I haven't forgotten about everyone!

Life is just waaaaaay more busy than I thought it would be. Coming up on the Christmas season at work, balancing 2 kids, trying not to go crazy and all the time, being happy for a five minute shower whenever I can snag it. It's crazy, but amazing.


Miss Pinks as "Fancy Nancy" for Halloween at school. She went as a vampire that night, but my camera was being contrary and I don't have shots of that yet. Had to take it with a real camera! One that has film in it! The horror!!!



Mr. Man being snuggly while I work. He's hiding in there somewhere!


That's it, not much else is going on. I'm looking for a "new to me" car and some more staff for the holidays. One search is going better than the other! HA! Hope all is well and I'll try to get by blogs soon. HUGS and LOVE!!!

My Kids

sigh....

Do you know how hard it is to do accouting with a 2 1/2 week old screaming in the background because he REFUSES to take a pacifier? If you don't know, it's pretty hard.

I like to make a grumpy face



But I'm still really cute.

I've been Crafty!!

First up is something I made for me. I don't do a whole lot of that, so you should be impressed. Last week, Karen over at Misses Kwitty had this FABULOUS tip about using stick glue when trying to get something to stay in place that pins just wouldn't work right on. Well she was right!! I woke up early yesterday and made this for me:



Isn't it cute?? I've been just cramming my hooks into yarn balls that were not in use, but that's not always a good thing. Karen's tip worked wonders as it made it easier to tack the ribbons and set the material. Thank you so much!!

Next up is a hat and scarf set that I put together for Miss Pinks. I am SO in love with this set!! The color is really a pretty purple, but it looks blue in the photo. (also, I'm washing sheets, so not one word about the naked bed!)



The pattern for the hat was plain, but with the curly scarf, I wanted to add a little flair, so I added a ruffle to the trim.



She loved it!! Hubs even thought it turned out well and it didn't take me that long to do, so this may be a set you see again before this winter is out.

Well, this may be my last post for a little while. They are going to induce labor tomorrow morning so I'll be at home snuggling with my new son. I'll try to post photos of him and at least give an update, but you know how that labor thing goes! Please, say a prayer or wish me luck. I'll see you guys when I'm Momma X 2!!!

Much Love,
Pinky!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Today is Miss Pinks 8th Birthday!! WOW!! It's hard to believe she's already 8 years old!! We couldn't plan a traditional birthday party for her this year because we figured THAT would be the day I went into labor, but I am surprising her at school with a party in her class!! She has NO idea! I'm really excited about it. This way she can still party with all her friends. Plus, today is picture day at school, her Book Club where she gets to do book reports AND it's Pizza Day! Talk about a great birthday day at school.

I gave her the bunny this morning! Here is the bunny:



Getting ready for school:



FREEZING! (it was 54 degrees here this morning! That's chilly for the South!)



Bunny Snuggling!!



We have some presents for her for this evening, my mother in law picked up a cake and we will probably go out to eat for dinner. We've got a huge party weekend planned for her as soon as I have the baby but I know today is going to be so much fun! I can't wait to surprise her at school!

I am constantly amazed by how blessed I am with my daughter. She is a joy and a light not just to me, but to so many others around her. I am thankful for her every second of every day. Did you know that she wanted one of her presents to be made by me? I told her she would be getting one gift before school and she asked, "did you make it??" Not many kids would do that in today's society. I felt very honored and very proud. I love you so much my darling princess. Have a most special 8th birthday.

All My Love,
Momma
