Today wr had planned to go to Santa fe by train to have breakfast.
However the snow and the schedule made me change my mind.
We ventured off to Explorer instead. Even went a major headache we
went. The kids loved it and wanted to rush around. They loved the wind
section the most.

March 9

Today was my sons class field trip. However Carolina woke up feeling
worse than she had been. She had eye yuckies and Jeff said I should
take her to the dr. I of course knew it was just allergies-so we had
to change plans. Jeff went to work early so he could meet boogies for
his field trip. Of me and C went to the dr to confirm IT was
allergies. Afterwards we met Jeff n B at lowes for his field trip.
The class toured the store and then built a car. He loved it!!

March 8

So today me & mom got up to head to Lubbock. She had a dr appt. We got
there early so we headed over to a scrapbook store. Called down memory
lane. Very nice big store.
They had a large selection of word books. Of course we picked up a few
or 8. :)
But some were for a friend, some.

Mom got summer and pumpkin patch. I got camping.

Oh Sunday morning in Clovis normally means menudo from somewhere.
Today we got some and it was yummy.
I love menudo.

We had a really good party turn out. Made some really good money.
Here is my Scentsy table set up.

March 5

Me and the kids drove late last night into Clovis. Me and mom have a

today--its my ATC swap down @ China Phoenix--I like that store. I like the ATC swap too, it gives me the chance to experiment on a small canvas.

Once me & the girls (kelly, faith, me, michelle & liz) got there & swapped with the other ladies--we cut out early and had some lunch @ Lugi's (yummy pizza)

then off I went back home--cleaned up the kids rooms--cleared out some old toys, etc

Then I was back out to meet the girls for some drinks at Fox n Hound--I always have a great time!!

And with all this friends and fun I had today--not one picture was taken, except of my ATC's so here is my POTD :D

Jan. 22, 2010

this is a picture of the heavy fog this AM. it was pretty (well I thought so). I was on my way to get my glasses fixed (which they can't by the way)--so I have temporary contacts (which I haven't worn contacts since the kids were born 5 yrs ago)--

looks like I will have to get new glasses (the replacement arms are $126 & new frames are free)--and I liked my old glasses.

Jan. 21, 2010

today I broke my glasses--my lovely husband fixed them (lol) until I can go get them fixed--most of the time I was without my glasses because they would not stay on my face

Jan. 20, 2010

school has officially started--so its time to hit the books (these are not my books--all my books this semester are online books)

Jan. 19, 2010

today Carolina was really excited for her field trip today. Her preschool class was invited to go to the State Capitol in Santa Fe, NM. for their legistive meeting.

However with last night's snow--Santa Fe was mostly all closed. She was super sad--I didn't get any pictures--

Jan. 18, 2010

today was a school off day--which means another day of entertaining the kids and making sure mommy doesn't lose her mind :D

today was another day of cutting up paper (the kids love that)--I hate cleaning the mess (they don't dig that as much)--but it makes them happy.

tonight we got weird snow...big, giant snowflakes. They were big & falling fast, I thought it was rain at first.

this isn't the best picture, but the only one I could get before the 'snow' stopped.

Jan. 17, 2010

today i realized that my weekend was really, really busy & I am updating 4 days of Project 365.

Today i had a Scentsy party, so I missed the kids first time ice skating. They had a birthday party to go to & they LOVED it.

They want to go ice skating tomorrow--so maybe!!

photo & video to come (I have to get back to homework first)

Jan. 16, 2010

today me & mom got up about 6:30am to start our day. We headed out to pick up some friends along the way. 4 stops later we were on our way to Belen for a crop.

We had a good time, we got a couple of layouts done.

Jan. 15, 2010

Today Jeff was installed at the Shriner's Clown unit president. My husband was very happy to have my folks there. They drove up to see him. (thanks mom) I have to say thanks to my dear friend Faith, who came to the dinner & took some really great shots.

photo to come!!

Jan. 14, 2010

today, only Carolina had school, so me & boogies took Vixen & Blitzen to their first vet appt. $300 later, they had all their shots & such....since the puppies had to stay for a few hours, me & B got some Starbucks (he got chocolate milk)--I love their oatmeal there...so coffee & oatmeal makes me happy.

I know that this is A picture of the day, but I had to share this picture of what I found. Yesterday we did some collages, and I didn't realize that Carolina had actually finished hers. They said they just wanted to cut (not paste them)---well I go to her room & I found her collage on her wall. She is all girl, she has makeup, jewelry & such on hers!! She is just too much some days :D

Jan. 13, 2010

Wednesdays! I am not a big fan of them--my kids have no school & its cold outside (my kiddos are outside kids)...so we have to stay indoors. We do projects, watch movies, etc.

Well as they got really bored--I finally gave in & let them outside to play on their trampoline.

They love that thing!!! I love the fact that they have winter jackets on (but my daughter has on a dress, lol)----

My son does jump--I just couldn't get a photo of them jumping @ the same time :D

don't you love my view of the mountains from my backyard

Jan. 12, 2010

it seems far away & yet feels just yesterday--that my babies were just babies. But they are growing up & today I was told how great my daughter was. I rec'd a phone call from her preschool teacher, who wanted to talk to me about an incident that happened on Monday.

Of course I was thinking 'uh oh' & Mrs. Estala says "it is a good thing"---whew, exhale!!

Mrs. Estala, proceeded to tell me that during class, she was reaching for something and her back cracked/popped (etc,something) & she immediately was in pain. Of course she was trying to stay calm & not cry (for the kid's sake).

Anyways, my daughter asks her if she was ok? Mrs Estala said no, she needed help (from next door classroom)--she said my daughter ran over (no further instruction needed) & got the neighbor classroom teacher.

After that, Mrs Estala said Carolina would not leave her side, continuing to ask her if she was "ok" & "if she needed anything".

I was a proud mommy--and of course, we have raised our kids to help others, especially their grammy & papo. You may know my folks are not in the best of health, so when they are with them on vacation, etc. We have taught them to care for them & how to get help if something was to happen to grammy & papo. I guessed they have paid attention.

So as I looked for a picture to go with today's post,(because of course I have not charged my camera) I found this one. And I think WOW how she has grown, and she has always been a little mother hen. (her & her brother, 2005)

Jan. 11, 2010

Monday--I am not a big fan of Mondays. Only my daughter goes to school, so I was a bum. I did some laundry and ordered a pizza.

Have to call it an early night so I can do something I love. Watch Monday night TV. I love monday night TV. How I met your mother, Accidently on purpose, two and a half man and the big bang theory. I also enjoy CSI-Miami, but it isn't a must have

Jan. 10, 2010

Sunday started out as a lazy day. Me and Jeff each take a day of the weekend to sleep in. So I was up with the kids, but still lazy :D

I surfed around on the web for ATC's idea. I was meeting Faith for a movie (Leap Year) and I needed to get up & get ready. As I did, I guess my foot was sleeping and I rolled my ankle on a couch pillow on the floor.

I was carrying a cup of cold coffee. As I went crashing down, my mug went up--coffee went everywhere. I sat on my daughter's foot and went down to the floor. I really thought I broke it. Especially since it didn't swell.

Jeff said I either had to get up and walk on it or go to the ER. So of course I didn't want to go to the ER and I really wanted to go to the movies, so up I got. Surprisingly it didn't hurt. It was a little stiff, but it felt fine.
