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)

weeknd wrap up

this was a busy but fun weekend.  we went to a 'crazy' & i found a candle holder to make a hat display out of & then we went to big lots, i heard they had a big sale going on because they are moving locations, didn't find much but i did find this dragonfly thingy that i thought i would have to cut it off but after messing with it with my friend christine, we found out that it just UNSCREWED!!!  this will be another hat display.  we are going to do a craft show together.  i'm so excited but super nervous because i've never done one before.

 we went home after the visit with christine & her kiddos & took a nap.  this is how a princess naps, propped up & hands behind your head.  :)

while they were napping i started making these jet packs for the fall fest.  so super easy just takes a little time.  i found them on pinterest but mine are easier & cheaper to make than what she made.  :)

 at the fall fest playing games...

 then it was really quiet yesterday & then we had a tooth pulled & excitement because the tooth fairy is coming!!!  she brought q a dollar & a pack of gum.  :)

i also pinned a buttermilk caramel syrup for pancakes & waffles & made that last night for dinner.  o-m-g!!! it was sooooo good, i would highly suggest you make it.  i don't know what i did wrong but the only thing that didn't work was when i added the baking soda it didn't mix completely so next time i may leave it out.  i wonder why the baking soda is even needed.  anyone have any ideas as to why i would need it?  here's the link.  you should make some ASAP!!!  you won't regret it, well maybe just the calorie content.  :)  oh & the 2 little ones loved it so much they scraped their plates to get every bit of the syrup off the plate into their mouths!  jess thought it was so-so but she is totally wrong!  this syrup is the BOMB!!!!  :o)  i hope you all had a great weekend!!!  see you soon....
