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.  :)

 day 272: 10/01 mon

shotglass from my friend rob!  that makes about 30 or so shotglasses in our collection.  :)

day 274: 10/03 wed


franky got a head full of pumpkins!  those things are so addictive!!



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?!?! 

father's day gifts 2011

i couldn't decide what i was going to get all the dad's for father's day.  mike, the FIL, is super easy!  anything comic book characters or spurs hats are automatic pleasers when it comes to him.  so i went to hat world & got him this hat.

mike's new hat

so then the hard part was what do i get my dad?  he use to be easy as well, we always got him fire fighter paraphernalia but he's not a fire fighter anymore so i try to stay away from that.  i know the LOVES his margaritas so i wanted to find him something margarita related.  um, have any of you tried to find "manly" margarita stuff?  it's almost impossible to find!  but i came across this jewel & knew it was perfect!  i hope he thinks of me every afternoon when he pours that margarita & dusts the rim.  :)

how cool is this?!?

so then came the worst part!  what do i get the man that has given me 2 beautiful girls?  seriously he's hard to buy for.  he never wants to hint at what he wants because that's like ruining a surprise so i have to get all creative with him.  i saw a post on a website i go to often & she was talking about a mouse pad with her kids on it from vistaprint, so i headed over there & was just about to order the mouse pad with the below pic & then remembered, we don't have a mouse pad, we have a wireless mouse & you don't really need one for them.  so i looked at some other stuff & then came across the pens.  i knew that's what i would get him.  he uses pens all the time to jot stuff down about customers problems so he can refer to them later.  it showed up yesterday, my fault on timing but they are so cute & i got to pick the little wording on the pens.  i love this pic of hopp cheesin' & q huggin' her tight.

i hope everyone enjoyed their father's day!
