SNOW!!

It Snowed most of the morning and is still raining today. I got in the car it was 63* by the time I was done running errands it was 36* and it snowed and snowed. Of course it didn’t stick, it seemed very strange for snow to be falling when lately we haven’t seen a drop of anything.

Sierra is bored out of her gourd. everyone has found something to do and all she wants is my computer.

Business is going well at the boutique.

eBay is doing well devhoneystout is my eBay name in case anyone is ever interested in buying my stuff.

The kids are well. Aurora’s sickness I think is better.

We are going to the Circus tonight with a bunch of Nathan’s family. It will be a good time.

I sell COOKIE LEE JEWELRY now if anyone is interested, and I Guess I’m also a SHAKLEE consultant. GO GREEN!!

I’ll give more updates on those soon. I may also start selling Layers clothing, It’s pretty cute and if I can get a discount and make $ the more the merrier!

Spooky ghosts, ookey mean, weary boast of the scary queen! Ghosts and goblins,

goons galore. BUT BEWARE !!! THERE’S SO MUCH MORE!!!

!!HAILEY STOUT!!

SCHOOL CARNIVAL Last MONDAY FHE
I packed up the 4 kiddos and took them to the Fall Carnival at the school.

I carried Aurora on my hip. Chased Zach around and took the girls to all the fun stuff.

This one actually turned out way better than the last. The Inflatables didn’t get into an accident and were set up on time for kids to play on them. There was a super cute Train (I just typed Choo-Choo instead of train and had to think adult for a moment) It was on wheels so it could go all over the field. It was tiny I may be able to get a couple pictures off my cell phone -assuming they turned out OK. Zach cried when he had to get off of it. He held on for dear life to stay in. . .you see. . .he LOVES CHOO CHOOs and the chugga chugga noise we make together.

There were all kinds of mini games and we paid to go to the Magic show, which I pulled the kids out of early because the babies had had enough. I’m sure Hailey and Sierra would have loved to stay longer but when you are alone and the whole world is watching you you are better off as far away from them as possible when embarrassing moments come – and if they cannot lend a hand, I can find my way out.

We all got cotton candy (even aurora had a taste and I got the kids dinner at the carnival. They brought in Chic Fil AY we sat at the table and watched the karaoke kids sing.

That was out FAMILY HOME EVENING for the week. I think Nathan might have enjoyed that carnival he was on a business trip then.

TUESDAY CT GIRLS NIGHT OUT

WEDNESDAY
Made an appointemnet to get my FAT looked at – There was a free consultation and I just wanted to see the rates for lazer hair removal – at my age it would be so worth it – It would save a TON of time in the shower and lots of money on razors, and lots of razor rash and spikey legs!

I had my friend Koa take Zach and Aurora while I went to an appointment, then I made one for Aurora- again she isn’t getting over her stuffy nose sickenss that she has had for almost a month. They figured this time instead of bronchiolitis that she has a sinus infection and need antibiotics for 10 days. If thats true – what Do I have this sickness and Icannot get rid of it and it doesn’t feel like a sinus infection – I just want all the sick to GO AWAY!

KIDS PLAYGROUP, CARD MAKERS GROUP, BIRTHDAY DESSERT at APPLEBEES – thanks for the invite Tammy. The orange dreamsicle cake was truly “dreamy”

THE BOUITIQUE
I made 55.45 – $10 for the rental space – I’ve made money on it!!! That was super quick and one of my dresses sold for FULL PRICE! It must have been a size 8 for a baptizm, but hey 44.95 for a dress I got for $10 yes. . .I paid $10 for each. I made signs and gave them for the botique Wednesday so they could include some of my items in the storewide GRAND OPENING sale Fri-Sat. I may just keep all those items on sale.

Birthday Party night out for my friend Karen.

THESE PAST 4 DAYS> > >

Hailey got sick for a while. Was sitting on the recliner watching TV (she says “Doing Stuff”) She was sick with the pukes. And a sore stomach that felt really bad “like it was going to explode”. She kept track and said she puked 4 times. It took 2 days.

Mommy had the same thing and laid in bed with Zach and Aurora all day Thursday-Thankfully Nathan got home in time to help me out a bit.

Zach got it and had it for 3 days.

Sierra hasn’t puked but has had a awfully sick tummy- she will puke soon I think, I think Nathan was the same way.

Aurora has done her share of puking to!

Life has been completely full and stressful. I’m about to go back to being a STAY AT HOME MOM.

I think I did 8-10 loads of laundry this week and I haven’t got around to the area rugs, and some other bedding.(and Nathan took over the folding so I could finally dig around in the storage room (or whatever) and get it a little more organized.

What I learned about the sickenss – when you feel good, make the most of it and get as much done as you can! I was so weak I couldn’t walk. I still feel like my chest cannot get a big breath.

I’m having a pretty bad time being a good wife lately. I actually get out and have fun and I’m making a ton of friends and I’m REALLY REALLY REALLY HAPPY. Because the one thing I REALLY REALLY like to COLLECT is Friends.

Can you tell Aurora is sleeping ans Zach is being entertained by the girls on this Sunday afternoon? I’ve had too much time to talk. I’m starting to sound all tripped out like some other person I know

Just a reminder. . .

I’m collecting BOX TOPS for Education. Just clip them and stick them under your silverware drawer. I’ll come get them or you can ship them to me I’ll send a SASE so you don’t even have to pay or label the envelope that you will just GET!. You should have my email by now.

I’m also collecting pampers diaper codes - they are inside the plastic packages they are stickers that peel off. I want to get some christmas stuff for the kiddos with those. ANYONE YOU KNOW have babies that use pampers even once in a while please send them.

I’m trying to make money for christmas. or find ways to make christmas cheap for the kids this year. those are 2 things I can think of that wouldn’t bee too hard for you to snach up for me.
THANKS

Kids Playgroup with CT buddies

Card Group:

Here are what the cards look like when complete.

Hope this helps:

Whirlwind days!

I had a winderful reunion last night with some friends from CT that have moved nearby and one flew out for a visit.

It was great seeing them. Becky C called me, She told me Ruth M was coming to town and wanted to do a girls night out and then a day for the kids to play. They told me Linda T. would be there and gave me her phone #. I called her and she gave me June C.’s phone # I called her and didn’t tell anyone that I actually got a hold of her and she was going to come. So SUPRISE. All 5 of Us met at a nice restraunt and had a great time. Ruth has a picture on her camera but I won’t see it until after she gets back home.

I had to get a sitter and came home to Zach throwing up for most of the rest of the night. Not sure why. But he’s better now.

And Aurora has a sinus infection.

Little Princess Aurora

Tomorrow Aurora will be 6 months old!

She’s growing so fast now, and comparing her physical busy body to the other kids she is acting like my 9 month old babies did.

Granted Zach did sit up at 5 months old, Aurora is doing that TOO. She’s still very short but has a very sturdy botton and great ab muscles.

Aurora gets on her belly and does push ups like she is getting ready to crawl her arms are a little stonger than her legs at this point so they stop her from moving forward so she scoots back. I’ll leave her on the living room floor to play and before I know it she will have scooted half her body under the sofa.

Aurora laughs when you make quick movements withyour head and cause a brush of wind to blow by her face. She laughs when she is tipped back and her neck gets tickled. She smiles all the time. Especially when people smile at her. Her personality is so sweet.

There are few times she gets frustrated One is holding her frog toy on her excersaucer and not wanting to let go so she makes a deep grunting fussy sound until someone comes to fix the problem. She also gets frustrated when she sticks herself half way under the couch and can’t scoot anywhere anymore. =)

She is a winderful car rider. She will sit in her car seat for 1/2 a day and put up with all the errands I have to run, as long as there is a bottle, pacifier, toy and a smile nearby. She loves to be smiled at. Did I mention. . .She loves to smile!

She coos and talks up a storm ocassionally.

Aurora loves sucking on toys, paper, fingers, pacifiers and anything she can get in her hands and up to her mouth.

We love her dearly. And can’t imagine our family complete, without her sweet presence.
