Ribbon Photo hanger

I made photo ribbon hangers today they turned out so cute I should laminate the pictures but I think they will be okay not laminated.

I also bought frames for my other black and whites by the sea that were 5x7. I hung the 2 frames up with three pictures in each one.

I haven't gotten my larger pictures yet but did find frames for them at walmart. I like that are not terribly expensive and do the floating look.

I did buy Black foam board to see how they look hung on that too.

I am liking that I am getting the pictures up and making the apartment feel more like home

Christmas is over

I got the house cleaned up from Christmas. The tree is down. The wreath put away. The toys are all put in their new homes. The house is clean. It feels good to have the house back to normal. I cleaned from 8 am till 6 tonight. I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow.

I cleaned the kids room and got it all adjusted. The new toys have their homes. The kids have played Monopoly, Uno Flash, and Connect 4 today. They played well. I did get the dresser I ordered from Slumberland 4 months ago. Dustin brought the van in and we picked it up. It helped with the organization of the kids room.

I put away laundry that I washed at mom's house this weekend. It saves me $20 a week to wash my laundry at mom's house because we don't have a washer and dryer in the apartment. It is crazy how expensive it is to use the laundry mat. Then the clothes are not clean and they don't dry all the way. I can't believe that people actually pay to do it too. It is frustrating to wash your clothes there.

New Years Eve I don't really have any plans. The kids and I will stay here and play Wii and order pizza. I will get some junk food for tomorrow night. I think my brother Rex will be comming over to hang out with us.

I have been debating doing the Angel Food Ministries. I am going to get one box this month and see how the food is. I will let you know how it goes with that. It is $30 and supposed to feed a family for a week. http://www.angelfoodministries.com/
If I got it and used it for one week I would save almost $50 in one week. Makes one say WOW! It is alot of shoes I can buy. :)

New pictures of me from Christmas Day

Christmas Day I actually got my picture taken by Courtney so I added some new pictures of me. I had broke an egg all over my sweater and changed into my mom's shirt. I broke 2 eggs on myself while I was at my parents house. It must have been something with the eggs she has. LOL They were slippery.

Pictures of all 5 kids

I have pictures of all five of the kids from today. I will do those and then send pictures of the rest of Christmas. :) Then the picture of Tyler and Tommy together. I did get individual pictures of the boys but they need turned. Tyler and Tommy spent the night last night and played games and watched movies here.

Courtney is still in her jammies. She got them for Christmas from Grandma Weeks. They have been taken off to be washed twice and put back on to be worn till her mother tells her she stinks and needs a bath and new clothes or jammies.

Courtney Sending Daddy a message

Harm this is for you.

My Goofy daughter

Last night as we were going to bed Courtney looks out the window up in the sky, I asked her what she was doing. She answered, "Just looking for Santa" I answered, "Oh, what do you think he is doing a test run?" Courtney "Yes"
Crazy girl.

I keep looking for my Christmas spirit. I keep repeating that song, "Where Are You Christmas?"

I am trying to keep my Christmas Season. It is hard to make myself push my remember that it is important for the kids.

I have all the presents wrapped. The house is clean. Some cookies baked.

The weather looks to be good. There is supposed to be no snow. It is snowing here now and it snowed last night. It is supposed to snow tonight. It is warm. It is going to have a high of 28. YEA!

I heard a song today it was really nice. It was "Another Christmas" I am not sure who sings it. He was on American Idol.
