Sorry

Okay, I suck! I forgot to proofread (AHHHHHH!) I can't believe I did that. Sorry, I suck! Well, since I am doing another one let me add in these pics I took of the most beautiful sunset I have seen in a very, very long time. Myka said she heard one time that she heard sunsets and their bold colors are awesome in Arkansas because of all the meth labs! We were coming back from spending a wonderful time with her son.


Ruby Discovers Tape!












Ruby loves to draw, so much in fact that she can't stop once she starts! She can't stop until the notebook is full or it gets misplaced! Her Daddy brings her little notebooks from work that she fills with "machines", mostly herself and family, sometimes an animal will get thrown in. She is so very proud of these and we are too so we let her know so much, maybe too much! So she decides to turn the house into her personal gallery with.........yep, tape! Around every corner in out tiny lil house you can see some of her masterpieces, she even trades them out herself. She put this one one the inside of the bathroom door so it would surprise her Daddy when he got home and went to the bathroom. It is Ruby and me. She is actually the big one, it is us when we are "grown up"!



This one is her Indian Princess. She has a feather and some war paint on her face. Oh yeah, it is her as an Indian Princess..................DUH! It is in the living room next to the hall.



And a close up, sorry the flash was just too strong! You can kind of see the war paint!



This is one is of a fairy and a pic of her Daddy she was trying to write Daddy you are sad on it. Her words got a little out of order! They are in the kitchen!



This is a montage of pics. It is her favorite place for her artwork. I guess it is because it is where she ends up drawing a lot of her pictures here.


The last one is my favorite! It was scanned in so it is pretty light...sorry! It is a family pic. The extra child is Ducky. You might remember that with the last pregnancy Ruby declared that she will be calling the Baby, Ducky. Well she has kept up with that thought everyday and brings it up a lot. He/She makes some appearances in her artwork. I guess it is her way of dealing or just reminding me that she still wants a sibling and I need to get with it! The family is on their way to beach, we have matching sunshine shirts on and necklaces. The road and trees are under us.
We are getting ready to go on vacation (yea! yippie!) to the beach in about 2 weeks. Sooooo excited! Hope you all enjoyed my budding artist!

Weekend

Well, we got the beast back on Friday. We were so happy .....................til Saturday morning!! Ha just kidding, it was the afternoon! No seriously, we are very happy to have her back. So Saturday I start cleaning out the laundry room and actually stay motivated almost the whole day !!SHOCK!! I know! On Sunday Matt was off and he watched some golf thing while I continued to work on the room and when it was over he came to help! Yea Matt! Ruby was planted firmly in front of the computer for the early part so we could work. Then we put her in the pool! Stuff got thrown away, stuff was moved outside, floor got swept, and then I decide we should just sand these nasty walls and prime them then paint them the white we already have! I know you are thinking, Hannah, white walls, really? Yep thatsa what I'ma doin'!! We are going to make that lil area my creative corner! I have some awesome fantastic plans for it!! Yea me! Since we were sanding the walls we turned the AC off out there and opened the windows with a fan to pull out the dust. It was sooooooo HOT! After the second coat of primer we decided to join Ruby in the pool to cool off before dinner was started. Matt was able to continue the other side on Monday but he ran out of primer so we gotta get some so we can continue it this weekend and hopefully finish it, the painting part any way! Lots more funk to come to it though!

Hello all!

Well..........I am ever so lonely! My sweet little enormous beast is on vacation. She is living it up with her Auntie Sara. I realize how lucky I am that I have someone that loves her almost as much as I do. When they got to Sara's house and call to let me know that they arrived, I get a quick lil, "Goodnight Mommy and do you wanna talk to Auntie Sara?" She's a busy girl, she has a friend to play with! I don't even think she knows that I am not there somewhere! With her not here, the house is quiet, no idle chatter, none of her famous one liners that crack me up, no bedtime story...........oh crap I gotta stop!! I miss my Beast!! But I know she is having a blast.

So, speaking of her one liners, I gotta get this girl in some acting!! Anyone know how?! I think I am going to start a side bar with her funny little comments, but they are so much funnier when you hear the voices that she uses and her facial expressions. Well I leave you with pics of my greatest accomplishment!

Welcome!

Hello Everybody!


Today started out as a day with big plans, there was this, this, that, and oh yea that too, that needed to be done. We always start big and end up fizzing out way too early. Matt started strong and early this morning. His main goal today was to get the puppies out of the house and outside in their nice lil manger! (yea Matt!) I on the other hand..........not so much! I slept in late(horrible habit). I did however, with Matt's help, clean up the dining room and rearrange it. (yea me!) We did that so I could finish one of the million projects I have started! So I get started sewing and all was going great until I realize that, oh I need some of that, crap I ran out of that, where the hell did that go, and so forth! So what do I do but start another project of course!! That by the way is still laying incomplete on the table! Ruby on the other hand knew what she wanted to do this day and by God she was going to do it!! So she asked every five to six minutes if we could have a water balloon fight until finally we could! (yea Ruby!) Life sometimes starts out great, then frustrating, then back to great! All in all it was good day!
