Getting things done

 

Littleman no he is not flashing gang signs this is his being spiderman pose.

 

Miracles do happen!

These are my two sets of leap frog ABC sets and two years later we still have all the letters!

Alright confession I had to pull five of them out from under the stove.

Two from my daughters bathroom and one from under my kitchen table.

HAHAHAHAHA 

They are all there now though and that makes me very happy.

 

My adorable albeit dastardly duo!

Prissy is showing off her hair do - she styled it.

While Little man tells mama just how much he loves spiderman.

Did I mention he thinks he's spiderman?

A few weeks ago he pointed to a tiny spider bite on his arm and then signed to us that

now he was going to turn into spiderman!

Love it!

 

Hubby put up my new jewelry box sorry only one photo cut to size yet

We had lots of projects to do today and some will carry over into tomorrow and Sunday

they are just so large that we will need more than one day to accomplish them all.

 

The inside of my new box.

We are redoing our dining area (sounds much fancier than it is)

and also trying to figure out what is causing my dryer to not work

possibly even replacing it.

My beautiful Prissy

 

She is my beautiful little girl - even when she gets bored of posing for me.

We are going to play with photo shop and see what back grounds we can put her in.

Today she just felt like dressing up and not wanting to miss a good photo op... well here it is.

Little man refused any inducement to hold still and have a picture taken so I will just have to wait for a day he likes the camera.

Some days he does others he doesn't.

Yesterday's mystery picture was this handy storage crate.

I have two for each child and two for me.

Love them!

Mystery Picture

 

Here is the first close up

  

And now the second.

This is an item that I have six of in my home. In three different colors.

Absolutely no prize to the winner save bragging rights.

;)

Yes this is a fluff blog, no I don't plan on doing a lot of these.

It just fit my mood for today.

When it rains we drink tea!

 

The rain

Its been raining ALL day!

I love the sound of rain hitting the metal roof of my two porches.

 

Lets talk tea!

Here in this picture we have my personal favorite Market Spice Tea

Market Spice takes center stage

On the sides we have IKEA's Blueberry and Raspberry and Vanilla

Blueberry here is the winner

the Raspberry and Vanilla came off a little weak.

Blueberry is very worth drinking.

Market Spice Tea is natural with no preservatives.

It must be stored properly if you get the 1lb loose leaf which I recommend then it needs to 

be stored in the freezer or fridge in a glass container to be kept fresh.

 

Mint always the old standby

 

Also a very good comfort tea

 

This is a "flowering tea" they have sewn petal together so that when it gets wet and warm it opens up into a full bloom.

DUD

Oh did I say dud? Yep, first off do not and I repeat do not pour the hot water on top of this delicate little thing.

It makes the flower very ugly.

Second add in a tea that you want to taste along with this water pretty

because you can't taste this -seriously weak tea!

 

On to Coconut Mango Oolong tea

Yummy!

 

This leads me to Coconut Cocoa Tea.

A new favorite of mine.

Yes I have lots more teas I could add to this blog but they are more in the average normal everyday range.

I recommend to any tea lovers the Market Spice and the Coconut Cocoa tea.

The runner up spice would be Blueberry from IKEA.

A day in the life of me

 

Today I have decided to blog a day in the life of me. 

The rich and famous are used to magazines wanting to follow them around for a day.

One day in the life of so and so.

Really? Who cares what a multimillionaire does with all his time? 

Seriously as I cook, clean and write that is not the first thing on my mind.

So before I sell my books, before I get mildly well known (I can dream right?)

I would like to share a day in my life - my ordinary everyday lower class life.

Today we did the following items while listening to the classic and beautiful vocal stylings of Zooey Dechanel, in the group She & Him vol 1 (vol 2 is for sale but we don't have it yet - never fear we will).

 

Pissy did homework

Little man said all of his ABC's as well as signed them all!

Then hubby took the kids into the kitchen for a crafting project.

Beading!

While I took on my less glamorous job

Never fear I have a dishwasher close at hand!

Soon all was well.

Sorry I have an ugly sink -it's clean just really really cheap.

After I announced dinner hubby joined in the beading party to make me a pretty.

Yes Little man is in a diaper - sorry he's potty training and half the time he forgets to put back on his pants.

Eggs, salt, pepper, cheese and onion

Add that to a tortilla, a little more cheese and some sausage...

What you get is a little piece of heaven!

Prissy finishes up the necklace she made for her best friend.

Did I ever mention that my daughter gets more pleasure in giving things away then getting them?

She shares everything!

Love it!

She is wearing a dress her grandmother made for her birthday last year.

My new pretty that my hubby made me!

8 years later and I still want to keep him!

Now I am eating my good food while my children play next door. They of course had to run next door to give the new necklace to the best friend.

I will now continue working on the end of book three happy in the fact that something got done today.

Thumb Toe

 

Prissy is adorable!

She just told her papa that she hurt her big thumb toe!

Love it!

How I garden

 

New wind chimes!

Yeah I should just never be allowed to shop sales with Margie!

Although I will say I love it!

 

My onions before transplanting 

 

 

My sweet peas before transplanting

Didn't they just grow amazing!

The table workstation as I transplanted my plants to larger containers.

Little man "helping" Mama transplant just chillin in his upside down carseat

while eating his chips.

Onions after transplant

Cross your fingers with me and pray they make it!

Sugar Snap Peas container one

Sugar Snap Peas container two.

So everything I plant must remain in tubs - veggie wise or its not allowed.

Unless I wanted to plant behind my house which of course is almost year round full shade.

Have I ever mentioned that I hate my mobile home park?

OR that for the 4th time in four years they raised the monthly rates on us.

I can not wait to publish my book and buy a house!

My only sorrow is I have to finish editing, finding a agent and then of course publishing the book before that happens.

Sob sob... to bad I don't have a huge fan base that wants to buy me a house.

I guess I am just not that funny.

Will blog later I have to finish my chores now. 

Dishes

Vacuuming

Laundry

Folding cloths

Cleaning kids after chasing and dragging them inside the house
