A Weekend of Crazy

Image
By
On the scale of one to chaotic, this past weekend inched closer to chaotic than I would have preferred.  It was super busy with some interesting occurrences.  I woke up this morning exhausted.  At least a lot of our busy activities were fun. Here's the weekend update...

  • Friday morning: We woke up to one car in our car port.  We generally have two.  Unfortunately, Danny's car was stolen.  Not a happy thing to wake up to at all.  We called the cops and the insurance company and then figured out how to get through our schedule with one car.
  • Friday night/Saturday morning, 1am: We got a call from the police and they had found our car! Yay!  They told us we had to go get it then.  So off we went in our pajamas to pick up our long lost car.  
  • Saturday morning: Got up and cleaned the house.
  • Saturday afternoon: Had a party with the girls in our primary class.  The kiddos in our class earn parties if they are reverent.  We played games and made cookies.  Making cookies with 3 little girls was an adventure in itself.  We triple the amount of chocolate chips, which they thought was the best thing ever.  I believe the chocolate to cookie ratio should at least be 2 to 1.
  • Saturday late afternoon:  Re-cleaned our house.
  • Saturday evening:  Dinner party at our friend, Rachel's house.  Good food and good conversation.
  • Sunday morning:  Church and teaching primary.
  • Sunday afternoon:  We watched our 5 nephews at our house while my brother and his wife went and visited their new niece in the hospital.
Popcorn, Star Wars and a big table everyone fits on.  We are the best babysitters.

Baby!!
  • Sunday late afternoon:  Re-cleaned our house.
  • Sunday evening:  Dinner at Danny's sister's house and played with her kids.
Cute Little Lady Lu.

    I'm so glad you got your car back, even if Danny isn't. I love the pictures of baby and cute Lucy.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

8 Months!

By
Smiling at Daddy Showing Mr. Lion who's boss. Milestones: New food this month: Carrots, Peas, Oatmeal, Prunes, Green beans, Squash He's really interested in making different noises and sounds with his mouth. I feel like he is watching us intently trying to figure it out. ("It" meaning talking.) He hasn't started to crawl yet, but he has gotten up on all fours. He finally rolled from his back to his stomach. He's been rolling the other way for months now. He doesn't like being on his stomach, so he avoided rolling to that position for a really long time. First St. Patrick's Day, because that's a big deal. Likes: At the beginning of the month, he liked to grab my face and bring it really close to his and yell. Apparently, it is a fun game. His favorite toys are his toy guitar from his Aunt Michele, his toy car from his Aunt Katie and Uncle Tim and he really likes his stackable rings. The vacuum. It is a fascinating specime...
