Reply,

Oh Kiki as I read your crazy story all I could think, between laughs, was this only would happen to you and of course it was Lou that it happened to. That Lou what a silly man!
How I have missed reading about your funny life in small town USA. You make me feel so boring :)
Life has been busy here getting ready for 2 weeks with Gma! I am so that person that packs a week in advance because I want to make sure I have everything and there aren't last minute loads of laundry to do. So yes, my kids have been wearing the same clothes for the last 2 days so I don't have to do laundry. See I am that mom! I did just say kids...a new addition to the blog is five. You think huh what a random, different nickname to have considering he is only baby #2. I know believe me, but the number 5 is THE number in the B family and our little man will carry it on as he is in all kinds of sports. So yes he will be called five.
All that to say, I am still trying to craft as much as possible in this crazy time of life. Sadly that is not as much as I would like. I have so many crafts partly done because I find time to do one here and there between napping kids, trying to stay awake at night, and when I don't feel guilty that maybe I should be cooking dinner or cleaning some room.
I did just accomplished making the cutest DIY ornament out of buttons! I found it on Pinterest. Rant: Have I told you how much I love Pinterest?! It is the best thing EVER! I have so many pins and way too little time to make them. But oh to dream about the day that that one pin may be completed! As mom would say, "I'm dreaming in color." I am happy to say I have made many pins and loved each and every one. Done. Okay back to the ornament. Kiki, so stinking simple and your monsters would love to help sort out the buttons to find the right ones. here is the blog that shows you how to make them. I honestly love how they turned out and hello, I spent .89cents on embroidery thread because I already had buttons. SCORE! However, my computer is being lame and I can't show you my picture. boo! Have I told you technology doesn't like me?
Check the blog out! I seriously think it is the best ornament. I made 2 for friends and they loved them! Alright I need to go to sleep considering five will be waking up in probably 2 hours...which means more pinning for me hehehe
Love you Kiki and can't wait to see you in 3 days!!!
