At least I know that she knows

We have this thing we say. We'll say 'guess what?' ...'what?' ...'i love you'...'gasp! i love you too!'. So this evening she's standing a little ways from me, not really doing anything. She loves whispering in my ear lately, so i walk over and lean down and whisper 'guess what?'. She hikes up her shoulder and gives me a brush off look. "I know, i know, i know", she says. "You love me." =)

Morning loves

So I was in the kitchen pouring bowls of ceral this morning and i heard Ab walking over from the living room. I squated down and opened my arms so i could hug her when she came around the corner. She smiled and hugged me saying "I'm sorry I didn't eat my oatmeal yesterday." lol I told her it was ok and lifted her up onto the counter still hugging her.
Ab: "Ummm, your cute"
I leaned back to look at her
Me: "Your cuter."
Ab: "Your cuter."
Me: "Your adorable."
Ab: "Actually, You and me are both cute."
I laughed and squeezed her tight
Ab: "MOM! You are hurting my BONES!"

Things are not always what they seem... (title pirated from M's blog) hehe

So we ran out of milk, so we couldnt have cereal for breakfast. We are only pancakes/waffle, eggs, hashbrowns and toast people on a very rare occasion...unless its for dinner ;) but with no milk, and hungry kids, i busted out the toaster and cinnamon and sugar. A treat they havnt had in a long time. Ab was right there when i opened up that cupboard and she spotted something. Before i knew it, she had set up an "office" right there at the dinner table. "Look mom! Me and Bubba are working on our laptops!" lol it does look like a keyboard with all those squares...good thinkin Ab!

SERIOUSLY dressed himself !

He pulled it off the hanger in the closet, stripped down, and put it on. Abby helped him find the ballet shoes. He did a kinda power ranger dance. ha ha

Wordless Wednesday

Her first day!

She's been waiting for this day for quite some time. She's told everyone who will listen that's she's in school. It is just preschool, but she still gets to take a backpack ;) We signed her up at the Big Red House Preschool. Got the reference from Carly. Its about 5 minutes away.
She picked out her show-n-tell item and packed it in her bag. Picked out what to wear, and how she wanted her hair. We all drove her over, and when we pulled up, she says "Mom, you stay in the car. I can walk up by myself." I almost cried right then! Lucky for me, I needed to drop off the payment for the month, so other than i didnt want to let her go... i had an excuse to follow her in and snap a couple blurry shots lol

She had a fun time. It's 6 girls...hmmm sounds familiar ha ha. And she was very excited to show us here papers from school. D kept hugging her, pull away to look at her or kiss her, then hug her some more :) She has gotten so tall, and grown up. Im so proud of her.

WinCo

Well... I'm still there. I hit my one year Winco anniversary in mid July. I cried. For a few days. Off and on. Our department has recently gone thru some rearranging with Mindy (the number 2 gal) leaving. It opened up a morning shift spot that Zach on my freight crew took 4 days of. When Mindy left completly, i asked to try the other days. Its from 6am to 2:30pm. I figured with me sleeping most of the day, or wanting to...it might be easier to sleep all night, and be home in the afternoon ready to play. It's been ok. I started on the 22nd of Aug just working 3 days a week, since Jb's forex is doing better. Its fun having a new challenge, learn new things, and see the sun! I ate lunch outside my first day :) Plus, its just projects. And we all know how much i love projects!! The thing that's been getting me is A's comments. "Mom, you need to be here. Sleeping." "Mom, I miss you when you are at work." "Where have you been?" ugh. So, I feel like im slowly catching up on my sleep and coming around to feeling more like a human than zombie. Hopefully i can go back being a fun mom and having friends lol. We'll see. Til then... I LOVE SLEEPING AT NIGHT!

Craft Crate

In trying to find space in our house for the furniture we DIDN'T have the first time around, i ended up with part of the office desk in the dining room. It's been a great spot for A's craft stuff and puzzles, my kitchenaid, and a cupboard for hiding things =)

I remembered seeing these Undercover Crates and knew i wanted to make some. I finally bought some fabric a month ago, and finally made them last night(JB gone on the first hunting wed-thurs-fri-sat trip). I love how they turned out... i still need to make the button.

A saw them the next morning. "Mom, those are so cute! I didn't know mom's could make such cute things!!" lol I still need to work on the shelf above the crates.. have a few ideas brewing... next hunting trip ;)
