My yard

My Front yard looks great. I have been working on the flower beds for about two week and I think they are done. I have received lot and lots of comments. That not the important part.

Bruce, my sweet huddy, made this comment to me, after talking about how great our yard looks, "You do a great job at everything that you WANT to do."

HA, HA. While I was working in the yard the house got pretty bad. The dishes didn't get done, the laundry piled up, the kids had free reign. I'm not so good at multi tasking.

New conrainer for ponytails

I have found the greatest container to hold the girls ponytail holders. I have been looking for a while now and finally I have it. I tried using an embrordery thead holder, it works pretty well until it would gets knocked off the counter. Then all of the colors mixed together again. Also little hand think that it is so fun to play with all the pretty colors.

Now I have a Craft Mates Locking Caddy. It has seperates, each with a locking lid, so that I can open only the color that I need. If the container falls off the counter everything stays sorted.

I love it.

I also found these Lock-ups container for my extra ponytail holders

Srubbing Bubbles

Little Man found a can of scrubbing bubbles and asked me what it was for. I told him I used it to clean the tub. He insisted that I clean the bath tub right then. He did let me finish vacuuming first, but as soon as I was done, it was straight to the bathroom. He stood there and watched me spray and then scrub the tub, for whatever reason he thought it was hilarious.

So now I'm wondering what Bruce is teaching the kids when I'm not around.

Well Princess has wanted a Hannah Montana Party for a whole year.

So here is a funny story for you.

Princess never knows what meat we are eating. She knows that it is meat just not what kind. The other night we were having chicken and she told me that she loved the ham. When we told her that it wasn't ham she guessed that it was beef. Then she said, is it meat? Yes it was meat. We talked to her about teaching her about different meats. Princess thought that was a great idea and told me that I could make a bunch of different meats and then let her eat them. Bruce and I laughed, then we thought of Rodizio Grill. It is an all you can eat Brazilian BBQ. You sit and the waiters bring different meats around for you to try.
Princess thought that was the best idea ever. Bruce and I asked her if she would rather have a Hannah Montana party with friends OR go to the Rodizio Grill with the family. I was amazed with her choice, "I want to try the meats." We talked about it and she was sure about her decision. Since we had Soccer Wednesday night we went to dinner tonight. It was fantastic, and Hannah loved it.

On her actual B-day we did have a Hannah Montana cake and she got HM PJ's.

Monkey enjoying the B-day celebration.

Little Man, didn't eat much but had lots of fun.

Finally

Spring has come!!! My kids decided that it was warm enough outside to run in the sprinkler. Minutes after we turned on the water neighborhood kids started showing up in their swimsuits. The water only lasted about 30 minutes but my kids keep telling how fun the water party was.

Princess was the first to get wet and the first to decide that the water was too cold.

Little Man was the bravest as far as running through the water he for sure lasted the longest.

Easter Bows

I used to sew the girls Easter dresses but right no I have no sewing Machine. I found these cute dresses a Costco, Laura Ashley dresses. I made bows to match the dresses and I think they turned out pretty cute.

Monkey and Princess are adorable in their Easter outfits. Little Man got his first tie and Dad got a matching one.

Does this ever happen to you?

I got up yesterday got the kids to school and ran my errand. I found exactly what wanted at the craft store, Wood Connection. I even put a NO SOLICITING sign on my front door, finally. After school I took the kids to the library, we all got along and had a fun time. I wish library time could alway that nice. When we returned home, I vacuumed out the car while the kids rode scooters with the neighbors. By now it was about 5:30. Bruce didn't have scouts so I had planned a fun dinner of crepes and fresh fruit. I was just for the call to say the Bruce was on his way to start making dinner.
While the kids were playing, Princess got hit in the head with a baseball bat, and yes it had to be wooden. This is when everything fell apart. Monkey is terrified of blood so she ran inside and hid in her room as fast as she could. Princess was freaking out, as soon as I the gash I know it needed stiches. Luckily my neighbor was able to watch Little Man and Monkey while I loaded Princess in the car and went to the Kids Care.
I realized that my wallet was still in the library bag so I couldn't pay the co-pay. Priness needed to go the bathroom three times while we waited between the cleaning and numbing of her gash. Then she needed three people to hold her still so the the doctor could give her three stiches on her forehead.
The day had such a great start, and I really an so productive during the. I even had dinner planned and everything. Bruce ended up feeding Money and Little Man PB&J and Princess had an 8:30 dinner of the same. Bedtine is 8, so we hurried and got the kids in bed. Bruce and I still had to have dinner and pack book bags plus everything else that do that we do to after the kids go to bed. Like I said the day started out great, it is just too bed it didn't continue what way. It is a good thing there is alway tomorrow.
