Bubblegum Gumbo

I think this was the LONGEST week EVER. It's been cold, cloudy, lonely, and miserable. Greg hasn't been calling this week, so that makes me worry.

BUT........there have been a few good times this week. On Wednesday, I woke up to sunshine. I feel like it's been so long since I've seen the sun and felt it's warmth. I took my little man to the beach for a little while for lunch before we had to pick up Celeste. He still has problems with walking on sand; he's just so terrified of it for some reason. I don't mind so much, I can put down a large blanket and not have to worry about him running off.


Thursday was a bit disappointing, I had plans to go to the beach with a friend, but of course it was cloudy and cold, and she wasn't feeling well on top of that. I was supposed to watch baby Noah for a few hours and told Celeste, who got soooo excited to see him, but he ended up not coming over. It was very sad to have to tell Celeste we weren't going to the beach or seeing Noah. So after dinner, I got her some frozen yogurt.

On Friday, my boss helped me at work, so when it was time to pick up Celeste from school, I got to take my little family to the beach, cause the SUN came out!







Then I TRIED to take a nice little family picture....here is attempt number one:


After a few more like that, I finally got one. It's not perfect, but oh well.




That night, I just was NOT hungry, or feeling much like making dinner. By the time it was dinner time, Celeste asked what was for dinner. When I said I didn't know, she started looking through the pantry and stated she wanted sandwiches for dinner. I told her to make them, and she was sooo excited. She even made Caleb's dinner.



Today was.......quiet. I just finished Celeste's pillow sham for her quilt, so I can finally reveal it.

I based my design off of my friend Tiffany's daughter's blanket. the owl design is all mine but the layout is about the same as hers.





What's next? Calebs quilt and pillow sham. His will be black white and blue to match Celeste's. Instead of owls, Caleb gets military convoy going across his blanket, and a formation of jets on his pillow. My goal is to get this done by the time Greg comes home, so when he gets here, we can get the kids bunk beds and I want their bedding to be ready. After that is easy stuff; window trimming and bow holder. Also Greg needs to make a gun rack for Celeste's gun.

I took the babies out to IHop for a treat. I always share my food with Caleb, and we were eating hash browns and sausage and eggs, then I put the plate to the side and bring the pancakes in front of us, and he yells, "YAAAAAAY!!!" so loud a few people looked and giggled at us. he's just so genuin and joyful, I love it! On the way home, I told Celeste she needs to scoop poop and she asked if she only does it Saturdays. I told her she could do it ANY day she wanted, even tomorrow. She replied, "I'm too busy to scoop poop tomorrow, mom. I have to do puzzles, and get ready, and go to church, and eat breakfast, and watch movies.........mom, I have to watch all the Harry Potter movies. I want to learn all about him. I saw one today and watched it TWICE because he is so handsom. I'm too busy to scoop poop tomorrow." Where the heck does she get it from?? So I'm watching Captain America now....ooh man is that guy handsom.

Anywho, have a super awesome day, all.
