Girls Day Out

I had the best time today, Tom kept the boys and I went shopping with my Mom! It is the first time in way too long that we have been shopping without two little boys in tow. We had lunch, shopped at Marshall's, Target and Best Buy. I have finally convinced my mother that she needs a computer, so she bought a shiny new Mac Notebook, oh how I want one! I looked at new cameras (hint, hint Tom) and bought a few little things for the boys. We are already planning another shopping day. It was so worth the 1 1/2 hour drive to see her. Tom and the boys also had a great day together, when they left this afternoon they all had on matching hats, but were in too big of a hurry to do "guy stuff" to wait for me to get my camera. Have a good week!

Redo #1 and #2

I have been working like crazy this week trying to get my house in order for a candle show on Saturday, there's nothing like inviting people over to make you clean your house. I started upstairs and am working my way down. The first thing that I did was clean the hall bathroom and add a shelf that I found in the playroom, don't ask because I don't know what it was doing there and where it was hiding. Then I added of few things to the upstairs hallway, I love the cabinet that I have there, it was one of the first pieces that I bought after we got married 12 years ago, it is made from the shelves of the original Sears & Roebucks. Also, I have been spraying painting like crazy, but you will have to wait to see the results later on in the week. I hope that everyone has a great day!

Halloween Pictures

We had a great halloween evening, it was the first year that we have made costumes instead of buying them. The boys had so much fun deciding what to wear and how to do their "makeup".

Hopefully, our lives will begin to slow down a little now that everyone is well and able to care for themselves for the most part. I have started to redo my house and will have some great redo's to share with you all this week. Also, I have started listing on ebay again will have lots of little boys clothing, my seller name is mommie!2

Have a great week

Update

I've been so busy for the past few weeks that I have neglected my blog and fellow bloggers, whom I love to visit. My classes have started back, I'm taking 12 credit hours. My son who is in the 4th grade has so much homework that we don't know what to do! Also, he started basketball conditioning practice and that is running my legs off. My youngest son is having a horrible time adjusting to the 2nd grade, he is crying every morning, he's breaking my heart. My husband's grandfather had surgery this week to remove a tumor the size of a softball and three ribs, I have been taking care of him and his wife. Needless to say I have been busy, but I hope to get things back to normal in the coming weeks. I miss reading all of your blogs and I hope to visit soon. Take care and have a great weekend.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a fantastic Labor Day weekend! We spent 3 days at our little Somerset Cottage at Lake Cumberland. It seems as if everyone had the same idea that we had, to spend the holiday at the lake, it was packed, the most boaters that I've seen in twelve years of boating. The water was perfect and the boys had a great time swimming and eating ice cream. On Sunday night my in-laws came in and we spent Monday boating with them. I was sad to come home last night, but I know that we have a few more good weekends of boating before cold weather.

Have a great day!

Hello Lover!

Would you all like to meet my new lover? Well, let me tell you a little about him, he's smooth, dependable and always on time. Are curious? Would like to know his name? His name is none other than Frigidaire, when he moved in he brought two of his best friends, their names are; Fridge and DW, Fridge is every so cool and DW is a little under the weather right now but I'm sure when his new part gets here he will be just as lovely as his friends.

Enough with the Sex in the City innuendos and on to the real stuff, I love my new appliances!!! The stove is amazing and the fridge, oh the fridge. The dishwasher was a special purchase, it was originally $548, Lowe's had marked it down to $300 with all warranties in tack to move it because a valve was bad, I jumped on the chance to have the DW I wanted at the price I could afford, but the bad news is I have to wait another week for the part to arrive and be installed. Let me tell you a little something about myself, I HATE TO HAND WASH DISHES!!! But I know when the new DW is up and running I will appreciate how easy cleaning the kitchen will be. I was so happy when the delivery truck pulled away with my old stove in the back of it, I tipped the drivers, waved goodbye and I haven't looked back.

I hope that everyone is having a great week and thank you to all the bloggers who have stopped by, I enjoy reading the comments and get so excited when I see someone has visited.

Take Care,

Michelle
