So I have absolutely no laptop right now thanks to my breaking my charger. *tear* so im testing out my wordpress app. Lol

And by the way I have noooo idea how this is going to turn out. I am unable to format the post how I want. Hmph. The pictures (for now) will have no captions.

Hopefully, by next saturday, I will have better luck with the laptop (as in I will have a charger). In the mean time, I can’t even link up!!!! :(

Saturday, I went shopping.  It was 62 degrees out, which is odd for Oregon this time of year.  It was also windy as He!!, and i fought with the shopping cart walking out to my car.  Broke 2 nails fighting that sucker to the car.  Clearly, the shopping cart won….

Sunday, I ate spagetti-o’s out of a can.  THAT brought back memories.  Cold Spaghetti-o’s.. Yummers!

Monday, the fog barely hid the sun from view.  Gorgeous though, isn’t it?

Thursday, we got into the holiday spirit with some Frosty the Snowman.  People at work despised my singing. Mwahaha!

Konnor’s Christmas program was also on Thursday.  He wore a tie. *LOVE*  Ariana wanted to sing with her brother, so she tried running up there to be with him. Haha

He made me an ornament for the tree!!! <3

Saturday shopping trip.  I though I looked cute.  Ariana looked rather adorable too!

Ariana playing with her old toybox.  Lol she was cracking us both up! =)

I smashed her little fingers in the door. =( I’M SO SORRY BABY GIRL!!!!!!!!

Through my Weekly Recap {Android Pics} Meme, I managed to find a fun little blog hop that is running from now until Christmas night.  It’s called “Show Me Your Tree” and it’s pretty self-explanatory.  You just… post pictures of your Christmas tree.  Click on the button below to head to the hostess of this fun blog hop to link up or see other trees around the world…

So without further ado, here is our {super lame} Christmas tree.  Yes it is fake.  Yes, it is pre-lit.  Yes, we have just a few blue and silver balls on it.  Yes, it is crooked.  But it is ours.  And ours alone.  Next year I vow to have a real tree, because this one is pretty depressing.  Lol.  The kids don’t notice like I do, though.

{note: the fancy pictures to make up for the lameness}

Thanks for looking!  I hope you and your family has a fantastic holiday season.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

This week was almost as boring as last week.  Almost…. And yet, I ended up with less pictures…. Hmph

Sunday:

A downed tree in our neighborhood thanks to a windstorm and cuddling in bed with Konnor & Ariana’s toys.  You know you’re a mom when….

Monday:

Christmas tree decorating after work.  Konnor did it all (and yes my tree is totally crooked.  Ugh, I don’t want to talk about it. lol).  Ariana wanted nothing to do with the decorating or the picture-taking.  She was being a grumpy monkey.

Tuesday:

Yeah, all I took a pic of on Tuesday were my eyes.  I was happy with my make up day and not so happy with the bags under my eyes.  Eh.  Welcome to my life as a full-time working Mommy.

Wednesday:

A pretty sunrise on my way to work.  Really, it was just pretty clouds as the sunrise was an hourish earlier, but you catch my drift.  And then, I get a call at about 5:10pm’ish wondering why the slow cooker is leaking.  Justin tried to make ribs, but didn’t put the ceramic pot into the slow cooker.  Yes, he literally put the ribs and BBQ sauce right into the cooker.  Oye vey.  Still not sure if it will recover. *facepalm*

Thursday:

Stressed at work, talking to customers (that says enough, right?)  My ride home from work (yes I took a pic while driving!).  When I got home, I decided I needed some Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats, so I made them!

Friday:

Friday = payday!!!! So I treated myself to some Chipotle (drool-a-licious) and also bought Eclipse and Inception for the house!  We watched Inception Friday night and it was AWESOME!!! Just sayin…

Saturday:


Some mirror fun and then some good ol’ sibling rivalry. 

If you head over to A Good Life, you will find the HQ of this fabulous meme, plus you can grab the code so that you can link up, too!  I suggest you do it ~ this is so much fun and you get to show off the events of the week.

Great, another photo meme for me to become addicted to!! This one I blame fully on Emmie_Bee who I saw post last week, but it wasn’t until this week that I asked her about.  Well shoot!  I am now hooked.

I had to ditch my Crackberry after it went swimming at the Great Wolf Lodge (read that story here).  So, to replace my trusty (and crappy picture-taking) Crackberry, I bought the new MyTouch G4 (or 4G) from T-Mobile.  So now I am part of the Android community, a touch-screen fanatic, and have been running around saying “there’s an app for that” every chance I get.  You can slap me – I know that’s soooo last year! Haha.

That night (Tuesday morning really), the first snow of the season came.  Fantastic.  NOT! Snow = busy at work, no matter what the snow fall.  Now let me say, I live in Oregon, and even with the tiniest bit of snow, us Oregonians FREAK!!!  We don’t drive in it, and most that have to, shouldn’t.  That makes for fun commutes…… It was really pretty though, even if it was just a small dusting.

That, coupled with sub-freezing temperatures, allowed the waterfall at our apartment complex to partially freeze over.  Now THAT was gorgeous!!!

This year for Halloween, Miss Ariana was a bumblebee, Konnor was Bumblebee, and I got Justin to wear a mask long enough to take a picture. *giggles* a storm trooper mask, I think.
