Cloudy Sunday

Good morning,
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Ours has been pretty nice,today Todd is at work so the girls and I are back to our normal Sunday activities. Right now the girls are playing the xbox360 and I am working on laundry and knitting.

Shelbie has been wearing her glasses without any problems.She looks so cute,I will post a picture. Elizabeth had a great week in school,for the past few days she has been dealing with allergies,but I think she is over the worst of it.

Not a lot going on today,I think I am going to get some more coffee and sit down and work on Todd's blanket some more since I have not found the yarn for the other 2. I am hoping payday i will be able to get the yarn to finish up other 2.

Well have a grreat Sunday and have a great week!!!!!!!!!

Shelbie's Eye Doctor Appointment

Good Afternoon
This morning we took Shelbie to the eye doctor because she did not pass part of the vision screening at school. Shelbie did very well she only got upset when they put the drops in her eyes. Miss Shelbie is fair sighted with astigmatism. She has to wear class all day when at school, but if she is at home she only has to wear them to color, read, or when she is watching TV. Shelbie picked out these really pretty bluish/purple glasses and is excited about them. her glasses should be ready in about a week.

Not much else is going on I am just knitting(started on Todd's), while I try to find the other yarn I need(Having trouble finding the dye lots). Plus I have been doing a little reading. Well I guess I should run for now so we can go get Elizabeth from school. Have a great day!!!!!!!!!

It's Sunday and Todd is off !!!!!!!!!

HI HI
I am so excited that it is Sunday and Todd is off. It is really nice to have him home on a Sunday. Well, it is sunny and really nice outside,I think it is suppose to get up to around 78 today. The girls are doing good this morning, they are just watching some cartoons.

Yesterday I went to my BeautiControl class and had a blast.I learned a lot more about our skin care and spa products. Tonya(sis-in-law)took me to lunch yesterday and we had a good time.We ate at Ruby Tuesdays, really good food!! While I was at beauty class Todd took the girls to Chucky Cheese,then kite flying. He said they all had a good time- I am really glad. Yesterday was the first time in a very long time that I have been some where without the girls or Todd . It felt good to be Victoria for a little while instead of just Mom. But I was so happy to see the girls when I got home.They were so excited to tell me every thing they did and I could not stop smiling at them as they told me about their adventure with their Daddy.

Shelbie goes to the eye doctor tomorrow morning, she is a little excited but still a little unsure. Lizzie finished up her Benchmark testing last week and she is so glad it is over.

This past Friday I bought some more yarn, I could not find the yarn I needed for the 2 afghans I am working on, so I bought some other yarn for other afghans I will start after the first 2 afghans. I bought blue and silver for Todds and some yarn that red,orange,yellow,blue,green and purple for anafghan for Shelbie. Because I decided that the green and blue I am working on now will go to my mom as one of her birthday presents in July. I willpost pictures of the new yarn some time this week.

Well I am going to go for now so I can start the girls laundry. Happy Knitting and Happy Reading!!!!!

Knitting Progress

Howdy

Well it is Tuesday and the girls are at school. This week Elizabeth is taking her Benchmark test,I am sure she will do great( she usually scores above her grade). Shelbie is having a good week so far on May 2nd we have parent/teacher conferences, so she will be off from school that day.

Here are some updated pictures of the 2 afghans I am working on.I think on friday I am going to need to get more yarn for both afghans.
Plus I am going to to pick out some more yarn for some other afghans I am going to start. I think Iam starting to get addicted to knitting-lol.

I started reading Murder Runs in the Family by Anne George. It is really funny so far and I am looking forward to reading it. This is the 3rd book inthe series and the other 2 were funny and the mystery was just as great.

Well I am going to run for now, think I might take a little nap, I did not sleep to well last night. Happy reading and knitting.

Finshed book #1 for April

Hi Hi
I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far. Ours has been pretty good, it has been on the chilly side the past couple of days and now it looks like it could rain. The girls are doing good, Lizzie is just reading a harry potter book and Shelbie is watching Spongebob Squarepants. Todd is at work so the girls and I are just doing our normal Sunday stuff.

I actually finished a book last night. I finished Two Down by nero Blanc. Here is a little aboout the book(got from amazon)
The case of two women lost at sea off Nantucket interferes with the burgeoning romance of crossword puzzle editor Belle Graham and her beau, PI Rosco Polycrates, in this second engaging crossword mystery from Blanc (The Crossword Murder). A wealthy investment banker, Tom Pepper, calls in Rosco after Newcastle, Mass., fishermen tow into the harbor the charred hulk of the sailboat rented by Tom's wife, Genie, and her famous actress friend, Jamaica Nevisson. The distraught Tom is convinced that the man who rented Genie the sailboat was negligent. While Rosco investigates the rental agent and the Coast Guard searches for the women, Belle begins to receive ominous crossword puzzles. The first one insinuates through pointed clues that something dire has happened to Jamaica. Rosco thinks Belle is imagining links to his case, until he finds human blood in the fishermen's boat. Then the missing women's inflatable life raft surfaces on a remote beach, well above the tide line and with a large gash in its side. Rosco fears for Belle's safety, since later puzzles not only suggest their constructor is watching both of them closely but contain veiled personal threats. Clever, charming Belle and meticulous, plodding Rosco have to hustle if they're to prevent a missing persons investigation from turning into a homicide case.

I really enjoyed the book, I have the 3rd one in the series sitting on my bookcase. I am not sure what I will read next I have about 6 or 7 books on my list. I think it either be an Anne George or Monica Ferris book.

I am still knitting away, I think on friday I will have to get some more yarn for both Afghans, plus pick up so other colors so I can start on a couple more afghans. I have not taken new pictures of the the two I am doing now, but i hope to tonight so I can post them this week.

Well I am going to run happy reading and knitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Movie Day

Good Evening
I hope everyone has been having a good week so far. Ours has been really good, today i went with Shelbie's Pre-K class and the rest of the school districts Pre-k classes to the movies. We saw Horten Hears a Who. It was a really cute and funny movie. I can honestly saw all the kids were very good and there was no problems.It was Shelbie's first time to the movies and she had a blast.

I am almost done reading Two down I have about 50 pages left. I gave of on confessions of a shopaholic, I could just not get into. It started off fine then i got bored with it.

Lizzie's blanket is really starting to take shape and i love the pattern the yarn is making.I will post pictures of both blankets tomorrow.

Lizzie has a dentist appointment in the morning to get her teeth clean and to check and see if it is time to take out her spacers. I hope the spacers come out soon, because she is starting to complain that the bottom one is hurting her a lot, so we shall see.

I am going to run for now so I can get some coffee and knit a little bit. Have a great evening!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday Sunday

Hi Hi
I hope everyone is have have great weekend. Ours has been pretty good. Yesterday we took the girls to fly kites, they had a blast and so did Todd and I. I think we are going to make it an every Saturday thing as long the weather is good. Todd is at work so it is just me and the girls, the girls have been watching dvd's this morning. They really like Alvin and the chipmunks(I have to admit I really liked it too-very cute).

I have been reading a little, trying to finish Two Down by Nero Blanc,.I hope to have it finished by Tuesday if not sooner.

This Thursday Luke goes to the vet to get snip snipped. The girls are not to thrilled about Luke not being here,but I promised them it was only for 1 night. Shadow will most likely spend the whole night looking for Luke-lol. We think Shadow thinks that Luke is her puppy, Shadow is very protective of Luke.

Well I will run for now have to start some laundry and figure out what I am going to fix for dinner. Have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rainy Day

HI HI
I hope everyone is having a great Thursday. Today has been good so far, a little rainy this morning but I will take the rain for my flowers. I registered Shelbie for kindergarten this morning and she is excited. She wants to go to big sissy's school now. But I told that she still has to go to Pre-K at Owl Creek. She was okay I love my teachers there-lol. Lizzie is the good apple for her class this week, that really made her day. This is the first time this year that she was the good apple.

Not much else is going on. I am just going to work on knitting and do some cleaning. Todd is off today so the girls are excited. They miss their daddy when he is at work, and everyday they ask does daddy work today. I think they miss his cooking-lol, I am not the best cook, but I try-lol.

Got to run for now my dryer just beeped, so it is off to fold some towels. Happy reading and knitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy April

Good morning

I hope everyone is having a great day. We had some nasty storms yesterday afternoon, thank goodness it waited until after we picked the girls up from school. Sheblie is doing great, she has no more headaches and is back to her old self. Lizzie has a good week so far, no one has bothered her and she is really enjoying going to the library in the mornings before school.

As you can see I have been knitting up a storm. I am working hard on these blankets, the Green/blue one is for Shelbie and the purple/pink one is for Lizzie. I have been getting some reading in when my hands start to hurt.

Right now I am reading Two down by Nero Blanc and Confessions of a shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. Both books are good and I am enjoying them.

This week is kind of a busy week for us. Tomorrow Shelbie has her spring pictures at school. Then on Thursday we register Shelbie for kindergarten at Lizzie school. Plus Friday is parent/teacher conferences at Lizzie school. Both girls are off Friday and neither one of them are
happy about that-lol.Well I guess I will run for now, happy knitting and happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!
