31 Days of Elf-Capades

Our elves are back! Jingle, Mr. McCorkle, and Mr. Mistletoe have entered the building (or house!).

And they are up to their silly tricks again...and B is loving it already.
We came home today and they had arrived while we were gone.
Apparently, their "ride" from the North Pole was such a long ride, and they
were so excited to come see B, that they forgot to use the potty before they left.
So they left their mark at our house. (check out the tiny footprints on the seat!)
I told them I wasn't very happy with them because:
1. they didn't flush
and
2. they didn't put the seat cover down
(and they had green pee!! what do they eat or drink up there!?!)

Time Flies When You Are Having Fun?!

We moved back to Columbus in July and are doing great! We built a new house and are gradually unpacking boxes to make it feel more like home :)

B is growing like a weed. I went out to the "hunting tent" this evening with him. I put on all the gear and we sat....and sat...and sat...and no company (deer) showed up. But I will say that spending that one on one time with him was priceless. I adore this kid and am so proud of him and how he is growing up. I love to listen to him and how his world is growing, what he is learning, and how in interprets things. God has blessed me with my own angel.

Here's a pic of our little "us" time.

 

 





Valentine's Day Fun

So I have been making lil B's Valentine's in mass production
(I got 100 free cards from Vistaprint).

So the I decided that for his party at school he

WILL need a box to put his Valentine's in right?!

Therefore...let craft time begin.

Empty cereal box = fun!

I took a cereal box, and with a little cut here and tape there...ta da!

 

The Final Product...

I also made more necklaces today, so as soon as they are dry, I'll post more pics.

Have to take advantage of this week. I start my new full time job next Monday!!

day 1 of blogging

Okay, I'm new to the blogging world, so hang in there with me!

It's been a calm Thanksgiving weekend for the most part. Braden was with his dad
the whole weekend. So Chris and I were lazy...and loved it! I worked on my crafts (pictures to follow soon!) and he played his xbox. Well, then Friday night rolled around. I started having lower abdominal pain and back pain. Trying to be as tough as
I can, I finally gave in to go to the ER around 10:30pm. To make the long story short, after bloodwork and a CAT scan was done....there were NO ANSWERS. yep...nothing. So, as I sit here typing this on Monday morning at 2:50am...I am still having the pain, but not as severe. I'll be calling the doctor first thing in the morning.
So hopefully will have some answers asap.

And NO, I'm not pregnant ;0)


Officially started Christmas shopping for Brado. Where oh where are we going to put
ANYTHING that he gets? Going to need a storage unit just for his toys! ha!

Well, I think tiredness is finally setting in.
Hoping and praying everyone has a great start to their week.

God Bless.
