#2-I've been busy.

The kids have been keeping me busy. I feel a bit like a put because I haven't posted in my blog in a week but life happens. That's my new motto. Life happens. My #1 Life Motto is "STOP THE BLEEDING". Most of you probably know that about me but if you don't, you do now. In order to avoid turning this blog in to my own soapbox regarding the economy I will end this paragraph now.

It seems like this month has flown by. It was just Thanksgiving and I am down to 8 days until Christmas? Holy cow! The kids have had two snow days in a row and snow days are just exhausting. There is a lot of commotion with all 3 of them at home at the same time. All day long...for two days in a row.....

Here's a little of what I've been up to:

On Saturday, the girls had their Christmas Dance. The proceeds from the dance benefited the local food pantry which is really struggling to keep stocked right now. My girls don't look thrilled in these pics but each one danced well and were happy to be there. I did learn a few things on Saturday. #1-Pack a bag for EACH daughter so each daughter has a bag in her dressing room. If not, she will pout and sulk and feel sad because she cannot change her clothes like the other girls. This looks like this:

#2-Little girls love to get flowers after their dance performance. It somehow makes them feel like they are extra specials. These flowers and gifts should be waiting for them in their dressing room. If not, you get this:

Yes, Ms. M (age 3) was stressed because she didn't have flowers waiting in the dressing room for her! LOL

On Sunday, DH and I made bath balls. We used Eucalyptus Essential Oil. These bad boys are STRONG. I haven't tried them out yet. I've just been using them as air freshners in the kitchen. Here's what they look like, though:

I made fudge a few days ago. Here is my assistant:

He found the jar of marshmallow fluff sitting on the counter. He decided to open it up and try to get out what was left. Isn't he funny??

Since I have been M.I.A., I'm going to go ahead and do My Favourite Thing Tuesday on another entry. Read up!
