Claustrophobic?

Yes that would be me today...

I am so tired of my messy overwhelming house. It is starting to drive me a wee bit bonkers!!!

Because of the mounds of laundry, dust EVERYWHERE, most of my kitchen stuff in my bedroom, all the other kitchen stuff around the almost empty but not quite kitchen and filthy living room, and just plain disorganized dirty everything, I was feeling a bit claustrophobic.

So my plan....

take the cranky fighting kids to the park with our lunch and have a little outdoors time.

Oh and I decided it would be a great idea to bring our little Daisy along for the ride.

(I would post a picture of her but I can't find my camera in my messy house)

Well it was a huge mistake to go to the park!!!

Talk about claustrophobic.

As soon as I got out of the car with my boys dog and food I felt like a bloody piece of flesh in a pool full of piranhas. Every kid at the park came swarming over to pet Daisy.

And it didn't help that it was lunch time and they all happened to be hungry.

I have never disliked other children so much. I usually love any kid and can put up with a lot, by put up with I mean ignore.

But today, at the park I wanted to scream and yell and tell all the mothers to please come get your kid, feed them, and watch out my tiny cute little puppy is actually a vicious child eating monster, not really but I wanted them to leave her alone. The poor thing was freaking out with all the kids around her and i kept telling the kids please go find your mommy. So some listened and they went and GOT their mommy. The other's that didn't listen asked "why" and continued to pull on the leash. I told that little girl to go away. I also told the little girl that threw a rock at Asher because he wanted to eat his lunch that he dropped on the ground. No big deal dirt doesn't hurt but when she threw that rock at him I "nicely" told her to GET LOST!!!

I almost packed everything up and went home.

I was handling my messy house better than this. But the boys were having so much fun and after a while the kids did leave me and Daisy alone so I decided to stay a little while longer.

We all decided to leave after the little girl playing in the sand thought it would be loads of fun to throw sand in Dallin's eyes and on top of Bryant's head.

Finally for once it wasn't my kids!!!!

Hot Tub!!!

For FHE tonight we spent some time together in the hot tub.

It was super fun and the boys loved it!!

This kid lights up when he sees a camera these days. Love my kiddos!!!!

This one is more like it...

I went ahead and made another dress. This one was much better and I was happier with the way it turned out. It wasn't without flaws but they were much fewer!

Can't wait to see the cute little lady wearing it!!

Lady Bug Dress and Project Overhaul

I made this cute little dress for my neighbor's daughter who turns 1 this week.

However after making it and seeing all my MANY flaws on it I think I might put it in storage for the daughter I may never have and try to make another, better one, with less flaws for my neighbor. I made my own pattern for this dress so it was a bit tricky and dont tell Corey this next part, but when I, ummm... tried it on Asher, shhhh, it didn't fit very well around the chest which I think I solved the problem with buttons and loops in the back but still I think the more dresses I make from this pattren the better they'll get.

It's pretty cute none the less and IF I had a daughter she would totally wear it.

I even made these cute little flowers to put on the dress.

PROJECT OVERHAUL

We are in the process of remodeling our kitchen.

It's starting to drive me crazy not having a kitchen.

I have done a lot of work on it, and have suffered a few battle wounds in the process.

While taking out a wall I sliced my hand open with a pry-bar and then when I was taking out the soffet(?) I think I got friberglass in my eye and I'm afraid it will never be the same. Friday morning I woke up and it was swollen and I've had pink eye before and that is not what it was. My eye hurt for 3 days straight and it's not better still but doesn't hurt as bad but it still doesn't look normal either. I hope it goes back to normal eventually because right now one eye is bigger than the other and I look kinda funny. Anyways, I'll be happy when its all done and I have a beautiful kitchen!!!
