There lived a princess....

Once upon a time in a far away land, there lived a princess. Not just any princess, but a beautiful princess...well what is a story without a beautiful princess, ugly princess would not work, so back the story. This princess didn't know how to climb out of bed, so she slipped and fell and hit her beautiful face on her bed rail and had to get a stitch to close up the hole that her beautiful teeth made in her beautiful lip. Now our princess has a big fat purple lip with a black stitch that is holding it shut. She is such a brave princess because she only cried when they gave her the shot to numb her lip, and then she shut her eyes so tight she didn't have to watch the Dr stitch up her beautiful lip. Now that she is sleeping soundly with the help from prince Motrin. Lets hope that she will not have any peas that will keep her up all night. The very tired Queen will be so happy to start a new day tomorrow. Everything can get to normal. Lets hope.....

Trick-or-Treating

Tricks or Treats

Isaac is a vampire who killed Christian Brown the missionary and stole his name tag, Aaron was Frankenstein, and Nicole was a Princess.
The kids are so excited for the trunk-n-treat.

The boys really loved there candy, they counted every piece and Aaron put them in piles.

Nicole decided that Oakley needed to be part of the fun.

Something really great came out of this Halloween. Isaac and Aaron got suits that they promises me they would wear to church. Today was the first day and they did great.We went to a friends house for a party. The kids had so much fun. Nicole and her friend Noelle (who was a Turkey Princess, (Turkish princess) did a swap of candy. Well Noelle did the swap and Nicole profited from it.

All the kids went T-o-T and when we were done the hostest had all the kids go through there candy and pick out any thing they didn't like. Then the unwanted candy was put in the middle of the circle and all the kids picked out 2 candies at a time until all the unwanted candy was gone.

Yeah it is November!

That is what we heard on our way to church this morning. Aaron was in the back seat so excited. He is counting down the days until he is 7. Nicole will also be turning 4 this month. She is so excited. We have had a full month and are so excited for the next month to come. I know I said that I would up date you on my food storage rack, I will as soon as Christian is done with base boards. That project has taken over the garage, but it will look so nice when they are done.

Isaac is so excited to be in cub scouts. He loves to wear his uniform, unlike his dad who wanted to run away from home when he was a cub scout.

These are my friends that do a fun trip to San Francisco each year. We decided that it was time to go so we went shopping, got pedicures, and then went out to dinner. It was so much fun.

Nicole is so cute. I took her to Disney on Ice. She loved all the princesses and could not stop watching. It was fun to see the show with her friends.

Nicole's Pre-School class went to the pumpkin patch. This pumpkin patch is great, it has a lot for the kids to do and the best part is that it is free during the week. The boys got to come because they are off track.

Gluten Free!

Anyone who is looking to go gluten free or is already gluten free, here is a blog that I stumbled upon. http://glutenfreemommy.com/

I hope this helps.

New Storage!

I am so excited that I am getting New Food Storage shelving. I was at the "Time Out for Women" and they had an incredible deal on the Shelf Reliance shelves. If you bought 2 you got an incredible deal and it was with free shipping. They also threw in the 4 side shelves and the top rack for free. I will post pics as I get done putting it together. Did I say I was so excited.

What is your house made of?

We have an on going project that will be done in the next month. Christian is working on replacing all the base boards in our house. I am so excited. This past week he did the living room base boards.

Well, while I was vacuuming out the space where the new base boards were going to go, I found something interesting in our wall. It was a soda can, the person who built our home left in the wall. I thought it was interesting, and wondered what other things they left us. But at least 10 years later the can is empty of all liquid that could have been in it. Nicole thinks it is funny that her house is made of soda cans.

What is it about eating dinner!

Tonight I made a easy dinner. It is Sunday and unless we have company for dinner I just don't feel like going all out for a dinner. I do that most of the week. We had bake potato's and toppings for dinner. Everyone thought it was great. I loved that all I had to do was get the toppings ready while the potato's cooked.

Nicole is really funny about eating dinner. She will look at her plate and tell us that she can't eat part of her dinner because it is yucky. Tonight she did it and she had 3 piles of potato. 2 of the piles she was able to eat, while the 3rd and smallest pile was the yucky pile. I just had to take a picture of it because I know when she gets older she will not believe us when we tell her. We took a picture of her with her plate and she ate the 2 larger piles but the yucky pile just could not be eaten. You can all understand right. Who wants to eat yucky food.
