Day 4 challenge for L!!

question:  Put your Ipod on shuffle and list the first 4 songs that play!

Well...........I don't own an Ipod, don't judge me!

I have an I Phone with itunes, but I have never set up an itunes account, don't judge me!!

So what I am going to do is tell you my 4 favorite songs of all times!!
I'm an old school song lover, so some of my picks are kinda random...

#1 by far. "Beat It" - Michael Jackson (RIP) and really any of his songs are freaking amazing!!

2. "True" - Ryan Cabrera (My husband and I danced to this at our wedding!!)

3. "Not the Greatest Rapper" - 1000 Clowns (seriously why didn't they make it beyond this song???  I loved it!!  haha).......S.....you know what I'm taking about!!!

4. "Get Out of My Dreams" - Billy Ocean (I loved this song in Elementary school) why? don't even have the slightest clue, but its awesome!!!

there you have it!!! my favorite songs that I have the best memories of!!!!

See you tomorrow!!

Day 3 of Challenge for L!

Question:  What do you think people misunderstand most about me?

Shoot!!!   ummm.........I would have to say that it would probably be how family oriented I really am...
I absolutely love my family!! My aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, in laws, husband, kids, parents, sisters, nieces, nephews....just everybody in my family!!

I think that I have the best family that anyone could possibly even dream of having....I know at times I seem to be irritated with some of them, and I irritate the living shit out of them, but we get over it and move on.  I love that I can call up anyone in my family and there is no hesitation to pick up the phone, well that is how I feel anyway, It might not be the same with everyone else, LOL! 
I want my house to be the house were people feel welcome and comfortable enough to just walk in....and to know that my door is always open! 
I know I'm not close to a lot of my family members and I know I moved a lot and I just wasn't around..ever!.. but I want my family to know how much I love them!  How much I really do value the time we get together and how much I look forward to spending time with them in the future!!  You guys are truly the best friends I could have ever hoped for and I hope we always remain close. 

I'm one of the luckiest girls in the world and I have my family to thank for that!
Love you guys and girls!

Canning Season!

A here,

Whoo hoo!!! Canning season has begun and I am beyond excited about filling some jars. I currently have 25 pounds of tomatoes sitting on my table patiently waiting for me to open up and I have a drawer in my fridge full of zucchini. I found a recipe for zucchini relish that looks delicious so I'm going to give that a try and I am pretty sure I'm going to make salsa and ketchup with the tomatoes. I will post when I get it all done and let you know how it all turned out!

Today is going to involve a lot of moving for me. My little girls are going into twin beds today. Out with the cribs! You will have to wait for pictures of that too! I feel like I haven't blogged in too long so I just wanted to write a quick post and let you know what I am up to this week.

Until next time (which will be later today with pictures!),
xoxo

Day 2 of challenge for L!

L here:

so we are on Day 2!

Question: What kind of person attracts me?

  I would have to say that the person that attracts me is someone who is loyal, trustworthy, funny, easy going(isn't in a hurry all the time), spur of the moment, easy to talk to, adventurous, confident(not cocky-there is a difference), friendly, non-judgemental, open to try new things and are willing to meet new and different people.

I know that not everyone I meet has all of these qualities all rolled into one.  I like to be around people that are ok with being who they are and they are ok with who I am.

I'm not here to impress anyone, but myself.  so if you like me great, if not great!! 
I guess the main qualities that attract me are confidence, humor, and trustworthy!!  someone who isn't trying to win me over, someone who isn't going to pretend to be my friend, and someone I can laugh with about stupid things that don't make sense to anyone but us.

Believe it or not, I think that those 3 qualities are harder than it should be to find in people....sadly enough.

But yeah!! YAY for week 2!

see you tomorrow

20 Day Blogging Challenge

Hi everyone.....L here!!

So I found this 20 day blog challenge on Pinterest!!

I think I will give it a go!!

So Day 1:
 I am Aquarius.   And holy Crap! it fits me to a tee!!  I looked up the meaning here. 
It basically says I'm shy and/or lively.  which I was very shy my whole life until I moved and was put in a very new environment in which I was not used to at all.  I am now very outspoken and voice my opinion pretty loudly when I feel the time is right!
It says I am simple, honest, loyal, artistic, poetic, highly intelligent, unhappy, unlucky, unsuccessful, medium height, rare faculties, self-esteem.
I agree with all of them except the unhappy part!  I am very much in love with my life and can't wait for the next days to come!
It says I make very seldom lasting friendships which is very true!! I believe that the only friends that I have kept my entire life are my sisters!! Love you guys!!
It even gives physical features......which are dead on......medium height, tall forehead, wavy hair, light eyes(mine are green), smaller figure(I don't know if I am small by any means, 3 kids!! just saying)

I don't know.....I think that I am Aquarius through and through!!
and I love it!!

see you tomorrow,

Halloween!!

Hi everyone!! L here....

My kiddo's Loove Halloween!!

I think there favorite part is carving pumpkins and chowing down on all that delicious candy!!

 About 3 weeks ago, my kids were playing rock, paper, scissor with their Dad and I was watching them thinking, ohhh myyy I have 3 girls and what an awesome halloween costume idea!! So this is the result....

I never took pictures of the process, but I did make all of the costumes!!  they all had black pants and black long sleeve shirts.. 
I bought the grey and white fabric from walmart for like $5. and the scissors were made out of a box from Dads work and some spray paint bought at walmart for $5 also.

The ROCK(grey) fabric was almost like a light linen kind of fabric, but it was see through, so I had to buy 4 yards of it so I could double up on front and back.  Luckily it was on sale for .50 cents a yard! so BONUS!!!    I just cut out 4 circles. put 2 together and sewed around leaving a little bit of a space to flip inside out. I did this with the other 2 circles as well.  Then I put the 2 sewn pieces together and sewed around leaving spaces for her head, arms and waist to fit through.  FLipped it inside out again and then put a string through the bottom of the fabric so I could tie it tight aroung her waist after stuffing her with blankets and towels. 

The PAPER(white) fabric was flannel fabric.  I just bought a yard of it and cut it into 4 rectangle pieces.  I took 2 of the 4 pieces and I sewed blue lines going across the whole thing all the way down and then I sewed 1 red line going down the side.  you know to make it look like a piece of paper.  then I took one blue and red striped piece with a plain piece and sewed them right sides together leaving a space to flip inside out. repeat with the other 2 pieces.  I then sewed both rectangles wrongsides together. to give it that very square look....leaving a space of course for her head, arms and waist.....

The SCISSORS I took a box and cut out a scissor shape and then painted them with silver and pink spray paint...She had a blake and red tutu from last year.  so we reused that.

So there you have it!! for $10, I had 3 costumes in 1 day and I am already thinking about next year!!
     Smores...... BLT......

House update!

Hi everyone, L here....
After the walls were set, they got to the backfilling, finally!!!!  

 after about 3 days, the lumber package arived and holy Crap!! its a lot of wood!! See.....

After the Lumber package arrived, we noticed that the framers, were planning on camping out on the lot because our builder told them to hurry up!!  I didnt like the idea, but they are doing their job quickly!! doesn't this shelter look appealing?!?!  NOT!  Im not sure how I feel about this, but, OK!!

 I don't know if you can see this in the picture, but they were putting up string so that the floor was level when they started framing in the crawl space.

 And in this picture they finished the floor joices, if thats what they are called?, but they are waiting for an inspection before putting the floor on.  this will hopefully happen on monday!!

Please keep your fingers crossed for us that all goes well and we don't get held back!!
I will keep you posted when we see more happening!!

see you soon,
L
