UFOs

http://thethornocks.blogspot.com/2011/02/ufo-month-my-list.html

My friend Rosie is hosting a contest this month. It's all about getting those unfinished projects done. Well, I have a few that I've been meaning to get done and actually ended up adding like 5 more to my list just in the past two days. So... my list!

*Two different wreaths.
-One for spring
-One for summer
... Now I must add that all I've had for the summer wreath is a hanger for the longest time, but I am now starting to collect fabric for it and hopefully should be able to start that soon.
... The one for spring I don't have all the stuff for either, but these are still projects that are bugging my brain. :0)
*I have fabric to make 4 skirts, two for each of the girls, now just to get it together and sew them.
-1st figure out how to re-purpose shirts into skirts for the girls!
*I also have fabric to make envelope pillow cases for three of my couch pillows. Now, I know when I'm going to be doing this and it's not going to be this month it will be next month though. On our 10 day break from school. :0)
*Mending! I have a pile of mending to do. As long as I can get enough homework done today then I can mend tomorrow. Yahoo!
*I have another new project! I know, why am I doing this to myself with all the other stuff I have going on? Well, I'm a sucker for punishment! No not really, I just really like having something other than school work and cleaning to do. :0) I am going to take a cute shower curtain and turn it into a table cloth. That's right people! I'm really excited about this one. Did you know it's really hard to find 70 x 70 table cloths? Well, did you know that most shower curtains are 72 x 72 or 70 x 72? Isn't that just perfect? Anyways, can you tell how excited I am? :0) This I'm going to try to get done this weekend too.

LOTS to do! Better stop blogging and get something done, right? :0)

Hello y'all! :o)

Well, we haven't been up to much and yet we've been busier than ever... I guess that happens when you have 3 kids, school, work, dance, and gymnastics, plus the countless other things just to do in a day.

But, lets see... We went to Florida for Christmas and Atlanta for New Years/Travis' birthday, which was all really fun. We got to see a lot of family and that was awesome.

We came home to school and work right away, which was a little crazy. I still have some organizing of new toys to do from Christmas. Sad, I know, but true.

School is going well for everyone. :0) Work too. Gym and dance are good. Travis is good. The girls are good. Tony and I are good.

Life is good.

Travis bit his tongue yesterday evening. It looked like this, only with more blood. He got 4 stitches. The doctor said it should heal nicely as long as he doesn't mess with it too much. Well, how do you tell an 11 month old to not mess with their tongue? We're working on it though. :0) Lots of popsicles and Tylenol. He is sleeping right now, but we'll see how he does later today. Well, I should try and get some sleep too. :0)

First time Travis danced. :0)

Crayons

We made crayons tonight. It was fun. The house smells of melted crayons. The girls helped sort the crayons by color and take all the paper off. Then we put them in the oven for what seemed like FOREVER! But then they came out and cooled and we got to color with them and everything tonight. So much fun! :0 )

We Bought a Car!

Yup, we bought a car. How fun is that? :0 ) It's cute, it's small-ish (doesn't feel like it is though we all fit in it great), & it's fun to drive. It's a Vibe. A Pontiac Vibe that is. Yup, it's fun. :0 )

I'm an AUNT!

Well, I got to meet my nephew this last week. He's adorable and perfect! I'm so excited to be an aunt, my first time ya know! Travis wasn't sure what to think of his new cousin but the girls were in LOVE. :0 ) It was a fun week and I'm totally glad that I got to go.

Anyways, things are good. Just hanging out, can't wait until Christmas (we get to go to Florida!). Not sure what's going on for Thanksgiving... totally NOT in the mood to cook for it yet, hopefully that changes! I am really ready for Halloween though. My bathroom is all decked out in Halloween decorations, I just got a new throw blanket with spiders on it for the living room. I've got Rylee's birthday party to plan, still not sure what we're doing for that though. :0 ) But we'll figure it out. I'm not really sure that Rylee cares what we do. But she's going to be 5 so that's fun.

Travis took his first steps yesterday, which is exciting. He's definitely trying to get more teeth too, just ask my collar bone, which one morning was used as a teething ring. It wasn't pleasant especially since he already has 2 teeth!

Well, that's what's going on. :0 )
