Jet Plane

Bubby made a "jet plane" today out of rolls of wrapping paper. So creative and inventive.

Christmas Toddler Style

I was decorating the small tree today when I became a part of a photo shoot. Bubby took pictures of the tree decorating. It is so amazing to see the world through the eyes of a 4 year old. He loves taking pictures and capturing the moment. As we looked throught he pictures he was so excited to see his creations. He even said on one of them "Look mom you are in the way". That just tells you that I was not the object of his picture taking...clearly it was the tree.

Mark it Off the Calendar

Hubs and I decided we should have marked yesterday off the calendar. The morning started off my Bubby saying his belly hurt. I hated having to send him to the sitter but had no other choice. Then first period I get an email from the sitter stating it wasn't going to work out her watching the kids. Great!!! So I went ahead and put in for a sub for today (Friday). I would need to find somewhere for them to go starting on Monday. Then the sitter texts me and tells me that Buggers is running a fever. So I arrange for someone to watch my students while I run and get them. They spent the rest of the afternoon with me in my classroom which was a wash for my students. As my drama is going on, hubs is havin and equally if not worse day at work. His best tech got fired, the UHaul truck they transport equipment with broke down, and Murphy's law applied to everything else. He left early to come pick up the kids from the school so I could get ready for my game. Which was a huge disappointment being that we lost by 1 point :( Then a few minutes into the next game I was summoned out to the foyer by another teacher. There was a player from the other team who was struggling to breathe and feeling tingling in her hands and feet. After assessing her, I called 911 and requested an ambulance. Twenty minutes later she was on a stretcher and headed to the hospital. The night didn't end there. Buggers woke up in the middle of the night running a high fever which reached to 104. So today we are at home waiting to take her to the doctor at 1:30. Oh and to solve our problem for the next two weeks I think my mom is going to come stay with us next week then either hubs mom will come back for a week or they will go to waco with my mom. That takes a lot of stress off me and I can spend some time choosing a daycare. Good thing is that yesterday is over and today has given us bright sunshine and a day to catch up around the house.

Christmas Pretties

Long Over Due

Here are some pics of the kids that I have had sitting around. I have been pretty busy lately and have fallen behind on blogging. The kids are growing so fast and have become such wonderful little children. For those of you who are around Buggers alot know what a vivid imagination she has. She has imaginary puppies, rabbits, birds, etc. She wants you to hold them, pet them, and rock them. I think it is adorable and incredible to see her little mind work. However not everyone is a fan of her pretend play...right Dad :) Anyway enjoy some recent pics of our babies and see how much they have grown.

new routine

Well we have joined the rest of the working world and have our babies in childcare. They are in a private home. The lady they are with has two boys also, 4 and 2. It has been quite a change for us. Kids are having to get up early and be away from the house all day which they are not used to. Just hoping they adjust quickly and don't get kicked out before Friday :)

New Look to tired and sad Laundry room...priceless

Cabinets?

We have been blessed with really nice cabinets in our kitchen. For the age of our house they are in excellent condition. However, don't you think they need a makeover? I want to put beadboard on the ends and back of bar area.
Should we paint them and if so what color? Or leave them alone?

Laundry Room Redo

I'm giving my laundry room a makeover. I decided I was tired of the green. I'm painting it the same color as the adjoining living room. I have painted all the accessories black. I think it is going to look really nice when I am finished. I will post after pics soon.

Partying their Pants off!!!

This is a nightly routine here in Paradise. Dancin' with the music as loud as it goes. Shakin' what their momma gave them. Throwing a little remix to mix it up. .





I wonder who they get that from

Pink and Brown

Sunday after church I took Buggers outside for a little photo shoot. She loves posing for the camera. I love these shots of her. It shows her sassy attitude. Her haircut adds to her sassiness.
