Random Saturday.

It's been a rough couple of weeks, so we are having a random Saturday of fun. Daddy Monster has a day off of work and the Monster, tired from her crazy bout of running around, has gone down for a nap. So, I thought I would share our Saturday with all of you.

First, she got a covered turtle sandbox this weekend (5 bucks at a garage sale!) and got to enjoy that for a while, Daddy Monster tried to show her how to use a cup to start making sandcastles.

So, the sand goes in the cup?

Yep. I got it.

And now over the edge and out of the box.

I will dig now.

We named him Ted.

Then, she decided she wanted to swing, a lot. I mean, for an hour she was on that swing.

Higher mom!

Swinging!

Then, it was castle slide time.

That's right, I go head first, I ain't scuuuuurd.

Now I am going to climb up the slide.

Then, she got thirsty.

YUM! Juice!

Then it was more castle slide time.

I'll stick my tongue out at you again!

Peek-a-boo!

I love this little girl. <3

Just Because.

It's like she crawled halfway up and said "screw it," then started snoring. Adorbs.

Today, We COLOR!!!!!!!!!!!

Every single time I sit at my computer to start making some cards or get a scrap page done, I have this little monster at my chair begging to come up and sit in my work space. :( I have three grad cards to make, a boat load of late mother's day cards, the boat load of father's day cards, and even a few birthday cards (in all I'd say about 15-20 cards total) to get done, and I have a monster in my space. *sigh* I guess when she goes to sleep then.

Lately, she's been wanting to use my metallic markers to color with, along with my set of cute kitty highlighters. So, without any ado: Monster Colors.

Kitty Highlighters!

Coloring! YAY!

Trying to get a hold of these things.

LOL.

So, I take this here...

color everywhere...

This is the lid??

So, this goes in here. Got it.

I made ART mom!!!!

So, that's what we did today. <3 you guys.

At last...it snows in Colorado!

We've been waiting for this for a long time. Last week, for example, it got to 55 degrees where we live. In Colorado. It sucked. Now...blizzard conditions in some parts of the state. :D So happy about that. I haven't been able to take Kaylee out into the snow yet because of blowing winds that hurt your face so I think it can wait until tomorrow, when things calm down a little bit.

Blurry sepia snow.

Tree down. The dead tree to the left is seriously needing to be put out of it's misery.  :(

Other than the fact that it finally snowed (seriously, we were without it for like five weeks), I've been trying to capture Kaylee on camera dancing. She dances, she just somehow knows that the camera is focused on her and she immediately stops and looks at you all shy like. It is quite funny to watch her dancing though. I will get it eventually and then everyone can hop on over to our youtube channel to watch it. I finally got that set up. Yay!

Anyway, I start my new job a week from Monday. Just got the confirmation that my background check and drug screen came back clean (I had no doubts of course, but it's always refreshing to know that you are 100% right about somethings). So, once I get established in my new job, we will be moving back to my hometown (just because it is far closer to where I work, and my car would do better if my job was closer)! Yay, I am really excited about that. I get to be where I love to be. Don't get me wrong the town we live in now is great, but I long to be back at the base of the mountains. *shrieks* can't wait.

Anyway, that is really all I have. We've had a lot of adventures in climbing recently, and we've had a number of scary tumbles, :( but we're getting there. The other day Monster thought it was funny to try and climb up on her school bus scooter, and the wheels went out from underneath her - she believed it was most unpleasant. Anyway, some pics and then I am off to start doing laundry and the likes. I've got this last week to clean up and do all the laundry, and the grocery shopping for my lunches (because as much as I love downtown FTC - omg it is expensive to eat there) and yeah, all that good stuff. So, peace out, enjoy some pics and hopefully later today I can get Monster girl outside and we can get some snow Monster pics!

I am so good at computers mom, look! I opened a scripting window!

Ugh, can I just go to bed now? That Target trip got me all sleepy.

Fine, I'll sleep here. (We had to change the sleeper because she decided to
spit her water out all down her front side :( Then she fell asleep in the bean bag.

Just Because.

Today I felt really, really, really pressured to smoke. So, I had to come to the computer to sit and think about why and all that and decided that I needed to show myself exactly what I have done in the almost two years since I quit.

So, I have saved $2536.23, and have not smoked 12,080 cigarettes, and I have added 13 weeks and 1 day to my life span.

So, yes. I needed to put that down. And it just reminds me of the fact that four short months after quitting smoking I found out I was pregnant with the Monster, and that is what we're here for and that is why I still don't smoke. :) <3 JESS

Yay! I haz a duckie!
