An Experiment....Conclusion....Hmmmm

If you remember back in September, the kids sent letters to their favorite Disney characters. I don't know if it has just gotten so popular because of Pinterest or what but at least they got something back. They each wrote to a different character: Ariel, Winnie the Pooh, and Lightning McQueen. Well, this is what they got back yesterday....

Very generic BUT the kids loved them. They were happy that they got mail from DISNEY! I was a bit disappointed but at least they weren't! It took 2 1/2 months but I think it was something fun we did together and we might try to do again! Have you tried to write a letter to a Disney character? How did it end for you?

MUPPETS MOST WANTED NEW TRAILER!!!! YAY!!!

Our family loves the muppets! I remember watching them when I was little and have tried to grow our kids up on them as they are a great family friendly show/movie. My kids love to watch the Ma-na-ma-na video OVER AND OVER AND OVER......they laugh every time and can of course sing it all together too! It's sad to think we have to wait until March 21, 2014 to see the movie! I am really happy they have started making them again!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!

My poor husband came home to this yesterday. That's right, I dug out some of the Christmas decorations! Yesterday was in the 60s, today is 20s and 30s with icy/snow/rain/yucky stuff. I thought I would be nice and get it all started for him and he could finish. I even took the kiddos to Lowe's and got him some light clip things. Well, this is as far as it got. He says he is fine doing it in the cold and rain and snow so we will see. All  I know is, I'm so ready for the Holiday season!!!

.................

I don't even know what to call this post. I have gotten so far behind again :( There are many things I have been saying I would keep up with and not find myself back in a rut. Well, I guess I am back in a bad rut again. Depression is not a fun thing. I am finding I have my good days and my bad weeks. Its been a few bad weeks, maybe a month now. Today I woke up feeling a bit better and ready to take on the day. House work is the main target today. I hate how bad the house has gotten again. I will not show pictures as it will not pretty pretty and will probably make me feel worse.  Lets just say its not as bad as some houses but worse than a lot of others. Trying to find a balance between all this crazy madness and then including my head is a tough battle. I was on pinterest, my latest getaway drug, and found a couple great cleaning schedules. I put a bit of one together for myself and then printed it out. Its on my fridge and looks all pretty. Now, the goal is by this weekend to get the house completely caught back up to where I can actually do the list and then see how it goes. I am hoping it will bring the cleaning down to none like the marathons it feels I do when we are cleaning up.

Sick Time

How do you know you have a geeky family? When they are sick, they play video games of course!

Not even 4 and all she wants to do is play her Dora game on the Wii! Daddy took her to the doctor and we don't know if its a virus or bacterial infection so she is on antibiotics and we will see how see gets in the next day or two. If she gets better, then we know if (or should I say WHEN!) anyone else gets sick if its the waiting game or going to the doctor. You could tell that she's not feeling well though poor thing :( BAD runny nose (she keeps saying she has a bloody nose!) coughing, a slight fever and pale. I am hoping she feels MUCH better tomorrow! I don't like my kiddos being sick!

Song of the day: Mah Na Mah Na by the Muppets I totally and completely blame this on their daddy! He was playing it the other day and showed it to them and this is all they want to see and hear! It is getting a bit annoying! I know they will move on to something else soon like always, but I do find it interesting how the muppets are moving on to a whole new generation!
