random tidbits #4 - facebook style

i think i'm a week late on doing my random facebook status update post. i was trying to do it every other week. but i had a TON to copy and paste. so i selected the best of the bunch. and yes, these really are the best. lol!

sit down and hold on to your chair, people. i just finished up all 5 projects that are due on friday. yes, friday. i'm 4 days early. if you know my procrastinating self, you'd know that i would usually be starting these projects the day before they're due. yay me!

why does blogging take soooooooooooooo long sometimes?!?! and yes, that was me whining ;)

the van is in the repair shop today. we were told the fix would be "pricey", as in "i'm not even going to give you a quote, because it's SO high". i'm dreading that phone call, with the damage.

note to self. always check your electronic tools and software needed for assignments ahead of time. went to start my layout that's due tomorrow, and realized something isn't working. i can't do anything without it.

the boy is all over the place this morning. not technicall crawling. but finally scooting around, rolling around, and just roaming the place in general. can i change my mind now, and ask him to just sit in one spot on the floor ;)

so glad that my kiddo work week is done. now i can get serious about my scrapping work stuff. trying out this new concept about staying organized and ahead of the deadlines ;)

 
i "borrowed" this photo from my friend deneen, who had a better seat than me ;)

i'm a night owl, and always stay up super late. after the concert last night, it was still technically early for me, and it's not like i missed my bedtime. but i'm sooooo exhausted this morning. luckily, the little ones are playing very nicely together. i owe them a good snack later :)

whatever the boy just did in the bedroom, wasn't even long enough to be considered a "nap". i'm only going to let it slide, because now i can line up his next nap with the girlie's naptime ;)

my family is coming over for dinner tonight for alyssa's birthday, and i have NO clue what i'm cooking yet. do you think i could get away with reheating the 3 meals i made today, that the little ones didn't even touch?!?!

 

‎3 soccer games this morning. alyssa's team played a double header, and won both games. sarah's team played one game, and won. they each scored a goal and had an assist or two. great job today, arsenal and blue thunder!!!

‎5 hours ago, i was good. now i'm sick and down for the count. i would like to thank my lovely daughter, sarah, for sharing her cold with me. love her willingness to share ;)

 

the boy picked up on this crawling thing, and is now moving full steam. he's also pulling himself up, and cruising around the furniture. even going from table to couch, and couch to table. letting go and trusting that he'll make it. i think i might be in trouble soon. lol!

a huge thanks to the little ones, for such an excellent naptime. i'm feeling 85% over this cold, and that extra quiet time really helped boost me up to 90% :)

 
an older photo of nikolas and haley, from the last time the gate was up. gosh, we miss them.

for the first time in forever, i had to put up the baby gate on the stairs again. i just know that the family is going to be super excited about this. i know how much we have all missed crawling over that gate every time we need to go up or down the stairs (said sarcastically, in case you don't know me well ;)).

a certain someone took it upon herself to open the bedroom door, go inside, and wake up the sleeping boy. another certain someone isn't very happy about that.

 

the weekend has begun. 2 soccer practices tonight, and alyssa's playing in the band at the varsity football game. 2 early soccer games tomorrow, and then alyssa's 14th birthday party. busy, busy.

 

took 8 of alyssa's best friends to boomers yesterday for her birthday party. go-kart racing, rock wall climbing, laser tag, arcade games, and bumper boats. they skipped the mini golfing. such a great group of kids, and they had a blast.

 

just finished a project for Little Light Studio using fabric and my old school foam stamps. completely stressed me out, so i hope everyone likes it ;)

i have done everything today, EXCEPT the stuff that i was originally supposed to do.

amazing how long you can keep a 9 month old entertained, if you just toss a handful of puffs his way every few minutes ;)

can today be any more boring? nope. it can't.

the boy woke up from his nap. so the girl went and dragged out his car seat, found her "animal book", got her barbie keys, and found the boy his cars keys. she must think it's time to go get alyssa from school. too bad we still have 4 hours until we make that trip. lol!

from the sounds of it, my crock pot is going to blow any second. lol!

i have a love/hate relationship with candy corn.

I love when you have your f/b posts, so funny to read. Starts my morning with some laughs, thank you laura. I hope today is a better day for you. I was just thinking about this little guy and wondering how old he is now, but didn't think he was this old. Didn't you just post about him this summer and he was just an infant???? I remember that crawling/scooting stage fun for them but hard on us. I laughed at the baby gate, it is huge how do you climb over that thing??? I have one too for my baby cousin but it's only about half the size of yours??? Seriously how do you get over it??? You take great soccer photos of your girls. I wish mine of Sam's were better. I don't know how you stay up late doing all you do I'd crash at 9 everynight.Thanks for sharing, have a good weekend.

Can't wait to see what you've done with the fabric. And speaking of candy corn ... I've loved it since I was little, for some reason, this year I'm just not digging it.

I love your facebook posts! You always have something interesting to read! LOL
Love your snapshots, and cannot wait to see what was created out of the fabric!!!
enjoy the day!

ps. I also have a love/hate relationship with candy corn! LOL

Great post! Hey, if you ever need a great place to get your car fixed, give Philips Automotive a try! They have been so good to us- honest (as far as I can tell!) and very reasonable!

Love these posts! I'm usually good about your updates but find that I miss a few here & there & like to catch up! Can't wait to see the fabric/stamp project...I bet it was worth the effort! And I will gladly send you all my candy corn...never liked it...never will... ;)
