Another Friday, Another Kiddo Unwell

Last night it was Dylan’s turn with the stomach virus that has been making its way through the house. Poor little guy is home today, but happy curled up on the big chair. He was so sad this morning when I told him that he wouldn’t be able to go to preschool today… He loves going to school.

I really hope he feels better soon, I think I have had sick kiddos for the last three weeks… At least it’s Friday.

Grocery Woes…

Let’s get ranty about the grocery store!

I’ll go first. I really don’t like to grocery shop… I mean I really really really really really don’t like to grocery shop. I also live in a small town, and well a lot of the local shops are not too friendly on the pocketbook. I’m basically stuck shopping one place, and I’m tired of it.

I’m grumpy when I see ridiculously over priced items, and very empty shelves. I know why they do it though. The shelves are empty, so that way you buy the over priced item, because you know you don’t want to make a second trip for one single stinking item.

Here’s one more thing that makes me mad. The one product I need is way on the top shelf, and obviously under stocked. Yeah, I’m 5’4, and I will shelf-climb to get it, but it still makes me mad.

So it’s your turn, what irks you the most about the grocery store?

Crafting for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I’m not a fan of the holiday, but  I love to make homemade Valentine’s. I know, I’m strange like that. Crafting homemade Valentine’s are also a great way to save a little money too.

This year for both of the kiddos Valentine’s Day parties I am making bookmarks.

They were really inexpensive too. I only spent $.97 on the new heart shaped hole punch. I had everything else on hand.

I needed around 50 Valentine’s for the party, and my hand still hurts from all that punching. Dylan really liked the Valentine’s, I don’t think that  Thade really cared for them though. He’s not really a fan of Valentine’s day either, so yeah, there you go.

I had fun crafting though, it was a great way to spend a chilly Winter morning.

Home Today

Poor kiddo was sick all Friday night, but better on Saturday. Sunday he was up, and doing well, and then Sunday night hit, and he was ill all over again…

So Thade is home with me today, and Dylan was extra excited that he was the only kid going to school today.

I’m cleaning and re-cleaning today, and washing a lot of laundry… I just hope my big kid gets well soon.

January’s Favorite Photos

I took a crazy amount of pictures in January. There wasn’t that much going on, but I was better about having a camera with me. Here are way too many of my favorites.
