The Weekend is Here!

Ok, my dad totally freaked out seeing the pics of Owen's faces while getting the haircut, so I've removed them from here and facebook to appease him! If you missed 'em, too bad! They did remind me a little of Danny in the Shining! That can't be good!
So, I'm boring. Life consists of tv, kids, scrapping, and eating. So that's probably all you'll hear about!
Today had breakfast with Michele T. and Carol B. with baby Fletcher, too! We went to IHOP at my request because of those darn commercials showing the coffee cake pancakes!! If i didn't watch tv so much, I'd never have known about them! I had the lemon blueberry variety, which were delish! I wish I was feeling better so I could have REALLY enjoyed them.
Anyway, another day of feeling crummy... might be all this bad eating and watching tv! but took a snooze on the couch as the kiddos ran amok. Then I altered some clothespins for photos. I decorated them in a dog motif, thinking one or both would be a good gift for my sister for Christmas. Here they are:




They're the Creative Imaginations Bare Elements Diane clothespins, which measure about 4.5"x1ish". I'm hoping that's a good size to hold a 4x6 photo. The papers are from the Die Cuts with a View Pets Stack and the printed ribbons are Marcella by K. Oh, and the paint is Making Memories.
Following craft time, it was lock down time. I helped Rock install new chains and locking doorknobs around the house. We suspect Erik is plotting his escape so we're trying to slow him down a little bit.
Then we ate spaghetti... made at home!! I'm usually the spaghetti cooker, but Rock made it tonight and it was super tasty. Tomorrow morning he's doing something with the Masons and he's pretty nervous. I'm sure he won't sleep much, and I'll look forward to feedback later tomorrow. Well, he's not allowed to talk about it, but I'm sure I'll be able to tell by his face if a goat was involved ;)

Just another day in the life!

Ok, so it's another day of feeling crappy. And Erik slept in my bed for the 1st time since surgery, so didn't sleep well during the night. Made up for it on the couch this morning and until around 1:15pm, yikes!
Finally got up and went with Rock to get haircuts for the boys, who were beyond shaggy. We took the Teddy Bear Owen brought home from school Monday (we have to keep a little journal of his visit with us this week), so I brought the camera to get a photo. I'm glad I had it b/c Owen made the craziest faces at me as he was getting his cut! He was miffed b/c the gal had to comb out tangles before the cut, so he kept making mean faces at me. They cracked me up, so here are a couple:


Erik is going to give us a run for our money, no doubt. This was one of his adventures this evening. Can't keep him out of the fridge and he apparently likes the egg carton. I feel blessed to have a family, but at the same time wonder if I was really meant to be a SAHM.



Tonight for dinner we ordered out, woohoo!! I get so bored eating stuff cooked at home, and Rock is the total opposite. So we ordered from Taco Casa. I was having second thoughts after not feeling well and ordering Mexican! But I loved it!! That's right, I've lived in GVL for 9yrs + 2 yrs, and have never eaten at the Taco Casa that's less than 2 miles from our house! Had a quesadilla, which looked more like a little pizza, and half of a Nachos Supreme, and they were delicious!
Rock's been griping about getting a haircut for some time, and I usually do it at home for him. I've been dragging my feet lately, but finally gave him a cut tonight. I may or not have accidentally given him Vanilla Ice stripes over his ears! yikes!sorry about that ;)

1st Post!

Yippee! My first blog over here! I was blogging on MySpace, but haven't been on much lately. I'm mostly on Facebook now, but as far as I know, there's no spot for my rambling! So here I am.

Had surgery last week so Rock's been home to take care of me. I'm tired of being in the house, so last night he took me to dinner at Quaker Steak & Lube, which is a new eatery here in GVL. We were lucky enough to have it be All You Can Eat Wings night! Woohoo!! I think I ended up eating 18 and Rock did 21. We were both painfully full, but think we sampled most of the flavors. I think I'm a traditional wing girl, so while some of the flavors were tasty, my favorites were the ones that tasted like Buffalo wings. I liked the Hot and the Arizona Ranch, very tasty. A guy at a table diagonal from us ordered the Atomic, and shortly thereafter made a trip to the restroom! He was sweating when he left! He let us smell the leftover wings, since he only ate one. Pretty potent smelling! We also enjoyed the Premium Pretzel appetizer. Love soft pretzels! And the chips were great, too. I feel full again just thinking about it! Look forward to going back and taking the boys because they've got lots of cool automotive stuff as decor, and outside, there's a race car with Toy Story 2 details, and I'm sure they'd love that! And the kids meal comes in a car shaped box :)

Tonight I finished a project for the store. I think it turned out cute! It's a Christmas ornament chipboard minibook, that I may teach as a class at the store where I work. It's made from the Creative Imaginations Bare Elements Matt mini chip book, American Crafts Christmas paper, ribbon, and Rub-Ons; QuicKutz $1 clear stamps, $1 dies, and metro font; some ink, and silver embossing powder. I think that's all : )
