Mudsy Sudsy

Chuck and Charisse told us about this stuff at Toys R us, it's mudsy sudsy, it's made by Crayola. It is soap that looks and feels like mud. It dries like mud but smella wonderful. It comes in a kit with an animal sponge, shovel, and zebra soap. Ryan had a blast!! It cleans up easily too. his poor Star Wars guys got all muddy too!

ornaments 2007

Here are our family ornament and Ryan's ornament for this year. I also bought him 2 others today from Hallmark but he doesn't know yet. We had this personalized in Disney World in September.

Build and Grow with Daddy

Here are some pictures from Saturday's Lowe's Build and Grow. Ryan wanted Daddy to take him, so he did. He was so happy and proud to show Daddy how he could build!

Who says a Golden isn't a lap dog?

School Indian

Here are the hat, vest and place mat Ryan made for the Thanksgiving Feast they had at school. Isn't he a cute little Indian.

What's in the Box?

Once again Ryan got Violet to get in a box. That dumb dog will do anything he asks her to do. She loved playing in the box! Mira also got in on it and started biting poor Violet while she was on the box.

Super Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was wonderful and actually relaxing. I loved doing a lot of the cooking, the dishes were the only downside and I did very few of those. Kevin washed and Joy dried, I just cleared everything. After I cleared the table, Ted decided to show his super hero side and wore one of my table cloths as his cape. I went for the camera and by the time I came back he had a little sidekick! Mom was really sick and had to stay in bed most of the day. She got the turkey put in the oven and that was about it. She came downstairs later and had some mash potatoes and jello. We had a wonderful meal and then just sat around talking and looking at ads of course. Bethany and Aaron played a few games of Guess who with Ryan. Adam came too and brought his little dog Cloe, she is just the sweetest thing and got a long with Mira and Violet really well. She even cried at the door when we put them out so we could eat. I didn't take very many pictures but I will post more later. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving too.

Thanksgiving

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving ALL!!! I hope you all have a wonderful time wit family and friends. Don't eat too much!!! Pumpkin Pie here I come!!!

Nothing to Post about

Just cleaning and getting ready for Thanksgiving!

weekend update

Our weekend wasn't very eventful but very productive! We cleaned our carpets and all of our furniture, we downstairs. We also got the Christmas trees out. Ryan's is up and prelit so he started getting ornament on it, our family tree on the other hand is not pre-lit. So I got about 300 lights on there and then half way through my 4th strand they died so I took those off and quit. I got about 12 things boxed up and ready to mail and I have 8 more to do this morning and then I'm off to the post office. I have to get my freezers and refrigerators cleaned out today for Thanksgiving. Then I have to go get TOM and the rest of our Thanksgiving groceries. Busy, busy day! I have so many things I want to get done before Thanksgiving, we'll see how I do. I have so much I HAVE TO DO that I may not make it to what I want to get done. SO that was about it. Nothing major but we got a lot done. Well I must go abd get started on my very long list!!!!

Poor David

Saturday when dad and Julia came over, David was very tired. he laid down and fell asleep on the couch. Ryan was so excited that he was here he just sat with him and on him while he slept. when David woke up they watched one of the Star Wars movies together. David is a very patient and good uncle.

BOGO for Sonya

Meijer has BOGO on 4 packs of playdoh, they are $1.67. So a $1.67 for 8 full size cans. Oh Meijer had 12 different colors so we got Ry 3 packs and 1 for Amanda's kiddies, if they are allowed to have it.

Our New Pet

Here is our new pet, Hawk. Okay, he isn't our pet but we see him a lot. Dad came in yesterday adn told me to get my camera. I got great pictures of him for Ry, he LOVES hawks. he was thrilled when he got home and saw the pictures!

I'm Sick.

I feel like poopy. I have a headache and yucky cold. Here are some pictures from the Build it at Lowe's on Saturday. Ryan loved it and asked for 2 extra turkeys so he can give one to each Grandma.

More Stuff

We went to parent teacher conferences last night. Ryan is doing well, he just needs to practice reading out loud. They had all kinds of stuff they made hanging up, it was all very cute. Ryan was excited for Daddy to his classroom.

The other day Ryan got his first check from Kidzeye, so he opened his own savings account. He is very proud of his $15.00. Now every time he even finds a penny he wants to put it in his account. I guess I should be glad he wants to save it.

I have a horrible headache all of a sudden so I am going to lay down in the dark. Notice I didn't say quiet, Ryan and Nick are playing one of Ryan's CDs and dancing in the familyroom. They are too cute to stop no matter how bad my head hurts. Ry wants to start reading to Nick so that is good. OH my now they are singing! Too cute, I may have to find the video camera.

We have no big plans for the weekend. I plan to work on Ryan's room some more and I have to find my wrapped Aquadots to return. There is Lowe's in the morning but other than that nothing. Have a good weekend ladies. Oh now I found out one of Ryan's Curious Geroges was recalled. he is getting pretty mad at losing his toys. I had to tell him about the Aquadots because he wanted them so badly. OH well...chow.

Free to a good home

Here are some pictures of the stuffed animals. One photo is of all TY stuff and the other is just a mix of stuff. If anyone want 1 or 2 or all of them let me know!!!

Report Card***TOY ALERT****

Ryan got his report card yesterday. His first one from first grade. He got 3 VG and 1 O. Ok translation he got 1 A-, 2 B+ and 1 B. I was thrilled. He did really well. He was very proud of himself.

****TOY ALERT****Aqua dots have been recalled. If swallowed those little beads can do serious damage to little ones. Even cause DEATH. If your kids have one take it away now!!

This really sucks because Ryan really wanted those things for Christmas, I bought the big studio and a ton of refills. Oh well. and they are already wrapped so I have to try and figure out which ones they are and unwrap them.

The CAKE

Here is the "beautiful" cake Ryan made. He made the lovely color by squirting food coloring on the spatula and spreading it over the cake.

Just Stuff

Ryan came home yesterday with a little certificate for good grades, I haven't gotten his report card yet but I am guessing it is good. I'm glad. We have parent teacher conferences on Thurday. I am glad, I hate being out of the loop. Last year I was there all the time, I could have done all the conferences for Mrs. Dunigan, this year I only know what Ryan tells me.

We got the house cleaned up over the weekend, so I have to do is maintain this week. So far so good. I got all Ryan's Christmas gifts wrapped yesterday. I am finished with everything for him. YAY, just waiting for the big day now. Oh yeah i guess I need to buy for everyone else. I love to shop and wrap early so I am not rushed during the Holiday season. i am going to wrap all of Amanda's kids things tomorrow. I plan to do all my other shopping on Black Friday one of the greatest days of the year. I just love it!!

I have been selling so much stuff on ebay and Craig's list, it is so fun. It has slowed down a bit this week. I need to et stuff listed on ebay for Dad, we have nothing to watch right now.

Poor Ryan has a terrible cold. I can't really give him anything to help because of his allergy medicine. So I use other methods, I sit him up to sleep and he wears a breathe right strip. Those things are great, I wear them all the time. Well I must go and get a plan for dinner. Mom is coming over for her birthday. She is the big 57! today. Ryan decorated her cake, oh is it decorated, I let him actually do all the icing and everything this time. Boy, is it interesting. It's a good thing Grandma's love everything their grandson make. It will still taste yummy I hope, he did that part too.

Chow girlies!!

Quick Weekend Update

We've had a good weekend so far. Friday Ryan went to a birthday party for a classmate, he actually let me drop him off and come back for him at the end. He was nervous but he did really well. It was a Mom he knew well from last year. Saturday morning we went to the Home Depot build and grow thing. Unfortunately we missed the pirate ship, they ran out really early. So Ryan did an art caddy. He really liked it. This morning he got up and decorated it. We got most of the house cleaned this weekend and I posted lots of stuff on Craig's list and ebay. So it has been a very productive weekend. We even went to Dad's on Saturday. Now we are waiting for friends to get here and we are going out to dinner and then just hang out at home. Chow ladies and Dad.
