First Soccer games

E

Nolan

Bryson, I didn't get many good pictures of Bry playing.  I was talking and didn't start taking pictures till the end of the game.    Bry was on defense, and I think a little bored.

Ethan

such a cutie.  This was his first game, and he hammed it up!

sorry i haven't posted in a while I know.  I have been trying to get these pictures up for a few days, buy every time I tried something would happen.  I will post some video later.

Curly Girl

So years ago I read the book Curly Girl.   The book talks about hte best way to take care of your curls.  They want you to use just condition to wash your hair.   Seems kooky right.  Well years ago I did it and like it.  So now I am going to try it again.   (or just go no poo all together, meaning baking soda and apple cider vinegar)  I got some conditioner that was silicone free.  But I just don't Like it this time.  Or I shold say I don't like this conditioner.  It makes my hair feel like I have product in my hair, or didn't rinse it enouhg.  I am trying it for a little longer.  After that I am going to try a different conditioner. 

I did find a curly girl website here is the address.   http://www.naturallycurly.com/

Shaving Cream and Glue

Nolan wanted to paint today.  Well I threw out all of our paint about a week ago, after he had mixed all of the colors. 

I had heard about mixing glue and shaving cream together and painting with it.  My older two did it in Pre-K.  So I thought we would try it.  I wasn't sure of how much to use so I just winged it.  I filled a small bowl of shaving cream and then added about 1/2 a bottle of elmers glue.  I seperated into three bowls and then added some food coloring.

latest progect

I saw this on Pinterest.  I can't seem to find the original link.

  It was really easy.  I took two old 4x6 frames painted them blue.  Next I drilled some holes and screwed in small hooks.   Lastely I used some 3m picture hanging strips and hung them on the side of my cabinet right by the garage door. 

It keeps my keys nice and out of the way.  It is just something we have been needing at our house. 


I am still working on the pallet shoe holder.  I got a hold of some pallets, I am currently sanding them.  pictures to come when finished.

Shoe Organization

So I found this picture on Pinterest the other day, and decided I had to do it.  So I asked on facebook if anyone had pallets.  Lucky me I got a bunch for free.  So I am on my way to doing this.  I am going to put it in the boys room.  They can use it for their shoes, and like soccer  stuff (or whatever sport we are currently doing)  

Now to figure out what to do with the rest of them.  I am thinking of keeping one outside for the same purpose as this one.  But for outside shoes, like scotts cutting grass shoes.   Then I was also thinking of using 2 for a headboard for my room

My husband as usual is just shaking his head.  Ok, so I am on a roll again.  But so far on this craft I have spent 10 bucks.  Not bad.  

165.4

yippee.

I had been kind of discouraged after doing my weekly weigh in yesterday and only losing .2 pounds.  So I thought I would weigh in again today.  And I finally hit 165.  So now my new goal is 160.  I am so excited. 

I have also decided to track periodically during the week just to kind of have a idea.  I am a little worried that this could be to much for me.  (like if it isn't going down) or it could be a good thing (like realizing it isn't going down or has gone up because I haven't been making good choices) but more frequenly then weekly.  I don't know.  I just figured I would try it and see.

scheduling

So I am doing the Spark Coach trial. Today I was told I should schedule some spark time, and take time every day to plan for tomorrow. This kind of reminded me of fly lady. Flylady is a cleaning/organizing your life kind of program. One of the things she advocates, is your daily routine. I haven't had a daily routine in a while. I think it is time to get back on that bandwagon, set up a daily routine, and put some spark time into it. whether it be am or pm time that I take to use my spark time,, or both.

Besides being more put together in my fitness stuff I also need to be more put together in my every day life. My house again has started to fall apart. I have become lazy when it comes to cleaning a little more. I need to get back on track. I can do this, I just need to set up the routines and stick with them. (I had been doing really well after my youngest birthday, when my house got cleaned from top to bottom.. all i had to do was maintain it)
