Wednesday's Whatevers

Today I spent a good amount of time trying to finish up my dress that I'm wearing on Saturday for the wool competition and the 24th to the symphony with Michael. It is made out of the same fabric as the lining of my coat entered in the wool contest. A weird grayish/purple/silky/crepey fabric. I'm HOPING that it fits me! If it does, I think I'll just squeeze in! I've had a hard time staying on my diet. Been "good" for over a week now but I haven't lost as much as I had wanted to by this time. Oh well:) Anyways, I'm going to keep plugging away at the dress tonight and hopefully get it done. I don't want to be up all night on Friday working on it....




P.S. Michael comes home tomorrow night!!!

10 things about me...

You always wanted to know. Well, maybe NOT, but I'm gonna' tell you anyways!

1) I was homeschooled in the 90's. Back before it was popular and all...

2) Me and Michael were engaged when I was 15.......almost 16.

3) I dressed up as a she-devil the last halloween we celebrated. (eww, huh!)

4) I never imagined I'd have 5 kids. I told Michael he'd be lucky if I had two! (needlephobia!)

5) I can make soap....from scratch.

6) I won first place in the wool contest coming up on Saturday. I know already because I'm the only one that entered my division LOL.

7) My favorite, absolute FAVORITE, none even comes CLOSE favorite color is purple. Any purple!

8) I wanna' own a potbellied pig someday named Maggie.

9) I vowed to NEVER live in the desert. I loathed and truly hated it back when. I have moved to AZ twice and I'm on my way to finally settle our family down in NM. Go figure!

10) (This is really harder than it looks. You should try it and leave me a comment....) Umm, I bite my nails! I try to quit and can usually last a good 3 months or so but fall off the wagon!

Help!

Ok, I've got 1 vote Seahawks theme, 1 vote Full House theme....need to break this tie!

Christmas shopping...need your help!

I was at a loss as to what to get Michael for Christmas. I can't afford what he REALLY wants which is an X-Box 360 or whatever it's called....I've been reading Dawn's blog and I really got a kick out of her "Little Old Woman in the Shoe" drawing for her blog. I looked down at the bottom and found a link to Rick Green who drew it for her. I'm thinking that I'll get a pic done for Michael to hang in his new office. I need your help though! I'm stuck between two ideas.

#1) Him with a Seahawks jersey on, throwing a football to our three boys on the other side of the page. The footbal maybe bouncing off of one of their heads and the girls in the middle in the back ground a little dressed as cheerleaders. Hubby is a TOTAL Seahawks fan, his license plate says HWKSFAN. LOL

#2) Michael's clever answer to people who keep asking us if/when we're having more children has been, "We're done. We've got our full house." Get it? 3 boys-2 girls. Anyways, I thought about having him draw a full house with the kid's faces as the kings and queens. Hannah could be the Queen of diamonds (she's girly and glittery) and Hailey could be the Queen of Hearts (she's really been the queen of all our hearts since she's been born!). So, WDYT??? Please vote in my comments box!

My blog's a genius!?

I always thought I was a genius.......TO-tally kidding! I'm not sure I agree with it, but hey I'll take it:) Thanks to Kristine for this one!

Saturday November 10th, 2007

Today we went up to an arts and crafts festival up in Fountain Hills. We had plans to also check on our geocache that we placed up there, but we were too tired once we got done with the fair. Our geocache is about 1/2 mile up a mountain walking trail....here are some pics from our day!

Hailey riding in the sling and actually liking it:)

Hailey taking a nap about half-way through.

Heading back to the car. Me and Hailey bringing up the rear as usual.

The lake before the fountain went off.

The fountain....

Hope you had a great Saturday too!

(P.S. I just noticed the date stamp is wrong on our camera LOL)

Another Friday Favorite

It's technically Saturday but I wanted to add another Friday Favorite...one of my favorite children's books...

Friday "Favorites"

I'm stealing an idea I've seen on a few blogs...Friday Favorites. Here's mine.

One of my favorite things is holding Hailey after her middle of the night feeding. She's still small enough to snuggle up just right on my shoulder and I can cup her little bum and "dance" with her while I burp her before putting her back to bed. She usually falls asleep on my shoulder but puts her head on my shoulder even if she's still awake. Ahhh, I L-O-V-E it! (Her too!)
