Ali Edwards Challenge!

Monday, September 29, 2008





I realized it has been forever since I have posted a new entry. I really enjoy reading my fellow bloggers posts, to me it feels like if you haven't talk in over a month you still totally know what has gone on in their lives and can just pick up where you left off. For me I struggle with the journel aspect of blogs. Those that know me well know that grammer and spelling are not my favorites. (Please feel free to correct me It doesn't bother me!) Anyways to my point! I caught Chris last night looking at my very old and non updated blog. He actually commented that he enjoyed reading it. So I thought I would take ALi Edwards up on her challenge for the week( if anyone wants to join me please do) http://aliedwards.typepad.com

Challenge: documenting a week in your life I well be trying to take photo's of what my week/days look like and scrapebook them and hopefully post some as well. I hope everyone enjoys getting a little inside scoop of my life. I think some of it well surprise you. Here I go.
First surprise. This is what my kitchen looked like when I woke up ( i should say still looks like I took the picture and choose to update my blog instead of tackling the kitchen). I wake up in the morning to Chris's alarm clock blarning off station to some hard rock song( the alarm clock is set 11 mins faster than the real time so he always hits snooze, why not have it on real time and hit snooze? I can never really understand his logic, he always stands at the clock at night trying to figure out what time to set it and calculates the difference etc) Anyways normally the kids wake me up but today was a change and I was able to arise and make a cup of coffee and enjoy a few sips before yelling up the stairs at Kanaan to get up. Breakfest is made, lunch it packed and than it is time for school. Everymorning Kanaan asks me to get him a pair of socks. Why can't he you ask. Well take a look at the bottem drawer of the dryer. If there is one thing I can't stand that is matching socks. So every morning we fight as to who should get his socks and I always lose beacause the bus is coming and he needs to get out the door. I always have to send him off at the back door with a hug and kiss and " Have a good Day" . That was my morning. Now I guess I should acknowledge my other child Mya. I gave her some milk and set her in front of the tv. Maybe breakfest might be nice.

I will see how long I can doc. the day and life of Denise Renee Krahn. Enjoy!

My last creation. I have been in the need of some new end tables.( since a certian someone shattered one of mine). Money isn't flowing out of our pockets so I decided to look around and found a couple of end tables that have good shapes to them and re finished them. Pottery Barn end tables for $350. just don't work in this house.

So anyways here is the before and after of my salvation army find.( actually mel found them and I jewed them down to $10/each)

My baby is turning 7!

Kids say the cuties thing!

Thursday, January 24, 2008

I'm sure that we all have great stories of our kiddies saying the cutiest things but I just have to share with you Mya's saying of the day.

Do you remember scratch and sniff. Well I came across a valentines book at chapters that is scratch and sniff and I couln't just leave it their so I purchsed it.

I haven't seen scratch and sniff forever. Anyways I brought it home and I think that Chris and I had more fun with it than the kids. It brought back memmories and the smell is still the same. TO funny.

Anyways I was reading the book with the kids tonight and we were scratching and sniff and halfway through the book mya asks "can I itche it this time" .
To cute!!!

My Mother's favorite saying: Now Mine Also!!!!!!

I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect, for I shall not pass this way again.
