Weekly update!

I know...I know, I haven't had a post in awhile but I thought the craziness would calm down a bit. Our daily routine consist of: Up at 5:45am, coffee, check and respond to emails, tweets, facebook, pick up the house from the night before, start laundry, peel the kids out of bed at 7:15am and start breakfast, school until 11:40am, lunch, more school until whenever I get finished, more cleaning up, work on orders for about 2-3 hours, then guess what...Time to start dinner(supper). Squeeze in a few temper tantrums, fights, boo-boos, phone calls, more laundry and a couple of spilled drinks after I had just mopped the kitchen floor and Whaalaa, you have my day. Keep me on my toes!
I have had alot going on so I will let the pictures tell the story.

1.) I made homemade biscuits for the first time in FOREVER..YEAH! 2.)Working on new items for my etsy shop that is opening soon! I love cute bibs!

3.) Crocheted these cuties...(alot of em')
4.) Working on a project involving this...

5.) Making alot of these babies...


6.) And finally trying to understand why men around here buy lots of expensive camo, sprays, and deer stands that they have to sit in the freezing cold weather and not move a muscle only NOT to see what I see out of kitchen window almost EVERY morning and evening..HEHE!

Picture taken on my back porch with my hot pink pajama pants and white t- shirt on ,while yelling at the kids to look at this big buck in our yard......POINT MADE!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Trick and Treatin'

I really can't believe it is November!

Halloween has come and gone and we are looking Thanksgiving head-on...

Anyway, we had a great weekend full of Weenie Roasts and Trick or Treating. It will be hard waking the kids up for school after a wide open night of running up and down streets on sugar highs. I also finished a very cool crochet cap for Sailor this weekend too. I got the pattern from Polka Dot Posh on etsy. I think it turned put pretty cute considering I re-did it about 4 times..

Then it was time for dress-up...





FINAL DECISIONS

A Get-Away and please get away!


So the husband and I decided to take a vaca for our 10 year anniversary . 10 years is a milestone and we intended to celebrate! We had a nice 24 hour trip to Savannah, GA because that's how we roll. Short trips are usually better because you HAVE to see and do as much as you can in a short amount of time, You appreciate things more, you don't spend as much money and you don't wear your babysitter out too much.



Savannah is lovely and they love them some Paula Deen. Yes, we ate at her restaurant (The Lady and Sons)at 9:30pm Friday night because we had no kids with us and we could eat as late as we wanted and what we wanted. YEAH!! It was delish!


Saturday, we took a trolley tour of the city and did alittle shopping and more eating. Then it was back in the plane and heading home. We were glad to see the kids and I think my mom was glad to see us. She gladly watched the kids while we were gone but again we didn't want to wear anybody out by leaving them too long. We know our limits!!!



Sunday afternoon we decided to go a local non-pumpkin patch- pumpkin patch. No typo, it really was a pumpkin patch with no pumpkins planted. There were a few activities for the kids


and adults (HUMMM,HUMM)


but the excitement of the afternoon was when Sailor(my daughter) stole my camera and HARASSED the sweet, young, childless, unmarried couple in front of us on the hayride. I had no idea she had taken these pictures until I down loaded them. I wondered why he so graciously asked if he could hold my camera to take our picture. Poor couple...

I think there were at least 547 pictures of them on my camera and I have no idea who they are.
If you are the couple and you are reading this..I am so very SORRY! If you know this couple...please tell them , I am so very SORRY. HAHA! I can't help but laugh because they were really nice and cute!

Thank you sir for the sweet picture of the brat Sailor and me!!!:)
