Oops...It was an accident

KIDS + SCISSORS = OOPS...IT WAS AN ACCIDENT


Remember what Abigail looked like with lots of hair

Here is what happens when Abigail gets hold of scissors:

This is what it looks like after we visited the hair dress:

A Valentine Craft... a little late....

Here is something fun to do with all your broken crayons. Instead of throwing them out, make new ones.

This was super easy and lots of fun. Check out this tutorial if you want to try.

Abby and I also made these yummy cup cakes for her daycare Valentine party. I was pretty bummed because I didn't get to have any.

New Look

I wasn't happy with the way the blog was looking so I gave it a face lift. I think it turned out pretty good especially for not knowing what I was doing.

Please check out the new recipe and photo links sometime in the next few weeks.

Under the recipe link I will be adding new and old recipes that we enjoy. I have tons of recipes laying around and I thought this would help me become more organized.

Under the photo link we will be adding just random photo's that we think are pretty cool.

Catching up

I've been bad blogger again. I really didn't mean too. I have just been real lazy.

First, let me update you on our weight loss or the lack thereof.

Week 4:
Kristina: 0
Austin: 0

Week 5:
Kristina: +2 (I am blaming this on that time of the month)
Austin: +1 (sympathy for me)

Actually, the last two weeks I went to the store I didn't have our meals planned. I just went to store having no idea what we were going to eat. This is a real bad idea. I end up buying not so healthy meals and lots of junk we don't need. This week I have everything planned. Problem is the last two nights we have tried two new "healthy" meals and both bombed. After last nights meal I had to make something yummy so we made these (only because I already had all the ingredients in the house). And yes they are very yummy. Tonight's dinner was so bad we both had to eat Chef Boyardee and some more of those yummy cookies. So again we are off to a bad start.

So what have we been up to? Other than eating bad. The weekend of the 31st I (alone no Daddy or Abby) went up to Greenville. It was one of my closest friends baby shower. And can you believe that 6 of 11 guest were also preggo. I made sure to stay far away from the water up there (just joking, Abby needs a sibling so I made sure to drink lots). After the baby shower we went to see Dar Williams. It was a great show. If she happens to come to your town you definitely need to check her out.

While I was up in Greenville, Daddy and Abby had a slumber party. They ate lots of junk food, watched movies and had lots of fun. Here are some pics and a video of there weekend:

Party time, mommy's gone :)


A little painting to keep busy



In this video Abby does her now famous shake your booty dance. When ever she hears music or whenever she feels like it she breaks it out. Your lucky she didn't drop her pants which she does most days...:)


This past weekend we had spring fever. The temperature actually went up to 74. That was hard to believe because at the beginning of the week it was 20 degrees and I was bundled up in a scarf and hat. Since the weather was so nice we made sure to go out both days. Saturday we went down to River Front Park to walk the dog and let Abby ride her bike. Sunday we went to Finley Park to let Abby kick around her soccer ball and play. I am not sure if we are going back to Finley Park because there were lots of characters there (that's me being nice) and way too many kids on the play ground. It was way to hard to keep track of Abby and quite frankly scared me. Needless to say we had lots of fun. Here are some pics from this weekend: I was going to add another video but that last one took way too long to upload.



Off I go, let's see if you can catch up

I am cool

Just looking cute

Here is one of our valentine crafts we started. I will share more this coming up weekend.



Abby had me write on the hearts all the things she loved and then she traced it with the blue marker.
