Running out of ideas...

I don’t know about you, but I can NOT sit still and watch TV. I wish that meant that my house was never dirty and that there was never piles of laundry to do, but that is not what occurs. I, instead, fill my time with projects or look at magazines, but you will NEVER find me just sitting and watching TV. My husband has always been annoyed with this, but I think it’s a good thing. The only problem is…I’m running out of things to do.

I cut coupons.


I look at magazines. (I think I'm addicted. Thank you Half Price for selling mags!)


I’ve made a wreath out of paper, buttons, wire, etc.




I’ve covered boxes with paper to make pretty organization.


I’ve sewed or sewn(not really successfully).


I’ve painted canvases for my boys’ room.


I fold laundry.


What else can I do? I need new, fun, creative ideas.

"Bear"ing with him...

Sweet Bear, my youngest, is proving to be a challenge. He deserves a post all his own.
I remember saying when he was a baby that Toby was my challenging one and he was gonna be my sweet cuddler! I was NOT correct! At about 6 months I realized the kid was less than cuddly. He liked to get into things WAY more than Toby and he loved the word NO, and as stated in last week's blog...his favorite thing to say now is, "I don't want to."
He's my kid, so I am allowed to say - He is weird! He would never keep his socks on his feet - they would be removed and placed over his hands. And as shown in the pictures below...He would, somehow, twist his shirt around his body. Weird.


I stick by the fact that he is weird AND difficult, but I have to say - He is just so darn cute! Remeber the curls?! I mean - look at that face!
This was last Halloween - he was Nacho Libre.

And...he is great with babies. That's a good sign. Here he is with Baby Emma (cousin).

Don't let the cute fool you though. He's always up to something or thinking about what he can break or get into. For example, he brought me a piece of furniture last night he had broken off. He is holding the handle and I have circled where the handle came from in yellow. He's proud of himself. Can you tell?!

Man I love him and the challenges he brings. It is just so wonderful being a mom!

Rededication...

This is me rededicating myself to you, my blog! I have alot of catching up to do. We'll start simple. Toby is now 6 - YES, I said 6!!! He is in first grade and he is way too big for his britches!


I mean...look at those angels! Bear is 2 and man - he's a handful. His favorite thing to say is, "I don't want to." Come one Bear...give your mom a break! He's so cute and unsuspecting!
We recently moved to G-Town (Garland) a street over from my sister and I am loving it! I mean...I have my best friend and sister a street over and her 4 babies that I love so much! Maddie is in 6th grade and her youngest, Emma, is only a month and a half! Her two boys, Nickey and Tyler go to school with Toby. Here they are on their first day...


My cup overflows!
