The weekend...monkeys, and a project!!

Had a very good weekend! I got to spend it with the grandkids, Tami and Brian. 

Love this pic of them!! I have always called them "my little Monkeys!!"

Sara was sick, and the kids didn't want to catch the flu... the really yucky one where your tummy isn't just upset, but Sara said she had some REALLY BAD pains! 

So they got to come and spend time with NaNa!! I loved every insane minute!!

  PaPa brought home pizza for supper. 

I had called it in, and order double meat on our Taco & Supreme Pizzas, he brought them in and handed them to me, saying "feel these!"

 O MY, they were HEAVY!!! 

But boy oh boy, hubby usually eats three to four pieces, lol, he ate his one, and what was left of Brian's... AND was STUFFED!!! lol. 

I ate one!!!  

Brian didn't even eat a full half of one lol. (Course he is the picky eater around here lol) 

We stayed up late, played wii, and eat a bit of junk food, Brian more than the rest of us... lol, wouldn't have anything to do with the idea, he didn't eat much dinner??? 

They went to bed about 11 pm. I stayed awake to make sure they were sound asleep... reading my book, and before I knew it was 2 am lol. 

Hubby was a reaaaalll sweetie, he let me sleep in til 10 this morn. The kids didn't wake up til 9:30!!! And mom calls to see how they are doing at 8 this morn, told her still sleeping!! She told me they "NEVER" sleep late for her... (Grandma privilege :D ) 

         We had another fun day today... played Curious George Uno... which everyone had a chance at winning... and losing. :D 

Then we played old maid!! Which was hilarious!!

 Brian thought he was winning cause he had the lucky card!! Til Tami took it away, and found out that it was actually the unlucky card!! 

I just love to watch them when they figure out how things are what they thought... 

he was doing what he called the "Lucky dance, when Tami got it!! 

Well, needless to say... NaNa ended up being the one to lose.... being as she is "OLD' already... they both thought that was pretty fitting lol. :D 

Love it when we have a good day with no fighting!!

Here is my candler...

I got it a few years ago for Christmas from my mom.

It was being neglected in the basement.

I had found it the other day and was wondering what to do with it...

I thought when I got it I would put it outside,

but today after the kids went home, 

I thought it would look great above my dining room table!

I added the crystals, of all different sizes and shapes.

Added red ones to make it stand out... 

and used some of my grandmothers beads to string together, 

and made some chains.

Took some old candle votive and added the bigger ones,,,

which I found on a jaunt to my daughters in CA.

Got about 50 of these clear ones for $7.00!!

(Score!!!) 

Can't wait to fire it up!!

I love it!!!! Awesome!!!

Hoping tomorrow will be a more productive day...

Some more organizing!! lol

Pictures included!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
