Bunko prizes

Paige had Bunko at her house last week so we thought it would be fun to do Valentine's decorations. Of course back in November maybe even October is when we thought it would be fun to make the prizes. Which we do enjoy doing crafty things we really didn't think this one through. Like when will we have time to make them between Christmas, birthdays, New Years, guest visiting from out of town, being out of town oh ya & having a flood at your house:)*that's a whole other post.

We did it all in 1 1/2 days & had a lot of help from our sweet mama! Some of the gifts we bought & added to them because of time. Everyone seemed to like them & now Paige, Bridget & I want to make our own pink chalk boards. Now I can't wait to get all my Valentine's stuff out. I noticed I didn't take a picture of all the prizes-darn it!

Finally!

I finally was able to download my pictures! For some reason it has not let me do it for awhile now. I have been dying to show off this fabulous cup I won at Christmas Bunko at Emily's house. Lovin' my nice dusty desk-hee hee! We started doing a gift exchange after Bunko and it is so fun! Crazymama made this beautiful cup for my yummy Sonic Dr. Peppers and I even won a Dr. Pepper & Diet Coke bonus!! I love homemade gifts. Thanks Julie, I love it!!!! After Christmas maybe I will do a post on the homemade gifts I made this year.

Keeping Cool!

My mom and I took Carter, Kennedi and Presley to the mall for some fun! The girls loved it and Carter was more excited about the food, no surprise there!! I have been so busy lately and have not made time to blog and I really have not had much to blog about, boring I know. I have been cleaning like crazy! Last week I cleaned all my plant shelves. I had to get the big latter out and vacuumed and dusted everything. Also on Friday I was finally taking time to look at blogs and then all of a sudden my screen just goes black! Not good! I think it's just my screen because the computer seems ok- I hope!
What is up with this weather too? Everytime I'm driving it starts raining. I love the rain but last Monday I was driving in the huge storm & it kinda freaked me out. I even had to pull over because I couldn't see-SCARY!
I have Bunko at my house this week so I will be doing all the last minute stuff tomorrow well in between doing hair. I love the long weekends! I hope everyone has a nice break!

I woke up to

Kennedi throwing up all over! She had said my tummy hurts but it was 6a.m. and I had Bunko last night at my house so I didn't get to bed until around 2! You all would be so proud I didn't throw up with her and I only gagged once. Poor little thing! I quickly got her in the bath & started a load of laundry when guess what happened!? Oh yes, Carter! I pick him up to give him a hug when he turns & faces me and throws up all over me! It has not been a fun morning!!! I am very grateful that this is at least happening the day after having Bunko at my house. So, I will be staying home with two sickies and doing a lot of laundry! I seriously wonder when this crud will be leaving our home. I think having the twins in school is not helping.
Yesterday I cleaned most of the day and watched kiddos. And, I have to say I am so lucky I have great friends. I had so many calling just to ask what they could do to help. Thanks girls!! I did get to go vote Paige & I switched off watching each others kiddos. The line was very long but I'm happy I did go! Bunko was a lot of fun and we missed having Angela but it was so fun to get Cara for the night-thanks Tom!
I hope everyone is having a better day then me!
I have been trying to put a picture of the twins on but it's not letting me. They look so silly! Kennedi is in jammies with a tutu on & Carter has his church shirt & shoes on with basketball shorts. Whatever makes them happy!

Good Friends!

Last night I went to Bunko at Stacy's house. Her new home is beautiful and her tree was amazing! The food and treats were yummy like usual! This year for Christmas we did something a little different. After playing as few rounds of Bunko (which I rocked with my positive attitude hee hee! *Courtney will get that one). We played the white elephant game first with good gifts & then again with gag gifts. It was so much fun and great to do something different. I made an advent calendar I got the idea from Teresa Mcfayden's blog . I forgot to take a picture. You girl's sure know how to make a girl feel good! I'm sad I didn't bring my camera so I could show you some of the gag gifts-CRAZY STUFF!

Bunko Night

Two out of three complaining about the Bunko picture is enough for me! I picked that one out of all the rest because I thought all of you looked good. I do understand I hate bad pictures so I removed it just for you guys! We had Bunko last night at Reilly's house. We had yummy food and plenty to talk about. We missed everyone who couldn't come but, we sure had a fun night! It was a late one too. Lindsey helped Reilly get her blog going so I'm very happy about that. It has been so fun catching up with old friends and making new ones. My friend Cara was one of the fun subs we had. Thanks Cara for coming you really mixed well with everyone. I hope you will want to sub again, Paige and I could not stop talking about how cute and fun you are.
Last night we were talking about "lurkers" looking at blogs but not leaving comments. I love comments so if you are reading let me know, I would love to hear from you.
