Going Private!

After debating and debating I have decided to make my blog private. If by chance there is someone out there that wants an invite to it, and I don't have their email address let me know! (doubt there is, but you never know!) I will leave it public for a couple more days!

I am a very mean mommy! Hailey has been having a hard time going to preschool for the last few weeks. She is very attached to me. Wherever I go, Hailey goes.
She talks and talks about going to school all week and then when it comes time to go she hides her head and latches on to me. Last week she threw a fit for 10 mins in the hall of her preschool. I couldn't do that to her teacher any more!
We have been talking about how big girls go to school without crying, big girls are happy, big girls do this and this and this. It didn't work today, so I got mean. I told her that when she got home, I was going to take all of the toys out of her room and she was going to stay in there until preschool was done. I was prepared to hold on to her door handle for 2 hours!
We got home and I got a black garbage sack and put her toys in it. (she even helped me, silly girl) She went in and was not happy. (I told her that if she wanted to go to school at any time I would take her) After a few mins of unhappiness she said that she had to go to the bathroom. I told her to go but that she had to get back in when she was done. After she went, she grinned and said she was ready to go back to school.
I hate being mean!....But I hope that this solved her problem....(good thing I love her to pieces)

We have been drinking a lot of this:

You would think that after almost 6 days, Tanner would be over his croup. Poor little kiddo... In fact, he just woke up coughing so hard that he threw up.

I just got home from watching ry play city league basketball. My sweet mom came over so that I could go watch him. Crazy guys have games at 830 and 930 every Wednesday. I never realized how tiny ryan is until tonight. Everyone towered over him!

Sunday Randoms



I don't know why this picture wouldn't turn the right way.... This is the second tea party that ry and I attended tonight. The first was H's and this one was P's. Delicious!




Meggie's 2nd favorite human is definitely Preston.
We got new yummy smelling not doggie smelling carpet and have a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs. This is a usual occurrence with him yelling I'm stuck, I'm stuck!
I came downstairs tonight to get the kids a drink and went past something on my rug. I didn't have my contacts on so I didn't see what it was. As I came past it again I stepped on it with bare feet. It was a little wet and made the sickest squishing sound. I looked closer and it was A DEAD BIRD! I was so grossed out by the noise that I couldn't pick it up and called my neighbor to do my dirty work! (ry was at a meeting)
I took the pic far away so I wouldnt gross anyone out!

wedding present

I know...2 posts in one day! I just finished Cameron's wedding present (I actually need to touch the black paint up a bit, but it gives you an idea!). I know that I am safe posting these early because there is no way that cam would be reading my blog on his honeymoon!
This is a different project because I painted the 2 c's just because I wanted to see if I could do it! I also painted the background of the little canvas to match the paper. I snagged the cupboard for 50 cents at a garage sale. Talk about a cheap wedding gift!
In the future (if I can get good enough) I would like to start hand painting canvases. Sara is bringing her bedding for her little guy so that I can match the colors and make an attempt!
Sure hope they like it. It was a lot of fun to do.







We made a special trip to the Tri-Cities on Saturday for Hailey. She said that she was going to cry for just a little bit. She didn't....she just grinned!
