Christmas Eve in Florida..

On Christmas Eve our little family ventured out to the Park. It was a beautiful day. The sun wasn't to hot and there was actually a very nice breeze. I love going to the park with the kids. They always have so much fun. I always get to be the bad guy that they chase around and try to catch. Ezzy normally just sits on the side and enjoys the show. I just love these family days.

Christmas was great....

These are some pictures from Christmas. The kids were happy with what they got. And I am happy they enjoyed the day. It surely makes all that preperation worth while.

Recap of weekend:

Friday - went out looking at the beautiful Christmas decorations in our area.

Saturday - went to a wedding in Port Charlette

Sunday - Olive Garden, the Park, delivered gifts to family and friends and ended the day at Tasha's house making chocolate coverd, strawberries and pretzels and making cookies for santa.

Monday - Opened gifts, played with gifts and had dinner with Kevin and Gavin. Very relaxing day.

Christmas gifts.

We bought jewelry for the kids for Christmas. Niah got a bangle and a necklace and Nayshawn got a necklace. I got these snack tins from Target for a dollar a while back and decided to decorate them and put the jewelry in them. I figure they can use them after to put small toys in.

Also, I am offically done with my shopping. I think the kids will be happy with what they get.

My mom is leaving for Jamaica this after noon and I am a little sad about that because I am so use to her being around.

What a Day...

What a Day. I think the earlier part of the day went well. I went and got my teeth cleaned, then got the oil in my car changed. Good so far. Stopped at Target to do some Christmas shopping for all the little kids on my list. Still pretty good. Got home relaxed a little before I had to get ready to pick the kids up from after school care. Well, after picking them up and getting to my mother-law's house. No answer at the door. Waited for about twenty minutes. Well, NO school for me today. She never came to the door. That really sucked good thing I had no important assignments to turn in. Get home to the load of darks the I left in the dryer out to realize that one of the kids left red and green crayons in their pocket and messed up the entire load. That really sucked because that was the load with all the jeans and Nay's school uniform. Then sat down to watch the Colt vs. Bangles game and the phone rings. My mom got into a car accident. She is OK, the car can be driven but the front is pretty banged up. Now the was the suckiness that rounded out the night. I am just getting home after following her home. I am tired. Will talk to you later.

I am Hot Stuff....

Some pictures from the other night. Before Ezzy and I went to my company Christmas Party.

New Christmas Picture

My new favorite picture of the rugrats.I think I will use this for my Christmas Cards. The other day I babysat my niece and got this great picture with all three of them.

Blog Face Lift

I figured it was time to give me blog a little face lift. Every Girlie Girl deserves a little pink in their blog. Ok a lotta pink in their blog. I love it.

Short weekend...

Well, my toilet is fixed and the bathroom is back to normal. Well as normal as it can be with two kids. Now about those weekends. Why are they so short? I feel like as soon as they start they are done. I know a lot of it has to do with the fact that I pack them full of things that I have to do before Monday morning. And with the holidays upon us it's even worse. I spend most of my time searching for gifts. Now don't get me wrong I love shopping but only when there is time to do it and right now there just doesn't seem to be any time for it. Went shopping for Nayshawn's gift on Saturday but I had to take him with me. I bought him an iPod Video. I had to tell him I was buying it for Uncle Gavin. Man was he pissed. He just couldn't understand why I would be spending my money on any one but him and Niah. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he opens it on Christmas morning. I will have the camera ready. I attended my company holiday party on Saturday night and man they went all out. The theme was the Middle East and they did a great job conveying that theme. They had Futune Tellers and belly dancers. I will post pictures of Ezzy and I later. We spent Sunday with Tasha. Ezzy cooked dinner and Tasha and I were able to catch up on what's going on in each other's lives. And now it is Monday and I am back at work and I have school tonight. There is just no rest for the weary.

Kids

Kids are something else. That's really all I can say. I have to laugh now to keep from crying. I started this new position at work and I have been putting in some serious hours. So needless to say, I am tired, cranky and irritable. Well, tonight I filled up the footbath, broke out my laptop and sat down to deal with some work. Two minutes later Niah come running out of the bathroom to tell me the toilet water is coming up out of the bowl. Why? Why I ask? How much toilet paper does she need to wipe that tiny little butt? Of course, I am not very good at things like that and Ezzy is working late. I am not shamed to say I don't know how to work the plunger so the bathroom is still a mess and I am sitting here on the coach waiting for Ezzy to come home and save the day.

Tis The Season

Well the tree is up and it's begining to look alot like Christmas. Can you believe I have only gotten one gift. Man, I need to get on the ball before Christmas sneaks up on me.

New Layouts

I know I have been MIA for a while. I have just been so busy with this new position at work, school and family that I just haven't had a chance to update my blog. I decided to upload some layouts I did a few weeks back for a Design Team contest. I didn't make it but I love how these Layouts turned out. I haven't been able to scrap in a couple of weeks now. The only thing I did was a birthday card for my mother-in-law. I think I am having some serious scrap withdrawal. My class ends tonight, so to celebrate I am going to be scrapping tonight. I can't wait, I have gotten so many new stuff that I would like to get into.

Anyway, bye for now.
