Alisha's Randomness tag

I was tagged here and here so I figured I should do it! :)

List 7 Random things about yourself then tag 5 or don't tag 5, doesn't matter to me! But FYI I like to read these random tags so let's keep it going :)

1. When it comes to my bed there are ALOT of things that have to happen: Has to be made EVERYDAY, even if it gets made 2 minutes before I go to bed (which usually NEVER happens!) I will make it, then crawl in. Troy CAN NOT lay on my pillow. Something about the smell of 'boy' on my pillow grosses me out. The simple 'smell' test will help me verify who's pillow is who's if they get mixed up while in the process of making. I do NOT share my blanket! Ask Troy...I DON'T SHARE IT....not even a corner. I often get really protective of it when I see Taylor wrapped up in it or want to play 'fort' with it. Just doesn't happen! I change out blankets in both cases.

2. I hate the sound of people chewing. Is it mean of me to say sometimes when Taylor is chewing it drives me CRAZY (c'mon she's two, she can't help it!) But the loud chomping & swallowing of food is just gross.

3. I use to be deathly (and I mean DEATHLY) afraid of my basement at my parents house. My brothers were very destructive and pretty much tore the place apart, so it was always an unfinished storage room. The only time I would go downstairs was to use the laundry room. I would turn on EVERY light then when I was going back up I would RUN the entire way up (skipping two or three stairs at a time)like my butt was on fire just to get up as quickly as I possibly could!

4. ALL toys need to be put away before I go to bed. The other night I was down sewing and Troy put Taylor to bed. When I came up stairs I cleaned up all the toys in the living room, but when I woke up the next morning her room had NOT been picked up....that was the first thing I did when I got out of bed (except maybe feed Parker!)

5. When Troy and I are watching tv together in our room, I HAVE to run the remote. It stresses me out not having the remote. Have no clue why I stress over it, it just does....and he knows it! If you know Troy, you know he is a tease.

6. Toilet seats and shower curtains have to be CLOSED completely! I go crazy if one of them is open. It also bothers me when I go to others houses and the shower curtain is open or the toilet seat was up (especially in the 'boy' position!) Can you imagine the craziness that goes through my head in public restrooms where there isn't a top lid!?!?!? I also have to ALWAYS keep the back bathroom door shut, not only to keep Taylor out, but because Troy uses that bathroom and always leaves the seat up.....aaaahhhhhh!

7. I got in trouble with the cops twice while growing up 1) tipping over porta potties at the high school that was being built at the time....it was sooooo gross when the cops made us go and tip it back over! 2) Climbing on top of Lee's furniture and throwing carrots at cars. Okay duh....Lee's is RIGHT across the street from the Police Dept.! So much fun! And you know who you are that had the idea! :) Ah good times!

Craft Tag

I was tagged by Sarah to post what crafts I have done lately.

Let's see...
First I made 10 bows (okay 20-ish counting them as pairs) for my giveaway I had on AJ's Bow-tique


I have also made these 4 cute dresses for a friend plus bows to match:



I found some time to make this dress


Finished Taylor's Halloween outfit (She is going to be Goldilocks...to see more pics check out AJ's Bow-tique and appropriately Parker is going to be Baby Bear)


Last but not least, I made these Halloween "BOO" letters.


:) Maybe that is why this morning when we were getting ready none of my children had clean pants to wear, Parker had no clean white socks and I had to dig for a pair of pants to squeeze into and my towels were starting to slowly take over my house?!?!?

I now tag: Nikkala, Gina & Brecca

Picture Tag

I have seen this on alot of others blogs and thought I would do it too :)

The rules: No cleaning!!!!! That is it, I want to see how you really live! And you must tag 5 people back. Here we go! And please don't judge.

1. Closet




The sad thing about how full my side of the closet is, is that I only wear a handful of the shirts! I am still a little uncomfortable with some of my 'tighter' shirts that I only wear my loose ones. You can also see that I stash alot of things on top of the 'dresser' inside the closet. To the far right is a pile of maternity clothes that needs to be put away...only 4 months late!
Of all the slots for the shoes, Troy only has 3 of them...the rest are jammed full of just mine :)

2. Kitchen Sink


I am super lazy when it comes to my pots, you will usually find one (if not more) in my sink at all times. They have to be hand washed and then that little effort to dry and put them away is just too much for me! :) So I wash them, then turn them upside down to 'signal' they are clean and let them air dry. I don't see the point when I usually have to get it out again for lunch or dinner the next day....

3. Toilet


Can you tell who used the toilet last?!!?!??!

4. Laundry Room


I hate where my laundry room is located...right at the back door so any one that comes to it (which is almost EVERYONE!) sees it! Love, love, love the big washing sink-but hate that stuff gets piled on it...right now it's all of Troy's paintball stuff that he hasn't put away since Labor Day weekend. Please ignore the leotards drying atop the washer (Taylor starts gymnastics on Tuesday!) and the bag and box of clothes that are waiting to go to D.I.

5. Pets/Kids



Love my two kids. Both these pics are from today. Taylor is in a dancing kick and wears her two tutus around the house all day...everyday!
Also have a dog Takoda. She's not allowed inside....ever. She is okay, if she pooped in the yard causing me to have to clean it up before the kiddos can play outside I would definitely give her the boot, but she taught herself to do her business in the field so I am good. She's also good to bark and let us know if someone is at the house.

6. Place you want to go


Wouldn't this be nice?!?!?

7. Fridge


I HATE cleaning the fridge. That is why it is so full!

8. Self Portrait


The most recent picture of JUST myself is when I was 9 months preggo. My last pregnancy photo shoot taken with Little Parker T!

9. Favorite Room


That would be hands down our bedroom. It has our nice comfy bed, tv, TiVo (LOVE IT!), my laptop and usually my blue blanket-but it was in the wash, and usually two little ones lounging there right with me. If I am not in Parker's room feeding him, you will most likely find me in our room!

10. Favorite Shoes


These comfy flip flops from Target. I bought the brown ones first, loved them so much that I had to get a black pair too. Don't know what I will do when they fall apart and I will have to replace them!

I tag: Gina, Jenni, Emily, Melissa (you know you love it!), Jakobi
