Gotten Behind.

It seems I've gotten behind on my posting this week.  I have at least one craft post to put up and I wanted to tell you about my wonderful Mother's day. 

Saturday, Shawn was at geek fest or Dungeons and Dragons.  I spent the day at home with the kiddos.  We just hung out and had pasta for dinner.  Ben and I saw a commercial for Dairy Queen's cakes and decided we wanted cake.  We baked our own cake and I must say that it was so good.  Torren came over that evening to give me a mother's day card which I thought was so nice.  I got the sweetest cards from my husband and children.  Shawn even tried to help Sydney hold the pen and sign the card.  I also got lots of flowers.  Shawn got me roses that I put in a vase on the TV. 




















And he also got me a Lilly plant that I put on the table in the back yard so that it would bloom.  I love the colors of the flowers so much.

























I also, got these flowers from Shawn's parents and they are so beautiful!  Now I want more for my front yard, along the front walkway. 





















Sunday, we relaxed in bed for most of the morning, then went to KC.  We had delicious sushi for lunch.  I love sushi and apparently have gotten Shawn's mom hooked on it.  While the weather kind of sucked, we still made the best of it by playing outside.  Shawn pulled his mom and the kids around in the wagon, which was pretty funny.




















Then we had dinner.  Yummy steak and potatoes on the grill, steamed veggies and green bean casserole.  I loved it all.  We took a plate to Shawn's grandma and took the kids so she could see them even though they were both a little grumpy because it was around their nap time.  Shawn's mom gave the kids their baths and then we went home.  I had a great day, but I think those are the best days.  Low key and spending time with family.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
