WHAT A MESS!!!

I know I have been super productive by the HUGE mess I have made in only a few hours!!! For some reason my most creative moments come to me when chaos is happening!! I think Alicia needs to come help me reorganize!!! LOL

I have been working on a project for the store. They are gift card tins!! What a fun idea for teachers, friends or anyone you know that LOVES to get gift cards. They are for sale at the attic and if you don't find one you like I would LOVE to custom make one. They would also be PERFECT for a birthday party!!!!

Alright enough said...I must clean up my mess...and go to bed. later taters!!!

Can you believe I am blogging again??!!?? I am going to use this opportunity to vent. First lets start with today. I did not have to work at the store my hub did not go hunting and all of my girls were here at home. I was kinda excited thinking hey let's put up the tree and have LOTS of family time. Well that did not happen. Hub was the least excited about getting the tree down from the attic and the girls threw a huge fit over picking up toys. SO I decided that I was NOT going to subject myself to the negative drama!! The tree was and is only going up if EVERYONE is in a good mood!! The tree did not get up today....UGH!!! Okay after all that drama everyone is BORED. It has been awhile since we all have been home together. So I say "hey lets play a game!" Yatzee was the only game that even ella could play. Lets just say after the first round I was wishing I had a fork to poke my eyes out. Even after 2 vanilla vodka and cokes I couldn't deal with all of the family time. There was no taking turns or keeping score just the loud screams of "Is it my turn yet?" Please someone tell me that I am not a terrible mom!! I just feel so bad that I do NOT have the patience to sit with them. I would rather be cleaning. I am SOOOO thankful that tomorrow is my day at the store!!! YEAH!!!!!

I do have more venting to do on a much personal level, but I will get to that tomorrow...

Ella had her first day of school this week and she is very excited about going. She is patiently awaiting the day she gets to have homework. I can't believe in just 20 more days my baby will be 4 years old....ughhh!! It feels like yesterday I was pregnant with her.

Time for a change...

Ok does anyone else like to change the furniture around? I am addicted to "rearranging" the house. Here's a pic of my "new" and fresh look for my sitting room. This is my 2nd fav place because this is the no toy zone, no tv and no laundry on the couch area. This is the only room I have control over in my house. Do you all like it at this angle? I love it..it's just different and not so square. I forgot to take a pic before i moved everything. oh..thanks to my girl bobbie she's a fab decorator and always helps me make these though decisions. i love her style!!
Yesterday was a monumental moment in our house. Lexie asked me if she could shave her legs. I was sooooo excited to show her how!! WOW where does the time go??? dennis and i are so proud of her. she just as perfect as they get. we are very lucky!!
one other thing before i call it a night. Pics of the kitties are posted. They are 4? weeks and will need good homes in about 3 more weeks. If anyone is interested please let me know.

August 28

Where in the world does the time go??? I finally have a minute to sit, download pics and update my blog. We are sooo busy here with school, work and activities! I know the kids have been in school for almost 2 weeks, but here are the first day pics. This weekend was Crop a Ganza!! What a blast we all had. Here's an inside peek of just how crazy it can get!! Also, I have been nursing (with a bottle-Steff) 3 orphaned kittens. Here are some pics if ANYONE would like 1, 2 or even 3 new additions to their family, PLEASE call me or email anytime.

Hugs and Kisses

Grandma Brown if you are here I am sending the reunion pics via snail mail this weekend. Hope Grandpa is doing good!! Loves and Kisses!!!

Just Ella and I...

Life is a little less crazy during the hours of 8 am to 3:30pm mon thru fri. The girls are in school and Ella gets 100% of my time. It is amazing how loving and patient (no, I am not exaggerating) she is with out her sisters around! We snuggle and watch Dora and Diego every morning. I love it!! We are also very proud of Ella. She has been sleeping in her OWN all by herself for 8 days now!! I have been able to sleep all night without being peed on!! YEAH!!!!
This weekend is the big Crop A Ganza in Park City. I am sooo excited. This is the time when all is focused on getting as much done as possible in 1 weekend with absolutely no interruptions. Dennis is the best honey ever because he has not even complained at all about me being gone for the weekend. He will even get to play golf!! I guess I should start on supper so I can get up to the attic and start stuffing goody bags!!!!

The 1st Day...

So today was the first day of school for the girls. I was kinda sad seeing how much my babies have grown up. Lexie is now in the 6th grade...I can't believe it. Briley is in 2nd grade and is the most nervous about how her day will be scheduled. She's likes her routines. Ella will be going to preschool after Labor Day for 2 days a week. She is sooo excited!
I have been busy trying to get ready for a childrens clothing sale the weekend after Ganza. I think i might have a small addiction the Gap. I have 9 big containers full of clothing for the girls some new, some old, some with tags still on them. I have 1 container full of nothing but super cute shoes that I just could not get rid of. Most still look brand new. Thanks to my Aunt Susan and Grammie Welsh my girls very spoiled with cute outfits. We love you!! Anyways, one of my goals is to get rid of all but 2 containers. I know that my honey would be so thrilled to have some space in the storage room!! Anyways enough rambling...maybe more tomorrow! LOL

Early Bedtime?!?

Ok...I am feeling like the meanest mommy ever!! Dennis and I have decided it would be best if the girls all go to bed by 9 pm to get adjusted to the whole school routine thing. Well...I had last minute guilt...it is the last few days of thier summer...maybe they should be able to stay up late just a few more nights! When i told my hub he was not very happy with me so I went along with what we agreed and here it is 9:34 and they are all in bed almost asleep, even Ella. Do you guys make the kids go to bed this early before school even starts? I would love to hear your thoughts on this one.

I have just finished my layout challenge for the Attic. I LOVE how it turned out! I used my favorite thing BUTTONS!! For those of you who have not been to my favorite place Scrapfunattic you are missing out!! Steffanie and Renee know how to pick out some of the best products for us to go crazy over!! I was able to play a little with my camera today so here's a few cool pic of my new buttons. Hope you like them.

What the.......

I have had almost 1 week without 2 of my 3 children and I have only gotten 1 thing done on my looooong list of things to do before they come back. Holy cow!! I do not have any energy...Ella sucks up what ever I think I might have. Oh well, I guess I will have to bust my hump this week. School starts Thursday and I REALLY need to organize closets so our mornings go smoothly. Sissy Heather I can't thank you enough for all you have done for the girls. I know that they have had a blast with you!! I love you!!

Summer Layouts!!

OK....I think I have finally figured out how to crop and post layouts to my blog. GEEZ...I feel like a dinosaur, I am sooo far behind on the times. I have not been working on very much lately...my mojo is missing, I think Renee took it! LOL!!!

I think that my week is just out of whack. Lexie and Briley are in Kansas City with Sissy Heather for 1 week. I must say I kinda do miss all of thier fighting. Only a little! Ella has been so bored with out her sista's. "I wiss dem mommy! I weally do!" I love listening to her miss them. I think she needs the chaos. It keeps her busy.

Speaking of chaos, I just wouldn't know what to do with myself if I did not have any in my life. Sooooo on top of everything else I have to do I am now "fostering" 3 baby kitties. The momma was ran over so they have to be bottle feed every TWO hours. They don't like to miss a feeding! So I have to get up and feed them. Hate that!!

Anyways here are a few layouts of this summer. Enjoy!!
