Pop Tart or Crack Rock

So I have never been addicted to drugs, but I would imagine my addiction to Red Velvet Poptarts has to compare. I had a pinch of one and an hour later I had purchased 3 boxes. I have consumed about 8 in 2 days. They are complete and utter yumminess!! The terrible new is 1. Even at only 180, as many as I have eaten my diet is ruined and 2. They are a limited edition. Actually #2 is probably a good thing as it will rid of #1!! Random blog, but hey its the little things that excite me!!

Cheer Nausea

Oh yes this is what I am experiencing today. Along with a group of 32 other girls and moms. Today is the day that our daughters get about a minute a piece to prove that they are good enough to be chosen for the 2013-2014 EWMS cheerleading team. That minute will detemine how they spend the next year, which is beyond insane. I've been through many nerve racking things in my day, but when it comes to your child nothing else compares. So just like last year, I will pray that she does her best! No matter what happens I am super proud of all her hard work and the wonderful cheerleader she has become over the past year. Love you Maddie Mae!!

SHE MADE IT OFCOURSE!! I have no idea why I was so nervous, lol. Cheer 2013-2014 here we come!!! So proud of her!!

A cute little gift

I've been wanting to make this cute little gift for some time now, but I always forget. As my kids finished off the sour cream pringles from St. Patricks Day, I remembered!!

First I washed out my pringles can and baked some cookies from scratch!!

Ok, ok so they were from the cookie dough sale at school not homeade!! They taste awesome though!

Next I modge podged a piece of pretty scrapbook paper around my can.

Finally I filled the can with cookies and topped it with a ribbon!!

Easy Peasy and soo cute!!

I got this idea on Pinterest, but I didn't link it because when you click on the picture it says its Spam.

Kid Condo

My awesome boss saved these huge boxes for my kids while we were on spring break. We drug them out of the van on Saturday and decided to make kiddie condos!!

First we cut doors and windows and a hallway between the two.

Next we added some roofs!

Last we gave them a paint job!

So they didn't turn out like the cardboard mansions on Pinterest, but we had fun making them and the kids have been in them for 2 days. They even had lunch and dinner in them. Good, cheap fun!!!

Make an ice pack

This is the text I got from Hunter after playing basketball with friends. Those of you who know Hunter know the poor boy is soo accident prone. He rolled his ankle and it was very large when he got home.
