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!!!!!!!!

Saturday again, huh?  Hmph.  The days pass too fast these days.  This past week wasn’t too exciting, but here we go.. Oh and just a warning, my sister and I found my “distortion” effect on my phone today, and had a bit too much fun with that. Oye!

Sunday… Apparently my daughter wants to be Tarzan, or maybe Jane??

Monday was a boring, foggy day.  I worked. Boo!  Yeah, I totally took a blurry, crappy picture of the fog on my way to work.  The one on the right I took after I got to work. Haha.

Tuesday?  Another boring day, but dinner was yummy!  Chicken enchiladas with broccoli/cheese on the side.  Weird combo, I know, but broccoli is seriously Ariana’s favorite vegetable ever!!! And, since she was a sick baby who didn’t want to eat, I had to make something that she would eat.

Wednesday?  Continuance on the sick day for Miss Ariana.  Fabulous.  She did manage to find the Cheetos, though.  Oh man, she is a handful, even when sick!

Thurday…. So little happened, the only pic I got was from getting stuck at the railroad crossing on my way to work.  Thankfully, it’s only our public transportation train, so the way was less than 30 seconds.

Friday was “Civil War” day at work, so I willingly sported some of my Ducks gear for the occasion.. Oh, and traffic sucked so bad, I got to take pics of the sunset.

Now Saturday was a good day indeed!  Civil War, hanging out with the family.  We discovered the “distortion” effect on my phone, and laughed ‘till we cried.  The following are just a few of the pics we took… Ohmigosh!! Hahaha…

And then some random Saturday pictures that aren’t so scary!  My sister, me, and the cranky Ariana

I laughed so hard I cried…

Oooooooooooooo!!!!!!!…

Okay okay, enough!!  Have a great week, everyone!! See you here next Saturday for another installment! =)

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!!!

more…

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.

What to you get when you go to the pumpkin patch?  Other than fun, laughs, pictures, and lost in a maze.  The answer is pumpkins!!!

Well, okay, that is a lie since we didn’t actually purchase pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.  I know, what a party pooper this mommy is!  So much so we ended up going to the local grocery store and picking up a couple pumpkins to take home and carve.  There was a reason – a good one too.  For some reason, I started feeling like absolute crap and we barely made it home in time for me to get to the toilet and vomit.  TMI?  Sorry!  Part of the story

Carving pumpkins?  Ha.  What a task! I learned a valuable lesson this year which was the first year that I carved pumpking solo (meaning not with/at my mom’s house).  That lesson being that you should really wait until the day before or a couple days before Halloween to carve said pumpkins.

Why?

Huh, before this year, I wouldn’t have known either.  Our pumpkins, my friends, died before Halloween even got here.  We carved them exactly six days before Halloween, and those a-holes went and wilted, grew green fuzz, and slumped into nothingness.

But not before the following pictures were taken (please take note we bought two pumpkins and only one ended up fully carved… explanation below)….

The reason pumpkin #2 is not pictured in the “after” shots is because both of our OMG-CHEAP-O-CARVING-CRAP-TOOLS broke before I was able to successfully carve my pumpkin.  Konnor was able to carve his (minus my carving the mouth) so I would say that this is a success all in its own!
