Friday Stuff!

Happy Friday!!
It's been quite the week. Jaelyn was sick last friday & into the weekend then, Abbie was sick as well and THEN for the past 2 days I've been sick! It's so fun when it gets passed around. Ugh! I think I've sprayed everything with Lysol at least 20 times each. Let's hope it goes away!

We were suppose to have mediation yesterday which was cancelled. Apparently all parties were not able to attend. This is the 3rd time it has been cancelled, I'm just begining to think it's not meant to be. All part of the plan....

I did get to work on Valentine's yesterday for the girls & their friends! I will showcase them to you all later... they are really cute! I really do like Valentine's Day and not just because I'm married and have a permanent Valentine.. it's more because it's a day of love. And doesn't this world need more of that?? Well, I think it does! I like the hearts, and mushy stuff and everyone (for the most part) happy and just that feeling of love everywhere. It's nice. That isn't to say we should all run out and buy candy & flowers & such on just this day but... it's nice to have a day devoted to love! Perhaps there should be more of them throughout the year!

Tonight I get another girls night out! Going to basket/bag Bingo again! Woohoo! I hope I win a new bag or a pretty new basket filled with good stuff! Either way, it's a night out with some girls and just a good time.

Tomorrow night is date night with hubby! We are going out with friends.. unsure of what we are doing yet (but isn't it fun when things are all planned out!?). We will see where the night takes us! Should be fun!

I hope all of you enjoy your weekend!!

5 Question Friday


1. Would you rather be on ABC's Extreme Home MakeOver or TLC's What not to Wear?
I'd have to say Extreme Home Makeover. Not that our house is falling apart or so bad we can't live in it like some I've seen on this show nor are we in anyway deserving of a makeover like everyone they pick for this show, which is so fabulous! BUT... have you SEEN the houses they build? GORGEOUS! Just gorgeous! I'd love for my girls to have their own rooms decorated perfectly for them and so on... I just think the house would be more for everyone instead of just myself. Not that a makeover with new clothes, hair, etc. wouldn't be nice either!

2. Do you have any tattoos?
Yes, just one. A little dragonfly on top of my right foot. I've only had it for a few years, too. I do not see myself as getting anymore either. I might add to the dragonfly once the adoption is final with something representing both the girls but.. we'll see!

 
3. Do you tell your kids about things you did growing up?
Not too much right now. Jaelyn got a few games that I played as a kid.. like Memory and I tell her I played it when I was little like her. Perhaps I will share more (or not) when they are older?

4. If the traffic signal turns yellow, do you stop or speed up?
I am notorious for speeding up. Unless the girls are in the back seat, then I slow down. I have a big of a heavy foot!

5. What's your preference: chocolate or chips?
CHOCOLATE!

Skywatch Friday

I took a walk with my hubby yesterday afternoon after being sick & on the couch for 2 days.
I needed some fresh air! It was quite chilly but it was a beautiful day... we realized we need to do more walking thru the woods & take the girls along. It's free, it's healthy, it's exercise and it was actually fun!

{The Jeep was our ride, lol... boys & their toys. *shakes head*}

Look Out Lancaster!!!
 

My Mom, My Sister, My Sister-In-Law and I are heading to Lancaster this weekend to do some shopping, have some girl time and just enjoy ourselves! We are picking up my Mom's Best Friend, Val who lives in Pa and makes the trip down for Thanksgiving every weekend. I can hardly wait to hit the outlets, spend some money & find some great bargains! I've already started SOME Christmas shopping but I'm hoping to get more of it done. What is even sweeter is that all the Dad's are keeping the kiddos so it's truly "Mommy's Day Out" for all of us! (Well, except my Mom & her BFF but hey.. they love us!). Not that I don't love spending time with my girls but they aren't quite at the I love shopping stage, so it's not fun dragging them from store to store when they would much rather be home watching Toy Story 3 with Daddy (that's the bribe for the weekend, haha!).

Anyways, so super excited! So, here we come Lancaster!!!

FRIDAY!!!

I am quite happy its finally Friday! YAY!
It's been a pretty rough week or so around our house... the girls were sick, hubby & I were sick. Now we are dealing with runny noses and don't even get me started on what the time change did (extra hour of sleep? RIGHT!).


There really isn't much planned for the weekend. Jaelyn has dance tomorrow morning and then my very good friend, Brenda is coming down our way for a visit. I'm excited to catch up with her!

And now for a little Friday Blog Hopping fun!!

    More Time Needed

There just are not enough hours in the days for me! Sometimes I just feel like if I had a few extra hours I could go so much more accomplished. I enjoy being a working Mom (nothing against those of you who aren't!), I enjoy my job for the most part but when I get home it's like the evening zooms by! My Hubby, the wonderful man that he is, cooks dinner mostly every single night and we will share clean-up duties. But usually after dinner is when my guilt kicks in... do I go manage some laundry? Do I clean up the house a bit? Put away last weeks folded clothes that are still on the washer? But then if I do I feel so mad at myself for not just sitting down and playing with Jaelyn & Abbie for a little bit before bath & bed time. Hubby & I also share bath time - and then after baths we all settle down in the living room to watch Barney or Caillou or whatever the girls choose for the night. They are both normally in bed before 8:30pm - don't ask how I got so lucky. The funny part is they will ASK to go to bed! After they are in bed, I can usually do a few things but then I also want a little hubby time and time to unwind myself maybe with a book or one of my favorite tv shows. I guess I just need to find a happy balance somehow and not feel so guilty because at the end of the day as long as I hear "I love you, Mommy. Good night".. everything is right in the world! 

Here are a few other fun blog hops I joined up with today... be sure to check them out!

Wordish Wednesday






  Abbie getting reading to go down the slide! I love that I could capture her anticipating facial expression! I turned the photo black & white because I just think sometimes those colors are timeless, just like her adorable little face.


Jaelyn being a big girl & helping Daddy with the BIG rake! I'm not sure when she became so independent or how I missed it, so when she wants to cuddle up with Mommy on the couch after Sissy has gone to bed, I soak it all up!

Check out these blogs for more awesome Wordless Wednesday Pictures & a little hopping:

Your Three Words




Please stop over, link up & share your three words!

My three words are:
Mommy's Night Out


Yes! Tonight I get to go to Basket/Bag Bingo with my dear Sister-In-Law, Noel. I can't wait! This isn't regular old Bingo either. Instead of winning money (which would be ok, too!) you win either Vera Bradley Bags or Longaberger Baskets. OH YES! Right down my alley, thank you very much! Besides that, I enjoy the company, a night out and being hecklers when someone else wins, ha!
WISH ME LUCK!!
