Good morning happy Sunday!

I am sick AGAIN. How many colds can one person get? 

Three so far since the end of October. 

AND I've been drinking 2 packs of Emergen C a day the whole time.  

Maybe it would have been worse without it?

Today would have been my father in laws 96th birthday. I miss the old guy! 

Yesterday I got up early and went to my craft show.

]

It was foggy as shit and I white knuckled it all the way there. It was even foggy in town. 

This church is so cute inside. A lot of people came and set up the night before. When the girl next to me with that huge display thing came she was upset that there wasn't enough room for people to walk around her display. Like, sorry? Too bad for you lol. I couldn't put a lot of my stuff out since there wasn't enough room either.  

This event ended up being a bit of a sleeper but I still make a small profit so it was ok. I need to really bring something to do when I go to these things. Some kind of handwork I can just set down. I used to crochet or make yo-yo's. Might have to do that again if I'm going to be doing more shows.

This other lady had some great display things. Loved this that she had her bags hanging on. She said it was from Amazon. She was such a nice lady.

She said someone made this for her for her blankets. 

I hope she sold some stuff. The girl behind me didn't even make enough to cover her booth fee ($45) until right before it was over. I think a lot of people didn't sell anything. I only bought a cup of soup and some cookies lol. 

Last night I went through and inventoried all my stuff again. I'm finally down to under 300 cup cozies after giving them away for 4/$1.00 for a few shows. I didn't have them out yesterday since I didn't have enough room but I had a couple people ask me about them so they shopped behind the table. I was able to put them into a smaller box now so that is good!

I don't have anymore craft shows booked so that is probably it for holiday stuff! I thought about putting my stuff out next weekend but it's supposed to rain again.

The kids are supposed to come over this afternoon/evening while Jess works. Hopefully this cold is the one they had so they don't get another one. Scott came home sick the other day so we don't know which virus is which lol.

Good morning happy FriYeah!

It's kind of cold this morning I had to go get some socks on lol.

Last night I finished up the coasters I was working on and got them all packaged up. I just need to add price tags but I think I might be out.

I made enchiladas with ground beef and black beans for dinner last night. I may have got another one. 

I was going to be babysitting today but the kids were sleeping in a bit so they aren't here yet. Jess just said the cook at the restaurant just quit and left so she might not be working today after all. Hopefully they can get the other cook to come in so she doesn't lose out on money.

Hello happy Thursday!

Haven't done much the last few days but work and sew Christmas fabric scraps lol. Oh and I made dinner the last two nights so yeah me. 

Coasters and misc squares sewn together

Kung Pao Chicken, a favorite

Chicken & Potato Casserole everyone likes this one

The kids are coming over tomorrow while Jess works then I have darts. Saturday bright and early is the craft show, which they said they have room for me inside now so that will be warmer!

Yesterday I went with Jess to take the kids to the doctor. Two out of three had ear infections and the baby got meds for his cough too. Hopefully they start feeling better!

Good morning happy Tuesday!

 I've been having cramping this morning so I didn't go into the office. Hopefully it goes away soon. I feel a little better already after taking some Tylenol. 

Look at our spread for Bunco last night! I don't think we've had that much food in awhile.

Yesterday after work I went to the grocery store then zoomed back home and was only a few minutes late for Bunco. Trevor put all the groceries away for me so that was nice.

Simon looking pretty this morning. She was sleeping but caught me taking the pic.

I need to buy some more blankets for our bed. It's COLD this year. Or I'm getting old. Or maybe both haha. 

Not much else going on. Tomorrow morning I'm going to go with Jess to take the kids to the dr for a check up since they've all been sick so long. Just an ear check and all that. They seemed to be feeling better on Sunday though. 

Darts on Friday (and some babysitting I think), craft show Saturday (I think they haven't sent any updates) and babysitting on Sunday.  Busy busy.

Hello happy Sunday and December 1st.

This year just flew by.

Friday evening we watched the kids while Jess worked. Nate decided Auntie Melissa was mommy 2.0 lol. 

Rosie was so tired I laid her down on my bed and she fell asleep. 

Tina put herself in the dog pen when Simon was chasing her around. So funny. She was like BASE.

Yesterday we didn't do a whole lot but went out to lunch at the Mongolian BBQ. Melissa wanted to go there before she went home.  We had an early lunch then Trevor went to work and we came back to the house to hang out until it was time to take her to the airport. 

We dropped her off at 4 and she finally got home at 11:30. 

That included her going to dinner so not too bad. 

I finished getting all my Christmas fabric scraps cut up from the fabrics I used for the wine bags. I did a few string blocks and now sewing some of the 2" squares together. Not sure for what yet but just using them up.

Scott is making us breakfast and then maybe I can get him to go to the store for some snacks for the kids and some necessities. I don't want to go. If not maybe we can wing it lol.

Hello happy Black Friday! 

Do people still go shopping today?

We all just finished off the leftover Pumpkin Pie for pre-breakfast lol. Breakfast is more like brunch at this point since Scott just started making it and it's after 10. 

The littles came over in the afternoon so their mom could finish setting up for the party at their house. Here is Nate-Man helping me pose with my finished turkey before I cut it up lol.

My mom brought over this little rocking Lion for the kids. Tubz was petrified of it but is finally not as scared. Daniel brought it into the kitchen to have a meal with the rest of his animals he plays with. 

I took Rosie home before we were ready so she could have some quite time with Ms Rachel and hopefully take a nap. She was still sleeping when we got there and slept through most of dinner. She still doesn't feel 100%. 

Melissa got ready to go and then Trevor comes out with a matching flannel. She was like NoOOOOooo you have to go change. It was so funny. He did eventually go change but not before teasing her for awhile.

The tables were set up so cute

Extra/game holding table 

Kind of got him to smile lol. I was trying to get a good one of him and his shirt since my friend gets the kids holiday clothes.

I spy a Christmas tree

I may have actually ate all that. Maybe.

I did not eat all this though lol

Baby #4 coming in April. 

She always wears baggy clothes so I was like wow look at that baby!

We played a bunch of games after dinner. That was really nice.

Hard to believe it's almost Christmas but here we are again. The last few nights it's finally got colder!
