no clue...

for a week now i thought i lost all my blog list, about me, you know all your sidebar stuff.

well, today i discovered it at the bottom of my blog.

not a clue how it got there.

not a clue how to get it back to where it needs to go.

do you? can tell me how... please!

i want my blog to look normal again :) ha

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!

we spent an hour or so making some cool photos!!

BEWARE: its addicting!!

today i am thankful for...

WASHABLE MARKERS!!!

(the pictures explain it all)

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 !!)
