BEWARE: lots of fun
a friend a mine told me about this AWESOME site... photofunia.com
all you do is select the background you want (they have A LOT to pick from) & then a picture you want from your computer. it does the rest!

simple as that...
i have one of these in our living room. i am ALWAYS cold so having something warm close-by is a must!
one problem... BROCK!!!
he finds it fun to play with them - make tents, have a picnic, or just pull them off because he can.
i was getting so frustrated every time i walked into the living room to see 5 or 6 blankets on the floor.
"didn't i just pick those up?" i would ask.
all i would get back was his cute smile & laughs.
i feel dumb admitting it but my solution... taking 3 away. simple as that! not sure why i didn't think of it earlier!
((i can handle picking 3 blankets off the floor about 15 times a day!!! haha))
**does your kid do something over & over & you finally just figured out a simple solution?**

my simple woman's daybook... 10/5
outside my window... cloudy & cool
i am thinking... today is the day i must go grocery shopping. one of my least favorite things to do.
i am thankful for a great weekend in edmond... HS football game, allie (from our old youth group) won homecoming queen, fishing (kaden caught 2), eating, spending lots of time with mamaw & papaw
from the kitchen... not sure (yet!) but i'm thinking its homemade soup weather.
i am going... tuesday - i work & then STATE FAIR!!!
wednesday - church
thursday - work
friday - no plans
saturday - no plans (love these kind of weekends!)
i am hearing... silence - which means brock is more than likely doing something he shouldn't be!!
noticing that... i came home to a clean house last night but this morning its dirty again. funny how fast that happens!!
i am hoping... chad gets to feeling better.

a day late...
on thursday i usually write or make a list of things i am thankful for.
well, i didn't get to it because yesterday was horrible & to be honest just didn't feel like making a list.
i was tired & the boys were let's say... a (little!) cranky.
**so the first thing i am thankful for - its FRIDAY! we all had a good night sleep & we all woke up in good moods!
and b woke up dry (praise you jesus!) so i didn't have to wash the sheets for the first time in 3 days!
**the second thing i am (very) thankful for is the sweet photographer girl at picture people.
we had an apt at 5:30 wednesday. this would give us time to get home, let kaden play, watch his favorite cartoon & then we would head to the mall.
that plan was good but what i picked out was all wrong. (jeans, shirt & NOT his tennis shoes)
nope not what he wanted to wear & so the crying, arguing begins.
and it continued for 30 minutes.
he was crying & i was beyond mad.
we were late to our scheduled appointment but i couldn't reschedule because i had a coupon to get (free) 8x10, 2 5x7 & a sheet of wallets that was about to expire.
i felt sorry for whoever was going to end up taking his picture & trying to get him to smile.
the poor girl.
but she had a way with kaden & ended up getting him to smile.
i thanked her about a million times.
check out for yourself...
(and you will notice in the pictures that he isn't wearing the jeans. i took shorts just in case & that is when the best smiles came out !!)

85 days...
if i added it right that is the days until CHRISTMAS!!
((but i could be wrong so please do the math yourself. it was always my worst subject in school))
i have made my list of people that i need to buy for.
even, started looking online.
chad has even me the envelope with the christmas money so i am ready. set. go.
sunday... i bought my first christmas gift for my niece. brock saw it when i got home & when i wasn't looking he tried to open it. his face was so sad when i took it away, so i have decided to give it to him. i am hoping he forgets about it & will actually be surprised when he opens it! ha
and then yesterday... bought 5 more gifts.
i'm pumped that i have started this early. i am hoping to be done by black friday!
let the good times begin... shopping & finding good deals!!!

my simple woman's daybook... 9/28
i found a new blog here & every monday she makes a list of things going on in her life, sometimes it the same. sometimes she changes things up & adds new one.
either way... i love me some list!!
************************************************************************************
outside my window... some men painting the house behind ours
i am thinking... i have alot of my to do list - i don't need to be on here much longer. ha!
i am thankful for... my super clean garage. chad worked in/on it all day saturday - hung the bikes, put tools away but most importantly we can park both cars in there.
from the kitchen...
monday - tacos
tuesday - breakfast (biscuits, eggs, bacon, grits)
wednesday - grilled chicken
thursday - not sure
friday/saturday/sunday - will be in edmond with chad's parents
i am going...
tuesday - work (6am-10)
classroom birthday party in kaden's class
wednesday - kaden getting his picture taken at picture people
thursday work (7am-11)
friday - headed to edmond
i am hearing... music from the office (chad is working from home this am) and i hear brock laughing as he jumps off the couch onto the beanbag
pondering words... regardless of what else you put on, wear LOVE. it's your basic all-purpose garment. never be without it.
i am hoping... that i can actually post this. my computer keep being dumb.
around the house... cleaning up after my 3 year old - every room he goes in there is a mess when he leaves.
happy monday!

summer fun... 2009
the summer is over :(
we had a great one & made alot of great memories!
since i didn't post this summer due to lack of internet access i have ALOT of pictures to post.
i didn't want to post them all separate, that would take forever.
slide.com came to my rescue.
enjoy!!

ALL DAY...
its been a month since kaden started kindergarten ALL DAY!
so its just me & brock (and sometimes chad is around)
brock is my little helper... he loves to help me do my chores! we play with cars & get out every board game, we make yummy desserts & run errands.
man, its so much easier having one kid. lol
but ALL DAY brock will say, "i miss kk" or "when we going to go get kaden?"
i love this time with just him - having so much one-on-one time. i have never had "this" time, esp the ALL DAY amount. its special mom & brock bonding time.
love it! love him!
