day 271: 9/30 sun

took q for a walk & we scored big on cans!  she has made a little over $100 in the year that we have been collecting them.  still not for sure what she will buy with her money just yet since she is too big for the barbie car.  :)

took a bday invite to a friend down the street, this is what i got as we headed home.  these girls love each other so MUCH!!!  i think this is one of my most fave pics in a long time.  :)

who doesn't need a pair of skel-a-flamingos?  i wish i had snagged up this pair!  they were gone the next time i went to the store.  :(

the big baby getting her flu shot!  do you see that she has 2 different colored socks on?  is this being lazy or are all the kids doing it?

got employee of the month!  got my own parking spot & a certificate to a restaurant along with my name on the plaque.  :)

a hat i was working on, look at all those ends that needed to weaved in!  that's what sucks about changing colors.  :)

 day 275: 10/04 wed

angry bird bandaid!  my shoe was rubbing the back of my foot, that hurts!!

pumpkins brought over from the local pumpkin patch.  the warty one was so abused!  they hated on it because it wasn't the prettiest!  :(  that green one reminds me of a goose.  ;)

day 276: 10/05 friday

finished the braids on the above hat.  :)

sivy & mayra modeling their slouchies :)

day 277: 10/06 sat

princess birthday party at a friend's house!  hopp loves snow white!  q of course was dressed as rapunzel, that's her current favorite now.  we have the wig but i made her wait until halloween because i didn't want her to mess it up.  aren't they adorbs?!?! 

366 days of photos week 20

this week we had mother's day festivities, nails & a class gift project, so here we go...



day 132: sun 5/13 mother's day 2012 

me & hopp at abuelo's after dinner.  i love this pic of me & her but it looks like she is trying to grope me.  ;o)

4 generations!  my mom, hopp, j, q & me

hopp & diddy, oh hopp!  keep those peepers open & on the camera please.  :)

day 133: mon 5/14

i hit the jackpot at heb the other day & got both of these colors of polish for only $1!!!  they are made by wet n wild & are a part of the wild shine collection.  the blue is called blue moon & has the prettiest shade of deep royal with a hint of green in it & the glitter is called kaleidoscope.  it isn't blue but i put 2 layers on top of 1 layer of the blue.  i just did the ring finger in glitter & it turned out so pretty.  yes, claudia, it's my glitter accent nail i talked about on pinterest one day.  :o)

day 134: tues 5/15 no pic :o(


day 135: wed 5/16

hopp was being such a good girl at the shoe store in the mall that i let her ride one of the cars right outside the shoe store.  :o)  she was the happiest little girl in the world right at that moment, these are the moments that i wanted to record & why i started this blog.  look at that sweet face, could she smile any bigger?!?

day 136: thurs 5/17 no pic again...


day 137: fri 5/18

it's field day at school, i did her hair in a mini braid & then added the long braid to the big pony.  :o)



look at that stance!  she is getting so big!!!  i think that is her fave shirt, kitty with headphones & it's sparkly.  :)

after field day & then lunch they had their awards ceremony.  she had really cute little awards for each kiddo that was a different candy bar.  q got the "milky way" award.  she loved it & i guess had never had a milky way.  she loved it so much she said she wants a milky way everyday!  yeah right!!!  ;)

q wanted to give everyone a thank you card in her class for being her friend but i came up with friendship bracelets (of course the idea came from pinterest, here's the site for my idea), i will post all of them in week 21 but we started working on them friday evening.  i found an easy 5-strand braid & she caught on really quickly.  this was the first one she did all by herself!

close up of the braid you can find the video here, it's really easy & the young lady that teaches you is very thorough & cute!  :o)

day 138: sat 5/19

after going to a crazy i just happen to see in the paper's listings for a daybed, a wooden one at that, that i have been waiting for, for over a month or two, & it was only $35 for the day bed & the trundle!!!!!  ok, i'm done rambling, we headed to the park.  it was early so it was beautiful with the sun out & the air had a crisp chill to it.  i say perfect morning!  i love this pic of hopp's hair with sunlight caught in it.  what a little angel!!!

q & i finally talked hopp off the swings, it's all she wants to do anymore at the park!  i caught them coming down, i slowed them down just enough to catch this pic, look at the happiness on q's face.  omg, she loves her sisters!!!

and slow enough to catch this one too.  love those cheesy little smiles!!!  yep that's morning hair, didn't even take the time to really fix their hair, but who cares?  not me, saturdays are for fun not fussing with hair!!!  :o)

now that i'm caught up maybe i can get next weeks in time.  :o)  have a great week & 3 day weekend, & don't forget to thank a veteran or active service man/woman for all they have & will be doing for us!!! 

dark kiss from bath & body, the jesus & braids

one of my great purchases the other day from b&bw was dark kiss shower gel, i think it was $1, it was the smaller travel sized bottle, it smelled good in the bottle so i got it.  i used it this morning & i can still smell it!  it would be nice but i don't like musk scents.  :(  this is kind of like the twilight woods scent but tw smells 1000x worse.  omg that shit STANKS!!!  so i think i will not use it again & let jess have it.  so loves all that stuff & she loves the tw scent too.  :(  one day she showered with it & then had body spray & i could smell that crap for HOURS!!!  it probably is not helpful to me that i'm super sensitive to perfumes & stuff like that.  every since i quit smoking 9½ yrs ago my sense of smell is crazy! 

dark kiss from b&bw

speaking of smelly stuffs, last night it was mez night with my crochet/knit group & cristal got a glass of wine that smelled so alcohol-y it was ridiculous!  then claudia got this brownie ala mode thing & the chocolate smell was HORRIFIC!  it made me sick to my stomach!  WTF!  chocolate as a smell, is not a BAD thing at all!  i'm so hoping it's the predinose pack i'm taking for my foot & not the dreadful pregnancy sensitivity!  i have the implanon so i'm thinking it's the steroids!  :)



oh & i want to introduce everyone to jesus.  yes that's right, like jc not the spanish version.  i call him jesus because he reminds me of 'the jesus' from the big lebowski.  he scares me all the time because it looks like a man standing behind me & in the dark it's even freakier!  i like it though.  whoever did it, guessing it's syd, from the name next to him, did a good job.  i guess it could be angelina jolie or steven tyler in a purple jumpsuit too with those big ass lips.  :)



this is 'the jesus' from big lebowski, i meant to post with the other pics yesterday :o)




then this morning my princesses looked so pretty, they had pink tanks on & i did their hair all pretty so i snapped a pic.  i love q's hair this am, i did a small braid in the front & then just gathered it into a pony tail.  my french braiding is getting so much better, jess will be super excited as she is always asking me to braid her hair.  :)  oh i miss jess so much!  i get to see her in a week.  :o]



hopp & q, such cuties!!!!




braid from the top side view, so proud of myself!
