Can't believe he's 12!

A few quick unedited Christmas photos!  

Birthday boy!  Isn't he dreamy?

Sold yesterday!  Finally, one of my paintings sold. I told John the competition is ON.   Just kidding, we both rock apparently. :)

Chocolate marshmallow pillows. Gluten free!

White chocolate peppermint bark!  Also gf!

AND the classic puppy chow, another gf treat!  

Next big sale I hope!  This wall sculpture is huge!  Like 4 ft wide AND it's a C.  Jere, signed and everything!  Got it for $5. Boom!  

Baked a bit tonight with an eager helper!

Last nights sunset from upstairs bedroom window. 
Gorge!  

Longest high school chorale concert ever!  Good though, griffin was stoked to wear a fancy robe!

Burke's hair. Ugh. Aunt Kelley bribed him with $20 to get it cut. Love it.

Halloween Pt 2

My niece Haley wrote a little something about the party!  


Check it out here http://hales-walkwithfaith.blogspot.com/2011/10/halloween-party.html , she completely made my day!


Here are the guests who costumed up and joined in the fun!

Burke is on the right as previously seen, but Parker was a CREEPER from the best game ever, Minecraft!  This wasn't even planned and they were so happy they weren't the same character!  Both were homemade!

Cory Maurer, rockstar!

Dallen with his baby boxing champ, Noah. 

Dallen with his woman, Tara!

Haley and Ryan, ADORBS.  

So bummed this pic didn't turn out clearer, Kelley and Mike!

Michelle and Dale

Mitchell and Jamie

Makenzie and Keith

Man, it's a good thing I didn't invite more, there was no room left!  

Here's a few random shots as a bonus!

Look forward to part 3, activities, oooooh!

Halloween Pt 1

Hi!  Party was a hit!  Here's our costumes!  More posted as soon as I edit pics!

 Griff is Edward from Twilight!  He sparkles!

Burke is Steve from the best game EVER, Minecraft

John and I are hipsters, nothing new there!  Ha ha ha.

Craigslist: Candle and Popery Holder

Never seen popery spelled that way. Hilarious.

In other news, think I've finally got my costume set!

Now I must nap.

Up from 1 am to 6 am with sick dog. Lord only knows what he got into. This is not making today productive whatsoever. At least there's a pretty tree in the yard to stare at.

Okay, whose idea was it to have a Halloween party?  Busy week ahead. Plus I've bought two costumes and neither fit so I'm gonna be scrambling!  

Mom, got the sheets, love them!!!  Thanks so much!  

Only sold 1 eBay item this week for $12. What's up with that!!!??

Praying for an organized mind to complete all tasks ahead. Wish me luck!!

I really REALLY wanted this & it was only $25. I passed on it but CAN'T stop thinking about it.
Today is our goal day!  21 days straight of exercise together!  I'm gonna keep it up Monday thru Friday and give myself weekends off unless I feel ambitious. It's still hard. I don't have that habit feeling yet. I also don't have any noticeable body changes yet either.
Been busy as ever, time seems to be flying. I'm loving the cooler weather, I always feel better in boots and long sleeves!
Hope everyone is good!

How does one become content with life's constant chores?  They never end or let up. Any strategies on contentment with the daily grind?  

I'm back! Brand new phone!! Hoot hoot! Anyway, day 12 of exercise, 30 minutes everyday, sweat like a pig literally every time and I've gained weight. I.AM.NOT.HAPPY.

Well, my addiction to my dreamy phone will be tested this week. Sending out tomorrow!  Yikes!  I hate to admit how much I truly love it but I do. Oh so much. Anywho, check out my puffballs!  Thoughts?

Too much?

Invitation Complete!

Griffin drew it, I edited it.  Cool yeah?

One of Griffin's drawings was featured at conferences last night!

Not bad right?!

I texted a photo of this pumpkin to John. At gw for $5. It's a light up monstrosity and what pumpkin has a nose & lips?  I love it. John said no. Humph. 

I can't believe you guys don't know about planking!  It's a stupid thing people do and put online, it was even in the first episode of 'the office' this season!  Anyway, griffy did that the other night & caught me off guard, so funny!  

I'm back to cleaning at Maury's house this week plus conferences, chorus rehearsals, chorus concert, eBay. Ugh. Busy. 

Thanks to my main squeeze, we got the uber heavy cabinet in the entryway and look at it now!  I'm a genius. Impressive entry in the winter right?  There's not a chance we get could this upstairs. :(. That would be sweet though!

(haven't got any cool chaskis on top yet). 

Ok, gotta run.
