happy halloween

the kids are going to trick or treat with their friends today. ashley with jennifer and joey with jayden. they really are growing up fast and they are such good kids.

they both got all As on their report cards. i know they don't get a lot of work right now, and ashley is right on the low end, but they try hard and that is what matters the most.

i am so in the mood to get christmas shopping done early this year. i just want to be done with it and not stress over it this year. we will see if that is what happens, i am sure it won't but you never know.

thanksgiving is going to be fun. my mom and dad are coming down and hosting it at their new home here in sc. heather and her family will be here too, and we are going to take the girls to the miley cyrus concert. it will be fun, i am sure! we are in the hunt for some new outfits for the girls.

i need photoshop really bad!

i really want to finish some "projects" i have going on my computer, but i really need photoshop to complete them. i have a free program for the mac, but it is just not doing the trick and i really don't want to learn how to use it.

i am going to start looking and deciding if i want the real photoshop or just photoshop elements and then move on so that i can complete the projects that i need to complete!

we are getting some work done

i am so not a remodel person! we are getting our floor done and the house is a mess, and i want to buy all new stuff now. i really want this table from ikea. now that we have one in charlotte nc, i may just have to take a drive and check it out. 

we are getting the floor tiled since we put some pergo down and 1. did it wrong, then 2. the dishwasher leaked and ruined it. 

other than that things are crazy around here. i am getting overwhelmed with feeling that i have things to do and i am not doing them. i need to refocus and start doing more lists and getting things done!

i have so many ideas that i see others do and i want to do but just not sure how to go about it. i really need ideas for what to do above our tv. we have a 42 inch flat screen on a table, not on the wall and i need something on that wall.  just not sure what would work. 

i had to jump on the keep calm and carry on bandwagon, now i need a frame for it. i will put that in the playroom i think.

i also want to redo the foyer really bad. all the light fixtures are so outdated and i would like to work on them too. but time will tell as to what we get done. but we have to get all the baseboards and things to finish the kitchen. i also NEED to replace our carpet, so not sure what will get done first. guess 10+ years later and 2 kids things start to fall apart!
