Check it out.....

OK so I know I am totally crazy, but yep I'm OK with that. I have started a new blog, check it out here. I found these really cute head bands that everyone is totally loving because you put them in and they stay in!! But they were very expensive, so I checked them out made some and thought I would try my hand at selling them for a fraction of what they were selling them for!! Also the beloved flowers, I havent loaded them on yet but that is my plan for tomorrow. But keep checking back because I'm going to have a giveaway on the other blog too!! So check it out and let me know what you think, any thoughts or ideas are always welcome!!

I did it!!

After much debate, and fighting with myself, I went today and signed up for the St.George Marathon!!
It was a lot harder this year, when we did it in 2007, there was 4 of us, most of us doing it for the first time. We all met there to turn our papers in together (I think it was to make sure we would all sign up and not chicken out!!) We celebrated, we got lunch, took our little ones to the park!! Oh and we signed up on the first day of registration!!
Not this year, Randy took me over, its the last day to register, and I'm the only one stupid enough to sign up. Oh well, I feel like I have something to prove to myself!! Hopefully I can do that, who knows!!

How hard.....................

is it to burn down a house???? Hmmmm, should you ever leave your kitchen when you have the burner on?? Should you always know where two devilish boys are at ALL times?? (OK that ones easy)
I was going to be going to dinner with my friends Wednesday night so I thought I would eat some WW 0 point soup for lunch. So I pull out my can, dump it in the pan, light the stove (yep, gas), well I left Makenna down stairs, so I went to check on her,she had dumped out a couple things in my scrap book room so I was cleaning it up and all of a sudden the fire alarm goes off, so I run up the stairs to find a pot holder on fire next to my soup, well a drawer is also right there with all the rest of the pot holders so the pot holders in the drawer have now started on fire. The fridge is also right there and of course it is adorned with all kinds of papers, so of course a couple of those were on fire. I really don't think I stopped to think, I pulled the papers off the fridge threw them in the sink, dumped water in the drawer, threw pot holders in the sink, one fell on the floor, dumped water on it, needless to say got the fire out, was a bit shaken, when I hear my wonderful little Jayden in the back yard yelling at the top of his lungs, "FIRE TRUCK, COME TO OUR HOUSE" over and over and over again!! So I laughed, wanted to murder me a couple of boys, but I laughed!!
I'm trying hard not to think of the what if this or what if that, cause I would make myself go crazy thinking of all the things I did wrong in that situation, thank goodness its over!!

Look


I am so excited about this little skirt. I have seen them on line and I have seen photographers use them in pictures, so of course I had to have one. Well I googled them for hours trying to find them well I found them alright, for $70-100. Crazy I thought I cant pay that. Well in my search a pattern on Martha Stewart.com came up. I took one look at it and thought there is no way I can make that little jewel. It looked so stinkin hard. Well you that
know me, well yeah, got it in my head and thought why not try, your out $20 bucks. Well, trying to find the fabric was a joke nobody new the difference between polyester and nylon which was what the pattern called for. So I bought it, and after I had it almost all the way cut, I was looking at the comments on the pattern and it said, "DON'T BUY POLYESTER!!" oops, the nylon doesn't run poly does so its a mess!! So Ben Franklin had a nylon tricot, that's what I bought and here is my cute skirt, yep very proud, now I want to make one for all my girls for a picture together!!

Funny

I took the boys summer stuff out of the attic yesterday, and as I was going through it Jayden asks if he can wear a pair of shorts, to go play outside. Sure one less thing to wash right away right?? So the kids come home from school and Jayden says to Merissa, "look what I got out of the garbage bag Merissa, and Mom didn't even have to wash them first I just get to wear them out of the garbage"!! Nice Mom aren't I?? Oh my gosh I laughed so hard, what else do we have kids for, entertainment of course!! LOL

Loving

OK so I bought a new straightener, (did I even spell that right) a salon quality one, and oh my gosh I think it took me all of 10-15 minutes to do both girls hair which includes putting ribbon in too!! It was just so slick, and I even only had the heat turned half way, (Yeah I was a little freaked about frying their hair).
I also got my Gymboree order yesterday, I had gotten gym buck at our outlet store, and of course you cant use those at the outlet and since we don't have a regular store here I had to shop online. So I went online, got on their clearance, they had a line called butterfly, if any of you know me you know how I feel about butterflies (don't you say a word Sarah) so I found so so much cute stuff, I only had 1 gym buck but I got 4 shirts a dress a cute onsie dress thing denim shorts and a pair of socks, I added up all the prices on the tags $160. I spent $ 60 with shipping!! So cute, and the girls were just as excited as me, so they already want her to wear it so I'll take a few pictures!!
