busy busy busy!

(Im just copying what I just posted on face book!  too lazy to start from scratch!)spent the day with Princess Marla Pie. we had such a good day! grammie bought her new clothes and new jammies and took her out to eat. afterwords, she took a great nap and when she woke up we played and hung out. Then, when it started to rain, we had the most fun ever! we went outside and I taught her to dance and spin around in it! she had a blast and didnt want to come back in! lol!
We saw aunt nessa, aunt bethany uncle torry and torry pie for a few minutes this morning and then tonight we visited aunt Jennifer and uncle Tony trupo! busy busy day.. but finally after lots of hugs and kisses for booboo and grammie.. she is zonked out for the night! And I am pooped out too! isnt she freaken awesome?!

Also, finally!  I can report that the bears that ive been procrastinating about for so long are just about ready to go in the mail! woohoo!  I'll post their finished pic tomorrow!  

for now its off to the couch I go for a little nap before I go to bed! LOL! 

sweet dreams!

only four more days til the weekend!!

wow,, what a busy weekend!  Lets see, Friday night I went to see The Great Gatsby, saturday I spent the day shopping with Bethany and the two Torrys.

We went to Sarahs garden center in Brockport.  Oh my goodness, I love going there.  I get my plants for my fairy Garden there because they always have the sweetest little tiny plants ! They also have a large water feature area and lots of goldfish for ponds.. Torry really loved the water and goldfish!

 Sunday I painted that silly fence in the pic above, worked on bears, and then I planted my  fairy garden.

I cant remember who did a mini dinosaur garden, but I think Im going to make one of those next weekend for Torry pie.. a fairy garden for princess Marla pie and a dinosaur garden for Torry!

Not quite done yet, I need to make a grapevine arch and add some mushrooms and stones.

so then sunday night I went and picked up marla and kept her over night.  she is sooo freaken sweet!  She is so much more quiet then Torry.  Torry talks non stop and plays hard.... marlas quiet and gentle.. they are so different, but of course each absolutely freaken perfectly precious in their own ways!!  torry doesnt like to eat, unless its sweet... marla.. LOVEs all food.  they crack me up!  So marla stayed overnight on sunday and kept me busy sunday til everyone came over for our memorial day picnic.

Everyone came, which was awesome.  I love having all my family at one time. We had about 4 extras here as well.. The more the merrier.  I invited one of the boys I work with over because he would have been stuck at his foster home, so he came and hung out with us for the afternoon.  He probably thinks we're all crazy.  (we are) !  I hope you all had a great holiday weekend!  I'm pooped from mine.

anyways.. it was a crazy fun filled busy weekend and now its time to jump in the shower, iron some clothes and get off to work!  only 4 days til the weekend again!!

Have a great week everyone!

morn'n girlie pies!

just a quick saturday morning postie here... 

so much to do this weekend, three days off and I feel rushed already before 9:00 am on saturday morning!  eiy yie yie!

Im off this morning to get some more flowers and groceries.  still trying to figure out what we will be doing for memorial day so I know what to buy..  I guess I will wake all my kids up with phone calls shortly to see what they really want to do and where they want to do it!  I would just plan to go to the lake, but it might be chilly there. only supposed to be low 70s sunday, which means cooler at the lake.

anyways.. supposed to go to a birthday party later.. not sure I'm going to make it there.  once I leave here, I dont want to worry about coming back at any certain time. 

and those bears.... I still need to finish those bears up this weekend...   Ive been such a procrastinator!  yikes!

went to see the Great Gatsby last night.  I have to admit I did not know the story.  while I absolutely loved the first half and the music and party scenes.. and where the love story started to unfold... I kept thinking how I wish I had been alive then and what fun I would have had partying and dancing like that...  and I couldnt wait to buy a copy of the movie....  (run on sentence here!)  I have to admit, that I didnt feel the same way about the second half!    I hated where it went in the second half and how it ended.  it was sad.  but I will probably have to buy a copy anyways... just because the first half was so much fun! 

OK.. rambling here.. really need to go get some stuff done.. figgy, frannie and buffy would like there breakfast by now for sure.. buffys in her cage whistling away and keeps saying "good morning the bird".  She is not going to be very happy to find out I'm out of birdseed... she'll be having eggs and toast and banana this morning to hold her over til I get home with seed later! 

have a great day girlie pies!

oh.. and remind me later.. I have news for yous!

PATRIOTIC ORNIE SWAP

 

peek a boo... eye see you!  you see me?  I have a stye.. this is from last night.. its uglier this morning.  but it doesnt hurt unless I touch it, so hands off!.    I look like a bug eyed monster! lol!  

so first off.. I have to apologize as I havent been out doing my normal blog visits.. Ive been busy with life.. working, working in the yard, family, you know.. same old same old!  

I'm excited as this coming weekend is memorial day weekend and of course thats the kick off for summer.  Im looking forward to beach days...  soon to come!  we may picnic at the lake this weekend, but wont get to the beach yet.  its really not supposed to be that warm this weekend.  only 70 on monday.  which is great really.. just not beach worthy for the family.. (it actually is for me though.. lol!)

 so Im assuming that a bunch of us will congregate at the lake for hotdogs and hamburgers and assorted other yummyness!

I didnt go to weight watchers this week, but did get weighed at the drs on monday and was down another pound.  however this morning I weighed in up a pound.. so I have to behave this weekend!  I will make sure I have low points goodies to munch on!

hoping to get these bears that I've been working on forever finished this weekend too...  I need to stop getting side tracked!

Now, on to something fun!  I had promised a patriotic ornie swap a couple months ago.  Again, like the nest swap, I want to keep this simple.  so the game plan is one partner each and one ornie each.  no extras unless its just a little something.  Just create an awesome little patriotic ornament and send it to your partner!   email me your name and make sure I have working links to your blogs and a working email so I can pass the info on to your partners.  Im going to match people up as they sign up to make it easier for myself.   some of you with the google + sites, we cant all access them for some reason, so if thats what you have, please make sure that your email address works.  I ended up leaving a couple people out of the swap last time because I couldnt contact them.

so, I will take sign ups for the next couple days. email me here;  vivianneroni@yahoo.com  

You may hear from me with partner info before I even close the swap because like I said, Im going to match people as they join.   please be sure to create something awesome and mail it to your partner by June 20th.

thats it!  I dont think I forgot anything..

OK.. I have to go feed the bird and water some plants.. 

have a happy day girlie pies!!

blasts from my past!

 My sister posted these pictures of me on facebook last night!  I got a good laugh out of them.  so hard to believe that I always thought I was fat, as I was a skinny thing!  oh to go back!  In the first pic, looking like a rock star, I was about 22.  In the second I was 14 or 15.  And, in the third I was about 18.  I really have no pictures of myself as a child.  maybe only 2 or 3, so its fun for me to see these.  a little blast from the past!

so far its been a nice weekend.  I spent yesterday with Torry pie, we put hanging baskets out and did a little birthday present shopping and then went to party at a place called leaps and bounce.. torry had fun playing in the bounce houses.. Grammies a little sore from walking in the bounce house with him because he wouldnt go in with out me..  ok ladies, for your information, its a little hard to walk in a giant bounce house when there are a dozen little kids bouncing !  my 50 something old hips are feeling it today... well, that and the fact that I bought myself a hoolahoop yesterday and was trying to do that for a while last night... whew!  a few minutes of that makes you a little warm!  lol!

 

Jennifer and her Tony got moved into their little cottage on the lake yesterday.  I went over last night and helped her unpack a bit in the kitchen.  she is right on the lake.. lucky her!

Today I,ve got to go get some more plants and then I plan on gardening and yard work for the day.. oh.. and seeing my sweet little marla pie for a while too!

speaking of marla pie.. look at these cute pics I took of her a couple weeks ago with my phone. I forgot I had them!

so thats life in my world today.. what are my bloggypies up to today?

see yas later!
