New Tree Ornament

Sissy always lays under our tree on the rug, even though she has a soft pink bed that she never uses.... well tonight she decided to climb up inside the middle branches. lol silly girl, with her around there's never a dull moment!
look at those pretty green eyes...

Sissy sitting in the tree! my new meow ornament

Her running out after I hollered at her ...

Squeak... the hamster has a visitor

Tanner got Squeak out to play with him for alittle while and they got and unexpected visitor.... Sissy kitty!

Lil Squeak.....and no thats not blood on the box! Its ink, this was and old ink cartridge box. lmao
Sissy having a look.
Tanner was panicing...I said what do u think poor Squeak was doing? probably having a heart attack. lol

She actually jumped in the box twice.
Here is Tanner taking her out after the 2nd time of jumping in

My Van is Like New Again!

My van is like new again!!! Yea

This our van torn apart to replace the head gaskets.
Holy Cow....Scott spent like 3 hours lastnight tearing it down and put it back together today for almost 7 hours, but he also tuned it up - plugs, wires, pcv valve, fuel filter, air filter, oil change and replaced sway bar links.
I went down around 11 and helped him do the sway bar links and then went and got our lunches.
The boys were at the library for the Saturday... Dual Card Club, for Yu-gi-oh and Magic The Gathering cards. They meet every Saturday at library from 11-2.

Cylinder heads and plenium off van
Block under the heads

Early Christmas

I ordered new curtains and 2 different beds in a bag for our bedroom, for my Christmas. There I go again thinking of the house again .....instead of me! lol

This is the before pic

My new blue curtains

My new bedspread, and skirt and I also put the pillow covers on our night stands.

closeup of the pattern & colors...I love the colors - browns & blues together.

Like the ole sayings.....

Like the ole saying goes...... A painter's house needs painted and a MECHANIC'S car needs worked on!!

This is so true right now. :(

My van needs the head gasket replaced - starting to leak, and we dont want to get caught broke down with it being so cold out, and while we have it tore down we are going to tune it up - easier to get to the back plugs and also change the sway bar links - those Caravans are known for head gaskets leaking and sway bar links going bad!!
Of course... had to be all right now with cold weather and Christmas time.
What a Bummer!!!!!!
Thank God, we have most of our Christmas bought.

So you know what we will be doing this weekend!

Drew's 6th Grade Science Fair

Drew did his Science Fair Project on Electric Fruit. He used an amp meter, copper nail and zinc nail to measure the amount of Electrical Charge in each Fruit.

He estimated the Lemon would, but actually the Lime did.

Race Track Kitty

Tanner decided to get out this old - new ( we bought for Drew for Christmas like 5 years ago and he really never played with it much) race track lastnight. It was in box in basement.

They kitty just watched them playing with it...checkout her head following the car.
I just love the smile on Tanners face here...
Video of Sissy - cat watching.....hilarious :)

Alittle Pampering

Yesterday I got alittle pampering.....I went got my nails done, 1st time ever and then went got a hair cut too.

Usually I think of everyone else but me! Mom is always the last to do anything for herself!!
Closeup of shooting stars airbrushing...

My Sleepy Babies

Princess (Sissy, as Scott calls her) is Scotts napping buddy. lol

For him not wanting or liking cats......he is always loving on her.

Love this pic....awww

Ultrasound & Mam Results

THANK GOD.....A little sigh of relief, I've been so worried all weekend!

The Dr. office called yesterday afternoon saying I have a Cyst. Want me to go back in 6 monthes for another mamogram and checkup.
I guess they can tell by the shape and fluid thats inside the cyst...whether its cancerous or not. ?? I hope they know what they are looking for!

Washed Cellphone....kids

Well.......I washed Tanner's cellphone! uughh
3rd time was the unfortunate charm. I've caught it twice when putting clothes in the washer. But not the 3rd time!
I didn't catch it til I put clothes in dryer and started it..... and heard thump thump. Still in his jean pocket! :(
So anyway its battery is off and both are in a bag of white rice. Several people have said this works! With my luck and going thru the whole wash rinse cycle it probably won't. He has my old non keyboard phone to use....but woul rather have keyboard for texting.

Does anyone have an old keyboard Verizon cellphone to give away or cell cheap?
