{ Randoms }

I know I posted a Wordless Wednesday yesterday, and oh...surprise, it wasn't Wednesday. Sorry 'bout that....I was probably writing it at 2am and made a mistake.

I need to finish up my vacation posts, but as no one wants vacation to end, I kinda don't want the posts to either. Blah.

I have gone over my food list about 50 times on what I am making for my Scentsy/31 Party this Saturday. I was going to cop-out and just get "trays" of food from Costco, but I just can't do that. I feel like a failure if I do. I may have four kids but I love to have an excuse to cook something other than chicken nuggets. It's also an excuse to try out some new recipes that I have been dying to try. So, needless to say, if you are reading this and you are coming, please come hungry.

I got my winnings in the mail today from Sticky Fingers Bakery that I won on The Chirping Mom's blog. All I can say is that the whole box smelled like fresh blueberries. I won a choice of three things so I picked the Wile Blueberry Muffins, Original Scones and All Natural Wild Blueberry Jam. I cannot wait to try it all. Go check out their site and thank me later!

Over the weekend my wonderful husband cleaned up the front of our house and although I need to get a new wreath before the weekend, it looks pretty good. Beautiful dark mulch, bright mums and pumpkins. Second to Christmas, I love decorating for fall!

I finally broke down and bought (a whopping $8) a tagging gun for all my consignment selling. I feel like I am the real deal now. Watch out, I'm not only the first person in line, but I also own a tagging gun. It came with 1500 barbs and I feel the need to use them all this fall during the two consignment sales that I am doing. I can.not.wait until the two sales, 1-to get all this stuff out of my house, 2-to make some money and 3-to buy so much more of things my kids don't really need (and spend all that money) and that their OCD mother cannot say no to. Who can pass up a good deal? They need some play food for their little kitchen, for goodness sake.

One of my best friends is in Belize right now and I think I have thought about her one hundred times today. Just a little jealous and the fact that we are both so busy we barely get to see each other anymore!

Emily is getting up on all-fours and rock back and forth. It's only going to be matter of time before she is on the move like her big sisters. I can barely believe my little bay-boo is so big now!

Oh and, my sister got engaged over the weekend. Super happy for her and happy it's going to be a loooong engagement, for many, many reasons. I just hope I cannot take another wedding anytime soon. 


We bought an apple pie at Poolesville Day on Saturday and Tim wants to order ten more, but luckily we don't know who made it, or I'd be even more broke than I already am, not to mention his waist can't take anymore sweets.

Ok, more photos with the vacation posts to come!

    Random but where do you typically buy your girls clothes? They have such cute things!
