Tantrum's

So we go to the doctor today, little e and I. It's time to go, and she decides she wants a snack out of my purse. Problem is, there aren't any snacks in my purse. I'm sure you can only imagine what happens next.......FULL BLOWN TANTRUM. The doctor and nurses are just looking at me, wondering what I'm going to do. At first I just stand there and let her get it out of her system. After awhile, it's starts to get annoying, and really embarrassing so I decide to try and get her coat on and drag her to the car so only I can be the lucky one to witness this glorious event. Well......doesn't go exactly as planned. I do get her coat on, but she is flailing about so much, that it is almost dangerous to carry her, so I let her be. A boy and his dad are checking in. Curious, he just stares..... The dad notices this and tells his young son, "she must have gotten her shots today". If only he knew.....

WOW! Look at what I did today....

Had to run a couple of errands today with all 3 kids as there is no school today. We ended up at the mall to exchange some pants for Middle Man at the GAP and ran down to Old Navy just to see the specials. On our way to Old Navy, we noticed that the line to see Santa was actually pretty short. Somehow, the kids noticed that too. So I told my brood, that if the line was still short on our way back, we could stop. The time at this point was getting close to naptime for little e, so I actually thought I may have been having one of those out of body experiences~you know what I mean??? What was I thinking? Lo and behold, the line was still very short. UGH! At least I had my camera with me! Being the age of little e, I thought I may be pressing my luck, even thinkig of getting her close to the bearded one. But here she is....

Hey Monkey Pants!

I suppose a way to introduce my blog to you readers would be to tell you about how I decided on a name. A few months back, after I had stared making tu tu's and hair clippies for my own girls, I realized that I could make them to sell. (plus I was having so much fun, I made WAY to many!) Having grown up around craft shows, I figured that was where I would begin. Lucky for me, I didn't have to go far, as Big E's school has a show every fall. I contacted the proper people, filled out an application, and then began to wonder..... What would I call myself??? I wanted something fun, something that would catch people's eye. I started listening to nicknames around the house, comments that were made, but still couldn't come up with anything. Each of my kids seems to have a nickname of there own, and of course, they don't go together at all. So I went to my dear hubby, (he always has a clever comeback) for ideas. I knew the minute he said it, that was it ~Hey Monkey Pants!~. He calls everyone in our house that............even when he answers the phone when I call him. It was perfect! And so, my friends, that is how Hey Monkey Pants! was created. Oh, and check out my booth at the show....it was fun!

I have like 30 seconds to post this.....I DID NOT spend the entire day decorating my house for the holidays! There, nuf said!

little e

I've been away from the blog~just taking a break. Blogs are fun, but addicting!! Just a short and sweet post about little e. Yesterday I was moving furniture, preparing for the arrival of a Christmas tree, when little e came to me and says, "be careful, be careful with that". Is that not the cutest thing???

And no, the tree is not here yet!

little e decorated her tree today.....so cute! Yes I let my kids put theirs up early, why not? She insisted on putting the bead garland on by herself! I'll post pics of the other kids with their trees later......I'm tired!

Working hard!

I feel like I've been at this for hours...oh wait-I have! I'm trying to get the blog to look just the way I want it, so posting hasn't become the 'priority'. For those of you that know me, you know EXACTLY what I mean! So as you come across my blog, be patient and come back to visit!
Thanks!

First post ever...EVER!
