I'm A Big Kid NOW.

2nd Day of School

Here are my children on their 2nd day of school.  They are so beautiful. They love taking pictures for me.

Enjoy.

Kinder

So today was Hannah's 1st day of Kindergarten and she had a blast. This morning she woke up saying, "Aren't you excited for me?" We kept reassuring her that we were. She got to school and was ecstatic. While the teacher was talking to the parents she turns around from her chair and WINKS at me and smiles. Awww she is super excited. I called her after she got out of school and asked how it was. She said, "Momma she didn't give me any homework!" lol too cute...

The teacher told Vince that "Hannah was a such a doll and knows that this year will be great with Hannah in the classroom"....how sweet......

Hannah also told me that she has a new friend when I asked what her name was. She said, "Momma i forgot to ask her." lol 

 Today was a great day for all of us!

My babies are getting big!

Growing Up!

Tomorrow Dylan and Hannah will start school. I am feeling sad Dylan will be in the 4th grade and Hannah starts her first year of school. "Kindergarten".

Tonight I prepared their lunch. They were super excited. 

Dylan is going to take left overs from today. He loved the pork tenderloins that Vince cooked tonight with the mashed potatoes. He is also taking the homemade bbq sauce. He's so picky so I am glad he wants to take leftovers. 

Hannah will is taking some fresh strawberries with grapes.

Hannah will be also taking a luncable, cheetos, pudding and peaches.

Here is Hannah's lunch bag....Awww my baby girls first lunch box and lunch for school.

Dylan will also be taking  bread, honeybun, grapes, peaches, pudding and a nutty buddy.

Here is Dylan's lunch bag...All ready...

Here is Hannah's sweaters and bows.

I dont know which one I am going to put on her. 

Dylan is wearing blue tomorrow.

Hannah will also be wearing blue.

My baby girls back pack and school supplies...

So tomorrow will be the big day for my kids. I am nervous for them. I know they will have a terrific day.

It's 10:30 p.m. and I can still hear them awake. I remember those days of not being able to sleep.

Till next time..................

Feeling like a Hoarder! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Feeling like a HOARDER!

but I'm NOT!

OK I am hooked to the TLC and all the shows that come on especially the "Hoarder" show. I watch this show and freak out because how can you let this stuff get built up. Well if you know me well you know I am a clean freak and love to clean when I am in the mood. When I do start cleaning boy do I get in the zone. I love to re-organize and reorganize and purge. I do not like to hold on to things, especially clothes. I always have a box in my room or closet and that is for clothes or things that I do not want and will get rid of. As for my hubby on the other hand he holds on to things and loves to pick things up on the side of the road and go to garage sales and so on and so on. I get so irriated because if you saw our garage then you know why I get annoyed. 

Let me show you a sneak peak.

well every time I walk into the garage I start having anxiety attacks because I start freaking out because of all the stuff we have in the garage. Let me tell you half of this stuff is good old VINCE....Yup so much of it. I finally laid down the law and told him that this Saturday the 21st we were going to take everything out of the garage and purge and get rid of a lot of stuff. Well my hubby surprised me and started to take everything out of the garage and start cleaning it.

So when I got home today I decided that I would start working on the garage also. I work faster then hubby, I am a hustler. I start moving and moving and moving. I was at it from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. and we made a lot of progress. My feet hurt and I am tired. Here is a little preview of how our garage looks. I am getting excited.

I am so excited you can actually see the floor. I should of taken a picture before but he had already started moving the stuff out. As you can see their is a whole side that needs to be purged. 

so these cabinets used to be in my scrapbook room but since I had to give up my scrapbook room for my boys so we moved them outside so I can store Vince baking and cooking stuff in here. and there is  a little space for us to fold the clothes as soon as it comes out of the dryer.....I love to fold the clothes as soon as it comes out of the dryer vs leaving it in the baskets to get wrinkle.....but that's another post later. lol

If you would have seen this side you would have freaked out . Look it's clean. There are my 4 recycle bins and our deep freezer and my wrapping paper and party bags. It was getting late so we ended it tonight. Tomorrow we will continue. If it was up to me I would throw everything away. 

Here are our recycle buckets. 1 for cardboard's, 1 for plastics, 1 for cans and 1 for misc. 

So as you can see we are working on cleaning out our garage. I will post another picture later of the final outcome. I am getting excited. We are probable going to have a garage sale on Saturday and see what we get rid of. Anything that we do not sell will be donated somewhere. 

So do not go thinking I am a hoarder, It was just my garage. 

Lol.

I want to get storage containers and a label maker to help my husband get organized. 

Thanks hubby for cleaning the garage.

Too be continued.................................

Scrapbook Organization

Scrapbook Layouts re-organization.

I have a big entertainment center that holds a lot of my scrapbooks but as I sit there and watch TV I am just not pleased the way my entertainment center is organized and looks.....It's too chaotic....I want it to look nice and pretty. All my scrapbooks are all different types and colors. So I have been reading different scrapbook blogs like:

becky higgins

allie edwards

and they have a color for each kid or for there family and the same brand. So i have done some research and found the colors  and brand i want to use. We R Memory brand.

This one I picked for Hannah's layouts.

This one is for Dylan's layouts.

 

 

 

 

This one is for Micah's scrapbook layouts.

This color will be for our family layouts. 

This color will be for the layouts I do that are not of my family or it might be a holiday album.

So aren't these cute and they are all the same brand and after I start buying them they will look very great in my entertainment center. I am also going to buy different page protectors for pictures that i will not scrap but want to put in the scrapbooks.

These are so cool. I can not wait until I start to buy them. One at a time, they are pretty pricey the albums atleast because they are about 23.00-28.99 each album and I have not seen these at hobby lobby or Michael's so I can not use a coupon.

I also found these new tools that We R Memory Keepers are coming out with. Can not wait until i get them.

So these are some of my gadgets that are on my wish list. i hope i get some soon.....Can't wait........So excited.
