Homemade Cleaners........

I just recently started cleaning with white vinegar. I read online somewhere that u can use it for pretty much anything. It makes my house smell soooo clean. Not like vinegar but fresh smelling. Another good thing about using vinegar is Trenton can help me clean and I dont have to worry about him inhaling it or tasting it or getting it in his eyes and burning them. He loves to help me clean but it is hard to let him help becuase of theese reasons. So today...... I poured Vinegar on my kitchen floor and let Trenton skate all over my kitchen with his socks on. LOL. He had a blast and now my kitchen floor is sparklely clean!!!!! I got some laundry folded as well. He also washed my kitchen cupboards down for me. I gave him a spray bottle full of white vinegar. He sprayed and wiped, sparyed and wiped. He had LOTS of fun!!!!! So........I did some research and there are lots of children friendly cleaners
such as:
Club Soda
Fresh Lemon Juice
Baking Soda
Toothpaste
veg oil ( for those hardwood floors)
SO I guess i have a shopping list to make, LOL
Just be sure to ventilate well. Even some of theese items can cause blurriness ect

Pictures.....

We went and got the boys pictures done today at walmart. YAY! I cant wait to get them back!!!! They turned out nice. Ecspecially Trentons.
Carter needed a haircut and I have been sooo busy that I totally had forgotten all about it. SO I tried cutting it by myself.. Boy did that look terrible! SO DOn got out the trimmers and buzzed his hair on the highest setting. It looks pretty good. Ill have to share pics tomarro becuase I dont have time to post them. He looks JUST LIKE my brother Frank. Its hilarious.
While we were at walmart...I ended up picking up some stuff to use as cake toppers for Carters bday cake. I ended up getting a few trains from Thomas the Train. I also let the boys each pick out a pair of Pajamas...Carter of course picked out Thomas and Trenton surprised me with Diego. I thought for sure that he would pick Spiderman..like he always does.
We didnt even get to celebrate ST Pattys day the last 2 days. Ive been sooooo busy. So I am going to wing it and celebrate on tuesday. Its my day off, and the kids will never know the difference anyways. I had tons of fun stuff planned and didnt get to any of it. I cant wait until Tuesday!

Yesterday...Friday !6th

Yesterday we made ST Pattys bears for Gramma. Trenton also pinned Carter and Blew raspberries on his belly. LOL

Theese are the kids St Pattys Bears. They are sooo cute! We hung them on Grammas fridge.

OK...here I am again.

LOL. I am such a dizz. I really dont like Weblog.. So Here I am back to Blogger...LOL. NOW I can post some pics without having to resize them.
Well let me start off my fresh new blog with an update. I didnt erase the other one.....simply becuase it has many memories on it. Second....the reason I got a new blog...obviously somone has tracked me and found my blog. They were leaving very rude comments about my sister and that alot of what happened was her fault. SHe has been reading my blog and I didnt need her to be reading that. SO here it is ....MY BRAND NEW BLOG!!!! I dont really like the colors. I wonder if I can change that. Too bad they didnt have a "PIMP MY BLOG" site. That would be great!The kids have been doing great! I have been homeschooling and they have been learning. And although Trenton DOES NOT TALK YET....(grrrrr). I know he is learning and having fun doing it. We have been cooking/baking, reading and coloring, doing lots of crafts, pretend playing, playing games, singing songs ect. They have been having a blast and I been having fun doing it with them!!! Its great!!!I have been workin and cleaning and teaching the kids, I have been sooooo busy its crazy. I have been trying to lose weight. Its not working. SUCKS. I have been irritated with our home. So many things need to be done to it. I have been really depresssed latley and that sucks as well.Don is getting a motorcycle. Just what he needs. He goes and picks it up next thurs or fri. Its a nice bike. Nothin he needs though. A 2007 Honda Shadow....1100 cc. Here it is, his Bike...It has a nice little red tag on it though that says "SOLD". I want a few things. I never get anything. I get the bills...nothin ever for myself. I wouls like the new Chocolate Verizon Phone, or a new Ipod or a new computer. I REALLY need a new computer. This one is full of viruses and dont work worth a crap!!!!! I might have to just get a new computer in May.I havent had no time for scrapbooking. Even though I REALLY want too!!! Actually it is all still packed up!!!!! The room that is suppose to be my scraproom.....has a rotted floor in it. GO FIGURE.
