day 145: sun 5/27

i finally found their day bed at a garage sale for $35!!!  can you believe it?  they are now sleeping better & a little longer.  it's not fancy but hey, i'm not complaining!!!

day 146: mon 5/28

it was memorial day & i posted this pic on fb.  it's my neighbor that has the gorgeous yard.  he always flies his flag on important days.  we use to but our flag pole bracket came off the house & our american flag is in bad condition

day 147: tues 5/29

my glitter nails.  i used the wet n wild brand.  they turned out so pretty!



look how cute, it's a super tiny little mushroom on my dilapidated fence.  i've never seen them before.  not for sure how i saw them in the first place but i love it!  there are several along the fence but i got a really good pic of this one.



day 148: wed 5/30

i did the girls nails to match my glitter nails.  they maybe lasted to morning the next day but it made them happy & i can't pass up a happy girl moment!!!  :o)

day 149: thurs 5/31

did hopp's hair this morning.  she asked for a braid so we did the mini braid.  it's hard to see on her hair because she is dark headed but it was so cute & she was happy.  :o)

day 150: fri 6/1 no pic


day 151: sat 6/2

we started going to a play date group on saturdays, this was our first one.  the girls had a blast!  we love saturday mornings now!  :o)

day 71: sun 3/11/12

this is my newest polish.  i love it, it's a grey-blue & it's glittery!  it's one of the colors in the holland collection with OPI called 'i have a herring problem'.  btw, i got it for free!!!  yep, that's right, i went & got my hair cut, pic to come when i can get a good one, & it was their special with a cut & style you get a free bottle of any color of OPI you desired.  :0)

day 72: mon 3/12

q had blisters on her hand (see them on the bottom hand on the pointer finger & then on the top hand they are on the middle & ring fingers) & we couldn't figure it out, she had to have shots daily for 3 days & thought it was from the shots.  this was the final day for the shots, they were for ear infections/fluid that has been going on for the past 3-4 months that refuse to clear up, so we asked the nurse about them & she said foot & mouth & confirmed it with checking the bottom of her feet &  inside her mouth, yup they were clearing up so she was in the final stages of f&m & was no longer contagious.  she is good now & no more blisters, yay for public schools giving us things that we would never otherwise come in contact with unless we licked the shopping cart handles.  ;)

later after the dr appt we headed to the movies & were a little early so we stopped at chelseas & had drinks.  momma had a pina colada & daddy had a beer.  :o)  i took off monday & tuesday & we had mommy & daddy time for a couple of days during spring break.  it was awesome & what we definitely needed.

day 73: tues 3/13

after a 1 mth hiatus, i'm crocheting again.  i started on a baby blanket for a friend of mine.  she is doing flamingos & her colors are hot pink, lime green, bright teal & purple.  i'm about 2/3 of the way done to date, it's really slow going...



day 74: wed 3/14

is there such a thing as ornamental weeds?  seriously this thing has been catching my eye for a couple of weeks & i can't seem to not look at it every week when i go to my mil's house.  they actually have a couple of them in their yard & they look like the beginnings of a dandelion but they never get any stems they just look like this.  this is the only weed i would allow in my yard & i have a yard full of unwelcome weeds in my yard at the time & none of them are this neat looking. 

day 75: thur 3/15 no pic today...

 

day 76: fri 3/16

happy st patty's eve!  we had a st patty's themed party at work.  the punch looks a little weird but it's only because we added maraschino cherries & the red muddied the green.  it was super delish!!!  all you need is 7up, lime sherbet, frozen lemonade, frozen limeade & fresh limes & lemons sliced up & added to the concoction.  i'm not lying this is the best punch!!!  the recipe said to add rum but it's not work appropriate so we left it out.  ;o)

this is what the yarn looked like before i went to bed.  it looks really neat the farther you get with it, if you don't mess with it it will stay open for awhile.  i know, random photo...

  

day 77: sat 3/17

this is my antibiotic, it's frickin' HUGE!!!  i started getting headaches on friday right before lunch & they wouldn't go away so i headed over to the walk-in & she diagnosed me with sinusitis.  gotta love stupid allergies & they are not getting better due to all the rain, which we all need, but the stupid mowing is killing me!!! :)



366 days of photos week 8

hope everyone had a great week.  i enjoyed my short work week with pres day off.  gotta love holidays, especially when i get paid to be off.  :o)  {sorry for the delay, i took some pics with my lovely new asus tablet & couldn't get them to work when i tried to edit/add pics on the tablet, if you use the android system for your blogging please tell me how you do it.  it's so frustrating!!!  oh but i love my new toy!  thanks to the hubby :o)}

day 50: sun 2/19


i caught her reading green eggs & ham.  she is really getting good at this whole reading thing.  we can't go to the store or anywhere else where she is asking me what something is that she read on a package.  she will even spell something & ask me what it says & instead of me telling her i ask her to sound it out & almost every time she gets it exactly!  :o)  SUPER PROUD MOMMA MOMENT!!!



it's hard being a kiddo these days so it's always a good time for a nap!  these two are inseparable!  even in nap time they are always snuggled up!

day 51: mon 2/20

it was president's day & i had the day off.  to help keep the littlest one quiet, she went to daycare.  well i also had errands to run & so it was just me & q.  she enjoyed this day sooooo much!  we didn't do much.  we did mostly window shopping in the mall but she was so good that we stopped at claire's & got some earrings.  now i just need to find a good pinterest project for a jewelry holder with an earring tree type holder attached, something that can be mounted on the wall would be ideal.  if you have any ideas, let me know.  :o)

even though her face was blurry in this pic, it's my fave!  she is like this all the time!  she is my funny, happy, sensitive child.  i love her so much!  i will definitely be spending more one on one time with her...

day 52: tues 2/21

this is what they look like every time i go to bed.  either hopper is hogging the bed or they are spooning or even hopper on top of q.  it really struck me funny how q is crossing her arms.  i think she was channeling run dmc!  hopp looks like she is fencing or doing ballet.  :o)

close up of the arms crossed, face not so angry.  :o)

day 53: wed 2/22

we planted peonies two years ago, i think, & they are finally sprouting!  they are so weird looking, that burgundy color i didn't know what they were.  we planted peonies & bleeding hearts at the same time so i googled it & that's what peonies look like when they sprout.  :o)  i have updated pics for you, coming soon, they grow fast!  the girls were so excited & talk about them every time we walk up our front steps.

day 54: thur 2/23

it's that time of year again!!!  dittos came & went already, thank goodness!  this was all i had to sell this year & i think i sold everything!  i did get a few things back, still not for sure why but i gave them to my daycare lady so she can use them for accidents.  :o)  i didn't have clothes markers & this is so helpful when you are sorting & hanging them so you don't have to do it when you get there.  so i made my own.  :o)  all i did was use my index cards, we don't use them anymore, i cut a slit about 2/3 of the way up & then cut a square in the middle & then that's it!  it's so easy-peasy, not for sure i didn't come up with it earlier!  i have been doing this for over 5 or 6 years & i finally got it figured out!  i will be posting tips on how to price & sell your consignment items in case you want to do dittos later.  :o)

day 55: fri 2/24

q is now a neon twister!  she is on the local jump rope team.  she will not be eligible for the regionals team coming up in april but she will get plenty of practice in for next year.  i'm super stoked for her.  she can DOUBLE DUTCH!!!  she can't run in yet but if she gets her jump right on the first one she can dd for quite some time.  :o)

day 56: sat 2/25 no pics this day...  i have plenty for last week though. :o)

halloween stuffs

saturday we went to a friend's house & had a great pumpkin party, it was a lot of fun.  we ate snacks & the kids watched charlie brown's great pumpkin (well sort of, it was more like throwing popcorn around & running around the popcorn)  :o) and when it was over they played & then we did a pumpkin craft.  it was loads of fun & each kiddo got to make 2-3 pumpkins decorated just how they wanted. 

q working on her pumpkins

hopp's pumpkins, i guided just a little bit but she did pretty much all of it.  :)

thanks to pinterest, i have found new ways to do my nails.  i should have used tape so that they would have been more uniform with the glitter polish, but i think it turned out pretty good for my first time.   they aren't black though, they are a deep purple.  i did this on sunday morning while all the girls were gone.


then we went trick-or-treating last night.  we haven't hit up any festivals yet just because they are both so little & they are super busy & i get really worried about big kids pushing (without knowing).  well we did the school thing but it's not as busy as some of the church festivals in town.

here are the butterflies, they were tired, didn't really want to pose, as you can see they aren't really looking at me...

my mil did their makeup & had the wings.  they were so excited & had lots of fun.

wings...

we went to a friends work that had a couple of games & a bouncy castle & then some candy & goodies first.  we then went to a co-workers house & they did a big production with a haunted house in their garage.  was really fun but no one scared us because they were little.  they had this guy in a box, he was really creepy & he moved & that frightened hopp but since i was with her i was able to keep her going.  :)  we then walked down their street & then came home & walked our sad neighborhood.  hardly anyone participates in our hood, i think because a good majority are older people.  but it was perfect for us & then we came home & turned our light on & handed out candy out of the huge bag of candy i bought at sam's yesterday.  it was a perfect night!

i hope everyone had a great halloween as well.  see you tomorrow with my wips.  :o)
