Sunday.........

Well today has been an uneventful day.


Kami is STILL not crawling. But she sure can army crawl to whatever she wants to get to. She is so funny. She will find my shoes on the floor and make a bee line for it. I let her get to them then I take them away before she can chew on them. You should see the look she gives me. Then she sees my laptop and makes a bee line for it. She loves to close it or play on it. So if you ever get an IM or an email from me that's just a bunch of letters Kami sent it to ya! ;)


I went to the store earlier tonight and when I got home Greg tells me Kathryn found the DEAD mouse! Yes I said DEAD!! Eeeewwwwwww!!!!!! I at first thought Kathryn was playing the other day because when I went in to find the mouse it wasn't under the bed, so I thought she was just seeing things. I guess I was wrong!!


Let's hope tomorrow is going to be an uneventful day too!


Peace, Love and Becky

Eeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk

OK So we have had mice in the attic for a while now. They also have been living in the garage. I have been threatening to let the cats out in the garage but never have. Well, this morning I get woken up to Kathryn saying: 'Ace {our cat} has a mouse and he's under our bed!!' EEeeeeekkkkk!!!!! So now I have Ace under my bed with a mouse. Yeah I'm not going to get it. I'm gunna let Greg get it when he gets home. So I guess we are heading to Lowe's to get mice traps. What a GREAT way to wake up!!!

Stuffed!

Yes I am posting another blog! hahaha. We just got back from left overs at my parents house! I am stuffed!


Thanksgiving was GREAT! Got to spend the whole day with my family. Greg let me sleep in {do a little dance} till around 8 {ok not really dancing anymore haha} Ate dinner at my parents. We got kicked to the little kids table because there were to many people to sit in the dining room. Kami of coarse was the star of the night. She was showing off how she crawls, army style.


Got my Christmas Tree up today! Kathryn helped me {well a little bit} Now just to get the rest of the house done. I want to hand make some Christmas crafts but I really don't even know where to start! I am looking online for some great ideas, but haven't really found anything that I am just in love with.



Ok I put Kami down about a hour ago. I sitting here typing away and I hear her talk. I go in there and she gives me the biggest smile! I tell her she is supposed to be sleeping and she just smiles at me again! I take her into see Greg and she smiles at him! I guess she's not tired tonight and is going to stay up with me. {I think not!!!} So I found her her blanket, feed her a bottle and laid her back in bed. I think she is finally asleep.



Here are some Thanksgiving Pictures of the girls!




Kathryn showing off her bruise she got at grandma's house. You can't really see it but she fell off grandma bed and hit her nightstand. It bruised immediately!

Happy Turkey Day!!!

I am wishing all my friends, family and fellow blogger's a Happy Thanksgiving!


What am I thankful for?? {In no specific order}

1) My family, what would I do without them?!?!

2) My friends, I love them ALL so much!

3) My computer, what would I do without it?

4) My job, yes it might be a pain sometimes but it's my 'get away' sometimes.

5) Kathryn every time she comes in and tells me she loves me and gives me a BIG kiss and hug.

6) Kamryn every time she looks at me with those big blue eyes and smiles.

7) Greg every time he kisses me bye and tells me he loves me every time we get off the phone.

8) Scrapbooks, I love it when Kathryn gets her scrapbook out and looks through it.


Peace, Love and Turkey's!!!

Wonderful Wednesday

Let's see. Before work this morning I had to take Kami to her 6 month check up.{See Kami's blog for an update on her} Then when I got to work I did the assistant director thing. I am so good at making enemy's when I work 'up front'. People were saying that they had to go home. Ummm NO you don't. Lolita said it was up to ME if you could go home early. I had TWO tours back to back. I had to make the second tour wait until I was through with the first one. I was thinking it was the day before Thanksgiving it's going to be an easy day. BOY WAS I WRONG!! The phone rang off the hook. The only really good thing that happened today was Lolita clocked me in at 9 instead of at 11 when I got there and Lucia came in to close so I got to go home early!! Now I am sitting here waisting time before I go to Walmart. I know it's going to be PACKED. I think I might just go to Target. Who knows. I can't wait until tomorrow!!

I'm Walking On Sunshine!!

Monday.......hmmmm nothing really much to say about Monday. Went to Target tonight and of coarse spent way to much. The really only good thing about today is at work we can now wear jeans everyday instead of just on Friday's!!


I can't believe that Christmas is 30days away!! This year has just seemed to FLY by! I can't wait to start decorating. This is really the only holiday I decorate for. I guess that's what I will be doing on Friday.


Here's my Manic Monday #143 ~


Do you ever talk to yourself out loud? I try not too. I try to keep it in my head.


What do you talk about? Anything that has been going on with work, family or friends.

What stresses you out? What doesn't lately. Money, life, work you name it and it probably stresses me out.

What are your secret talents? I don't really think I have any. I'll get back to you on this one.


Peace Love and CandyCanes.

Bored....

Well I just got through with sweeping and mopping my living room floor. Let me tell ya that was fun! Hahaha. Now I am doing laundry catching up on my TiVo and just trying to be LAZY. I had a great jewelry party last night! Thanks to everyone that came. I got my mom a necklace, me one, and Kathryn a necklace and bracelet for Christmas. Speaking of Christmas I think I am going to get the girls a round chair from Pottery Barn Kids to match their rooms.






I have NO CLUE what else to get them. I know it's going to be a small Christmas this year. I think we are really just going to do Santa for the girls. They will get plenty of things from everyone else. I wish we could do more but as everyone knows money is tight. I hate not being able to do things because of no money but hopefully it will get better one of these days.

Jumped On The Band Wagon

Ok I finally gave into temptation! I joined a blog. Not to sure what to do yet, but I will get the hang of it.

Today has been a pretty good day. We got up this morning, got dressed, then went to a potluck with my MiM girls.

Kathryn is a MESS! She will be in my room watching TV then a commercial will come on and she will run in here and ask if she can have whatever toy they are talking about. I tell her yes she can she says 'THANKS MOM!' and runs back the to room. Then the cycle begins again.

Kamryn is getting to big. She is 6 months today {fighting back tears} I can't believe that she is already 6 months old. Kami is trying to crawl also. She was just getting up on her elbows and knees and rocking but now she is getting up on her hands and knees. It's not going to be long before she takes off. She is already ALL OVER the place. I can't even imagine what it is going to be like when she crawls. I guess I need to get the baby gate back out.

Greg and I were just talking about how when Kathryn was born we, well I, wanted a name that we could a have nick name with. So that's one reason we choose Kathryn. Well we NEVER call her Kat. NEVER. Now Kamryn on the other hand, we never even said anything about a nick name, well we only call her Kami. How odd is that. We wanted a nick name for Kathryn and never called her by one and for Kami never said anything about one and only call her be her nick name.

Well my blogging is over for now. Kami just woke up. As one of my friends says: Peace, Love and Candy Canes.
