Party Time

Prunes and an enema... What more could a girl need?

My mom's birthday was in July, but since she was out of the state, I decided to throw her a party now. She didn't have a clue! Everyone (almost) dressed "old", we played Bingo, and ate our food off of divided "nursing home" trays. There were "Pill Cups" for everyone to take home (full of Smarties and Good N' Plenty's) and we had a food processor set up at the end of the buffet for those who no longer had enough teeth to chew their food. It was an awesome time! 

We definitely had a full house, and a really good time.  Happy Birthday again, Mom!  I love you!

I don't know what to do today...

There's always laundry, you know, but I'm having a BRAND NEW washer and dryer delivered tomorrow, so I'm putting that off...  I'm starting to get stir crazy at home, though.  Jim's not sure whether or not he'll be able to come home this weekend, so I'm not sure whether or not I need to drive up there.  My parents are leaving SD today to come home for the winter. YAY!  Six months without my mom is a long time.  Sheesh.
So...  I may load up the kids and take them to Monkey Bizness, which is an indoor playground... I may bake cookies or something else yummy, I may go shopping, but I DO need to get out of the house.
Jay (my oldest) just started taking Taekwondo, and he looks so tough in his little uniform.  And, I gotta tell you, nothing beats watching a four year old do jumping jacks.  :D  Here's some pictures I took of him before his class yesterday.

It's been a while

Yes, I know... and I know you're supposed to write in your blog at least a couple of times a week, but, I've gotta tell ya, these last few weeks have been beyond crazy.  Jim ended up working 60 hours a week, and so in order to see him at all, I packed the kids up and went up there.  Hotels with 3 kids under 5 are... interesting.  It worked out, though, and I'm so thankful that we were at least able to spend a little bit of time together.  He did have a long weekend this weekend, and I just said "goodbye" again...
I have been able to make a few more bows, and got some really pretty designed ribbon for fall.  I also found some more butterflies, and these ones are glittery.  SO cute!
Little Haven's hair is finally getting long enough to put in little pigtails, (although they look more like horns at this point.) and I'm really having a ball with that.  I'm brainstorming on how to make itty bitty bows to clip on her little pigtails.
Football season's almost in full swing, and I'm hoping that more of my BSU and Vandals bows will start selling.  I've also got my eye out for other college themed ribbon.  NFL's hopeless, though.  They don't sell it anywhere... And I've looked everywhere.

So.... Here are my new additions:  First, the glittery butterflies:

Aren't they pretty?  And they come in two sizes, the large, seen here, and small, which I'm selling as sets of two.  Here's picture of the small green ones:

Next are the bows that I've made.  Purple with green flowers and a green center, and brown satin with pink cherry blossoms.  SO CUTE!
