Crafts

I've been working on a few crafts, which I will post about this weekend! I'm feeling crafty!! ;-)
I just love fall! I made pumpkin bread for the first time this season last Friday night. I was planning on sharing with friends and co-workers, but I tasted it and got selfish. Oops!
I am so excited about Halloween! Dave and I are going to a costume party after we take K trick-or-treating.

This and That

Hey, it's been awhile, huh? Life is just so crazy! This weekend, we are looking forward to a playdate. When I had Kylie, I searched for playgroups in the area. I only found SAHM playgroups and playgroups for older kids. Kylie is very tiny and I am a first time mother (overprotective and nervous about everything), so I wasn't about to join.
Instead, I made my own for 2006 babies only! I put it on Cafemom and people joined! It was wonderful at first.... then people stopped coming. But all that is going to change this weekend! Seven people are saying they are coming!! That is more than we've had in a long, long time. I am so excited! We are going to the zoo.
There is a arts and crafts fair that day too. I hope to go for a little while before we go to the zoo. Yeah, let's see how that works out! I can hear it now - "Mama, this isn't the zoo! Nooooooo!". We'll see! ;-)
It's finally fall in Louisiana! I'm baking pumpkin bread this weekend. It's time!

UPDATE: My Maw Maw is doing well. They will hopefully be moving her to the nursing home on Monday. Keep praying!

Grrr...

Okay, I wrote a very long post yesterday, but it has seemed to have disappeared!
Everything is a big crazy right now. My Maw Maw is still in the hospital and it looks as though she will not be returning to the nursing home. My dad has been up here with his brother and sister making arrangements.
Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers.

Cleaning and other stuff

Soooo, the Sunday Challenge on Somewhat Simple is about cleaning this month! Wow, I really picked a month to join in, huh? This Sunday her challenge for the week is the kitchen! I'll start in a few days.
Today, it's my birthday! And I'm sick. Wonderful. Also, my Maw Maw is in the hospital and I'm really stressed about that. Please pray for her!
I'm thinking I'm going to do my kitchen on Saturday, before we go out to celebrate my birthday!

Creativity Time!

I just signed up for the Challenge on Somewhat Simple! Each Sunday, she posts a crafty challenge for the week. I'm going to start this Sunday - I'm so excited!
I absolutely love this blog! Go check it out: http:somewhatsimple.blogspot.com/

Pictures from last weekend!

She's had a camera shoved in her face so often since birth, she's an old pro! That fake picture smile!

It was Paw Paw's birthday, the big 6 2! He loves his girls.

My arm did not used to "curve" like that... I'm getting old!

These girls are working hard cooking!

Even eating, she's been trained so well! She can give me that "picture grin".

Busy, Busy, Busy

We had a wonderful weekend! Kylie wasn't feeling well on Saturday, but on Sunday she was fine - till the drive home!
This week has been so busy, I kept Kylie at home on Monday since she made her throat sore screaming the ENTIRE WAY HOME on Sunday. That girl loves her some Me Maw. I was not feeling so great myself.
Then I had a root canal yesterday - good times!
Of course, my supervisors don't care when I miss work, they pile it on even when I'm not here! Monday I was out. Tuesday I was able to do some work after court that morning, Wednesday I was in training all day, yesterday I was out, and today I'm on intake (answering phones) so I have to stay in all day. And I was given 4 new cases this week to go out on! When exactly am I supposed to do that? Hmmm? Anybody?
