Also I found a small animal scull but couldnt buy it and now im sad. The place was doing an auction day so i couldnt just buy shit i guess, they wanted me to come back and bid for it. Im  going back tomorrow to see if its still there and if they will just sell it to me. I was thinking of naming it Zoro(yeah like that dude that makes "Z" with his sword whenever he kicks someone ass).  If I get my hands on it I will share on here.

Update and scary youtube videos.

Here's a slightly interesting and boring update followed by videos...

First, my sister got married. The wedding was beautiful and fancy and we all had a great time.                 
                                      Me and Rye playing with flowers. He's so handsome in his tux!



Second, I had to change my phone number and now its killing me to remember it everytime someone asks for it.  I hate changing numbers :(

Third, I bought a pool for the kids. Its big and the best 200$ I have ever spent.  The kids are very happy with me....not Rye though. He's scared of it. He prefers his little baby pool.
                       Soo worth it. No heat exhaustion for us! plus my kids spend hours in it and sleep well.


And I go for surgery on the 3rd.  Getting a masectomy and reconstruction. I'm scared shitless but I gotta do what i gotta do. Good thing about this? I get a bigger set plus I probably wont get boob cancer. If your wondering why I'm going for the masectomy its because I tested positive for BRCA1. Google it if you have no idea what that is.  Nick may or may not update on here. I'm going to tell him to atleast update on facebook so my phone doesnt ring non stop.


Heres some vids if your as bored as I am.

Remember this commercial?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AuLkMBAFZg&list=LL9UyHI5ADFWoN0fdZv2SL4g&feature=mh_lolz

Muahahaha My immune system is working again...I hope

Three weeks of illness was not fun. First I got the stomach flu on easter and was unable to eat for about 5 days then 2 of the kids got croup while I had bronchitis and then I got shingles because apparently my body hates me. Ive had several readers asking about my whereabouts so I thought I should give an explanation because my being sick and not writing on here is causing mass boredom.   If I become ill again and unable to write yall should come over and take care of my kids who will give you free entertainment. Ryker showed me a few minutes ago that he can moonwalk. I'm impressed. 

Ok so ya'll remember how I rambled on about an awesome demon toilet paper holder at the farmers market?





 I got it for my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D


The kids and I love him:P   I also got the felix the cat clock. I don't have a picture of that though.


So now for random shit on youtube time! woohoo!


I'm not sure if ive already shared this...its...well...uh..creepy but I can't look away.

This is also really fucked up...my sister is to be blamed for me looking this up.

Well I must be on my way, Rye is determined to destroy my laptop which im using at the small craft table in hopes that if i blend in to their environment they wont notice that im not giving them 100% of my attention. Totally didnt work. They are demanding that I actually play with them even though thats what ive been doing all morning.  I just can't catch a break *sigh*

Lets chat about spring cleaning...and cleaning in general

I'm totally excited that warm weather is here(ish).  I love spring cleaning. I love putting away all the winter gear that clutters my front & back doors, I love opening the windows and freshening up the house and most of all dh has been working on pulling our patio furnature out in the yard. YIPEE!

Now I know some people hate cleaning...In all honesty I dont really like cleaning all that much either. What I hate more is having a dirty house. I can live with messy, lets face it I got 3 kids and my house has toys and art all over the place regardless of how many times a day I pick them up.  The chores that I do every day are cleaning the playroom, dining room and kitchen. The chores that get done a few times a week are bathroom and laundry plus I nag at the girls to clean their room and ryes room doesnt get overally messy and only takes a  minute to tidy so its not even really considered a chore. Everything else just kinda builds up untill spring or fall cleaning(yes I do a big clean in the fall aswell) or just whenever I got a chance.

Some people I know complain that things don't get done because they honestly dont know where to start.  I've been there so no worries, I'm not judgemental. I was a slob when suffering through post partum depression. I was so overwhelmed that cleaning was just not something I could manage very well. Id rush to clean the dishes and hide messes before Nick got home from work(just to clarify he's not an ass to me about housework, I was the only one freaking out). That turned into a completely different issue because eventually I had to go through random hidden boxes of stuff and junk drawers and reorganize everything.

 Hopefully anyone who is struggling to get a head start on cleaning will be able to just follow along to my simple instructions. 

First you need cleaning supplies. Several rags, paper towel, all purpose cleaner(You can mix water and vinigar for this or use whatever you find at the store), window cleaner (vinigar works fine for windows aswell) and a scrubby thing. You will also want a garbage bag(or many) and a big box for any stuff you want to donate.
For me I always start my cleaning in the kitchen. Its the center part of my house and the room that I insist on being clean at all times, plus its where my cleaning supplies are. You may want to start from front of the house to the back. So for me that would be starting at my bedroom or front entry, then dining room and kids rooms, kitchen and bathroom then the living/play room.  Write down the order you want to clean.

Clear all surfaces, Throw out garbage and anything thats still good but you dont need then donate, rest of stuff just put it away. Next you wipe down surfaces with disinfectant. Move onto next room. Continue through the house. Use rags to disinfect surfaces except in the washroom. Please use paper towel when cleaning your toilet everything else you can use a rag. Once you do this with every room its time to look at door handles and walls. If you are in the kitchen you will need to clean your cupboards, front of dishwasher if you got one and fridge(as in taking everthing off it and wiping down). So get a fresh bucket of cleaner or vinigar and a rag. Look at the walls. I bet they are dirty so don't skip this. Find a starting point and work your way around the wall and disinfecting door handles(very important). Doors to outside tend to be a nightmare so be prepared to scrub around those. For any difficult marks then you can used Mr.Clean eraser but I do try to encourage mostly natural cleaners. Now once your done that its the most dreaded chore of all. WINDOWS. Yup those need to be cleaned aswell. I will admit that its mostly Nick who cleans our windows. I either never remember or I find something else to clean :P
So now that you have tidied and cleaned everywhere theres just one more thing to do. The floors. Sweep or vacume. Don't cheat and get behind and under the furnature at least every couple months. Then wash the floors. When I have time I wash them by hand but for every day touch ups I used my swiffer or mop.  And if your thinking I'm one of those people who have a spotless perfect house then your very wrong. My walls are covered in kid stuff, Theres toys scattered from one end to the other and the computer desk has been cluttered for years even though I have made several attempts at fixing that and my girls room only gets a good cleaning every couple months because it involves protective gear and some liquid courage. Last time we cleaned the girls room there was a bunch of yelling and fighting and my mom hiding under my dining room table because according to her I have a scary mom voice. I don't recall where Nick was. Maybe hiding in the basement with the laundry.

Oh and a tip to keep the house clean on days that you don't actually plan to do a good clean, watch for sales on disinfectant wipes. I prefer Green Works or Lysol. Noname wipes work fine aswell. I didn't like the clorox that much but I will use it if its on for a really good sale. They work great for everything and its fast. If you keep some in every room(in a safe spot so the little ones dont get them) then your not running around trying to find the cleaner and rags. I know you can make them but I havent tried that yet but planning to experiment soon. Also for encouraging the kids to help clean just wet a cloth in water and ask them to wash their toys. My kids would rather do some washing instead of picking up so I let them. I also give them a little dish soap and the hose and have them clean their outdoor toys every spring :) Happy cleaning everyone! Hope this post was helpful or at least a little motivating.

Happy Hippity Hop Day!!!!

Hope everyone has a great Easter!

If your Easter is crappy I found an amazing video on how to make popcorn shrimp to make your weekend a little magical....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7UmUX68KtE&list=FL9UyHI5ADFWoN0fdZv2SL4g&index=1&feature=plpp_video

Your Welcome.  Seriously though popcorn shrimp is really good.



I'll be back with egg adventure pictures on Monday. Till then I hope that Nick doesnt talk about Anti- gravity bread machines anymore. That conversation was caused by our loud bread machine that sounds like it may blow up half my house.  Don't think on that too hard...I swear it only results in migranes.

I'm BAAACK!

Sup?

Anyways now that I have a new modem and laptop is starting to like life again I have returned. Apparently I'm missed here by a number of people and have recieved harrassing messages to come back and write unimportant shit that doesn't make sense to half the world but enjoyed by a few weirdo's :P

Shall we do a little boring update?

Miss.V Is doing well and a bit of a smart ass recently(I dunno where she gets that from...).  She has had to deal with a bully at school recently and has handled herself well during the tough time and I'm very proud and want to stick my toung out at the bully and go "nanananana my kid is better than you" but havent because I'm a responsibleish person who is setting a good example for the kids. But seriously bullying is a terrible issue in the schools and we all need to work together and teach our children how to protect themselves aswell as teaching them to be nice to others(even if they don't like someone).

Miss.S is doing fantastic and amazes me everyday. She's socializing more and working hard with school work.

Rye is FINALLY walking and starting to talk....in a babbling non clear sort of way.

Nick and I started growing our vegie garden indoors a few weeks ago and the plants are growing super fast so I'm hoping for warmer weather soon so I can transfer them outside. This year we are growing cucumber, tomato, peas, parsnip, corn, lettuce and of course parsley because it makes all the other foods taste even better.

In other news I'm trying to convince Nick that we need a toilet monster because our doodoobird and pink sparkly skull that stalk the toilet are lonely. Nick being awesome then suggested a demon for the house aswell. Funny enough we saw a toiletpaper holding demon at the farmers market on saturday and I'm thinking someone should buy it for me for my upcoming birthday and everyone will get use out of it. Its the most logical birthday gift for me. Some people may not appreciate toilet roll holders but they suck and don't deserve presents.

Alright Nick is texting me and thats distracting me from my thoughts and im sure hes only making me text because im tired and can no longer spell and im sure he's at his desk giggling at my unintentional horrible messages. Later.

Time out from posting

....because my stupid laptop hates me and decided to break down.
Using Miss.V's computer to post this while she is in school. I'm saddened by this as I had an amazing post to make on Leprechaun day and couldn't. Our friend is fixing it for us so hopefully I can get back to entertaining you all :)

I shall return soon!
