Hello it's Election Day! 
I mailed my ballot in so no sticker for me.
So far the orange guy is winning, we'll see if it changes. My prediction is he will win. Mostly judging by all my trumpy neighbors.

How do you like these snowmen dispensers they had at the store? Nice placement of the nozzle lol.


Sunday before the kids came over I worked on cleaning up the disaster area of my room. I got the bassinet boxes up (for a few months haha) and misc crap put away. I put a few free boxes out for the neighbors. I still had one box worth left over and put it in my car to take to the hospice shop but that didn't happen yet. Also a rolling case for a sewing machine which I debated keeping but it just takes up so much room and I don't think I'd use it much. 

Some day I'll get that blasted door replaced. It has tape holding it together so the wind doesn't blow through it. Maybe this weekend we can get a door. So far we won't be babysitting lol. SO FAR.


Tina thinks this is just here for her. She was cracking me up with her legs sticking out.


I went to the office today and spent most of the day cleaning up the folders and filing away the letters that I had sent. What a mess. I haven't been in charge of the folders for at least a year now and wow. I found a few applications that didn't get put in the system. That is not good. Who puts the important stuff in a folder on the last tab? It just looks like the folder is empty. Going to have to give a lesson the proper placement. 

We're having some kind of little meeting next week where we are going to get forced to use some new stupid spreadsheet the area office came up with. I have a feeling it will just be more work and I'll just have to keep TWO spreadsheets because it won't do what I want it to do. 

I went to the chicken bowl place for lunch and I'm still full. I laid down on my bed for a little bit when I got home and thought I'd get up and make dinner but I'm not hungry still. I'll cook tomorrow ;)

I think I'll go lay on my bed some more and check in on the election results every so often.

Hello happy Sunday!
I'm a few days behind blogging!

What did we have let me see. Halloween Thursday night. They had a trunk or treat down at the club house. I met the kids down there. Daniel loved it! He loved all the costumes.







After we came back to my house and I made a pizza ring. I couldn't find my old directions and the website didn't work anymore from Pinterest so I just had to Google and find something similar. It turned out good. I need to get a round pan and toss this one it's tired!


Jess & Daniel carved some pumpkins but I didn't have any candles or anything to light them up. Bad me. I didn't prepare for that though.


They hung out for awhile then it I was beat haha. 
Friday I had darts after work. I won the first game but that was it. So annoying when you can't hit the simple numbers to close out the games




Saturday morning I was up bright and early for my craft show. It rained in the morning before I got there and then it was just sweatshirt weather all day. This was a nice spot except I couldn't put my tables to the edge of my tent on the driveway side because of the slant. I didn't make a whole lot of money but it was busy almost all day so the day went by quick. 


Scott and I went to the store last night for kids snacks and some groceries.  I inventoried all my booth stuff last night and this morning. 

May or may not be watching the kids this afternoon. Seems to be up in the air at the moment. Need to do some laundry and cleaning before that I guess!

Hello Happy Halloween! 
I'm celebrating by eating all the candy I bought to hand out. 
We'll see if there is any left by tonight haha.

The kids came over yesterday while their mom went to the dr. My mom came over while they were here and brought me lunch and hung out. She brought the kids Halloween treats too.


These pics crack me up. I was like take a pic with a kid and she said oh how about a pic with all of them. Yeah right. Good luck haha.





Simon lol




I didn't do my hair so it looks lovely in these but eh it's me haha.




Rosie looking like a teenager on my phone lol. Simon says is that Pizza?


After they all left it was super quiet. Melissa and were looking into flights for her to come home for Thanksgiving so that was fun. I decided to go through some boxes of fabric while we were talking. I got two boxes measured and on cards while we talked. Now to put them away.


I've been uploading letters to the website all day. So boring. The end is in sight now though. Almost there!

Hello happy hump day!
Coughing from home and watching the kids in a little while when Jess goes to the Dr. Hope they all don't catch my cough since they have been here like 3 days this coughing week.

I keep giving Simon treats and she hides them around the house. Then later they reappear lol. She has some pieces stashed outside too that she will go to sometimes.


Dinner last night (#5), it was a crock pot recipe but I just made it in the oven. Turned out pretty good. I think it could have used a little Worcestershire sauce and or a splash of something tomato-y


Not too shabby. I was going to eat it for lunch today but now my mom said she'll bring me lunch. Probably be like 2 when she gets here though so maybe I'll have a little pre-lunch snack haha. 


Nothing too exciting going on around here. I have a craft show on Saturday so of course there is rain in the forecast. The only day of rain for a 10 day forecast and it's on Saturday. Always has to mess with us.  I still haven't hung out in my sewing room in forever. Kind of a long sewing break! I've mostly just been going to bed after I get done with whatever I have to do for the day. Hopefully this cough will go away soon so I have more energy.

Hello happy Monday from Lucy & Snookie. 
It's finally cooling off here. We actually have the heater on for a minute. 



I went and got my mammogram done. If only everything was done as quickly as that. It didn't even hurt and was done in 5 minutes or less. I did contemplate having to pee with their fountain in the waiting room though. I bet they think that water sound is calming. I already got my results back and everything was fine. TG for that!


I took 1/2 the day off for my appointment so I had the rest of the day to work on some meal planning. I made enchiladas for us for dinner and made an extra set for Jessica's house. I took them over there and came back with 2 kids lol. They are so cute asking to come to my house I can't tell them no.


They ended up staying for quite awhile since their parents went to go trade cars with someone. Hopefully the new car works out. Is is bigger so will fit all the kids better. 

I had some of my breakfast casserole I made for breakfast this morning.


I also made some flu fighter soup which is just a spicy chicken noodle soup. I need to get some more containers for food prepping purposes. I bought some but need more if I'm going to cook a bunch. We keep using them all for family parties and everyone taking home leftovers.

Not sure what I'm making for dinner tonight yet. I have a crock pot recipe I think I might just put in the oven since it's already noon.

Hello happy coughing Monday! 
It's also boob squishing day so I'm only working half a day today.

The kids came over to play yesterday so their mom could have a break and clean the house. Thought maybe nap too but I don't think that happened haha.

Daniel brought a bag of toys with him


He alternated between toys and the lap top


Nate was adorable as usual. He's such a happy baby. He RUNS in the walker now. Won't be long before he is just running without it I'm sure. He's almost 9 months old (2 more days).




Two cat naps


I think Trevor brought this crown home and they've played with it two weeks now.




I made some turkey taco soup for lunches


Scott made some ribs for dinner but didn't make anything to go with it. I would have but I was half asleep on my bed after the kids left. 


The kids had went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday with Daniel's cousin's family. Apparently it was too hot and little Daniel was lost for like 5 minutes. That boy is fast when you turn your head. 


I keep forgetting I have a craft show on Saturday. Hopefully I am done coughing by then. One can hope!

Good morning happy Saturday!
Still coughing a little but using my inhaler seems to help.

Ugh. I guess this isn't going to refill itself. Going to have to go to the store today. Luckily I still have coffee and creamer so I can wait a little bit.


Yesterday after work I mostly just laid on my bed watching videos. I did get up and make dinner though. I forgot to take a picture since Scott came home and actually sat at the table with me. 

I haven't been in my sewing room in like a week! I have an order to make a rag quilt that is 1 1/2 size the other ones I made. She wants Raiders fabric so I need to work on figuring those out soon. 

The cats take turns sleeping in the baby crib. At least it has a dual purpose. Oh it's good for holding laundry I need to fold too.
