Life..

I wanted you to see what Nathan's shoes looked like after an "innocent" bike ride to the park. "Sorry mom! The mud just sucked my shoes in!" Yeah, right! Anyway, I went to upload this picture when low and behold I find some pictures that David had taken on my camera. Not just one, but 6! So when he's home supposedly doing his homework.....he's not actually doing it. I'm sharing a few shots of what a 13 year old boy does with no one home and a camera. Enjoy!

I actually like this next one. Very artistic!

All in a Days Work...

Ryan begged my to make homemade eggrolls tonight. They turned out so nice I thought I'd take a picture and share with everybody. See? I can cook!

Update

Here's what's new at our house. I was loading pictures for the blog when this picture downloaded off of David's pictures. He thought it was funny. So did I. So, here it is for your enjoyment! He calls it "Nuns with Guns" Really?!

This is the contents of a bag of food we won at the Rosauers Grand Re-Opening event. David stepped on the right numbers on the floor and we won! WooHoo!

This is a picture of the massive amount of food we had at our house for the Super Bowl Party. This only shows 1 of 2 counter tops full of food. Even the computer printer has cookies on it! That's our friend Matt in the picture.

My new plants! One row of Walla Walla sweets on the far left and some Coleus plants for houseplants/outdoor borders.

The very large leaves are Cucumbers and the far back ones are Tomatoes.

More Cucumber's. Aren't they cute?!

Bugged!

I needed a new pair of jeans the other day so I went to my favorite place, Fashion Bug. I know exactly what size and what style and walked right in expecting to grab and go. Uh, no. They no longer carry my usual tent and awning size. It seems I'm now a size 6. Yes, 6! Wow! I lost a lot more weight than I thought. It must have been a magical thing that happened when I walked through the doors. Anyway, I was looking all over for the conversion chart telling what size you used to be and the corresponding size now. The clerk told me that they don't have one and that the only way to get a correct fitting was to be measured. HA! I laughed thinking to myself, there's no way I'm getting sized at the Bug! I'm not that secure with my size to want someone else groping around my waist trying to figure out my size! Hello?!! So, I just did it the old fashioned way. Kept trying on different sizes until one fit. Oh but wait! They don't sell the jeans in Petite, Average and Tall anymore either! You have to by them by body type now. Yikes! Come to find out I'm a Wilshire. Curvy with hips and a small waist. I got a booty, ok? I guess now it has a name. Go figure! Talk about frustrating! So my ten minute trip turned into a 45 minute fiasco of trips back and forth to the dressing room. I ended up with 1 pair of jeans. That's all the strength I had. I need more but I need to save up my strength for another time. Thank goodness the guys didn't go with me. I'd have to peel them off the floor and wipe the drool off their mouths from sleeping so long!

I did It!

After much looking around to no avail, I finally got so frustrated and made my own makeup brush holder. I found a fellow blogger who gave all the dimensions needed and started from there. I think it turned out great!

This is the web blog that had the directions if your interested.

I finally got my sewing machine to work right too. Ugh! I haven't gotten it to work right in a lONG time. I think it might be user error. Hee Hee!

Sorry...

I know it's been awhile. Life seems to be spinning off it's axis lately. I'm feeling very overwhelmed at the moment with all the homework the guys have. I just don't get it. Over half the stuff they come home with they'll never use again! Of course, I don't tell them this but, come on! They sit for hours doing the stupid stuff. And with Nathan's learning disability it takes twice as long! Come on Spring Break!!!! Then we learned we have to make up 3 days of the 5 snow days we had. Calgon, take me away!

So all this is to say sorry. Sorry I haven't written, called or even talked to anyone lately. I haven't even had time for myself. I need a vacation really bad. Somewhere warm with no responsibilities. And definately NO homework!!
