Post Sic....

Feb 25, 2012

     Ashley is feeling better today.  We did slow her feeds but nothing came back up.  She wanted to get dressed today and even asked for pigtails so she could wear her two new bows!  She stayed in her room pretty much all day today relaxing and playing.  She loves her TV in her room.  Tyler spent the majority of the day downstairs enjoying that he could do what ever he wanted.  And Kyle stayed upstairs by me reading or doing computer work.  He is grounded for now.  We went no where today but it was nice.  I don't believe we will be out tomorrow either.  I want to finish reading so hopefully I can.  I am just glad Ashley is feeling better again.  It was a good day.

Showing some love for her "Teddy"

Happy Bows!

Kyle's Last Day of Basketball

Feb 23, 2012

     Today was Kyle's last Basketball game and I was able to go watch.  He team may of lost but I can tell that they learned a lot and where a true team.  They each took turns with the ball and did not let one person attempt to scored every time.  It was a great game to watch to let me know that he is paying attention while he is there and it has not just become a social hour.  Tyler has his last game on Tuesday and I will be able to finally watch him play as well.  Tyler says he is on the best team and he is one of the best players!  I tend not to believe him completely but I am glad he thinks it.

Ready for ScHoOl!

Feb 23, 2012

     I am ready to send the kids to school! (LOL)  Thursday seemed like the perfect day for them to go.  Every one was up and ready and off they went.  The boys made their own lunch and Ashley wore her new green bows, I could not save them for Saint Patty's Day!  Not much to do today but just get some work done around the house!

Cheez-its...the snack for lunch!

Ashley loving her new TV!  And so am I.

Of course the picture I get she has her eyes closed.

Need to figure out to to make them stand up more.

Ribbon and Bows

Feb 22, 2012

     Todays project was going thru my huge ribbon pile and actually making it something useful.  I made korker ribbon out of all my spare ribbon!  And also duck tailed some of it for easy fast pinwheels!  It was a productive day.  And in the end I did make two bows!  But I am glad today is almost done.  I am tired!

My mass ribbon project.

Finished korker ribbon

Cut all of my spare ribbon ends.
So I can make pin wheels.

Last batch for today.

Better then I thought....

     While the bow did not turn out exactly like the example (my expectations where high) Ashley was very happy with the bow.  She kept saying thank you and was really into finding the right matching shirt to go with it!  After pay day I will be going to get a few extra things to make another attempt and hopefully master the four individual bows!  Fun Fun!

Crafty!

Feb 20, 2012

     Took some time today to try something new.  First I organized my ribbon!  And then I used some!  I started with bookmarks.  I typically just use tie ribbon around books to make it easier to find your place in one, but started to think about how much ribbon I am actually was wasting.  So I wanted to make an adjustable ribbon bookmark.  Found an excellent picture on Pinterest and took off from there.  The first picture are my new bookmarks!  Then I wanted to make a stacked bow, in which I also found video tutorials!  It did not turn out how I really would of liked it to, but it was my first try on all four of the different bows to make the combined one bow.  Maybe try again tomorrow or actually do some house work!

Love my bookmarks!

Stacked bow, first try!

How to store ribbon!

Matthew's Birthday Party

Feb 19, 2012

     I did not take these pictures and for once was not even at the party!  Tyler was so happy to go to his best friend Matthew's Birthday party at the Superbowl!  He was joined by his classmates!  These pictures are great and I am very happy to add them to my collect and to add this event to Tyler's memory!  Thank you to Matthew for inviting Tyler and hope you had a wonderful birthday!
