My cutie and my Christmas cactus

After my Grandmother saw my Christmas cactus she gave me hers this summer, I kept it outside all summer and brought it in when it started getting cool, it is really showing out! I will set my smaller one outside next year, too!
These are a couple of pictures of Charli Wednesday, she was acting silly so I didn't get any really good ones but she was cute with her little earrings!

I wasn't prepared for what happened on The Mentalist tonight! I really love that show!
Here's another picture from Charli's other Grandmother. Love the little suit!

Trey's Mom took this sweet picture! She shares lots of pictures with me on Facebook.
I forgot to mention I sold 3 pairs of the earrings I posted and Mom's boss said I could bring some to the store to sell! That is great because they sell all types of gifts and jewelry!!

As you can see I had some 'help' working on a scarf I am making, LOL! She kept saying "Do it, Please!" and twisting her hand so I took a picture, she was very excited! She is working on coloring right now and I thought while she colored I could work on my scarf but she really wanted me to color, to.
She was excited to show me she was sleeping in her big girl bed now, Gina and Trey converted her crib and she was enjoying getting in and out of it!
And finally these are the socks I got her. She Loves them! Pulls up her pant leg and says, "Ho, Ho, Ho!" She loves 'Claus', and already is excited to see pictures of him!

Note to self: need to update header.
Got my H1N1 shot at the health dept and only had to wait 45 mins. then went to eat at Huddle House with Mom and Jeff. Les is on all nights except Wed. this week.

Christmas Earrings

Yesterday Les and I went to Greenville and I got this wonderful pair of chain nose pliers! They work so good in my right hand! I will go back and get the round nose ones soon!
Here are the Christmas earrings I have made so far, I have made several pairs today and working on painting some flower pots and listening to XM radio 70's music. Trying to stay away from Facebook, LOL!

Gina's MIL took this picture, Charli is really getting to be a little model between her two grandmas, huh?
I went to the dentist today, I have had two cracked molars for way too long, one was half gone and he built it up and it feels like my original tooth and the other hemorrhaged so I got a temp filling and have to go back in a moth. It was not bad at all!
Also my Mom had a biopsy done on her chin, it may be a gangian cyst, I pray it is. That's how my problem started 10 years ago with my hand. I woke up the other morning with a knot and I thought it had come back, thank goodness the swelling went down. I am having problems with it lately though.

Been a great week at work, had 4 kids yesterday, just 5 today and Monday. All have runny noses, I am glad Charli does not. I woke up with congestion but do not feel bad. Stayed home from church, I didn't get home until 6:40 and didn't want to go back out in the wet, cold weather.
Les made us some Taco Soup and I harvested my Farmville Farm and plan on going to bed soon.

I have been on a scrap booking lull lately and made very few pages but Cathy K came out with a cute Christmas kit called Deck the Halls I thought it was perfect to scrap this picture I took of my 21 month old GS, Seth singing with my son, Jeremy. There are cute Christmas elements, too which I will be using later.
Gina has a dentist app today so I will be keeping Charli a few minutes.

Today I pulled out my Christmas Clothes! It's moving closer isn't it?

Also today was the funeral for a church member, Curtis Wilson, Les is working and so I didn't go. He was blessed to have another church member be his patient sitter and spend his last weeks with someone who cared that he was comfortable.

CONGRATS to my nephew who won a Band award this week end.

This is my MIL receiving the flag at the funeral, I think it's a great picture!
Waiting for my grapes on Farmville, they will be ready very shortly, Les is having as much fun at this as I am! He and Gina want to do colored fences around theirs I like the white one best, LOL!
Got some great buys yard saling today! Plenty of glass and windchime stuff. I also sold some jewelry at my Dr.'s office yesterday and my Mom sold 2 pairs of earrings just by wearing hers yesterday to work! I had to go by and get some beads to make them and got some to make some Christmas, ones too.
Les has to work Again tomrrow! That's 3 in a row! He has a new boss and I really thought he would get off! I just don't like to drive at night when it's cool, I cough so much and can't see well at all so I usually don't go. I already have my missions meeting Monday, I was hoping he would be off to drive me. No such luch, he works next 3 nights!

Grand babies are so awesome! I missed Charli so I stopped by Debbie's to see her and we had a good time, she cried because she thought I was going to take her. I did go to Kindermusik and play with her, she was sleepy, I guess she has not got used to the time change.
Mason's new IE came today, I am glad she is going to help him!

Time Out!

Charli has a book she likes to pull out of her Mommy's shelf and when she did I gave her a Time Out. She goes right into her room to sit on the carpet. We always talk to her about what she did wrong and she does understand. I am very proud of her!
I was feeling very bad and had a low fever but thanks to Tylenol and a nap I feel much better now.
Zaroga, you were right about Farmville, it becomes an Obsession! I am waiting for my Watermelons to grow, they have been 99% for quite awhile! I don't like farm Town, though, I have a pile of Fuel tanks I have been gifted but nothing to run on fuel. Les is also hooked!

Isn't this adorable? Jeremy and Seth singing at church, he sings and hums a lot, too, maybe both my babies with be musical!

Juli put some pictures of Seth in his Halloween costume so I wanted to share.

Halloween was Rainy so instead of going Trick or Treating like they planned Gina called and asked me to ride to visit Charli's Grandmothers, she had a great time and so did they! We went to Mama's, my MIL and Trey's Mom's house and she enjoyed the attention!

My sweet little Plex Robot! We had our Fall Carnival tonight and Charli had a blast! She is very funny, didn't want Gina to paint her face so I had to do it, I Did have to get Gina to fix it though as it was hard both holding her and painting her face too!

Les and I didn't make good time coming home from Atlanta, got home at 11:20
Seth is a very good traveler!

I have had the worst time getting pictures of my babies together! Saturday Charli didn't go to Emerald Farms with us and it rained so much lately and today we went to feed the ducks, Charli decided she didn't want to give up the rolls to the ducks and ate them, LOL, the bread was still ok just what we had left from all the bread from the funeral.
I get off early tomorrow and we head to Atlanta, oh, I dread the drive!

We ate supper with the kids, looks like Les and I are going to have to take them to Atlanta as soon as I get off Thursday, not looking forward to the drive. Les has an infection in his back and will be miserable!
Charli Loves her Uncle Jeremy!

Pictures from Saturday when we took Seth and Eli to Emerald Farms

Continuing with our theme based on COMPASSION, our scripture verse for Week 31 comes from 1 Peter 3:8 which says:

Today we went to Anderson with Tim and L.A. to go to Sam's to get some things for the church and ate at Fuddrucker's then took Seth and Eli to the Goat farm, Charli was supposed to go and I was sad she didn't but that's the way it went.
Then we went to see Grandmama, I got some pictures but they are Bad, I wish Twila had been there of someone who could have got them...
Trey put my exhaust fan in, too, it will help my breathing in that small bathroom!

OK, ZAROGA, I HAVE YOU AND GINA TO BLAME!
I said I wouldn't do Farmville because I have such an addictive personality but there I did it anyway! I am waiting for my crops to grow!!

Les and I are busy rolling on the floor with the kids...

My Grandkids

I told you I would post pictures of my babies and here they are! You may can tell Charli is taller than Seth, he is so much like Jeremy was!
I hope to get back to 'normal' soon. I went back to work today then kept Charli until 6:00. We were going to eat over at Gina's but Seth hurt his shoulder so we stayed home. There are 2 places Jeremy wants to eat while here, a Mexican restaurant I took him to when he was a kid and Rick's Uptown Deli which has some good southern vegetables! He loves collards, beans and cornbread all mixed together, He doesn't get that kind of cooking in Washington. The family wants to take him out to dinner before he leaves, I wish they would agree to take him to a place HE wants but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. We used to go to Rick's after church and when he came home on a leave when he joined the Army. I will make sure he gets to visit his favorite places any way.
Les spent time helping his Mom trying to see what she has and needs to do. We are upset about that situation but I won't say anything about that.

Just got in and am too tired to post anything but this one picture I caught of Les and Jeremy after funeral...

Scripture Challenge at SBE

Continuing with our new theme this week based on COMPASSION, our scripture verse for Week 30 comes from Joel 2:13a which says:

Been with family all day, got few pictures but too tired to post, I will say Seth is a cutie and loved his meme, I spent a lot of time with him. Many of our church came to the funeral home and they really brought in the food!
