Oh my negleted blog

I have been so incredibly busy since school started. I thought I would actually have more time on my hands. Boy was I mistaken. I seem to still have just as much to do and more. I have to try and fit all my errands into a small window of time before I pick everyone up from school, then make dinner, go to soccer and got o work...wha?? yes, I've been working so much more which yes is a blessing because I love what I do but, that leaves almost no time to blog.
 I did take first day of school pics and even recorded a little video but haven't had time to do the editing. I'll try to get those done tonight and post them later. Now that face painting has slightly slowed a bit I should be able to get caught up here.
I hope to have at least 2 new posts this week for you. Thanks for hangin' in there with me.

Love and busy days,
Shawna

School is almost here

 This summer was a busy one. I barely had a minute to blog..boooo. As you may or may not know I've been face painting up a storm this summer so, my weekends have been jam packed. We also moved at the begining of the summer which sucked and by the way I still have 6 unpacked boxes and no more room for anything!!!
 The kids will now be in better schools and my little princess will be starting Transitional Kindergarten!!! AHHHH!! When did she get to be so big.....booooo times two. I have begun the process of getting them ready, shopping for supplies, clothes, shoes and here comes the fun part.....accessories!! WHOO HOO!! You all know how much I love to make fun, girlie stuff. I started making my princess a few hair clips and a fancy new bracelet, which I think she may need a few more. I mean a girls gotta have options especially considering she'll be wearing a uniform(I think)...bleh. That's no fun! So we have to jaz it up a bit with cute accessories...Here is some of what I've been working on....

 I made a princess bracelet too but haven't had a chance to take a pic yet. I will when the sun is out. She has bows to match each of these OMG!! so cute!

Josh's 12th Birthday

Yesterday was Josh's twelveth birthday. Although we promised to have a beach party for him later this summer, we could'nt just let the day go by without doing something fun. Here's a little slideshow video I put together showing you how we spent our day....Enjoy.

Getting my face painted

After painting a bunch of kiddos today I got to come home and get MY face pained by my princess...Like mother like daughter. I let her use a $5.00 eyeshadow compact from Wet n Wild. I really liked that one too.What was I thinking..oh well, good thing it wasn't Christian Dior LOL!

Face painting my little Princess

This is what we do on a daily basis now. It was all fun and games when we first started but, after a while face painting gets old so, I now have to trick my princess into being my little model. I tell her that we're going to surprise Nana with a new face painting, then we go next door and show off her cuteness and she loves it.
 Today she was Tinkerbell, Yesterday she was a flamingo who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Scottie Dog love

I snapped this pic late one night when my Princess fell asleep with Sunday. She loves wearing her Scottie Dog hair clippies now that she has her own little Scottie dog...mix that is.

A writing celebration

Instead of a traditional holiday party at school my son's first grade teacher decided to have a writing celebration. Each child wrote and illustrated their own story then, parents were invited to come in and each child took their story around and read to all of the adults.
 They were all so proud and excited to read their stories. They didn't even realize that they were missing out on a day of no school work and eating tons of junk...we'll save that for next year ; )
Here's a little video of my son reading me his story...
