sharing

I love to see this, my actual hard work as a momma is paying off. I love to watch Will be a big brother and do his part to help Aubrey... seconds later he quickly pulled away the popsicle and Aubrey had a fit. But I captured something lovely, it's true what they say that pictures never tell the whole story.
So I'm bored and I thought that I would do a random blog just to type. I can never fall asleep early (or at all for that matter) when Andy is on night shifts, so I choose tonight to write. I AM tired, but just can't sleep. We have been having quite the eventful couple of days at our house. Aubrey got sick, her very first real pukey sick. She threw up 11 times in one hour. I love laundry, whenever I do it I am so thankful for washers and dryers, just think of how people used to do their washing...brutal.
Whatelse...Today I got my bangs trimmed and I FINALLY started working out again, I don't know why I didn't start sooner, it makes you feel so good! I don't know what spurred on this sudden urge, I think it was because I tried on my grad dress and couldn't zip that baby up...UGH! But I am excited to be visiting with my good friend Sharon Mann every morning now. I love my workout video to death. There is only one thing that bugs me about it and it is this, there is always one guy participating in the workouts, his name is Bruce, and Sharon Mann is always so googley-eyed over him, she talks all about him all the time, about his kids and how he can make his technique better, pretty much picks on this man. She also talks about how HOT he is and I'm sorry to say that he is NOT. Poor Bruce and your tight in all the wrong places spandex. ( I hope he doesn't read this...)

cute-sy

There are 2 things that I LOVE alot.

#1. Is "cute-sifying" my kids.
#2. Is "cute-sifying" my home.

I did both in the last week, proud of me?


Here are my "cute-sifyed" Will and Aubrey getting ready to go skating.
and here is the baby lady by herself, being extra cute-sy.
Here is a before of the innards of my drawers in the kitchen
and here is the "cute-sifyed" version of them now. I love contact paper. It has become my new friend.

before and after



I DID IT!!! I went with everyone's kind suggestions and changed to brown! I'm so glad that I did! What do you think now? Hopefully you like it, I'm NOT painting that wall ever again.
The green has been moved to a new wall in our kitchen, I like it there much better.

happy halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!!
Here are a few pics from our spooky day...




We all had alot of fun! Andy actually didn't have to work (hallelujah)! We took the kids around to Grandpa Wood's, Grandpa Earl and Connie's, Granny Myra's, Inga and Aaron's, Grandma D's and then out to Grandpa Ricky and Grandma Dixie's house!! What a trip! Then we ordered some pizzas, went and picked them up and went home to wait for our own trick-or-treaters. Some finally arrived and what proceeded was probably Wills most terrifying moment of his life as of yet... At the door there was a couple boys and they were all dressed in scary costumes and all had masks on. Will opened the door and started SCREAMING and BAWLING!!! He kept saying, " I WANT MY MOMMA!!!!" He was super scared! Poor guy! But right after they left and we got him calmed down, of course, he was acting all tough. I am getting myself prepared for a sleepless night, there is no question Will is going to have bad dreams tonight!

accomplishments

It looks like today is off to a great start! I sent the kids downstairs to play while I was eating breakfast and came down to witness this...

WHAT?!?! How did she do that?! Either Andy or I must have monkey genes!! Probably Andrew. Hehehe!!!!

Okay so here is MY accomplishment....
I actually hung some shelves!! I am empowered, I totally rock!! Just call me "handy".
So I need some feed back here, once I hung this shelf up I realized that I don't really LOVE the green wall anymore and I just want to paint it a really dark dark brown instead. What do you think? Keep the green or do the brown?
