Sleeping Beauty

After a fun filled morning and afternoon with Aunt Rusty,

and an great evening with some friends at our house,

 we climbed in my bed for storytime.

I took and tucked in Dax first...

who needed to pee, and needed a drink,

and his nightlite fixed, and 12 extra kisses...

I came back to my room to find this beauty...

She's still there...and might be for the night :)

Wordless Wednesday - missing summer already

Swing Makeover!!!!

I cant believe I waited this long to do this project!!

<<<<  BEFORE  >>>>

I know right?!?! Yuck. haha

I remember painting it red at the Meridian house....so 6 years ago...yikes.

And one of the years Renee bought us the back cushions with the intention of recovering them

Long years dealing with the eye sore.....for the long awaited

!!!!<<<< AFTER >>>>!!!!

I love love love the way it turned out.

3 bottles of spray paint

4 yds of clearance gray fabric

bed pillow cut and pillowcased

and VIOLA!!

Its a little light, but it's gonna fade out there anyways...so might as well start out that way haha.

And it only took a couple hours. I could kick myself for not doing it sooner

 

And THIS little helper!!! best $2.50 I've spent in a long time ;) snack on the can and pull the trigger!

The kids have been hanging it out on it almost every night :)

Great project for this project girl ;)

Color Me Rad!!!!

WICKED AWESOME!!! 

5 weeks ago I downloaded an 8 week Couch to 5k running program app on my phone
 with goal of running this race. I stuck to it and was able to run the whole thing!
Not a huge feat cus it's only 3 miles...
but Week 1 Day 1 of the program I was only able to run 53 seconds
and I was ready to give up lol
and today I ran 5k in 32 mins :)!!

(:  Heres Beth and I  :)

 Jb and the kids came and were at the finish line!!!

 

  

Such a great time....really glad I was able to participate

Everyone had a great time and was all smiles

A great first run...i think i might be addicted...

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE

2 days and counting!!

Just picked up our race packets!! Woot Woot!

Bib, shirt, tattoo, and sun glasses haha

WICKED EXCITED!!

nightmares

Abb and Dax watched some show on Netflix...Abb went and showered and started a new episode for bubba and I was in the bedroom doing laundry. Jb said that Dax came over and sat with him and covered his face for some of it. So bedtime comes and I fell asleep reading in bed....when jb came home he woke me up to find this.....

I don't remember him coming in the room...and the new mattress makes the bed higher and a bit of an effort to get onto...so my little man curled up on the floor, with a towel haha and went back to sleep. Just wanted to be near momma ;)

Holy Goodness

Been a little under the weather the last few days ...and the other night jb was gone at a meeting so I just vegged at the comp cus it's kinda in the middle of everything. I got on pintrest cus it's all everyone talks about at work lately...and of course I found some recipes...cus I'm a fat kid. And love to eat :) And who doesn't love a homemade Snickers Bar?!?!?!! That's what I want to know. So after I dropped the kids at work [yes my head is still foggy.] SCHOOL, I made this lovelyness.....

Right?!?!?!?!?! they get melty kinda quick...leaving them in the fridge and snacking from there

Dax is my chocolate lovin boy..."just one more mom? please? with a cherry on top?"

He ate a whole row

Because honestly, who doesn't need a 9x13 size sheet of Snickers sitting in their fridge ;)

We already delivered some to a couple families in the neighborhood

and taking more to work tomorrow...

wicked awesome yumminess

Michelangelo wanna be

Dax has been on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle kick (thank you Larsen fam :) ) So today he brings me some fabric and asks for a mask and belt ... that, I can do

He wanted a shell and thats when Abb decided she needed to be Turtle girl :)

It was the only green fabric he could find and cut his own shell :)

TURTLE POWER!!

Helpers

We've had a great day. Went to church this morning and cleaned house this afternoon. It wasnt too much of a wreck...but needed to be picked up. I made the menu plan for the week and decided to do pizzas today since we didnt last week. I was mixing up the dough and Dax wanted to help...so I let him measure out the flours and then I set him up with his own bowls.

Um... I love bums...these pants are too little and this was AFTER he helped me haha

Abb helping grate the cheese...

I rolled out the crusts while Dax got the pepperoni out 

They got to "decorate", as Abby calls it, their pizza :)

The house smelled really good!
After dinner I was folding some laundry in the bedroom, and asked Abb to unload the dishwasher so I could load it. I came out to check on the kids and Dax was playing playdoh :) (it's been 45 mins now and he's still playing!)

And Abb had LOADED the dishwasher too!!! WOOT WOOT!!

love my kiddos!!

"I wonder about a lots of things"

My beautiful girl... ( the lighting shows off her grey blue left eye :)  )

Driving home tonight Dax fell asleep so Abb and I were chatting...well mostly her :)

Abb: I wonder about a lots of things. Like I wonder why they made crayons. And the letter U. And X. And Y. I wonder why they made buttons, and how they make fabric. I wonder why Brooklynn has bangs. I wonder why there are gas stations. And stop signs. I wonder when I'm going to stop wondering about things. I wonder how many minutes and hours it would take to get to Texas. And around the world. The world. I wonder about it. I wonder why we don't see our neighbors. It makes me feel like we don't have neighbors. We took them treats at Halloween...why don't we see them.

 

She didn't want any answers... my little wonder :)
