I missed a day

So yesterday I didn't post. It was hard on me. Honestly I feel bad posting right now. However I can see all my children that are home so I know it will be okay for a short post. Yesterday was a busy day. See we finally purchased our home. The home we hope to fill with love for a few years to come. My children know we have the house. They are just as excited as mom and dad. However at the same time I spent my time not at the house or with my kids, working on Pumpkin's rag doll costume. I didn't have my sewing machine so my grandmother was kind enough to sew one up for me and ship it. All I had to do was adjust the elastic. And well make her a wig. The costume was due today!! Well here I am still working on the wig. I am hoping to get it done tonight after the small ones are in bed and send it in tomorrow. The more rows I put on the quicker it is going. It is time consuming no matter what. So I may not get in what I was going to talk about tonight. Let's just hope come Tuesday it has all worked out. I am hoping to be able to share what we have done to the house as well soon. Last night my amazing husband and BIL put curtains up on the first floor. They look great. I have pictures of the empty house and most likely I will post the before's and after's of each room in a separate post. We are blessed with all the help we are getting with this house. Soon it will look as nice as my MIL's or my SIL's homes.

Family Pictures

Alright so we are what is considered a big family these days. I am lucky and my photographer loves his subjects as my photographer is my father-in-law (FIL). I had him do some family pictures this month so we could have a cute Christmas card. Our problem is the kids are so young so half the time one or more kid is not looking at the camera and this is often the result. Okay so that is sort of cute. Let's see what else results from a large family. Okay this one is not so bad, other than the face. This is a little better, again so many people and under the lights it can get warm (yes he has professional lights and will have a studio this next year.) At this point. I was sure we were done. However me being mommy we continued on. I did get the shot I wanted. I won't share it, it wasn't perfect, in fact it was less than perfect, however it just screamed this is it. It reminds me of the kids picture with Santa last year, you know one of those moments you just ca

Shopping Fun

Okay so today we were on a mission, you see Tuesday we sign for our new home. The home my husband and I have had built, one we plan to live in for years. The problem, we NEEDED window coverings. After much discussion with each other we decided on curtains in this home, in the end we decided on thermal curtains for many reasons. We wanted it to be noise reducing, black out, thermal curtains. For us we did not care where they came from but we had requirements, They HAD to be at least 84" long, and certain windows they HAD to be 52" wide. We went to 4 stores, we got almost all the windows, we did get all the curtain rods. I won't show pictures of all the curtains we got, you can wait for them to be reviled in each room as I show case them once they are done. We did make a stop between stores for lunch. It was one of our favorite places for lunch, Q-doba. We all have our favorites. The kids really enjoy eating here. However at the end of the meal I was left with the same q

Christmas Crack?

Image
Okay so in January of 2009 I joined a cloth diaper board called Cloth Diaper Nation . I had just found out I was expecting my third child the summer before and after loosing a computer hard drive to Diaper Swappers 's viruses they were having trouble with at the time, I jumped ship for another place to get diapers. See with my second baby I decided I wanted to cloth diaper and just knew I would need loads more diapers after having my third child, and would now have two babies in diapers. I ended up finding the ladies of the board very interesting. I loved that there was no edit button and you had to own what you said there. What I did find strange was their chatter about crack. Heck they even ran a co-op of this crack. I didn't get it at first. I began to understand this was a candy of sorts. So I just pushed it off. So then Christmas came and they were unable to get the co-op run and there were many sad ladies. I again thought nothing of this crack. So this year I am introdu
