Wow, its been a bit since I posted anything, hope everyone had a great weekend and all is well!

I got my August TSR kit, yahoo! Fun scraptime ahead with new papers, how exciting!

Last weekend while we were at my Mom's Maddie got her haircut. At first it was just a trim and giving her whispy bangs and than I heard myself say, oh cut it. My mom said "you'll kill me" ah, it's only hair right? If I don't like it or Maddie has a hard time getting used to short hair it will always grow back right? I've been saying for a LONG time that I wanted to see her with short hair, I kept finding a reason not to do it, but now that we have done it, I don't regret it at all! Maddie seems to really enjoy it, she only had flashbacks of long hair one time, the first night she grabbed at her hair and said, "where is all of my hair, I don't want to be a boy!" I reassured her she will never be a boy and that it is a cute sassy haircut for her. She hasn't said anything since, in fact with everyone fussing over how cute it is short she says that she likes it. I've noticed that she doesn't seem distracted by her hair when she is playing anymore and better yet, no more getting yelled at for brushing her hair, what a stressful battle that can be!! When mom was cutting her hair she made the comment it was a little hard because Maddie was wiggling, I told her to close her eyes and be still, next thing we knew she fell asleep!


I'm having a really hard time getting a decent pic of her with her new do, so this will have to do for now:





Meet Mocha, the newest member of our family, my mom's new kiddo!
Isn't she cute!!! Maddie wasn't sure what to think of her, she thought she was cute but doesn't really dig the whole puppy thing, she got upset when Mocha jumped on her, nipped at her, bit at her clothes and took her toys, LOL! Imagine if she had a sibling!


Ahhh, chillin baby!



Enjoy the beautiful weather, lovin having the windows open!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!! This was my work weekend and I think I was definetly cursed! Saturday I slipped and fell in a spot that had just been spot mopped...funny thing is (I guess) that when I fell I was carrying a pouch of supplies, cup of opened applesauce and my gigantic pill crusher and fell holding them in the same postion, how's that for talent! Although I am ok I am definetly sore...my knee is bruised but I'll live. Throughout the day however I had one of the nursing assistants graze me me with a food cart, another nursing assistant ran over the back of my heel with a shower chair, everyone was nit picking at me for stupid things...I was so ready to get out of work that day! Yesterday was hardly any better, right out of the gate as I got to work one of my residents was very aggitated, while I was trying to talk her down I got hit, kicked, pinched,clawed, grabbed, you name it..I have some pretty bruises on my arms for battle wounds, lol. Definetly a crazy weekend for sure!

Add to all of this stress of computer crashing and acting up...its bad enough that I know that I am computer dependent and addicted but add to it that hubby needs the computer for school--AGGGHHHH!!!! Crossing my fingers that today is a better day!

Nothing spectacular on the agenda today. Hoping Maddie's attitude lightens up a little today, she's been terribly mouthy the last 2 days and today she has to be mostly good vs bad in order for her to earn a movie at bedtime. Any parenting tips out there? lol

Well, I'm back to work, ugh. Why is it the first day back is so horrible. Seems like everytime I go on vacation and come back all of my people are sick and crazy, I'm not saying that I'm supernurse but ya know, seems like they are always happy to see me back!

Thank goodness I have this weekend off, the last 2 weekends have been traveling to grandparents so this weekend we are just going to RELAX!! Oh yeah, and I'll be doing some scrapping of course!

Have a great weekend!

Craft Time:

Since I am on vacation this week I decided it would be fun to go and get something crafty for Maddie and me to work on. No surprise she wanted to do something that involved a castle and princesses.




It was a little bit of an older project for her but she had fun anyways. We also made princes and princesses for the castle. Great for us that I have the sizzix dolls and accessories so she got to custom make what colors she wanted and everything.



I thought it turned out pretty cute!
