Happy October Everyone

Can you believe it is October already?!? That means that Christmas is right around the corner, and I havent even started my shopping yet. Every year I tell myself, "I am gonna start in August" and then every year something comes up that doesnt allow it to happen.

So, of my readers (I dont think there is very many), how many of you have started christmas shopping already? Please tell me none, so I dont feel all alone!!

Also have you decided what your children will be for Halloween? M is gonna be Minnie Mouse, and N and Boo Boo are going to be G.I. Joe. N is going to be Storm Shadow, and Boo Boo is going to be Snake Eyes.

Weekend Wrap Up and Fishful Thinking

Well this weekend was actually kinda relaxing. We went to my nieces birthday party on Sat and then we bbq'ed, and then on Sun we didnt do anything. It was nice to have a weekend where we didnt have to do anything at all. Although it does make for a boring up date for everyone.

Now for the Fishful Thinking. Click the link on the bottom of my blog and you can earn some really cool perks! I think it is a great program. Or here is the link to take you directly there. http://fishfulthinking.repnation.com/Log.ashx?a=2&i=364&r=42b73582-1a4c-4b3f-9559-a6f27a2bf0ee

So check it out, I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed. Here is a video from them explaining what it is all about:

whew....what a weekend....

I had the busiest weekend ever this weekend.

It all started fri, I had some last minute stuff I had to do before the birthday party on sat. I had to go to Target and Walmart and the grocery store. Then N is sick, so I had to go get him from school early. Then we had to go to my aunts and my sisters to pick some stuff up and then home to bake 6 boxes of cupcakes.

Then Sat the jumper got here at 10ish, and then we were busy from then on. There was some last minute cleaning that needed to be done, a quick shopping trip, the kids needed showers, there was cupcakes that needed to be frosted, then decorating that needed to be done before everyone got here. Then the inlaws stayed the night and there was cleaning up that needed to be done.

Then on sun, we were up early again, thanks to the kids. The me and my mil and my sil went to the mall to walk around, and we had a couple guests that couldnt make it yesterday stop by today. Then there was some more cleaning up once everyone left.

All in all, it was a GREAT weekend, but I am tired. Thankfully it only comes once a year!!! I will have pics up VERY VERY soon!!! Stay tuned.

Craziness.....

There has been some craziness around here, which is why I have been sparse!!!

School has started, so me and M are starting to get back into our routine. Hopefully that includes naps again. We are having a combined birthday party for M and Boo Boo this Sat, so I have been getting things ready for that. I decided to paint the master bathroom and the kitchen, so I have been busy with that.

Hopefully things slow down soon, cause this craziness is driving me insane. But I still would like to paint the front bathroom and paint my bedroom. Then the whole house, with the exception of the kids rooms, would have been painted this year. But the kids rooms were painted shortly after M was born, so it hasnt even been 3 years. So they dont need it yet.

The kids are loving school already. Boo Boo loves his teacher, but N hasnt even met his yet. Just before school started she fractured her foot, so she has had a sub since school started. But he hasnt complained yet, so I assume he enjoys it. He said to me when he woke up yesterday "today is the first day of homework mom!!!" he was soooo excited about homework starting!! He is the first child I know to be excited about homework!!

I have pics from the first day of school that I still need to upload, as soon as I do, I will post them here!!!

If there is anyone out there reading this, PLEASE comment, so I know I dont do this just for me. It is sounding a little echoey around here!!!!

M's Dance Recital.....

was last night. Lets just say for her it was a flop, for all the other kids, they did AWESOME!!!

I think that M is going to have the same fear of performing in public that I do. I do NOT like to do things in front of large crowds, I dont even like being the center of attention at a birthday party.

I do think that it was a great experience for her though. She was VERY VERY excited until she got up on stage and then I had to leave her. You will see from the pics. The pics will tell the story, as they say "a picture is worth a thousand words"

This was while we were waiting to go into the room


This was while she was sitting waiting to be called on stage to perform


Her and her cousins being silly


She was excited at first


She is starting to become nervous


Not so sure about this


All hell broke loose


Complete meltdown


Mad cause I made her stay up there

The end!!!

One can only handle so much of Las Vegas. While we had a GREAT time, I am tired!! We stayed up way too late both nights, and were up way too early the next mornings, and boy are we feeling it!!! It feels really nice to be home and in our own beds. That was something that we REALLY needed!!!

I am looking forward to our next vacation. Be on the look out for pics coming VERY soon!!

ZhuZhu Pets Review and Giveaway!!!




Recently I had the opportunity to Review this REALLY cool toy called "ZhuZhu Pets" they were formally called "Go Go pets".

"Zhu Zhu Pets are fun, interactive hamsters that talk, move and even navigate their way around their own habitats. And the best thing about these pets? No mess and no fuss…just hours of interactive play!"

This toy is fabulous. M LOVES is. I dont think a day has past that she hasnt played with it. She even sleeps with the hamster. She sits in her room quietly and plays with this Hamster all day long, for hours at a time. She gets angry when one of the boys takes it away from her. And as I am sure most of you know, it is hard to get a 2.5 year old to sit still for very long.



I have 1 Hamster and a Spiral Slide and Ramp to give away FREE to one of my blog readers.

All you have to do to enter to win is leave me a comment here after this post.

For additional entries:
  • Follow my blog
  • Follow me on twitter
  • 2 extra entries for blogging about this giveaway!!
Make sure you leave separate comments for each telling me you did so. The contest ends next Friday August 28th. The winner will be chosen at random. GOOD LUCK!!!

Semi-Wordless Wednesday

Boo Boo lost his first tooth yesterday (other than his one tooth that was pulled, but that doesnt count!!)!! He was sooooo excited!! Dont mind the bandaids on his eye and forehead. N decided to stand on D's car and as Boo Boo ran past him, he jumped off and on Boo Boo's back causing him to fall and scrape up is face.

Weekend Update

Well this weekend was very uneventful. Pretty relaxing if you ask me.

Friday we went to my moms for dinner, like we do every Friday night. We brought my little sister home with us for the night.

Saturday, M had dance class. She refused to dance. I think she woke up in a bad mood. She decided that she didnt wanna go to sleep until after midnight on Friday night, and she had to be up fairly early (9) for dance. Nine is early for her when she goes to bed that late. She will typically sleep until 10:30 or 11 after going to bed that late. So she sat there with the other girls with her ears plugged. Little brat!! Then we came home and D was at my brother in laws house for a fantasy football draft. So then me and the kids did yard work. 6.5 hours of yard work to be exact, but my front and back yard look REALLY nice now!!!

Today, we just kinda lounged. I was babysitting my friends 2 little ones, and we took them to the park for a little while. We came home and just relaxed!!

It is so nice to actually not have to do anything for the weekend.

1 more week and we leave for VEGAS!! I am soooo excited. I havent been there since 1998. OMG!!! That is 11 years ago!!!

So who is all reading this? If you are reading/lurking leave me a comment so I know how many readers I have. I quite possibly have a giveaway to do, but I am not sure if I wanna do it if I only have 2 readers!!

Thanks for all of you that are still around!!
