*Mandy's World*

Today @ the park. Mandy wasn't happy. Boring, boring, boring and more boring. This is how she described her time there. I decided to make it 'fun' and said let's do a photo shoot. So, enjoy...be part of Mandy's World.
This is how we started:
Now start the poses...

more poses....

moved it to a different location...

Finish it off with a BANG....

This made things just a "little" less boring!!!! YAY....America's Next Top Model here we come

M.I.A.

Sorry for the lack of post. I've been super busy with back-to-school shopping, getting things together at home, trying to readjust our 'lazy-days of summer' into a new routine. Plus, getting a garage sale ready for this saturday and on top of all that, a surprise new addition to the family. No, I'm not expecting but hubby thought it would be a great idea that we get a dog. Not at all under my consent, basically not at all happy about it. But it's here and supposedly everyone is super excited about this dog including my husband, who is acting like it's a long-lost relative. Oh yeah the dog has a name, it's Bruce. He's a rottie. Yeah you heard right. We couldn't get a cute little dog (which would have made no difference in my book) but a huge dog. Right now he's not huge, but I think I'll blink and he'll be bigger than me. And when the girls get back to school, guess who gets to take care of him, of course it would be me, because that's how it always turns out. I'm not happy. Did I mention that already? well there you have it, perhaps the lack of post is because I cannot believe how life can change in a minute. But you know I heard that I'm gonna end up loving him - this will have to be seen. I will revisit this topic in a few months and tell you if this is true or not.

Back 2 Skool!!!

It's that time again....new supplies, new bookbags....kids are winding down from the summer....I'm trying to get my girls back into a routine that doesn't include going to bed @ midnite.

Started back-to-school shopping. And this is Mandy's new bookbag....

She is finally "excited" to start school!!!!! Yay I was getting worried since she was against going to a new school and making new friends, etc, etc....

Updates!

For dinner last night!!!
On tonite's menu - chicken wings on the grill with rice & beans!!!!

Frame re-do



Don't you love this? Okay...fine I DO!!!! I sprayed painted the frame black. I added scrapbook paper and some vinyl lettering (cricut) and some ribbons & flowers...and voila...a new frame...it's part of my 'craft room/guest room/office' re-do. We're not doing much to it (like I dream about) just basically getting my crafting supplies in here which means a lot of junk needs to get out - a/k/a garage sale...lol....

Pool Time!!!!


This is Mandy at the pool yesterday. The deal was that she was NOT to dunk her head because of an ear infection we are treating.....well she dunked her head...."by mistake" you know....oh kids!!!
