{10 for Tuesday a little of this a little of that:) )

free printable from here

 A little peak inside our life this week:

1.}Don't use a tin foil ball like pinterest tells you will work wonders for static etc....pretty sure its what left silver streaks on my blankets and hoodies ...lesson learned :(

2.} Don't order early from Vista prints.ca and think your on the ball..... got them back and they were grainy and pixely :( the pictures themselves are high quality so....lesson learned not there again no matter how good the deal sounds:(

3.} Pretty sure this boy has talent K drew me my dream home close to it he is so good to me:) sweet caring observant and fun he and K2 are a lot alike
and this awesome horse these make me happy 
I love happy children pictures.....

4.} K2's  surgery is on Monday getting nervous no matter how big or small any surgery is not fun to go through:( He is the sweetest boy ever he keeps telling people "i get surgery and I look straight and see good " he is so smart! So send your extra prayers our way Monday :) now if we can keep him healthy till then so it doesn't get postponed:)

5.} This is the craziest month when it really shouldn't be...love this quote:
“It is easy to get caught up in the pressure of the season and perhaps lose the very spirit in our lives that we’re trying to gain.”
-president monson

6.} Started our Book advent Dec 1st the kids love it and their aunt alley gave them countdown ornaments they do everyday and they are loving it we made salt dough ornaments last night for FHE the kids loved it! #didntjumpontheelfontheshelfbandwagonthisyearsomanyotherthingstokeepupon

7.} My Christmas Wish list ha ha includes kitchen things never thought the day would come but they just aren't something I go out and buy:) 

oh and a new pair of these would be perfect;) aqua 7 this is all in hopes my husband reads my blog;)

 8.} Lots of foggy mornings around here pretty but if the 90 days thing stands febuary is going to be brutal...

9.} Best book I've read in a long time ITS SO GOOD ! READ IT:)

10.} I have now jumped the allergy board from my hundred others I'm already allergic to....  and can now add nuts and citrus to it:( dried fruit with sulfa dioxide whatever the preservative is in all of them so so sad because I love almonds and dried fruit:( getting old sucks ;) 
I did find these at Costco that I can eat and I love them they have nothing but pineapple in them no preservatives they are super good!


 Bonus:) Instaweek Shots....

making buns|learning to read awesome| crafting |beautiful sunrises| and peace.
 ...and my favorite instagram shot this week my kids got up made scrambled eggs and all worked together ... grated cheese, bacon bits, ham and peppers and served it up to each other and sat down to eat and when I walked out from getting ready I said "awww" and they laughed and said "we knew you'd say that" probably one of my favorite moments this week Love my fabulous four!
 ------------------------------
So through it all...... the ups and downs...the busy "ness" of the season if we remember ....

"How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us. 
and, keeping that picture in mind, 
we manage ourselves each day to be and do what really matters most."
-Stephan covey.

Merry Christmas !!
one last whine;) a little pet peeve......
because thats what it is .........I strongly dislike the happy holidays syndrome going on ... actually I will shop at a store more if they use the word CHRISTMAS for what it is! I strongly dislike the wording Happy Holidays its CHRISTMAS people! 
anybody else feel that way sometimes I feel like the only one bothered by it:)

 Thoughts? Who's still out there anyway? 
What are you looking forward to at Christmas most?

{I tried a new music site but not sure if I did it right can you hear any music ?}

Nope. No music. Your quote at the beginning of this post is very appropriate. "All is calm". ; )

Okay. Must comment on some of these.

No. 1 - 2 Thanks for letting us know! Yikes! So sorry to hear. Sometimes trying to save money costs money in the end. That sucks. So sorry.

No. 3 That is awesome! Great budding artist there for sure.

No. 4 - K2 is in our prayers! Maybe some of us will see you there at the hospital. Brynn's is the same day and probably close to the same time. Hugs! Hang in there. He is in great hands there at the C. Hospital. They are SO good with kids and with what they do.

No. 5 - Amen to that!

No. 10 - Oh no!. That's hard when the list grows. Have you tried THRIVE pineapple? So good. Great snack to snack on. All their Freeze dried stuff is preservative free.

Your kids making breakfast.....now THAT is fantastic! Great job guys!

P.S. Totally agree on the thoughts on Happy Holidays.

Merry Christmas Christal!

I am looking forward to being home for Christmas and putting up a real tree this year!! PS Can I borrow the book Edenbrooke?? :)

We will be thinking of you guys on Monday, I'm sure it will all go perfectly!
I have passed over that book thinking it would be cheesy, but maybe I'll give it a try.
I want those shoes too! Maybe my birthday. But then I would actually have to start running again!
Love those measuring cups, so cute!
I can't believe you are allergic to more things, all nuts?
I feel like I haven't seen you in ages. This month is crazy, but I'm trying to enjoy the craziness and watch what I do. Christmas shopping in November helped! Now if only I didn't have to work and Brad wasn't doing the work of himself and two other employees for another week and a half...

Have you tried the frozen mango's at Costco? They're organic and really delicious. (they're by the frozen berries across from the cereal. Well, for now anyways...you know how Costco likes to play hide and seek with all their items! They always put stuff somewhere else don't they?) TANGENT.
I love the picture of the kids and the eggs - I hope my kids do things like that as they get older!
I'm trying to enjoy December and be a nice mother.
Things will go good for your fam on Monday - he's the most darling little boy!

I'm still here, sometimes I just read your blog quick cause I'm trying to fit in tons of stuff during my few minutes of computer time (I actually set a timer to make sure I don't spend too much time on the computer while Shanelle is sleeping and Bryce is at school cause if I don't sometimes I can spend an hour or more and not even realize it) Anyways, good luck with the surgery, it will go fantastic I know it. Thanks for the book suggestion, always like getting those. I have a suggestion for you......to put on your list for Christmas - a dehydrator. I use mine lots and sounds like you need one too. That way you can have dried fruit and keep it all natural. I've done pineapple on mine and its soo good. Just a thought.
See ya on tuesday. So glad that your on PAC!
