Closing on our house!!

We found out last night that we get our papers back today for closing but we have to wait til Monday because that is the next business day...That is good enough for me! Moving is going to be quite the adventure! We live in a basement right now and we have A LOT of stuff to carry up those stairs...And the fact that we will be moving in the middle of the week means we wont be getting help because everyone else will be working. It may take a while but I think we can do it(cross our fingers). Wish us luck!

A Frustrating Day!

Don't get me wrong I love my life and am grateful for everything I have..but when things don't work out like they should it is so frustrating! So to start out the day I decided to track a package I was suppose to get like 2 days ago..So I call customer service and they tell me to look it up on the UPS website. I found out that UPS couldn't deliver a package to me because "they couldn't find the address"and to call the sender...not a big deal, I call customer service and they tell me UPS just took it to the post office so I could pick it up there. So I have my sister pick it up for me while she is out and about only to find out they had already sent it back to "The Childrens Place".. so calling them back, for the third time already, I find out that once the package is returned, there is nothing I can do but be refunded my money even though I had nothing to do with them not finding my address and I went to the post office as soon as I found out it was there...I never once got a phone call telling me about the situation! Now this wouldn't be such a problem but the package consisted of an entire winter wardrobe for both of my kids including boots! All for under 100 bucks! I got some awesome sale prices and was so happy that I was done shopping for kids winter clothes! Anyway customer service for "The Childrens Place" sucks! She simply told me there is nothing she can do. They did not try to help me out AT ALL! And the lady was so rude!So, I am getting my money back so that I can shop elsewhere! Ok it as all out of my system now...you may be rolling your eyes at me and that is ok. Sometimes i just have to vent! I am sure you can understand that.
     So not even 20 minutes after that happened I find out we can't close on our house yet because we included the fridge in our loan, and the government says that since the fridge is not connected to the house it holds no value so you cannot include it in the loan...So, here we have been waiting to hear back from rural housing for a WEEK, so that we can close on our house and they finally call and tell us that....WHATEVER! It is so ridiculous! We were really looking forward to moving this weekend but it doesn't look like it is going to happen...We aren't that lucky obviously...
      Just a warning ....DO NOT EXPECT ME TO BE HAPPY TODAY!

Cobweb Cookies!

I love the holidays because there are so many fun treats to make...and EAT! :)

So only six out of  like 24 of these turned out ha ha but thats ok it was just for fun!

After dusting with powdered sugar

I thought they turned out AWESOME!

And they are yummy!

I guess that is what I get for leaving a chair by the counter..I turned my back for one second! Which was more then enough time for "ninja" Maycee to start pulling them off the counter.. This is her "It wasn't me" face.

So I let her eat all the ones she broke. She was sooo happy!

Sam The Man

Sam is such a happy little boy! We are so blessed to have such a good baby :)

This is Sam's favorite place to be :)

He loves to be able to see me if I am in the kitchen( ->)

Maycee felt left out... She loves to get her picture taken!

Apples Galore!

Today I spent hours and hours and hours making apple pie filling, some apple pie(I didn't help make the pie but I was watching Meghan and mom make it), and even some apple sauce, with Meghan, Mom, Dad and all the kids! It was a bit crazy at times(every kid cried at least once, and sometimes more than one at once) but oh so worth it for the yummy pie filling!

"Best job EVER!"...The kids got to wash the apples in a big bowl of water

Apples peeled and sliced

Meghan and mom putting the apples and syrup stuff into jars and boiling them

Doesn't it look yummy!

Maycee helped by biting every apple she could get her hands on

TaDa!

Me and Magoo

Boiling the peels and cores to make apple sauce

All done!

 

Little Miss Maycee Moo

Her first time experiencing the olive fingers. She didn't know quite what to do at first.

But she figured it out quickly

Maycee found the Q-Tips

At least she knows what they are for

She knows they go in her ear, she just hasn't figured out how to take them out

Maycee does this silly face so we tried to get it on camera while she was eating

This one is a little better

Finally a Blogger!

I decided to start blogging so that I could have an escape from all of my insanity! Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and husband with all of my heart, but every once in a while I do need an escape! So, I am going to try Blogging, because Facebook just gets old way to fast :)
