New hair cut!

After alot of thought, I decided to cut my hair, not the length. I just wanted to have bangs, and wanted more layers. I have posted a picture. I do like the cut....I just hate that I am so stinking old!!!!!

My job VS Larry's Job!

As far as Christmas decorations go, my job is to decorate the inside and Larry's job is to do the outside. Below is a little sample of the inside decorations...this usually takes me at least two days, quite a big undertaking. Also I have posted a picture of the outside (Larry's job), Now I know the man has a full time job, managing his business and building Supershears but is this any excuse for the missing Christmas lights etc?? I think not! Next year will be different!

The inside..looks nice!

 

larry's job...hmmmm.

Yay...My wreaths are done!

Okay, I spent friday finishing up the projects that were left unfinished...among those are the ornament wreaths. I did finally finish, my nightmare wreath, which I thinks looks nice, but I also took the advice of my niece Lora, and made one out of a hanger. It looks really cute and was tons easier, it did take alot of ornaments...but what does it really matter?? I had already spent $70 just finishing up the first one. Below are the pictures.

My glass ornament nightmare!!!

Okay, you've all seen them, and they are way expensive...I'm talking about the glass ornament wreaths. They run $50.00 and up.I saw this one, and decided I could make one for half the price.(picture below)

So today I bought a styrofoam wreath, ribbon, and some different sized ornaments, I wanted to make a red one. I came home and started glueing on the balls after filling about 1/4 of the wreath, I could see that I was going to need more glass balls. I came home with the extra ornaments I had purchased, and guess what??? yep, not near enough. (pictures below)By the way....I have now spent over $45.00. and I am not even finished. Next time I will spend the 50 bucks!!

My little pumpkin!

A few weeks ago I took Marques Jr. to have some Halloween pictures done. Katie told us that she had a friend (Ashley), who does pictures in her home so while we were driving to Ashley's house who do you think fell asleep? Yep, you got it..the baby was in Snooze Town. So, when we got there, instead of cancelling the photo shoot, Ashley took some cute pictures of our baby sleeping...about halfway through, he decided to wake up. Below are some of my favorite pictures that were taken that day.

My jumping baby

CHICAGO

I have promised that I am going to be more vigilant about my blog...therefore I am going to post more. A month ago Larry and I went to Chicago, I know, I know, I should have posted then, right?? Anyway we drove to Chicago Heights, where he was born,and he showed me where he grew up. It was fun to see his childhood home, where he went to school, and basically where he got into all of his mischief. We stayed with Jill (his sister) as we always do. It was so much fun, as always! Jill you are the perfect hostess, and my bestest sister in-law. I love you!!!
