getting crafty....

Molly and I made these cute candy corn decorations for our table. They don't look a whole lot like the ones I tryed to copy. The lady on that site new what she was doing. This was Molly and my first time with plaster. We are happy with them anyways. I love fall and the holidays and from all the blogs I read I have found some great crafts we are going to make. I also added a couple cute pics of Parker and Macey. I can finally put some bows in Macey's hair, barely though, lol.

Here is the blog I found the candy corn at and what they are supposed to look like: http://cheapchichome.blogspot.com/2010/09/jumbo-styrofoam-candy-corn.html

Macey is sleeping in her crib!

Yay! She has been having the hardest time going to sleep lately. I needed a break today so I put her in her crib for a few minutes. She whined for a minute and I kept checking on her. A minute or two later I went back in and she was asleep. This is the first time she's fell asleep in her crib. Yay. I really hope she keeps doing this. I enjoy the time to clean house and play with the other kids.

Long day!

First I went thrift store shopping with my Mom. Love it! Afterwards I picked Parker up at school. The teacher said he'd been limping and whiney alot and I should get his ankle looked at. Usually I'm overly cautious about things but this morning he said he felt fine. Took him to the dr. and there is nothing broken. We had to sit for 4 hours at the clinic waiting to be seen. Parker was so well behaved while we were waiting. He whined a little but he totally listened to me and there were no meltdowns. The x-ray tech said he was her best patent today. Parker loved riding in the wheel chair. I guess he'll just have to take it easy for a couple days. What a turkey.

Update

Things have been good. I've been staying home alot and enjoying the kids. School is going good for everyone. I've been getting into crafts more lately. I even got a job application for the dollar store. Gotta do something. Have a good week everyone.

My buddy

Parker is doing so good in school right now. They are so proud of him and so am I. He doesn't even mind going these days. Today he is supposed to go to another class for integration. I'm thinking it will just be pe, lunch and recess. I'm not completely sure. I hope he likes the teacher.

My beautiful girl…..

 

Pray

Please pray for Bobby's grandma who is in the hospital. They don't really know whats wrong but it's been pretty serious. Pray that she makes a full recovery. She is getting somewhat better so I am so hopeful for her. She means so much to our family and practically raised my husband. Thank you.

Busy week

This is going to be such a busy couple of days for me. I'm getting stressed out just thinking about it. Molly's birthday party is on Saturday and I have to get my house cleaned, stuff bought and yard done. I also have to make sure the kids have all there school stuff. They start on Monday. I still need to find Parker pants somewhere. He only wears sweats or cotton track pants. No one is selling sweats right now that I can find. The Childrens place has some but they are pretty pricey. I'm going to check Kohls this week. Molly seems to have enough clothes. I still have to get her some more school supplies though.

This week is even tougher because Macey does not want me out of her sight. The minute I try and do something, when Bobby's not home, she starts crying. I can only set her down for about 10 or 15 minutes anymore. That makes getting housework and stuff done pretty hard. I'mm going to have to work on letting her cry a little more once Parker goes back to school.

On the plus side Bobby fixed the fence in the backyard. No more sheep visitors. We are trying to pick up all the sheep poop before her party, ew. Tomorrow he's going to borrow the neighbors power sprayer and spray off the house so it looks nice. I swear, next year I'm having Molly's party somewhere else.

I'm just going to have to take on thing at a time and try and enjoy these last days of summer. I'm trying to get Parker prepared to get back to school. That's hard. My poor little guy. He usually thinks of school as tourture. Here's hoping this year goes well for him. I wish I could take away every worry or fear and just keep him happy all the time. I guess God didn't give me that power. I just have to be there for him and be his advocate. Sigh, life is hard sometimes. At least I have a wonderful husband to help me with everything. He is definately my rock.

Molly, Macey and I have started going to a new church. It's here in Ferndale and the people there are really nice. It's nice to go to a small church where you can actually get to know the pastor. I am still going to go to the bigger church when I can, but this oneis in town and it's easier for me to go every week. Now if I can just get Parker interested in going.
