Birthday's and Christmas

So I asked the girls what they would like there birthday party's to be.

Leslie said that she wanted a 'spy" birthday party. so looked up idea's online, copied them now have 22 pages to read to plan a party . My favorite one was a James Bond themed one! not quite sure if its for a almost 11 Year Old! one of the ideas was to make Id badges take a pic when they come in and at the end give it to them with the goodie bags! I know that her birthday is not tell Jan 12. but with Christmas 3 weeks before and Emily's birthday 4 days after Christmas Ineed to plan and order things now!

Emily after her Birthday last year wanted a Ladybug party! she is turning 5 this year! so we are looking at cakes and cupcakes I might be able to make the cupcakes but the cakes we saw and liked now way could I do, going to check out cake shops and see how much a cool ladybug cake would be.

I fell like I am behind in the Christmas shopping! for the last two years I have been done with most of the gift getting, it also helped that brad was deployed and came home about this time so the extra money helped alot! This year Leslie Mom is now at the same base we are at and it's her year for Christmas with Leslie so we are not too sure how it will work out, we have kinda talked about us having her Christmas eve and her Mom having her Christmas day, but not real sure what's going on yet! I would like to know before the end of OCT. but I am sure that is not going to be everyone plan.

Elizabeth Taylor ~block of the month Quilters Market

The girls being funny! for got to flip the pic around before posting it,

the block of the month from the Quilters Market this one is called Elizabeth Taylor liked how it turned out, like the real one a little better the points are much better.

Crossroads and Sisters

well I did it again , went in to Bella's to pick up the new row of the month and there is only one month to go before it is finished!

they showed the new bock of the month its called sisters. loved it, so singed up for it. this one starts in Oct. Next time I go in to Bella's I will take a pic and post it.

then I asked about one of the other Quilt classes that they had Crossroads. its one I wanted to do but it was on our Anniversary so did not do it. they had two more class dates set up for it and so i put my name down for it also. this one is in Nov. and only a 3 or 4 hour class.

SNCO Induction Ceremony

On our 6th Anniversary Brad had the SNCO Induction Ceremony , so we spent our Anniversary there.

Nook or Kindle and bike baskets

while at Barnes and Noble the other night. I was looking at the Nook ! kinda liked it. now that i am thinking of getting one what one is better? the kindle or the Nook. I like the idea of having some thing so light to have with me at all times and being able to finish a book and start a new one right away!
well it is a idea of what i would like for Christmas. I have heard that there might be some newer ones coming out later this year or next month so waiting for Christmas would be a good thing.


the other thing I would like is a Basket for my bike! one like in Murder She Wrote! I think it would be great! so when I do get motivate i could ride my bike to the commissary and pick some some thing I might have forgotten. or when the girls and I go for a ride we could stop at the park and i could have a book with me, or the Nook if i get one by then. I am sure that brad and the girls would think i am a dork for wanting a basket but I do!

well I am up way to late and I am sure that I am rambling now. so night all. and I should put up a new quilt block later on picked up the new one from the Quilters market and finished it Saturday shortly after getting home. then this sat. will be going to Bella's Quilts and getting the new row!
