Disney Dream taking it's 1st cruise 1/26/11

OK last 3 photo's are suppose to be at the end of this post.

opps

K, my mom and I spent a few hours out at the park to watch this ship take it's 1st cruise.

This is one big ship

Just some neat info:

The ship was built in Germany in two different ship yards as it was too large to be built at one location. when both sides were finished they brought them together and welded together and finished.

Halloween Frame..DIY..small fun project

My remake of a cheap Ikea frame. This is our Frame for our October crafts...I have a full list of crafts for K and I to do for the month. Yes, daily craft projects. Have to have some art in our life.

Anyways each week I change out the list for the current weeks crafts. Even though I have a master list this just makes a cute way to list our list for the week that makes it really easy to see which craft I need to set up 1st thing in the morning.

Make your own

Supplies

Cheap frame

mod podge

glitter (I used Martha Stewart's fine glitter)

Ribbon

Scrapbook paper

wooden character

glue (tacky glue)

hairspray

Stamps if you want

ink pad or stamp markers or washable markers also work

Step one the frame take out the glass and paint the frame with mod podge and cover in glitter shake off and let DRY.

Step two repeat step one this should fully cover the frame

Step three spray with hairspray to hold glitter in place..works pretty good at keeping the glitter in place and not all over your house.

Step four cut scrapbook paper to fit the frame

Step five mod podge on ribbon around the sides

Step six put the wooden character on the frame and let dry

Step seven put the frame back together and now your DONE..

Enjoy :o)

New Bed

K got a new bed with trundle.

His pillow case are in the wash so he had mama's pillows on there. He has the fire truck theme happening in his room.

He's loving the new bed so this is one HAPPY mama :o)

Sorry Been a BAD blogger

WOW! it's been a LONG time since I've posted on here. Things became crazy over the summer break. K finished Kindergarten right on track on everything besides for Math and he finished the year already finishing the 1st book of 1st grade Math. He's a Math nut yet he still at times will say he doesn't know something even when you know he knows it. We are working on his self confidence. He's like his mom and well it's not always the best way. What I mean by that is I have a hard time showing something/saying something if I'm not 100% sure it's correct or perfect in the gymnastics world. Yeah I know not the best place but I have gotten so much better about it esp. when working with K. I saw this trait right from the early years. He never pushed up to all fours to crawl and do that whole rocking thing. He pushed up only when he was ready to roll. One day at his Aunt Leslie's apt he pushed up and crawled away fast making it into 2 rooms before we got him...note wasn't a huge place but he was GONE just like that. The same thing happened with walking he stood up and was just a pace shy of running (that was a week later). So yes he showed the trait from a young age.

Both Isaac and I enjoyed our 30th birthdays. One of us was bummed about it and the other was out right excited to start a new chapter in life. Isaac I planned a secret trip to a resort that had a water park right on the grounds, Dinner (Joes crab shack) and cake and Beer of his choice (I don't drink so I guess it's always beer of his choice). We had a ton of fun floating in the lazy river, watching K play in the pools and watching Isaac go on the water slides oh yes and relaxing next to the pool laying out. For my Birthday getaway we spent it at Disney World (Hollywood/Magic) and had my dinner at one of my favorite quick eats (Pei Wei) and then shopping at the outlet mall but it was so HOT that I had a headache so cut it short and went home. We had some scary moments but test where done and everything was PERFECT. We found the most amazing doctor for the family so in the long run a huge fear that was had is being worked on. God is good he knew what needed to be done to kick the fear even through it was scary. We were never alone and we felt that.

Now things at the home front are starting to settle down and get back to normal. for no reason that I am aware of I am suddenly deep cleaning all the nook and cranny's. Some call it nesting but what am I nesting for??? We are heart ready is it gods timing now??? I'm not sure but each and every day that goes by we start to feel more and more ready to move fwd in the process of bring home a brother/sister for K. Right now we can only have a boy unless it's a baby as we only have a teeny tiny house with 2 bedrooms but a room that could be converted if our landlord would allow (which there is a chance she LOVES US). She even came in and sat with us when the medics/fire dept was at the house doing all the vitals. Yeah scary stuff.

Well that pretty much sums up the summer for us. School just started after our month off summer break and it's going pretty well. I will start updating the school page shortly I am currently having a designer design our page to fit our school program.

Hugs to all
