Happy Birthday TWILA

Watching some football with Charli as Gamecocks are ahead so far 28 - 6. She's getting tired and sitting with Les now. It is nice to have her here! We picked them up from school yesterday.
I wished my sister happy birthday on FB this AM at 2AM but I want to tell her here, too! I got your card and gift, hope to see you soon! I LOVE YOU!! Don't do like me and fall apart after 50!!!

Went to see Charli at grandparenets day this morning, she did great and knew the songs pretty well for being in school 1 week!
Too tired to do full exercises today after that and since Les worked all week and I only got to go today!
Got appointments at Duke Oct 1 day after cake walk.

Charli spent night last night, Les was working so we ate a little pizza and she played with her dolls and we colored. She was up at 7:30 but let me lay awhile while she colored beside me then she got up ate pizza Jeff fixed for her and got dressed and played Barbie. While I took my bath she told me call her if I needed anything she would be playing at the book case but ended up standing at the door watching to make sure I was OK, LOL. We watched Sponge Bob Movie twice and she enjoyed her Barbies and doll house.

Charli crawled in bed with me this morning telling me silly jokes and BFF secrets, LOL< her big thing is Good News, Bad News! THEN this afternoon she started dancing Sqidward Tentacles dance, she is too funny!

While I laid down with Ames Mama came and played with Charli then her Pop came home for lunch, when I got up she was watching Curious George on my computer and she had a sucker in her mouth. I got Ames some milk and grapes and me a cereal bar which she wanted too so I gave her that. I later see the evidence she left on my desk, LOL! She ate a total of 8! Thank goodness she only has 1 left so I put it in my pocketbook and do not have to deal with them any more! I spend a lot on healthier snacks like yogurt and fruit snacks. The suckers were from Papa Doug for her to share with church friends. She did share a few ;)

Had a short day with kids today, Charli kept picking on Ames so I sent her to play with Jeff for awhile. Got my Bale making pliers so tomorrow I plan to play with them. Hey, I found the earrings I thought Les had thrown away! I am going to fix them and get back to Mom, have not told her yet I found them!
This is a picture taken the last night Seth was here, he was eating Twizzlers and Les was picking on him. Les was in a very bad mood, he had worked with Debbie and came home snappy. He went to bed early, thank goodness ;)

I saw this on PINTEREST today! Thank goodness she loved it and had worn her Princess outfit so I used the Face Book Train freebie from FPD, Charli loved it!
Les has a kidney infection and stones. I was so hoping we could make it through a month with out him being sick! Missed work today will be off next two days any way. We have got to get some money ahead to pay for hotel, gas and food at Duke, I am really disappointed but have come to accept that is what living with him is like.

Charli baby is sleeping over, she left a list of how to take care of Splits, she is a feed and wet and doesn't have a diaper on ;)
She wanted to sleep over tonight, she was a little lonely and was so glad when I got up from nap with Ames she cried, she had watched a movie on Les's computer in our room and told me she wanted to play. Jeff had told her to come in there but he is still in pain and was laying down. I sat and held her awhile and then we played computer games which made her very happy.

Winter Vacation by Cathy K

I am starting to find my way around the Xara Photo & Graphic Designer and also found a free copy of very basic DIP so am making a couple pages and Les a Facebook Timeline page with Winter Vacation by Cathy K.
Once I get more familar with it it is an awesome program and can do so much!

Saturday

Charli spent today with us and we went to breakfast at McDonald's and too her to the Alcoves which she liked then we decorated the tree and made some ornaments. I was happy the game was Carolina 34 to Clemson 13. I can't wait to see if Jeremy got to watch! I was so excited I found him a black sketch pad at Michael's! It was half price because I got him a watercolor pad, too. I must box it up for him, I am going to surprise him!
Mama kept Ames, I am sure she enjoyed it, I loved having Charli alone every once in awhile!

This is one of those days you don't want to repeat, LOL! Poor Charli threw up before Gina even left and we had to strip her and put her in tub. Les took care of her mostly while Ames slept but she sat in my lap once I got up, I sat on the floor and held her once when she threw up saltines and sprite. Les gave her a freezer pop and when Gina came and got her it all came up. Kerry came home from Hospital and Jordon cut ear and had to have stitches...
But Les got his 40 hour sick time check, they didn't pay him the 8hr vacation day but that is OK, too.

Today Charli told me she didn't want to be a Clemson Tiger any more she wanted to be a Carolina Girl. Her parents bought her a Clemson jacket when she has always said "Go Gamecops!" and even said that in a store Sports Authority, LOL! she said she wants to be like Meme! I told her she was my BFF no matter if she was a Carolina girl or not!

An interesting day today, Charli was playing outside with Pop and Cora, fell, and had a severe nose bleed. I was laying down with Ames when he came and got me because blood was every where, so I got it stopped and after a while she calmed down to play with Cora again.
I posted some earrings on Facebook, I need to do well at the craft show next week since Les will be out for a few weeks.

Charli brought me some cookies she had baked and was supposed to share with her Papa and she ended up eating them all except the one she gave my brother and me. She told me, "It's our secret, Meme" Then her Papa came home she went right in and told him, "I ate you cookie, Papa!" I laughed and said "Charli, that was our secret!" and she was so funny and giggled!

Made several earrings for November show so far, Looks like Kathie and I are going to be alone because Jamie and Jenny are not doing it. I need the money because Les will be out of work with his surgery and will be on disability pay which is 70% of his pay. The thing is needing to fill up my air every 4 hours :(.

Took the kids to the park today. Charli was mad because another kid wanted to play with the bubbles and we gave him what was left in the small bottle, she really couldn't get over that! She came home and told Jeff about it, LOL! They were tired.

Julie called yesterday saying her grandfather passed away and they would be coming to Greenwood! I can't wait to see Seth!

Here is Charli's Halloween costume

Today Charli wrote on the TV, it must be a family thing because Jeremy did the same thing to his Mema's when he was 3! What made it worse was her Papa took care of that one then she went in my room and tried to put a sticker on mine. She cried like a Drama Queen when I turned off the TV and told her she was restricted from watching it the rest of the day. I did tell he I loved her and forgave her so I don't need to mention it again

I scrapped today! It has been a long time but Cathy K has a new U Build It kit Summer Serenade and I couldn't resist working on photos from June!

I uploaded a video of Charli today

Charli came in the door saying 'We're doing crafts today!" YEP, she's My grand daughter! She found her some envelopes got stickers, stamps, inks and paper punches and created.
