Popcorn, Popping?

The only popcorn left in our house is this kind:
Because I looked up at the ceiling and what did I see? Popcorn hanging on the ce-i-ling.Fall has brought me, a not so nice sur-prise. Popcorn staring right at my eyes.

And so I took a ladder and a spray bot-tle, a scraper and a strong arm that would work so sweet.

It wasn't really easy, but it seemed to be.

No more popcorn on my ce-i-ling.

A Little "Funny"

Olivia is our boot lover, she outgrew her first pair of boots awhile back. She hasn't stopped asking for a new pair of boots since. We finally found her some new boots, the day we bought them she put them right on and kept them on all day. When Eric came home from work she ran up to him and said, "Daddy, daddy I have boots now so I can go to work with you everyday"!

Time Out

Every once in awhile it's important for a Mom to take a time out. This past weekend I was able to do just that. Accompanied by my sister, cousins, and aunt we visited Las Vegas home of "Time Out For Women". We had a great time being silly, eating, and being uplifted through song and word. Did I mention eating??? Thank goodness we did a TON of walking or I would have gained a few extra rolls around the middle.
Since we had no time for a show we thought we'd "drum" it up with the Blue Man Group.
This is my Sister and I, isn't she CUTE?!?The darn machine stole all my money! All in all it was an awesome trip, I came home refreshed and renewed. If you've never attended a "Time Out For Women" before I challenge you to do it! They are offered all over the United States.

Studies?

Would you be interested in making $150.00 in 1 hour? How about your kiddo making $120.00 in 1 hour and 15 min.? If you answered yes you need to go to www.fieldwork.com Click on "Join our database" and sign up. My family has been doing studies since Kim was a baby. They have studies for a variety of things from diaper studies to studies on auto insurance. My kiddos have done patch studies, medicine taste test studies, shot studies, and gaming studies. The company has to insure that the client has the designated amount of attendees so they always overbook to insure they have a complete group. If you are lucky enough to be dismissed after driving there, you gate paid the full amount anyway. Yesterday this happened to me. Yeah for getting paid just to drive to Scottsdale!

Primary Teachers

Zachary has been blessed to have the best primary teachers ever! Zach came to me 2 weeks ago and told me that his teachers were moving. He was so sad, and kept inquiring about why they would consider such a thing. Little does his little mind realize that they had to move to get out of some scary apartments. Anyway I asked him if he wanted to do something special to show them how much he loved them. He said yes of course. We decided on a little memory book that his teachers could keep forever. We would include all 8 children in the book. Zach came home from school last week while I was working on the book. He asked why I hadn't done his page yet? I said I was doing it in alphabetical order by first name. He was so disappointed and said, "No, that means I'm last! I'm always last. He went on to explain all the things he is last at which were many. Poor kid, if I had only known a few days sooner. I just told him I saved the BEST for last! I don't know how my mind can think projects so simple and then to actually do them, is HUGELY INTENSE. That is always the case with me. Anyway it turned out great and his teachers loved it. So farewell to Brother & Sister Elledge. Zach came home from school today and said, "Mom who are my new teachers going to be?" He's already wondering??????

Finally!

I didn't think this day would ever come this year. It has though, the temperatures are no longer in the triple digits. Living in good ol AZ you never really know when it's fall, because the leaves don't change color. But we figure it must be fall when it starts cooling off at night. Yeah for fall!
