Crazy Lady

Yeah, that's me. One of the typing companies that I work for sporadically contacted me and said they had an overload of jobs coming that they needed typed over the weekend. Seeing the dollar signs, cause they pay quite well, I signed on for quite a few jobs. So, this morning two of the kids wake up with pink eye and colds. So we make the trip in to the doctor's office and then of course the hour long wait at the pharmacy. When am I going to learn and switch them over to the pharmacy by my house? The whole time I'm thinking of the jobs waiting for me at home while I'm sitting at Rite Aid twiddling my thumbs. We're supposed to go see the Steven Courtney Band tonight and go to "Safe Halloween" in Kzoo tomorrow, and the kids are sitting at the pharmacy going, "Why can't we buy candy?" Meanwhile, it's raining, raining, raining. And hey, now I'm done whining and getting back to work. Whew, thanks for letting me get that out, lol. Here's to a brighter tomorrow!

These photos are actually from last month, I'm trying to go back and post some of the ones I didn't have time to get up here when I took them. These are Courtney and Xavier playing with Drake and Eben at Grandma's house right before she left for Arizona. Everbody was at the house visiting and the kids were running in circles around the house so we went outside to blow off a little steam. :+)) Courtney made up a new game of soccer basketball, which was kind of just playing soccer with a basketball, but with some very creative spin kicks thrown in, lol. Courtney is very much a girly girl most of the time, but she still enjoys getting dirty. I think her spin kicks were combining ballet and soccer. :+P

And then of course, if there are steps and you're a kid, then you gotta spend some time jumping from the top step!!

Basketball in the yard

A cute picture of Courtney and Brook at the playground last Saturday.

On Sunday we painted some mini-pumpkins just for the heck of it. I told the kids to go nuts with the paint, and they took me at my word. Click on the photo below to go the album and see all the pictures. I think they turned out pretty cool, and I didn't even have to get my hands full of pumpkin innards. lol

10-22-06 Painting Pumpkins

Brook and Tona spent the night this weekend, always lots of fun. I took the kids to the playground for a couple hours on Saturday and wore them out properly. :+) If you click on Courtney's photo there it will take you to the online album so you can see the rest of the photos. Have a great day everyone!

Me and Aiden hanging out, being goofballs. He's getting totally into taking pictures, it's a lot of fun.

This weekend my folks came down to visit, great to see them! They brought my niece Lilly, whom I haven't seen since last Christmas, it was so wonderful. We also had a costume party on Saturday which was lots of fun. The kids were looking forward to it for weeks and had such a great time. Thanks to everyone that came!! Click on the picture below to see an album of pics from the weekend. :+)

Costume Party and Folks' Visit

10-6-06 Kids at Depot Park

A fun Saturday at the park with Aiden, Courtney, and Xavier. Check out Aiden's "Teen Titan" mask, he wore it all day. :+)

Shhhh....
I made this for Landon's bday next month, so don't say anything to him about it!!! But, it was a really fun project and I am excited about how it turned out, so I couldn't wait until then to share it. :+) This was another project inspired by Elsie Flanigan. So much fun to step back and remind yourself of the things that make your man so loveable! :+))

Familiy Portraits

Finally posting the portraits we did last weekend - yaaay! Click on the pic above to see the whole album. I still haven't finished the album that I thought I was going to be posting on Wednesday. It's almost done, just needs a few more touches. Hopefully I will be able to get it finished up this weekend.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been working on a mini-album which I think I will be finishing today and will post. It was a really busy weekend. Took the kids out and did their yearly portraits on Saturday, but I wasn't happy with them, so I took them out for a redo on Sunday! Will be posting those soon, too. Everybody email me some of your pictures please. ;+))
