Wordless Wednesday

Happy Not So Wordless Wednesday friends! This sequence of photos was taken over the weekend, at the pool obviously. lol The kiddos decided that I was going to take loads of pictures of them under the water, which I took full advantage of because normally they don't like me taking tons of pictures. They turned out pretty cool actually! You can see the bubbles etc pretty clearly! 

 

Hope you all have an awesome Wednesday! :)

 

 Bigfoot was in the original picture when we thought hey the bubbles look kinda cool!

 Followed of course by Princess (please ignore my finger)! lol

 and not to be outdone by Spunky who imo looks like a mermaid! ;)

One of both girls cause it's too funny not to share!

Alone time

I need it.

No, I crave it.

I just never seem to get any of it!! No one in my house understands this and it is driving me insane! The hubby usually goes to his BFF's house three times a week. This week he missed Sunday. That means no alone time for me since.. well last Wednesday.

I fluctuate between simultaneously loving and hating these outings not that I need help with the kids but, because you gotta admit as a women we can be clingy. On those clingy days I don't want him to go, but on a normal day it's "See ya later don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!" lol

TMI so if easily offended stop reading here! Tonight we are gonna get it on, so naturally I ask him "Hey babe, you should go take a shower." To which he responds "I already have." Ugh, there goes another 30 minutes I could call my own! lol

Talk to me cause I need to know I am not alone! lol

Do you need or get any time "alone"? Can you live without it? How often are you able to get it?

Hello, UBP Visitors! Thank you so much for stopping by! :)

Let's start with me. I go by many different names, Leanne, Mom, Phoenix and sometimes “Hey Lady!” lol I love hiking, cooking and doing crafts with my kiddos. That is basically what my blog is about, sharing crafts, recipes and of course pictures. Well that and the occasional random things that happen in our crazy world. We are a blended family so that always makes things interesting. We try to face it all with humor because without a little laughter what do you really have?

 Me after a fun night out with the girls! :)

Out of the mouths of babes

I just found this post while cleaning out my archives, it's just a few quotes from the kiddos throughout the years, but I felt it needed to go into rotation so here it is! lol

Below you will find funny quotes that have come out of our children's mouths! lol

• "I hit it with my thumb toe!" said Spunky when she hit her big toe on the door.

• Princess used to say "Wanna piece of meat?" when she meant to say "Wanna piece of me?"

• I said "Spunky, are you licking your muddy knee?" she says "Well I don't wanna eat my boogers!"

• Today, while dancing with her balloon, Spunky (who is six mind you) said "You are my husband and you are just my type!"

• I asked the boy, who is twelve, to help me with dinner by opening a can of beans (the pop top kind) to which he replied "I don't want to, I might break a nail!" LOL!

• Jeremy was vacuuming, T-man jumps up and looks around the corner all crazy, so I ask "Are you afraid of the vacuum cleaner?" He says "Yes" I ask "Why baby?" and he says "My mom never vacuums unless we are having company!" LMAO!

• I was telling Bigfoot about how I was cheating to find out the end of a movie the other night by googling it and he tells me "So how'd that work out for ya?" lol smart ass!
