Playing catch up

Well I have had a completely eventful week! Really... A LOT has been going on. I have wanted to blog about 3 times a day... however.. when evening falls, the kids are in bed, and I have time to blog...I am to stinking tired to care!!!! LOL

So... you get a slide show to catch you up instead. We painted our pumpkins for the year and I put up some pictures of those. I bough both the kids new Sunday outfits for the coming season. On Sunday they both were dressed up and cuter than ever so I took a bunch of pictures of them. When I was outside with Braden I told him "Show me your handsome!" and he stuck his tongue out at me! (does anyone else have trouble remembering how to spell tongue or is it just me!??) Since Amalyssa had a sparkly new dress and new shoes she let me do her hair up special! Isn't it cool!!! I was pretty happy with how it turned out! Kieran thought it looked much harder than it was. I got it off this great hair blog that I love! I need to put it up on my side bar... but not tonight!

Hope you like the pictures. Sorry that I am to tired to tell you all about my crazy day on Monday selling the piano, or about the lady that skanked me in Arctic Circle, or about my crazy spending spree at Hobby Lobby today (though I will say... stuff does not make you happy... but it sure put a smile on my face today!).

I will tell you quick about Amalyssa's prayer Monday night.... then I am off to bed. On Monday I posted our piano for sale on KSL... well.. it was a hot item.. I was on the phone ALL STINKING DAY!!!!!! I apologized to Amalyssa several times that I couldn't play with her or even give her attention. I hardly stole a minute to microwave some lunch for the poor kids! That evening at dinner Scott asked her to say the prayer. In her prayer she said "and please bless mom that she will stop being on the phone so much to sell the piano and that she will be able to play with me." It was so sweet!!! Her prayer was answered too, sold the piano the next day... NO MORE PHONE CALLS! YAY!

Ok... and now to the photos! Enjoy!

Scrapbook page!

Do you remember like 2 post's ago I said "and there is a scrapbook page that goes here, but you will have to wait for it." REMEMBER?? I am sure you are all just dying to see the page! LOL. Well worry not, the page is done and here it is!

Story: While Victoria and I were window shopping with the kids at Gardner Village we saw these necklaces! These were all the rage when we where in grade school. Seeing them again was like entering some strange time warp! We had a good laugh over it and took pictures so we could blog to the world about our nostalgia. I almost bough one just for old times sake.... then I realized that it was a silly waste of money... which I didn't have... So I settled for pictures.



The side journaling says-

You know you're old when...

you use the term "blast from the past."

you tell your kids "I had this when I was your age."

you see something and say "I haven't seen these forever!"

you want to buy expensive 'junk' because it makes you feel young.

you finally understand what your mom meant when she said "it's a waste of money."

Hope you get a good laugh out of this! I know I did!

(WHOA!! Marie just read this post and she said that the striped paper on the side of the page reminds her of some outfits mom made us when we were about the same age that we had these necklaces!!! NO WAY... it TOTALLY does!!! Maybe I picked that paper because of some hidden memory! I can totally see a picture of us both in our striped outfits with our plastic chain necklaces on! Does such a photo really exist??? MOM- if it does... SEND IT TO ME PLEASE! I can see a 2 page LO coming!)

I feel so loved!!!!

Ok, So I just have to tell you how loved I feel right now! My hubby comes home the other day and tells me he won a $100 gift certificate to Kohl's from a radio station drawing! SWEET! Then he tells me he is going to let me spend it! EVEN BETTER! So today I have to go pick it up from the station. Scott forwarded me the e-mail telling him that he had won and where to pick it up at. In this e-mail it says "Thanks for the sweet e-mail. How about this as a prize for your wife's first kiss? $100 to Kohl's" So I read this and think....My first kiss??? What does THAT have to do with a random drawing!!??? (p.s. my first kiss was with my sweet hubby) So I start bugging Scott about what the lady was talking about. He gets all shy and won't tell me!!!!! Finally he is bright red and he tells me that they were having a debate during the morning show on whether or not high schoolers should kiss around or wait for their first kiss to be truly special. Scott wrote in to them and told them that I had kept my first kiss special and given it to him and how much it had meant to him!

AAAWWWWWWWW...................

Then I was like "was that really so hard to tell me?" And he says.. "yes... my face is boiling.. now go away and let me sleep!" ROTFL! He is SOOO CUTE!!! It embarased him to tell me our first kiss was special to him! What a silly boy! (he dosn't share his feelings easily!)

So yeah... anyway.... I am feeling super loved right now! And I have 100$ to go spend at Kohl's! WOO HOO! (Scott is going to really be embarrassed if he finds out I put this up on my blog! lol... but hey... I am enjoying the loved feeling!)
