Some pics of my babies..

Poor baby...the dentist said as soon as he loses his eye teeth braces are in his future within the year..bless his heart....







Actually they are not babies anymore...sniff sniff...Melana thinks she is grown. She has changed so much over the last year and has lost almost all her baby features...Mason on the other hand lost them along time ago but i have been in denial...

New etsy stuff




Ole Miss skirts coming soon with matching shirts....fun stuff...lots of orders for that right now. I am swimming in blue and red :)



Layout using the Dear Santa kit from Noel Mignon
Sorry sold out...
You can go here to see the challenge and the full layout.

The journaling is on the back and basically is a conversation her and i had. She wanted to know if she has been good this year and i said i don't know you will need to ask santa and she said well mom...hmm....and i could see the wheels spinning and she said define good to me...LMAO....so i said well good is when you listen the first time, clean your room up so i don't have things jabbing me in the foot everytime i go in it and the main thing is doing good and school and listening..then she busted out in tears and said...i guess i haven't been good then...bless her heart...she does good in school and that is about it....so the next day i come home and i am cooking and i see the windex and paper towels sitting out...i put it up and she comes back in and says she needs to clean the windows and glass doors so santa can see she keeps a clean house.... key word..SHE keeps a clean house....good grief... i plan on embroidering some shirts for sale in the etsy shop that says " Dear Santa, Define Good XO, "insert childs name" and whatever the kids name is that the parents order...fun right? Probably too late but i will jot that down for next year to do...

So much to do so little time.
What's been going on with everyone else?

Pics of Gustav

So when the winds slacked up a bit oneil and i decided we would go out and assess what was going on with the bay...our rental house is close to the water and we wanted to see how far the water was up. he has to report to the command center tonight at 6p (for those of you that don't know he is an investigator with the sheriff's office). here are some of the pics i was able to get

this pic is from the people who use to rent my house while building their massive house back on the ater that they lost in katrina...thi is the back bay rolling it.
her husband is handicap and so that is the handicap ramp they built for him to get out to their pier

this is some boat lifts that are pretty much close to being fully underwater. they are on the canal from the back bay

this is the pier out from said renters house you can see the roof and that is about it. which means the back bay is at about 20+ feet high right now and we haven't even made it to high tide yet. it will be safe to say that until this hurricane passes you won't be able to see the pier.

this is the retaining wall they built and they have appox a foot before the water goes over it...the bottom foor of their house those is a pool. the actual house doesn't start until another 5 feet up in the air so it will be safe to say i doubt they flood.

that is someones fence in their backyard that backs up to the back bay. They are next door to my old renters house. they do sit a little bit lower than my old renters...don't cha think?

this is water from the causeway bridge. you can't even see the bridge it is completely submerged in water. the next shot is an upclose but really all you can see is water...i might have a pic of what it should look like...i'll have to see

close up of the casueway bridge or lack there of right now :)

for more pics taken from various people who stayed you can click to our local news stations website here for the photo gallery.

i do know right now that the beach is flooding bad and so is the area with all the casino's and what we call "the point". But i am high and dry..so no worries.
I know i will be a busy bitch assessing damage come wednesday.
