Fun with our Phones/Day 13

So I spent Sunday night catching up on all of your emails over the past week... thanks for spreading the love :)
Now if only I could get caught up again on my google reader... I so miss your blogs!!!  Planning on making time for that Tuesday and Wednesday night.

I also spent the night working on my binder/planner.  I have seen a lot of you creating your own "Life Binders", and I thought it was a great idea!  Mine is def a work in progress, and I can't wait to have it functional.  I will let you all in on a peek in another post... super excited about this!

Now onto the photos!

Kate at Dancing in the Minefields posted this last weekend, and I knew that I could adapt this to work with my 2yr old nephew.  He didn't so much like having his hand traced, but it was a lot of fun to do Tues night before dinner.  I wrote the name of everyone in our immediate family on my mom's side, and something fun we did with him.  I made 2, so there could be one at my moms and one at my sisters, and everyone loved it!
Here are some step by steps, then photos I tried to take of him later:

And the dinner shot, and I needed proof he was actually eating meat and drinking milk... 2 things we are struggling to get him to do :)















This is what I woke up to Wednesday Morning... I promise he was in a good mood!

















 

So Friday night was Veteran's Day, and we did an awesome benefit with Guitars for Veterans where I work weekends, so I bartended the night.  Basically, we had 3 musical acts that the vets would like, and admission was free for the them.  For everyone else, it was $10/person, or the donation of a new or gently used guitar.  These will then be used for music lesson/music therapy for the vets.  It was so much fun!











Saturday night was my friend's birthday party... I had so much fun getting ready, and actually curled my hair for the first time on my own, which required purchasing a curling iron for the first time.  I used a tutorial from Ashley, and it was so easy!  J loved it, and I will def be making it part of my getting ready routine :)



















(Don't mind my blurry self portrait... I hate taking self pics!)

And finally, I got these on Sunday from my gram.  My grandpa passed away 5yrs ago in a fire, and I thought these were in the house with him.  I was so surprised and excited to get these from her... they mean a lot :)







Can't wait to see what you ladies have been up to this week!!!  Go link up with Savanah!!!
