Patty Cake, Patty Cake, hit the baby with a hammer????

WHAT!!!!

Bella has been obessed with claping games today... ya know, the ones you did on the play ground ...

"Miss Suzie had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Miss Suzie went to heaven
The steamboat went to......" well you get the picture!

So as we are clapping away this evening she starts singing... "patty cake patty cake... smak the baby with hammer... put it in the oven & throw it out the window!!"

WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING KIDS THESE DAYS!!!!! HaHa!!!

So I asked her, "Did you mean roll it pat it mark it with a B & put it in the oven for Baby & Me??"
Oh YEAH!!!! she says... thats the way it goes!! & then gets tickled at herself!



I sure do love that silly girl!!

I have been playing in star dust... are you missing me??

I wont tell you much... its a secret... but here are a few hints as to what I have been up to lately...





... the secret to be revealed in a few days....

First Day of school & other happenings...

Yesterday was the firt day of school... ((Im late sharing this I know... but soon you will find out why...))

Its hard to believe that I have a Freshman ... a 7th grader... a 1st grader & Bella is in PreK! Where has the time gone! I remember when that freshman boy was heading off to his first day of Kindergarden crying his eyes out for me... & now he is almost a man!

& little Miss Bella...

She did great for her first time away from me... a little worried at first but she warmed up real quick...


I think I was much more worried than she was... & I cryed all the way home...

My Big first grader was super ready to start the school year... & even tho he was worried that he would "HATE" 1st grade he hopped in the van & told me all about his rocking first day as a 1st grader! ((he even loved Mrs Cruise... surprise!))



And even more exciting than the first day of school... was the 6 hour stay in the emergancy room with London due to a severe hip sprain durring football practice... I still say my baby is too little for football! but what do I know!! He is mayjorly depressed about it cuz he will miss the first real game & have to be on crutches for a week or so... but I am so thankful it is just a sprain... & I am PRAYING that tonight we wont have any surprises... 3 nights in a row with little to no sleep starts getting to girl!

okay... off to nap!

Candy Corn..... YUMMMM!

Check out my newest Halloween Design!

I am really loving all the Halloween Fun!!!


I am almost done with all my Halloween stuff... be looking for a big clippie set coming in a few days!!!

& dont forget to check out all the other awesome designs in the BowFairies Spookatacular Launch!

Have a Spook~Tastic Day!

Are you ready for some WildCat FOOTBALL!

Well, its finally here... football season is upon us & the testosterone in my house has quadrupled!!!

Friday night was Londons scrimmage... & he was a little nervous you could tell... but all in all he did awesome!
((He's #24))

It took all I had to NOT scream "THATS MY BOY!!!"... when I thought he was doing something good... cuz lets face it... I know NOTHING about football... I just thought it was awesome he was out there holding his own!

Dad couldnt make it to the scrimmage... he had to cater a HUGE event that night... however he kept texting me through out the game & asking me questions about the run route & other things I had NO idea what they were! (TeeHee)


The actual season starts in a couple of weeks... & then it will be like running a taxi service back & forth to games all over the place... but I think I will love every minute of it... cuz I am a MOMMA CAT... its what we do best!


Go Cats!!

Trick or Treat..... Smell my Feet!

Its time to get ready for my FAVORITE time of year! Around here we start planning out costumes months ahead of time!... I think this year we have all decided to be pirates.... FUN!

I put up a bunch of Costumes on Ebay to get a jump start on Halloween.... & ALL costumes on Ebay will recieve **FREE** Shipping!

& as always.... if you dont see something you like just ask! I am now accepting custom orders again!
And I have some new costume designs in the works.... Cinderella... a Witch with a new funky hat design.... a clown.... & a couple other ones!... So keep checking back!!

Following in my footsteps....

When I put the pastery Chef hat on she too wants to be a pastery chef...
And when I am sitting for hours making jewelry for other little girls she never once complains... she just wants beads, or clay or whatever else I am working with...
This weekend Daddy was gone... off to rock out at OzFest with his buddys... & the brothers all had friends over to keep them busy... so the princess & I snuck off in the evenings for pedicures & to the bead shop where she picked out lovely rainbow fiberoptic beads & 2 sweet ladybugs so we could make bestfriend bracelets...
I only have a week left with her... & then she will be off to school & new BFFs & adventures of her own... & when I think about it my heart breaks.
I wont be taking it off anytime soon... she wont let me... but everytime I look at it I am reminded of just how much she sees... & watches me & of how much I will miss her.

I Scream... You Scream....

WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!!!


The screams resonated through the house..."I hear the Ice Cream Man!!!!" OMG... the ice cream man... NO WAY!!!

I am at times a tad leary of the ice cream man... Ive seen far to many horror flicks & watch way to much Dateline... but how could I keep my kids from this summers right of passage...
Everytime we hear the little song coming down the street one kiddo runs to stop the van & I am pulling every dollar bill I can find out of my purse & yesterday pair of jeans!
& each time they all get the same things!...


& Its always worth it....



Happy Summer!

Bada Blingg Is ON VACATION!!!

I am shutting down etsy... & ebay stuff should be done by tuesday... I need a break!

Merry Christmas!!!

Fashion at its FINEST!

This past friday Bella had her first sleep over!!!... she has slept over at her BFFs house before... but Julia has never stayed with us... soooo out of guilt & slight bulling from Cj & Bella both we had a brother/sister sleep over! (how convenient that both sets of siblings are BFFs!)

Bella has had this sleepover planned to the minute for a week now... so we began the evening with a fun splash in the pool... then pizza while watching Hannah Montanna... & finally for the grand finale The Fashion Show!



We had sparkly make up...a pink wig... TONS of costumes & the older bros made us a stage with a curtain, lights & hot pink runway!



The super twins even presented us with an outstanding boys line!...
(yes that is my youngest son in the middle dressed as a Pimp... dont judge me!))



And "The Brothers" got into it as London came up with some fantastic creations & Austin MC'ed the event!.... It was a night to remember!

And the winner is....

Jessica Eubanks!

Congrats Jessica! Shoot me an email with your address & I will ship these out to you!

My kitty is a tail sucker!!

Ya know its bad when even the cat sucks her tail in a house full of thumb suckers!


She just started this a month or so ago... we would notice the end of Basils tail was always wet.... I thought she was just getting up from her nap & cleaning herself... but soon we discovered no... she is sucking her tail like a thumb!!
She will climb in your lap, snuggle up & start sucking!! It the funniest thing I have ever seen! So for those of you who didnt believe me here she is... Basil the tail sucker!
