Isaiah's Chore Chart

I had this really cute board and I've had it forever but have never used it, Not to its full potential. My friend was making something similar to this the other day and I wasn't able to go the the activity so when i had the time I made my own. Ta da! It's Isaiah's very own chore chart. ha ha.


My niece drew the pics for me and i colored them and put them onto the magnets. I'm so glad to have this. I seriously use it every day with Isaiah. He's great at his chores now. ha ha.

Why oh why have I not shown you the Christmas stockings I made... Because I got distracted and still haven't made them yet. ha ha.

See, I got all busy making these crafts for my family
and then.... I simply had to do this photo shoot. No... i was not the photographer. I was the assistant to the camera woman (Erin Summerill) and the costume designer, and baby provider.
So i've been a little busy but I will now get into the stocking business again and finish those dang things.

oops!!

Oops I did it again.....

So there's this new thing called sabotaging your husband, and when i heard of it I just thought, "hey why not?"

So my husband was getting ready for an interview and decided he needed to get a haircut so he looked presentable. He does it himself with the hairclippers. After he finished he came and asked me how it looked. I told him it looked bad and I would come and help him fix it. Well..... how was i to know that he had taken the guard off. and there was no longer a size 8 but a size 0 on the clippers. .....My bad.So that's what he gets for being an awesome husband who's done most of the potty training,
and is willing to dress up like this for Halloween,
and make these crafts with me for Halloween.
He laughed about it, but i feel like a big ol craphead. I told him I was just helping him out cuz he hadn't changed his look in ten years.

So tell me... How have you sabotaged your husband lately?

Can you believe how long it's been since i've posted. talk about a bummer. so here's a few thoughts and a few pics.

1. I had a baby! yeah! she's a beautiful baby girl and I just love her.... and so does her brother. He is so happy and proud to be her brother.


2. My brother came home from Iraq! again with the YEAH! it's great to have him home and safe.

3. Since i'm home and kinda stuck here for a bit i've been focusing on some new crafts. and even though it's just a few days past halloween, I'm working on Christmas stockings. ha ha. I'll let you know how they turn out.

My CRAZY yesterday....

The beginning of an entirely new something to blog about.

When i was at the Doctors office yesterday, for something entirely different, I was politely informed that I'm pregnant.

SAY WHAT? Are you kidding me? I told the nurse.


This was entirely unexpected. In case you couldn't tell by my response to the nurse.
I'm ecstatic, and scared, and overjoyed, and everything you could imagine all at once.

My family of 3 is a family of 4

So... wish me luck on my newest and craziest of adventures. Parenthood x2
