Wow...what a weekend

and its ONLY Sat...So I spent all Friday at McKinlees school although I said I wouldn't...then Tanner went to play at his new BFF Reese's house - and while he did that, Reese's mom and big sister, Chance, McKinlee and I went shopping...Mckinlee got the new Build a Bear *usually we only do a "bear" and then clothes later...using coupons since they are so high - but we splurged and got an outfit AND shoes it is so cute, I should not be lazy and up load the pics...then we walked around Firewheel, the weather is finally starting to get sooo nice! Chance came home and spent the night with us, some giggly girls - we had petticures and tons of giggles - I was worried they wouldn't sleep and we Both had an EARLY start!! It wasn't so bad they were asleep before 11...

BUT, woke me up about 7ish ... but they were so good!! I had a 9:45 hair appointment...I missed it ( that was way early i shouldn't have even tried, but ya know) anyway, Chelsea reeeeaaaalllllly wanted me to chop all the hair off, so she made me an appointment with her lady...at 11:15...yea...and she was watching the kids *BONUS* she didn't tell me the lady was sooooo slow...so after 1pm I hookem over to HBJ to watch super cute Chloe cheer her heart out!! I reeaallyy need to get McKinlee in that...so those that actually read this remind me next spring...mckinlee cheer...ok sorry - so I got my are CHOPPED ALL OFF...AND didn't tell Chris...wonder if he will notice? hehe
After Chloes game off to the DAM picnic, holy cow there were tons of DAMers...my kids had a blast and that park completely ROCKS! It was the scottish rite hospital - so we also got to donate to an awesome cause! played for an hour then tried really hard to get to the harbor to take pics of my brother, Travis has homecoming tonight for his GF. well it took me over 30 mins to get 5 miles on the final stretch I was soo mad, but did get a few...another lazy moment still haven't uploaded pics...
sooooo, basically we left the house this am at 9am and didnt get home until after 7pm and we have a Halloween party HERE tomorrow, SO I better get to bed just to be super crazy tomorrow and next week as well! nighty night friends!

Fun at the Fair

So we went to the Fair yesterday...we had rain monday and the air cooled down - it made for a PERFECT fair day yesterday, even chilly at times!! McKinlee went to school and I had some copies to run and I got McKinlee outta school at 10:30 (had to be there for attendance ;) ) then off we went...Chris had the day off as he is going OOT so he went with us!! He did say the ONLY thing we can do is that car show (haha) but he actually gave in a little! we saw elsie the cow - lots of animals to feed - we got to sit in a corvette, and I sat in a Hummer!! if only we could afford one, then i would fit in around Rockwall ;) the kids rode a few rides, Tanner made me laugh so hard - he rode the HUGE rides at 6 flags LAST year but we got on a smaller roller coaster and well he ended up crying...but not to after the ride. he pushed out of the handles RUNNING off the ride....silly boy - so then mckinlee spots 'baby' swings again that Tanner has rode again and again - well he looks at the lady all funny that put him in then smiles for a pics RIGHT before BURSTING into tears!! he FINALLY settles in for the tea cups!! i had lots of laughs from the little guy...even this am, he stated that the "dragon ride" was toooo fast! we had some corny dogs/carmel apples yum yum...why there *IS* a fair!

Chris is OOT for a week - YIKES, good thing we have tons of plans in the coming week...girl scouts, picnic, halloween party, school stuff and more im sure!

some fair pics....

quick catchup

holy moly..what a week...we had a big sale for yearbook at mckinlees school (i am the chairperson) and YAAY me I sold like 70 books!! that is awesome for the 1st few days!! anyways i bet I spent 20 hours up at the school last week, man oh man!!

I have mckinlees evaluation, her teacher said she was in the top reading group and that she gets along with everyone (DUH- my social butterfly;) ) even the ones HARD to get along with...I hope she gets that from me, I was friends and like almost everyone...i was fairly Popular and most of my friends weren't in that group and well..i just didnt' care!! i hope she will be like this as well!!! I am very proud of her though, she missed one problem in math - and Ms tanner said she thought they were pretty hard!! my little smarty!! she reads a lot and TONS to tanner is so sweet!!

Im not watching Jamie anymore, so Tanner and I had fun when we weren't at mckinlee school - we went to Sara's to play with Sara and Rissa - went to Chucke Cheese with Reese and then to the bounce house with Reese and Madison...we have pics will have to add later!! he has so much fun with all his girls!

Man oh Man!! then Fri had to finish Teddy bear Tea then get up Sat to finish still and then host/particiapate in it! it was great, Sky took pics of all the mom/daughter everyone was so dressed the part and seemed to have a GREAT time! Heard lots of great reviews, which makes it worth it...but man I was glad for it to be over!! although that just meant a few hours of pic editing and a new week to do it all again!! But I think they are cute, if I say so myself...

Then today we had a Birthday party at the park, Why oh Why is it 90 degrees in almost MID october.

Im not watching jamie anymore, i will miss her - but will have a little more time to get things done I hope anyway...first on the list - Tanners Birthday Invite - it is getting so close! Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!

Its WAY to hot for October, I mean I understand we are in Texas, but MAN!! Mckinlee had a fair day today we decided since every weekend is booked to go to the pumpkin patch...well....it was soo hot!! we were there long enough for pics and left!! Im sooooooo ready for FALL!!!

we had picked up Chera and Cassidy so we went for ice cream and back to their place to work on Pics for tanners bday ( i can NOT believe he will be 3 soon) anyways by the time we were done it was traffic time so we just hung out!! they all rock for letting us stay :) My kids just love that whole family!!! when we left we stopped by collin creek I need to RETURN some stuff to the Disney store and i got tanner a Capt jack outfit for his bday/halloween, I am SUCH a Disney SUCKER!!! why do i NOT own stock in them??? I spent MORE money of course...man oh man

Congrats to Christina and James she is just BEAUTIFUL!!! anyway we left the house at 10am, and didnt' get home until 8:30 tanner was already a sleep and Mckinlee quickly followed!! 2 more days this week!! then a busy weekend...man where does the time go????

just because, here are a few more pics from today!!

***YAY i learned how to add pics!! watch out!! i take WAY to many hehe**

I can sew!!!!

Not very good, but i DID it!! so on DAM a friend is host a sewing club - ive always wanted to do it, but never actually did - I will admit I just assumed it was super easy and you could do it fast...well I have a new found respect for those that make those outfits!! and the money they charge!! first of all - for everything I need for one outfit it was $25!! so it is NOT cheaper to make your stuff!! and the 2 hour sew pattern took me about 6 to 8 hours...REMEMBER, though - this was my very first time to even use a sewing machine, so i was realllllllllly slow!! but I did it and it is wearable!!

So my Granny helped me - and by help she just guided me, I actually did 100% of the sewing!! I was so proud of me!! I can't wait to do more things!! This is my last week watching jamie, Im a little sad, but that also means I have thursday to do stuff for ME!!!! The kids went to play with their cousin, Nathan and had TONS of fun!! Nathan has gotten Tanner into Power Rangers, OMG...I am so not sure about the "boy" toys and shows!! I can handle Pixar movies and stuff - but power rangers, YIKES!

Not much else has happened, I just wanted to brag on my sewing ;) McKinlee is out of school tomorrow for the fair, we arent going but hanging out with friends, so Im sure Ill have something to say!! sorry guys we are not to exciting!!
