Complete-YIPPEE!!!!

First things first-Happy Monday!!!! Did everyone have a great weekend? Mine was pretty good. I tried to do as little as possible.
Last weeks pictures were easy to do this week-The clouds were beautiful!!

And this little evil most horrible creature was found in my hallway. This is the 6th one we have found in 4 months. Everyone says it is because we are in a new house and that eventually we won't have them, one can only hope-Ugh I hate these things. Gotta love Texas-Eck I have the creepys just looking at this picture-So here you are:

Moving on :) This week was pretty easy to complete :) I totally wanted to make sure that I was not a slacker this time around. So I made a point to be productive this weekend. I completed the picture challenge, decided on the craft that I AM going to make, got myself organized (my closet included), completed my financial aid, and cleaned. I am feeling pretty good about myself :)
In my opinion though, these are kind of crap but I love the one with my youngest and his mouth full:)

Have a great week!!!!

Playing catch-up

Morning guys! Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I tried really hard last weekend (a week ago) to find pictures of clouds but there was not a single one in the sky. I kept watch out all week, but still no clouds. I didn't actively seek out bugs but I will usually come across a spider or two over the weekend. I didn't have a single one this whole week. I am not complaining though. This past weekend was a different cloud story though. The sky was full of awesome puffy goodness. I was scared at first because Saturday had fabulous clouds, but I didn't have my camera with me. We spent all day at a couples bridal shower (making gagging sounds). Fortunately, Sunday was no disappointment. There was an abundance of clouds making a wonderful photo opportunity.
While I was out snapping away at the clouds I came across this little guy. He has made a nest in my garden so he won't be around much longer, but I decided to capture his picture before I sic my husband on him.
Lastly, we had the current challenge. I didn't cook any food so I didn't take any pictures of food. I know, I am a crappy wife. I just wasn't feeling the cooking bug. I was feeling the sit on the couch and watch Criminal Minds re-runs bug. I did take a picture of my mani-pedi from Friday so that counts as hands (and toes).
I hope you enjoy my pictures. I cannot wait to see what my sis took since we made a pact to make up for last week no matter what.

Friday-YAAA!!!

Ok-So I know that we totally suck this week. In my defense it was the first week of school for my kiddos and it has been alittle crazy. This week has gone by really FAST too-which is pretty impressive considering all of the craziness. The boys had a great first week-Fingers crossed that they will have a great year!!!
For the weekend we have decided that we WILL definitely do last weeks project this week and still do this week's too. Just alittle bit of cheating though-this week's will be VERY easy :0.
Our weekend challenges:
1. Bugs/Insects
2. Clouds
3. Hands
4. Food
I was hoping that I would get away with being lazy this weekend and not have to go anywhere. Oh NO that will not happen-I was informed yesterday that I will be driving kids to the school @ 6:30 Saturday morning for a Tennis match-YIPPEE. So NO sleeping in for me:( Maybe Sunday:/
Anywho-Have a great weekend!!! Totally expect results this week!!
Until Monday!!

Bugs and Clouds

Happy Friday!!! I hope everyone had a great week. Mine wasn't too shabby :) This is the last weekend of Summer for my boys. Monday is the first day of school. Why oh why does the Summer disappear so FAST!!!? I hated it when I was a kid and still hate it as an adult. But I guess that is the way things are-FUN always feels like a second and Misery always feels like forever.
My two older boys are excited and ready to get back to friends. They both will be in High School this year. WOW they grow up so fast-Which is weird because I really don't feel like I am getting older (ok maybe alittle). My youngest had much rather sit around the house relaxing (much like his mom), and he doesn't really care for school much. He will be at a new school this year so maybe he will find some excitement and joy for learning.
Anyways-For our weekend challenges (drum roll please-Just Kidding)
#1-Bugs/Insects-This should be LOADS of fun since I really HATE them all. I don't not care what kind they are I do not want to see them or be near them.
#2-Clouds-Hopefully it will be sunny this weekend and the clouds will be nice and fluffy.
That is all for now-Have a great weekend!!! Talk to you all on Monday!

Self portraits

I am SO sorry. I didn't do the challenge when I was supposed to. However, I did do it today so I am still posting my results. Because I was at work when I took my self portrait I thought it best to also edit them on the computer. I don't look my bestest at work since I am not a morning person. My perfect shift is a late shift. Unfortunately my work doesn't offer those.
I did get 2 of the 4 quilt blocks finished. I will post pictures when I have finished the other two. I am behind since July was such a busy month for me. Have no fear - I have faith that I will get the other two completed on time.
