\\\Cold and Flu Season Sucks///

So, Ashton and I are both sick. Ashton has croup and I have a cold. He has been coughing, had a fever, and threw up this morning. Poor little man! I hate when he is sick. I wish I could just take on all of his symptoms and him be well. All of my daycare kids are sick too. So that makes for lovely days. We are all crabby and tired and just plain miserable. So there's my past few days in a nut shell...
On top of all of that I still have to be housekeeper, wife, mommy, and friend. By the time the daycare kids get picked up I am so exhausted that I don't have any energy to do anything. But still I make dinner, do the dishes, clean the play room, bath Ashton, get him ready and in bed, then get to go to bed myself. But I love doing it all and I wouldn't change anything. Other than the us being sick part....
Ok, I'm going to bed now, hoping I will wake up feeling better.

...{camping 2010}...

This summer we did some camping and it was a lot of fun! It was Ashton's first time! He did very well. I knew he would though because he loves being outside. The only thing is we need to get a new bigger air mattress. But we will for sure be taking family camping trips again in the future!

It was a beautiful day on February 18th so the kids and I decided to go to the park and feed the ducks. The kids decided to just eat the bread themselves rather than feed the ducks! lol Good thing the bread was good. :)

New things I am going to make!

I LOVE crafts and I have been searching the web to find new ideas. I want to try to make new things that I haven't done before, so here are some of my ideas...


I am going to make a burp cloths, cloth books, tag blankies, and a baby wrap.







I love to bake and I had a lot of fun making Ashton's birthday cake so I have decided to try making and decorating some cakes. Here is what I found:






Another passion of mine is scrapbooking, although I don't get to it as often as I would like. I want to make some scrapbook covers to sell...
