Love Leigh Things

WooHoo, sorta back!

I have been overwhelmed to say the least!  I will try to make this a quick catch up post, and then try to get back into the swing of blogworld in a few days!  I have missed it and you all sooooooo much!

Well, I knew I had been away too long when Bentley asked if I was on a writers strike, ummmm no dear monkee just crazy busy!

I want to say (a very late) Happy Mother's Day and a (late) well wish for Memorial Day!  You can blame my Mother's Day for part of the reason that I have not answered all of my emails!  More on that in a second!

I have almost got the whole house cleaned out.  One bathroom to go and the basement!  I took everything out of every room then cleaned and sorted it all!  I even did this with my kitchen, which had me running a little scared.

This was the least scary photo, most of the items are now gone!  It was a good timing because the postman had a food drive in middle of this cleaning and he racked up!

All of the carpets are nice and clean now!

I have to give hubby most of the credit.  He did the carpets and he is staining the decks!  One down and one to go!

This is just some of the piles that went to GoodWill!

I really was a lucky lady on Mother's Day! 

 

Meet Audrey, we have a love hate thing going on right now!  I can answer my phone now, score one for me!  Most of my time is spent trying to get take her battery out, where I have jammed her up.  My fault not hers.  Now for the great part!  I can check my email with her.  But, I managed to delete almost all of my emails, I thought I was saving them.  Not to mention that I did not know how to page forward so I only got a few lines, before they went to cyber heaven.   So, if you are owed an email please forgive me!  If you asked me anything that needs answering, could you resend it????  I do know that one email was from Laura, to answer the one question that I remember, I am 5'6". 

We did accomplish other things as well!  Boo finished confirmation class, yeah!  My boys informed me that they wanted a tougher curriculum for the upcoming year, so a quick trip to a homeschool fair was in order!  We have a great curriculum on order for fall!  Yes, it has kick mama's butt  great SAT scores written all over it, haha!

Of course, I would not be me without saying, I have more doctor appointments this week, on both Wednesday and Friday.   I will be visiting more soon!  I just needed to get my house in order, nesting to the umpteenth degree, haha!  I love you all!

More Great Mail and More Spring Cleaning......

I am one of the luckiest bloggers ever!  Thanks to blogland I have met three lovely princesses from across the pond!  If you don't believe me, I have proof, just look at the stamp on the package I received from them, teehee!

I am talking some serious goodies, in this package from the royal girls!  Just look!

I LOVE everything!  I was so excited, I almost wet myself! Please remember that I have had two children it can happen!) I was squealing!  WOOHOO!

Then for some total inspiration!  I know what you are thinking!  But, I will be able to do more than scarves one day, I will!

I was so perky at this point, I am pretty sure that hubby thought I needed to be sedated!

Oh yeah, my first ever English tea!!  Delicious!!  Uh Ah, ribbon bits, LOVE them too!!

Can there be more, you bet ya!  Needles and my weakness, babies!!  The red needles are gorgeous!  The smaller pack holds my first DPN's!  Yes, I am a little intimidated, but that has never stopped me!   

The larger of the two babies is a Little Schmoo, (I think I got that right!)  I  have wanted one since The Queen (aka Scarletti) made her first one!  I tried to convince her to sell her goodies, she is a total talent I tell ya!  So, I AM TOTALLY EXCITED TO HAVE ONE OF MY VERY OWN!!  The smaller of the two, is just perfectly adorable!  I have named her Dimity.  She has lavender in her from an English Garden!!!

With all of that being said, you must hear the rest of the story!  Yep, Bentley had to get involved!  Can you imagine?

Wait!  What is this?  No jealousy?  Instant love?  Hey monkee, what is up?  Oh, I get it!  He loves their accent!  It does not hurt that they are pretty girls that like hugs!

The very next morning they had to show him that they arrived the same way that he did

What a cute trio!

Now I have to tell you the best and the most horrible part of this story!  There were two more things in that package.  Bentley's and my favorite things to be precise!

He got this very own artwork card!

He even let us read it!

I am pretty sure this is one of the sweetest things that Bentley ever got in the mail (me too for that matter).   

All was great, until......

l got to read the second card!  It was for me too!  I was thrilled, more so than getting a bloggy-award-thrilled, I tell ya!  But, that brought up an issue!  Bentley refused to share.  He said that it was his, all his!

I am here to tell you that under that little primate hand it says Leigh, it does!  So now we battle!  I put the cards out for everyone to see, and he steals them.  I find them, put them out, he steals and hides them!  I will win! 

Rose, Saffron and Alice - Bentley and I thank you girls so much!  Your artwork is gorgeous!  We do love the cards and ya'll too. Charlotte, thank you for the goodies, offering your shoulders and being my psychic twin!  I am in our parallel universe giving you the biggest hug ever!

Let's see, is there a way to get Leigh to excercise more?  I do believe hubby found the way!

Isn't she gorgeous?

I have a white basket to go on her, that way YaYa and Bentley can go too.  But, I really want a wicker basket!  Yippee, thanks and love ya honey!  I hope I have time to ride on her this weekend!

Now for one of the scary parts of my life......

All of this, plus more not shown came out of Boo's closet!  I am still cleaning out the house.  It is going to take me longer than expected.  Please bear with me until Spring cleaning is over and I am back to blogland in force.  In case you are wondering.  We got his closet all cleaned out, nice and neat!

Leigh = Broken record.  I have more doctor appointments this week.  This sounds like last week.  I thought I would be through cleaning and having tests ran but I guess not.  I will be around soon though, love ya and thanks for putting up with me till this is over!
