Blogging Funk

Okay. I admit it, I have been terrible about blogging lately! It's not that I have nothing to blog about, I do! Lots of goodies. Just, not always to time to sit and do it all. I have been really terrible about not getting my pics of the camera and such. Really, I do need to get better about it! I promise though to try and get better about my posts.....yikes, I am frightened actually saying I promise to try will result in not doing so. However, I really am gonna try! :)

So this next week my goal will be to post at least twice! In one week! Lets see if I can do it.....

Have a great weekend!

Good Things

I am a little late with my "Thankful" post for this week. But, better than last week when I totally missed it all together and didn't even realize it until Tuesday! Maybe I should change this to another day? Nah, I will just try and keep up with what I have already started.

Today was a really fun day. It was a "work" (meaning NO school) day at the monkey boy's pre-school, so we had a play date with a good friend. A couple good friends actually, both his and mine! My friend (the mom) of his friend had this cute idea about making candy corn cookies. SO cute! They turned out very cute and it was fun with the kiddos and moms decorating the cookies. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so I have no pics to share at the moment, but another friend there was a smart thinker and had hers, so she said she would be happy to share. I will try and remember to post those when they come my way. Super cute idea! So, that is what I am thankful for this Thursday....good friends, fun times and laughter. Oh, and that our kids get along too! I love that our kids get along and that our friendships are able to grow along with them. Not always able to have it both ways...


Happy Thursday......wait, Friday to you!

Feelin' Crafty

So much craftiness, so not enough time! I have a bajillion ideas constantly running through my brain. ALL the time. So much fun. But alas, there is just simply not enough time in my days (anyones really?) to do all of these fun ideas. However, I did manage to get one fun, just to spend time with my monkey boy, project done this weekend! Okay, it's not totally finished, but it's getting there. Above are just some glimpses of it. Basically, it's leftover craft foam from another project. Random bits of colorful not-so-perfect circles that I thought would be fun to turn into some type of "window treatment" for a spare room in our house that we are thinking about turning into a "playroom" of sorts. Really, it's my son's nursery, but he has sinced moved into his "big boy" room. We had plans of keeping it a nursery, but things have not gone quite according to our plan. I will not go into a long sob story here about my PCOS and attempts to have more children. But, it is the reality of things and not that we're giving up, just deciding that the space can't go unused forever! So, we decided what fun it would be to decorate it so it can be a play-ish room for the monkey boy and easily transition into a nursery if that is to happen again in the future. We have not told the monkey boy this as of yet. Still trying to work out the logistics of it all. Meanwhile, it's kinda sad to realize we have been here for five years and have yet to put something up on the window in this room other than the paper shade that is still there...from when we moved in! Not that I haven't wanted to, it's just the view out the window is, well, not really anything other than another window...our neighbors! Literally, thats it. Look out a window and into another! I have thought about planting something out that way, but it's not really a frequented place when we're outside, so I am easily able to "forget" about watering and careing for whatever it would be that I were to plant there. Anyone have any good ideas on this? There is only about a good three feet between the house and the fence separating us from our neighbors on that side. Thankfully, they are rather nice neighbors! I could go on, but I won't.

Hope all are having a nice weekend! Take it easy and enjoy the rest of it before Monday comes again.....

Thankful for the letter "A"

Today has been a pretty one full of much singing from the Monkey Boy! He awoke, singing all the way into our room. I cannot remember exactly what he was singing, but it was cute. Then, on the way to pre-school he sang about "A Bear Hunt" Something about "we're going on a bear hunt to find a bear with big green eyes and a fuzzy little tail" and such. Then, when I picked him up from school, all the way out to the car he sang "Apple Annie" Don't know if you know how it goes, but it's a little something like this: "Apple Annie, Apple Annie, how are you today-Ay? Tell me all the things you know about the letter A-ay! Alligator, Astronaut, trees that sway-y sway-Ay! Those are all the things that start with the letter A-ay!" I do not know the tune exactly, but oh how it made my day! Oops, didn't mean to rhyme there. :) Oh, and also on the way home...ALL the way home, we HAD to, just HAD to find 100 letter A's. Yuppers, we counted 100 (and then some) letter A's.The people in the cars around us must have thought I was nuts pointing to all the different signs with letter "A"!
Yeah, the letter of the week at school was "Aa", in case you hadn't figured that out yet. It was fun. I enjoyed all that about "A" and hmmm, yes, I hear him singing the "Bear Hunt" one again. I am SO thankful for sweet little sounds and songs of childhood.

Happy Thursday!
