonderful years married to my best friend. We had a wonderful weekend together. On Friday evening we went to Houston. Stayed at the Galleria. When I went to check into our room, the young girl working behind the counter asked why we were there. I told her celebrating our 12th anniversary. She smiled and said she was going to upgrade our room to a King Suite and give us free breakfast!! Every time she seen us that weekend, she would tell us congrats again and again. I guess its few and far between these days to see couples stay married together rather than divorce. That evening we had dinner at Cheesecake Factory (stayed on my diet with a veggie omelet and no cheesecake!) and then to see Faces at the AD Players theatre. Very good, but we are both still a little confused on it ;)

Saturday morning, I actually slept past 7 o clock!! More like till past 8. It was so wonderful to sleep late :) Or what I consider late! After a nice breakfast (FREE) at the hotel, we ventured off to Galveston for the afternoon. We rode 2 seater bikes down the seawall. FUN FUN FUN! Got my exercise in for the day and enjoyed the gorgeous weather. The beach was beautiful (well as beautiful as Galveston beach can be!) Not too many people out and the water looked nice. For lunch, we had big ol' hamburgers at THE SPOT. We love this place. Homemade buns and add your fixin's to your burger. (This was my off day on the diet) Later we came back to THE SPOT for GIANT waffle cones of Blue Bell Icecream. Blue Bell equals LOVE! Wow, it was delicious.

Sunday morning, we got R and decided to take her to Kemah for a few hours. We enjoyed our family time. Saltgrass for lunch. Rode the Ferris Wheel and the train as a family, then more rides for R.

I am thankful for the husband that God gave me. Thankful he provides for our little family so that I'm able to stay home and do the things I get to do. PTA, homeroom mom, all the things R needs me to do, and that J needs me to do. I am truly blessed.

Comments!

For some crazy reason, I can't leave comments on my own blog! I can't figure it out.. Help anyone???

Miss Smarty pants..

has all 100's on her first 6th week report card!!!! So proud of her! Keep up the awesome work R!!!!!!

Tuesday ramblings

R is taking piano lessons. She is loving it so far. Working on her 2nd month! Snapped this pic today while she was practicing. Maybe one day we can get a 'big' piano! But for now, the keyboard is doing great!

God answered a prayer for us. A big one. I am so thankful that God knows just what is right for us in our lives and cares enough about us to guide us in the right direction! He knows what is best for the now and our future!

This week R gets out early two days! She just doesn't understand that its FUN to get out of school early ;) She thinks its torture. She loves school!!! I know one day in the near future that will probably change, but for now, school is cool!!

On to Halloween. I finally decided Mimi has to make R's costume. So Mimi, if your reading this while your on vacation, get ready soon as you get home to tackle the project!! She will be a Polka Dot Princess.

A beautiful day for a wedding

The big day that was prepared for so long has come and gone now. It was absolutely gorgeous. Probably my favorite wedding this year. The colors were so beautiful together. Rich peacock colors all mixed together. Very beautiful. Plus my favorite little girl was a flower girl ;)
