What a lazy weekend!

Actually I have been busy in the cheerio. I am super excited I did some chopping at the Attic Friday and I got my 2008 Calendar for my fridge!!! I already got it done!!! It was one of those projects you just don't want to stop once you start!!! I got the Making Memories blank calendars. I think it's like 15x8 landscaped!!! I am going to put some tape magnets on it and keep it on the fridge! I also updated my ornaments that I made for my cousins. After seeing a picture of them ummm can you say blahhhhhh! So anyways I made them sparkle and I hope once the pictures are in them they will really pop! If anything they will be pretty ornaments for their presents! ha!

Well Johnny and I did get out of the house today for a little bit!! Yeah!!! Kristy I finally got my bracelet!!! I even got one for Frankie's bride to be. I think it is soo her! We went to the Pink Boa!!! Johnny loved the store! He told me, "Mom they really have great stuff in here"!!! I think the cute girls giving him a ton of attention and offering him candy canes & chocolate chip cookies kinda helped! I also got a cute magnet that says "Save the Drama for your Mama"!!! It had a Monkey on it in pink how could I resist!?!?!! I don't think I would have cared what it said!! Then we headed for a haircut for Johnson!!! He is looking like a cutie patootie!!! He was sporting an afro that was out of control!! Then off to Dillons for a couple of things! Now I am home and I am sooooo going to get pictures of my calendar! I used pictures of just the boys. And the Attic had these perfect rubons for all the months and little celebrations for throughput the year! So cute!!
Hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend!!!

Good Morning!!!

I am sooo in the mood for sugar cookies with homemade icing!!!!

Hi All! Well my day started at the crack of dawn (Michelle the real crack of dawn) I was up at 4am with Jaxi. He woke up wet so I had to change him & his sheets and then he went right back to sleep. I ended up getting online and playing on eBay for a bit!!! I went to bed around 5:30am and then I got up at 6:15am to head to the gym!!! I brought Ken his apple cobbler today, I hope he likes it!!! I had an old man follow me into the gym asking me where I was going with it?!?!? too funny! It was still warm when I brought it in so it was really giving off a yummy aroma!!! Considering I got up so early I feel pretty good, oh btw I didn't go to bed until after 1am!! I stayed up and wrapped all our presents for Christmas and even got Johnny's birthday presents wrapped!! That felt good! I ran out of curly bows so I need to go get those and then they will be fully complete! I think I am going to even get my presents that I need to mail out before Christmas! Well looks like I am going to have a busy day today!! Johnny has school today!! I have to meet with some people about the house and pick out some more goods! I need to do some shopping and then I am calling it a good! I think I will scrap the night away!!! I haven't been scrapbooking too much so I have about a hand full of layouts I need to get caught up on!! lol! That just reminded me I need to print some pictures!!! Well now that I have rambled on about pretty much NOTHING!!! I hope everyone has a great day!!!! Happy Friday!!!

I'm still in my jammies!

That's right I am still in my jammies! I love these kind of days. We had nothing to do, no where to be, just home!!! I did do some baking today without the baking part. So I guess technically I did not bake. Are you following this?!?!??!! ha! Anyways I made a apple cobbler for Ken. He is going to be leaving me for bigger adventures in life! I wish him the best of luck! So I made him his favorite apple cobbler! I am going to bake it but not until tomorrow! So it will be fresh out of the oven, make sense? Other than that I went through my scrapbooking goods, put all my layouts that have been forming a pile into albums that they belonged to (some how I ended up with an empty album mmmm), and did some Christmas wrapping! I am actually making my presents look pretty this year! I am doing red & white polka dot wrapping paper and big bows some are black & white some are red & green!!! I will have to take a picture! They are pretty! I love this time of year! Although this year has been strange! I am trying to make the best of it!!! Well I am off to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with the boys!!!

So much for a relaxing do nothing kinda day.....

I just love these pictures of the boys!!!

Look how little Jaxi is and he is already looking up to his brother!

Well yesterday I had plans to stay in my jammies all day and then Kev got a wild hair! He decided to have me go pick out all my tile/granite and carpet. And make the normal FedEx run! Well I was with Dave for 3 hours picking stuff out! It was great and such an easy process!!! he is such a great guy! After that I headed to the Attic to get some Bazzil. Lovely Renee pulled my goods off the shelves so I could pop in & out because I was suppose to be on my way home to make dinner....Thank you girly!!! Well a little detour to the Attic (btw girls the pink x-mas tree in the break room that's Amy's she is going to come get it) never hurts! The house is really starting to come along. The cabinets will be in by Christmas!!! The plummers are putting in the pipes and then we can start sheet rocking!!!!! I got up early this morning got my workout in!!! And I am ready for the day! I went through my MM Magazine and there is the cutest idea for a family tree that is hung on your wall! I think I am going to attempt to make one for my family!
