Catch up Break

I've been horrible at keeping up with my blog since I'm in school. But I have a lot to share and plan on posting a lot during this Christmas break. So be warned I might be on a posting overload, but for your enjoyment.

Creativity Bug

So I need to blog about my Florida trip, but right now I'm going to blog about these toy buckets we bought the kids. We went to target and found these storage buckets and thought they would be great to put toys in. We also got them cute little clothes hampers so they can enjoy putting their own dirty clothes up. So far they are a definite hit!! The toy buckets were pretty plain, so the creativity bug bit me and we went to Wal-mart for some paint. They turned out so cute and the kids are so excited to have them personalized!

I kind of forgot I was sort of artistic ;)

EEEKK!!!

A MOUSE!!! LOL! This past saturday night I was studying and our wonderful cat was sleeping on top of the couch when a mouse ran right out into the middle of our living room looked up at me and then ran off. Our cat didn't budge. Of course after I went to bed I could hear the cat running around more than likely chasing the mouse. So sunday night when Nick was home he saw the mouse run into our closet and sent the kids in after it. Later that evening we tried to get the cat to catch it but had no such luck. He pretty much ran from the mouse. Nick and I finally trapped and killed it. So we are now mouse free! :)

Kayleigh's 2nd Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Kayleigh!!

Today is my baby girl's 2nd birthday! She is too big for her britches too. Talking non-stop, running around telling people "no, no!" Tonight we had a family party with red velvet cake and presents! She loved the cake and had a blast opening her presents!

I'm going to try to blog a bit more often, since I've done a poor job of it lately. But once I'm done with this quarter of school I will have more time to do other things besides keeping my nose in a book :)
