LL my neice!

isn't she beautiful?

She is the one going to Ole Miss in the Fall

Clothes, Clothes, Everywhere!

Why is it I have nothing to wear but SOOO many clothes that my closet looks like it threw up?

I read about a great idea to part with clothes that you haven't worn in 6 months

The rule is to hang your clothes with the hangers facing the wrong way. After you wear an item, hang it up the right way. After 6 months, whatever is still hanging the wrong direction, get rid of it! Sound good to me. I'm going to try it.

TIP: It will help you out when you can't quite remember: Did I wear that top just last week?

THEN... I think we should have a clothes swap! We could all meet and trade out clothes. Just because I don't wear it, doesn't mean you won't! ( I think this stems from me loving to borrow clothes in high school)

Maybe I blocked it out but I don't remember going "back and forth" with my friends in 2nd grade...so surley not in kindergarten...

KE told me today that the boys said something kind of funny but also not good and "they didn't even get in trouble!" ( with her eyes wide open)

"Boys go to college to get more knowledge
Girls go to Jupiter to get more ________ " ( can you guess it?)

(You see, stupid is a bad word in our house)

Then she looks to me to say something.........

hmmmmmmm

I told her the next time they say that to be sure and let those boys know there is no such word as stupider.


W asks me now, Can I have my papi? (knowing it's strictly for bedtime) with this cheesy grin on his sweet face. I DREAD the day and nights of no more papi. Don't ask me if I let him have it.

N is still almost walking. I think he can just crawl so much faster...why waste so much time? T tells people that he is in his drunken stupor days....or something like that.

He can say: Mama, Dada, Juice, Cracker, Sissy, Wade, Night-Night, Dora (ha!), Papaw, Mimi, Book, More, Ball, Jesse ( esse), Lindsay (insey), LaLa, oh and his favorite...EAT! Not too bad for 16 months. Oh and he sings the tune to Veggie Tales If- you- like- to- talk- to -tomatoes........ His version.. Eh-Ooh-I-Ooh-Ahh.....so sweet

After seeing Torrey off, I cooked supper and I gave the kids thier bath. The boys are on antibiotics for sinus infections. Nathan was especially fussy tonight. He never has a problem going to bed. Of course tonight he screamed bloody murder all 4 times I tried putting him down. The last time I said to myself.. okay, I will give him 15 minutes.... about 7 minutes later...BLUAH

Yep, he cried so hard he threw up. Soooo, I put him in my bed and after 20 minutes of flopping, he finally gave it up.. Oh I hope this is just because he is sick and not because he wants to upgrade to a King!

oh and by the way. when nathan was crying, W was telling him that it was okay. Don't cry N! (Oh they are going to be so close)

H is for....

Seeing Spots!

I'm done! This was actually therapy for me. I forget how much I love to do stuff like this but just don't have the time. KE loves it! The design of her bedroom was inspired by an episode of Divine Design... one of my favorite shows.

My Latest Project

This is a dresser I had as a little girl. I also used it as a bachelorette and did this fabulous faux finish.

KE is now the proud owner and she wants it PINK! I will post after pics as soon as it dries and I get it back into her bedroom.

Self Confessed Blog Stalker

Some people's days aren't complete unless they have their coffee, some unless they exercise ( yeah.. that's me!) or some unless they vacuum 3 times. Well, I have become a blog-stalker.
My computer is turned on at dawn and isn't shut down until the wee hours. ( No, I'm not on it the entire time, even though Torrey would say otherwise) Do any of you have this "problem?"

Personally, I don't see it as a problem... I see it as an outlet. I even reward my self with the computer instead of chocolate (That's how much I love it) after I have completed a daily chore. I love to read others' posts to find out the latest products, words of wisdom and other facts. I'm really admiring those that have witty names too! I want a cute and witty name for my blog! As much as I'm on the computer, my hubby might label me slacker mama (NOT) but that one is taken.

I've thought of a few but I'm still not so sure. I wouldn't want to sound conceited. Those of you that know me ( and those that may not) any suggestions? I know you read because I have hundreds of hits a week! ( installed that nifty counter at the bottom of my page this past Sunday) That is alot to little ole me........

I have been posting like a mad woman ever since I discovered that you can make your blog into a book. This has officially replaced Creative Memories for me.. seeing as I haven't done an album in 2 years. I have also realized that we hardly ever take grown-up pics so that is going to change as well.

Happy Blogging!
