I had to share my project today. it turned out so cute. I altered a mini lunchbox-I think I'll use this as my recipe box, and a CM Mini Moments Tin. I used the CM Cherish Paper Pack-I LOOOVE this paper. This was a lot of fun I've never altered anything before,the downside is the house smells like Mod Podge :)

Okay so my photos aren't showing up you'll have to take my word for it-they are CUTE!

My turn for a new do!

I had his new "do" this week and this afternoon it's my turn! I really wanted Posh Spice's "do" but then I found Jenny Mccarthy's and knew I needed that one instead. Posh's is short and choppy in the back and I want a little more length. I've been asking Mom to do it for weeks and she finally has time to do it-woo hoo! Cut and color for me today YAY!

I had a crop last night,it was so great to see the girls again. We had two babies here last night, a 4 week old and a 4 month old-oh my goodness they are ADORABLE! I was able to get my baby fix and I realized something as I was holding them-I love babies. I love their smell,their sounds, their smiles, and the way their eyes take in everything around them. I also realized I love everyone ELSE's babies, I *think* I am coming to terms with being done at 3 kids, my opinion may be changed again but for right now I am going to enjoy my last baby, my big boy with his big kid haircut ;)

A new haircut,and a new school day

So I went to a Stampin Up card making class and when I came backthe littleset blueberry had a buzz cut! I am kind of sad about it, yes I know it's only hair but everytime I look at him he looks soooo different-where has my baby gone?

My mom the hairdresser is going to be shocked!

Now onto the school day. Yesterday we had a bit of an adjustment M does not like her BJU Pre Algebra and is really wanting to go back to Saxon. We don't know if it's because it's different terms or if she just really doesn't like it. DH says give it a week, there is a chance I wasted my $100 and I maybe changing Math.

I need to change C's handwriting we are NOT ready for cursive. Again I switched him back to Abeka writing from HWT and it's not a good switch. So hi ho hi ho a ordering I go-AGAIN.

This morning we didn't get started at our usual time,M decided to not go to bed until 12:30 so she didn't get up until I forced it at 9:30,let me tell you I wrote a schedule for a reason and when we get off track it's just awful, well it wasn't awful just harder than it has been. I am determined not to turn the t.v on while the big kids are doing school it works fine until all three need you at once! So tomorrow they will start at 9:00 and I will have atleast 5 activities for the littleset one.

On a sewing note I got this yummy crinkle knit and decided I would make myself a tunic it turned out HORRID. As in not even wearable-maybe I should just stick to making bags-bags I can do. I knew I needed to fix my sewing blunder and create something fabulous but I am standing at my fabric closet completley uninspired, the day isn't over yet-something might come to me I can't end on a bad note!

Hey who is that kid that just went by-he's too big to be my baby!

Today's the big day!

We started school today and it went great! There is something to be said for a good schedule. Usually I have my lesson plans written out, but this year I decided to go a step further and plan out my schedule every day every half hour. WOW what a difference it made! The kids knew exactly what subject was next, and when they "beat the clock" they were thrilled!

I need to find a few more things for the littleset blueberry though he went through most of the acitivities I planned in about 20 minutes.

Here's hoping tomorrow goes as smooth. The oldest blueberry has Art Class so we leave here around 10:45-how much school can we get done in 2 hours?
