Never got around to telling You

October 30, 2010 in CELEBRATIONS/HOLIDAYS, CRAFTING, KIDS

Okay so yesterday Friday which was my Friday frenzy post I totally got side tracked and forgot to tell you all about the stress and crazy morning I had. So of course I had to dress the kids up for school . And it was their Halloween Dance A Thon… We got to raise 100. bucks which is the most we have ever got especially seeing that one one is allowed to go around the building begging for donations anymore ..well like forever since I was little. So anyway.. My middle child had a freak out over his costume… of course it would have to be him.. He has done this for the past 4 years since the start of school.. Some how he just gets all weirded out and anxious.. and just has a really hard time with it all . Maybe it is to overwhelming for him. Anyway he excuse my language. Bitched and complained the whole morning , which set us back from arriving on time to school. He almost totally refused to wear the Crayon costume I worked so hard on making. But I could understand it was kinda stiff and tight with his winter coat on and then his backpack and then he was like all hot and bothered.. Thank God the other to had no problem.. or I would have gone literally insane on them.

So we are out the door and walking down the street and I’m like screaming to say hurry up move it … kinda ordeal and then I remember the FREAKIN POPCORN Balls!!! and we all had to trek back to the house and go upstair , well the CRAyon went up stair with me the other two stayed in the lobby! while OHHH and ahhhh from all the people heading to work etc.  So we make it to school Late!! but thankfully the principle was not signing anyone in as late for that day.. yahhhh!! we made it ! Did I tell you I had to do all this by myself cuz father was working at 6 so the getting ready make up application, food, lunch, and screaming and crying wasn’t so bad. After seeing how cute they all were, and when they got to school all the smiles and laughs from friends and teachers made them all feel better!! here are the pics !

Jason comes next !!

and next the little orange Crayon:

What I used to make it was 1 meter of Vinyl in orange cost was $10.00/meter

I hand painted or drew all the lettering in with Sharpie Marker

found a Sand Pail and painted it to match the orange and put a face on it

added long sleeve orange t-shirt and black pants and some velcro to the back.

I thought this one was to funny he was like, ” I’m to hot , I’m to hot”!!! Oh gotta go It’s the great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is on will post the Halloweeen Pics tomorrow !!

Popcorn Balls for class!!

October 29, 2010 in CELEBRATIONS/HOLIDAYS, RECIPE

last night I decided to make my sons class some popcorn balls.. I didn’t know they where that hard to make maybe i didn’t let the sugar and corn syrup boil long enough but they were hard to form into balls…anyway They turned out great after that and they looked cute a friendly treat for Nut free schools… here is the recipe and pick!!

This is the cook book I have its simple and easy enough for a busy gal like me recipe goes like this:

PopCorn Balls

pre:10 min; Cook: 10 min; Cool: 45 min Make 8 popcorn balls

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup stick margarine or butter no veg oil spreads

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1/4 teaspoon salt /a few drops of food color if desired

8 cups of popped popcorn

1. heat all ingredients  except popcorn to boiling in Dutch oven over med-high heat stirring constantly. Boil and stir 2 min; remove from heat. Stir in popcorn until well coated; cool slightly.

2. Dip hands into cold water. Shape mixture into 8 balls, each about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Place on waxed paper; cool. Wrap individually

I wasn’t so keen on using corn syrup with all the hype they talk about it. and why it so bad for you , but wasn’t confident enough to sub it at this point. If you know of what else i could have use please let me know!!! I remember my mom used to use molasses but thought the kids wouldn’t like that flavour….hope you enjoy and it’s only once in a while..

How to create a Frankie Stein Foil Doll

October 29, 2010 in CRAFTING

So at the Fall Fair we entered a crafting class room to pay 3 tickets each and create this masterpiece!!! Here is how to do it!

Step One: out of Tin foil create to balls one for the body and one for the head secure with tape or glue gun.Step Two: next make 2 Tin foil snakes one shorter for the arms and one for the legs secure this to the body going around the back with glue or tape

Step Three: proceed to cover entire Foil body with black or what ever color you choose of streamer paper watch your creation come to life

Step Four: secure creation to cardboard stand by bending the legs to make feet and hot glue gunning it to the base, add a face, some hair or other scary finding and you have yourself a scary FRANKIE STEIN to display we had ours in the dashboard of the car!!!! BOO

Hope you can create your very own doll and you could do this for any occasion Halloween, Easter Bunny, Angel for Christmas get creative and try one!! best of all its kid friendly and really doesn’t take much time the kids loved scrunching up the Tin foil and adding the details..

Friday Frenzy Again :P

October 29, 2010 in KIDS, OUTTINGS & VACATIONS

Well sorry people never got back to getting back to the FAll fair!! It was great and the kids loved it . although I ended up spending so much money it was like 30 dollars for a book of 50 tickets with like each thing they did being around 3 to 5 tickets… which isn’t really that bad when you have ONE child but add 2 more and it’s not that much…. They had a haunted house which i wanted to go and but no one else wanted to.. to bad, cookie decorated like the last school which is always a hit, a raffle , silent auction, bake sale , arts and crafts which they like made a franky stein doll and bouncy castle.. Wow sound even like a lot.

Fall Fair

October 23, 2010 in OUTTINGS & VACATIONS, REVIEW

Tomorrow we will be heading to not our school but another school a few steps away for a Fall FunFair… We went to one during the summer and I had to say they school did quite well in my eyes….They had cookie decorating , a bouncy castle, a rock climbing wall , face and henna painting, a 50/50 draw and a raffle. Karaoke Idol, a silent auction, bake sale and that is just to name a few… They had play all you want passes for 20.00 bucks which I passed on with 3 kids just do much money I know it was going to a good cause but it wasn’t our school #1 and well to tell you the truth just a little to expensive for my taste .. so i opted to spend 10 dollars for a few tickets which they could use on what ever they wanted and seemed to be satisfied..

This is the bouncy Castle from Summer !!

Face Painting Spider Man and

Fishing Game!! What Fun !!

So enough about  the summer fair.. I will have to tell you all how this one went tomorrow and see if it measures up ?? anyone been to a good fair that they want to brag about ?? Or a returning outing they just can’t do without this time of year like pumpkin patches or farm excursions… let me know!! I would love to hear about them. see yah tomorrow will def post pictures LOL

October 21, 2010 in GENERAL

Yes I couldn’t believe all the followers I have!! Now most of them where friends from work f/b or school and know I actually have real blogger mom friends .. bare with me all while I figure out what ya’ll are talking about too because atm I have no clue.. but LOL your way for following  See I need my big sis to help me still!!

Haven’t been on here in a few days well yes to be exact 4! days Ever seem to think that your stuck in a gerbil spinning wheel.. well that seems to be me day in and day out

I’m sure a lot of you know the daily activities of family life can be so repeatative that you almost have to have someone tell you what day it is from the next.

My husband has been off for 2 days and when he’s off for longer then One day he starts getting all freaked out about not working and making money and then it rubbs off on me and then I get all uptight and weirded out!! and it’s a crazy cycle of aggetation and me giving him dirty looks behind his back ….. Really is there anything you can do during the week with kids who have school and homework that doesn’t cost money!!! Not likely I am so tired of the local McDonald PlayLand and the Park that I want to scream…. Did I tell you that I love seeing My kids faces when I pick them up from school it’s such a great feeling !! Just thought I would add that in Yes my life isn’t all that Bad, but then their is the punching and fighting which I can see may only get worse and more bloody..

And anyone remember my little ordeal with the indoor play park “slide incident” that has left me with a hurting Tail bone and not able to sit on my Butt for so long without moving from cheek to cheek it has now been more then 3 weeks… WTF this is crazy…when is it gonna get better :( Ok looks like my time is up here people kids are screaming, One watching Sponge Bob and there is rice and food all over the floor shit what a mess… at least hubby made the food again tonight I guess he gets points for that ;D and I most post so more pics of my little monster carved the pumpkins yesterday and already they are looking like little old men!!! I tell you they just don’t last like they use to… 10 more days till HALLOWEEN PEOPLE tell me or post a pic of what your tots or babies are going to be have a good night xo

Another Sunday night

October 18, 2010 in CRAZINESS, KIDS, OUTTINGS & VACATIONS

I know it’s cruel but me and my husband also like to say to the kids ” Guess what guy” and they respond with a dull over exaggerated drown out “School tomorrow”… it that cruel or what :P .. so today decided to take the kids to church earlier then 12 o’clock we went @10:30 and they boys got to have a children’s thing down starts and I stayed with one boy upstairs seemed to work a lot better and just thought i would mention it seeing as the last few time were not so good.

Headed to Tim Horton’s which is a coffee shop real famous in Canada for all that read who don’t know , but got the kids some stuff donuts and what have you and went to take them to the bathroom to wash there hands after eating because they got their hands all sticky. so i was in the bathroom and I told my eldest son and the middle guy to watch the 4 yr old because they didn’t want to go into the washroom stall with me they said yes but when i got out they I asked them were the little guy went they had no clue ? I think he is in the washroom stall .. NO he isn’t were is he !!!! So after searching the washroom I went out side to the restaurant area and started to call his name and of course I paniced….. but then I saw him and He was standing outside the store waiting near the door like WTF.. . I was so mad and scared and yelled at him to tell me why he did that and i told him how bad it was and why he shouldn’t do that and i got mad at the other guys for not looking out for them and not paying attention and then well Who’s fault is it I tried to give them a little independance and it back fired on me… usuallly I take them all in the stall but i thought i would let them be distracted by washing their hands but that worked for 2 not all 3….

What would you have done? This was a 2 washroom stall washroom too, not big at all. but still i was scared when I didn’t see him in the store.. and what was up with all the people in the store who say him leave and saw us go into the washroom and didn’t say anything like ” Little boy wait for your mom”, Or ” No don’t go outside” what is up with people who keep their mouths quiet at the Right moments and like to voice their opinions at the wrong!!!! If i saw a kid going to leave the store.. and I saw them with their parents a moment ago , i would be No don’t leave stay here lets find them!!! but that’s me.!!!!

What to do !!

October 14, 2010 in CELEBRATIONS/HOLIDAYS, GENERAL, KIDS

Kinda bored today took the kids to school it was another rainy, glum day but well life does go on. Drove in the car to waste some time trying to look at all the second hand stores to try to find a Orange long sleeve t-shirt or hoodie for my sons Halloween costume but to no avail. Where either to big, to small, not warm enough for canadian weather! but i did find some orange makeup in a tube which i got for 1.99 which isn’t bad i guess!!

Saw these werewolf ears for my other sons costume but the lady at this small novelty and costume store wanted 16 bucks for them I was like ” Ah maybe I will pass on those”…. “But you can reuse them”, she said…. still Thanks but no thanks so in her eyes she made a 1.99 sale for that hour big wipe t do!  how do places like that stay open for goodness sakes :P

anyway so picked the rest of the kids up from school, and went to get Mary Brown’s which is a Chicken and Tater’s place like kFC but better :) and then we came home. Know like i said I am bored but still have so much to do . make the kids lunches, help with homework check do not do homework for them , make sure they eat something half decent and try to split of the fights along the night hopefully get them in bed before 9 and have time to watch Vampire Diaries which I have become addicted to . Not the best vampire show out there but the characters are good looking and there have been some twists that have been unexpected.

how do I get my 4 yr old to stop swearing any suggestions is it just a phase or what bcuz he seems to be picking up a lot of bad behaviour from his brothers…. leave me a post on what you did or are doing to curb those venom tongues and I will keep you posted on if i finally found a orange t-shirt for that costume remember my crayon its so cute i have to post that picture of it but first finish it okay have a great night …. kids stop swearing !!!!!!
