Day 362: "Ello" Little Squirrel

I was looking out the kitchen window, and saw this cute little squirrel in the tree. He's been around for a while, I seen him this fall. He tried getting some fleece that was in the trash for his nest one time. lol Kwintyn also got a CUTE hat from a friend. It was handmade!! It is just beautiful. I am jealous of O's Mom's talent. ;) And I have NO CLUE how I am missing 3 days out of my project?!?! How did I miss that?! I took a photo everyday, and if I didn't I added the no image available pic. I thought I numbered my blogs wrong, as that happened to me from a previous project I did. I ended up with 2 of the same days. I checked , and all looks good, just missing a few days. Although I do feel like I missed many days as this year has gone by so very fast. I might have entered the Twilight Zone at some point?! I know one day I stayed awake for over 24 hours, so that's like missing a day. It's crazy that it's New Year's Eve-Eve. Almost a whole new year!! I really hope this next year is a good one, because this year has been a very, very rough year. I know it's been a tough year for many. I just want peace, and serenity, more simpler life. Less stuff. Getting in to shape, and eating healthier. I plan on taking a journey down the detox road. I want to start taking diatomaceous earth.....it's the food grade, not the kind you use for pools & spas. That is the important thing FOOD GRADE. I read up a lot about it and it really interested me. You really don't want to know what I was reading & how I got on to diatomaceous earth. It'll just gross ya out, but if you are interested, send me a message. :) I want to do another 365 project, as I said in the past I will continue to do so as long as I can. So I'm trying to think of what kind of project to do for 2015. I might just stick with another random 365, as I really enjoyed the random things life brought everyday. So maybe you can see some of my journey with that? I'm kinda scared to go really healthy....we are horrible with cravings sweets. :/

ELLO!!

Day 361: It Came!! It Finally Came!!

Kwintyn's car finally came!! After 3 phone calls to customer service, I finally got his damn car!! I ordered this thing a month ago!!! He was so excited!!! I'm still sick. Sinuses, fever, body aches, sore throat, it sucks. I hope nobody else gets it.

Day 360: Blue Water

Kwin was so excited to have a bath tonight! He had color change fizzers to use!! WOW!!! IT'S  BLUE!!! :D I'm sick now.....BOO!!!!!! Thank heavens Frank is being so kind, and helpful.

I realize I am some how missing some days.....I'm coming up 3 days short?!?!

Day 359: Another Christmas

We usually have Christmas with Frank's Grandparents & Family on Christmas eve, but it didn't work out for a few people, and this day did, so we celebrated today. They always have a White Elephant gift exchange and that is always fun. You sit in a big circle, and grandma reads  this story, and every time you hear the word, left or right, you would pass the gift you picked from a pile, before finding your seat. Example: Mrs. Wright was left making the decision, and she hoped it was the right one....Ya get it? LOL It's quite a story, and at the end you open the gift you end up with, and then you can trade with others if liked. It's fun, and Kwin was just a giggling while playing. Chelsea got to hang with her cousin, she just loves hanging with her! They of course had fun, even if she isn't smiling.

Also he doesn't have the flu....I kinda figured that....and they were late calling..grr.

Day 358: Now The Fun Just Begins!

All those toys and some need to be assembled.....DUN.. DUN..DUN!!! Thomas the train set, how easy some would say. We tried to set it up Christmas day, but we were to frustrated, and well it's Christmas day! So we sat down and sorted the pieces....my idea, and by golly, it was a little bit easier!! LOL Still had  to maneuver some pieces around, but we got it!

Day 357: Merry Christmas!!

From our Family to Yours, Merry Christmas. May it be filled with wonder, happiness, hope, beauty, laughter, & love.

Day 356: Santa's Coming!!!

It's Christmas Eve!!! Kwin seems to be doing a little better today. Still no word from the Dr's office this morning, I called, and they are suppose to call back. We have Christmas with Frank's Mom & Step Dad today. We are having a brunch, too. Still haven't got Kwin's car yet. Kids got to open their annual Christmas Eve present, this year they were all smiles.....Weird. hahaha I want to do a photo shoot with Kwin & Chels in their new p.j.'s. They seemed to like their jammies, and even thought this year we had no movie, not a lot of treats that we included in to the box. They still seemed to actually like what they got!! :O I wanted to get Chelsea or Kwin, depending on sizes available an elf & Santa p.j.'s, but they didn't have Chelsea's size. And all the other cute jammies were sold out of her size too. Soooo...I got her boys p.j.'s.....SSSHHHHH!!!! LOL!!!! They look unisex to me. They do fit a little boxy in the shoulders......sshh!! lol I just thought it would make a cute photo shoot with her jammies, and then Kwin in his.

Day 355: Sick....Ick!

Kwin's not feeling well. :( Took him to the Dr's today, they think he has Influenza a. Took a nose swab, and had them sent out on stat order, so we could get the Tamiflu if needed. I didn't think he had the flu, I just thought cold & sinuses. Poor guy! I didn't get a photo for today. :( Not doing so well towards the end here.

Day 354: Hearty Pancakes

Aww how sweet? Frank made pancakes today, and I got the special one! LOL! Been super busy!! Today's dinner was easy mainly because it's about the only thing we have in the house right now. Pancakes, and sausage. Can never go wrong with breakfast. :)

Day 353: Wrapping

I am almost done wrapping gifts!! I am almost done shopping too, except we ran out of money. :( Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that Kyle almost had an E.R trip last night! He got this para cord cutter stuck on his finger!! Luckily Frank got it off using his Dremel. His finger looks kinda gross, it's got missing skin....Eww!! And it's not because of the dremel tool, it was from the wear of him pulling on it to get it off.

Day 352: Happy 4th Birthday Kwintyn!!!

Ahhh!!! I can't believe my baby boy is four!!!! I cried last night. Hahaha Oh, just so bittersweet. His 4 years seem to have gone by much more faster than the other kids, I'm not sure if it's the fact that I know he's my last? I'm sure that is. But Four!!! Just does not seem possible!!! We had his party today, too, and he was super excited about that. I was bummed because hardly anyone came to his party. Only 1 kid showed up, and Kwin didn't even know him, so he made a new friend. He's Kyle's buddy's little brother, they got a long so well. I notice Kwin gets along with older kids rather than the younger ones. He fights more with them it seems...LOL Everything turned out great.....until it came to the food. Frank forgot to pick up the pizza when he dropped Kyle off a t work....yeah, Kyle missed his party. :( Then the crock pot was on high, and the hotdogs blew up. Thank goodness the In-Laws were not through town yet, so they saved the day & picked up pizza & hotdogs. Kwin had a fun time, and likes everything he got...so far. His gift from us is STILL not here, but I just got the message it has finally shipped. So he's expecting a big package in the mail. :)


I made a bunch of signs up and had them on the wall. I stole a lot of the boys decor from their room, car stuff.

 Service with a smile...:)

 He had a road, too!

 Air Station, blowing up balloons.

 Can you make it home? Kinda like pin the tail on the donkey, but hey had to get the cars close to our home town.

 Kwin's cake!!

 Make a wish!!

 Frank made a gas pump out of boxes, I made the signs. :) Pretty awesome!!

 More signs around the house, I had a phone & rest rooms sign, and a few others.

 Kwin loves his pump, and his pump he got for his present...like I said still waiting on half.

Day 351: Last Day Being Three!!!

Today is Kwintyn's last day of being a 3 year old, when he wakes up tomorrow he will be FOUR YEARS OLD!!!! Today was a busy day. Frank had his Christmas party for work, and then we needed to go shopping for stuff for Kwin's party. Well I ended up having a few too many drinks.....shopping was quite fun, and short. Because you know the list I had made....yeah I forgot it at home!!! We of course forgot a few things....can you believe that?! lol Kwin had fun with Grandma. My Mom watched him, and Chels. She told me she gained 20 pounds since September!!! I was SO HAPPY to hear that! She is still tiny, 108, but better than 88!! She even got on Kwin's tractor & had a bump N run with him. I guess he was just a laughing. :D

Day 350: Things to Get....

I always have lists going, and different kinds. I am a list person!! I have to have a list, or my mind crumbles. I'm so detailed oriented with them too! It's kinda ridiculous. This is a crappy list. lol

Day 349: Cake Topper

Was SO excited when Kwin's cake topper arrived. I was worried it wouldn't get here in time. I searched all over for a gas pump & I found some cute ones, but the shipping was outrageous!! So I went with a playlet instead. he can play with it after, too, so he is SUPER excited for that! I tried to think of decorations that would or could make good gas station decor. I searched all over, and then found a blue & red chevron stripe napkins, ext. PERFECT!!!! So that is our color scheme, and it matches the Chevron station!! WINNING!!

Day 348: White Elephant!!

Tis the season for the White Elephant Christmas! We do one at Frank's grandma's & I do one with some girlfriends. I went through my jewelry box, and found some things. Some things were brand new! My Mother in Law is always buying me jewelry, and I never wear it. :/ I really liked this necklace though! haha I just never wear jewelry.

Day 347: Birthday Stuff

Kwin was excited to see that some of his birthday party supplies had come in the mail today. He was especially excited for the car that are going in his goodie boxes. :D

Day 346: Tired Boy

Kwin was a tired boy today! He looks so sweet, and calm sleeping. LOL

Day 345: New Toys!

Kwintyn just had to spend his money that he got from Seth. Didn't help that we were picking out a toy for a birthday party. he spent it wisely & spent half of it. ;) He bought a garbage truck. They have a pretty cool series of these trucks out. Under $10, too! Thanks buddy!

Day 344: A Card, For Me?!

Kwintyn got a card in the mail from his best buddy! He was super excited to see that he had sent a picture with Santa. He had fun with his card, it was an activity kind. He made a cake. :)

Day 343: Babysitting!

I got to babysit today for baby Jaxon again. He's so sweet! My arms were killing me alter that evening, I forgot how heavy babies can really be! lol Kwintyn showed Jaxon his Baby's 1st ornament, that was a bell. Jaxon seemed to like it. :) Kwin held a baby for the first time today, too!

Day 342: Christmas Concert

Chelsea had her school christmas program today. I don't think she sang much. LOL Kwin was a good boy, and liked the show. He almost got eaten up by the chairs....think movie theatre seats....hahaha Not the best pics, but oh well. Should have took my zoom lens...I always forget it!
