Five Question Friday! 4/12/13

You'll hafta forgive me for not getting the sneak peek up in time...I've been working my fool head off with our friends to get ready for our wood floor installation today!! My back hurts, my arms hurt, my knuckles are all skinned up...I don't think I've worked this hard in a LONG time!



So, so, SO grateful for the amazing amounts of help we're getting from our friends, thanks L and D!!!

Anyway, I actually remembered to take before photos of this room redo...so stay tuned for the big reveal!

I'm going to go ahead and post this as soon as I'm done with it, since I didn't get the sneak peek up. Fer dumb.

Welcome to Five Question Friday!! You've come to the right place if you've discovered your muses are all wrapped up in flooring installation...or something! 

Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear Friday morning and LINK UP! 


Oh, and remember (pay close attention...this is the important one)...HAVE FUN!


Questions for Friday, April 12th: (Special thanks to Pam (@trooppetrie) from Troop Petrie, Tricia (@mamamarchand) from Mama Marchand's Nest, Melissa (@Melissa_M80) and
 little ol' moi for these 5QF question suggestions!

Remember to @5crookedhalos me and use hashtag #5QF if you go the Twitter route!)


1. Where do you hide things from your kids at?

2. What is your favorite rainy day activity for bored toddlers?

3. Are you a punctual person or are you always running a few minutes (or more!) late??

4. When eating out, do you prefer off the beaten path "Mom and Pop" cafes or tried and true national food chains?

5. Does your significant other snore? Do YOU snore?

-----------------------------------


1. Where do you hide things from your kids at?

Typically somewhere in a closet. Christmas presents get hidden all over the place, wherever we can find extra room!

I think I need to find a special place for a stash of chocolate for myself...that sounds like a fabulous idea to me.

Suggestions for hiding places?

2. What is your favorite rainy day activity for bored toddlers?

Oh boy. Let's see...a game of memory? Or, WAIT...reading books. Love snuggling up with a pile of good books, but that doesn't always last as long as I'd like...

Hmmm...one recent "discovery" of mine is watercolors...the kiddos love them, they aren't horribly messy (I'm looking at YOU PlayDoh) and the kids get to exercise their inner artiste!

But then I never know what to DO with all of their masterpieces...

3. Are you a punctual person or are you always running a few minutes (or more!) late??

Unfortunately, the latter. Many minutes late and YES I hate it, but we just can never seem to get our act together and get somewhere on time.

We've been trying to get better at it...and, on the flip side, it's turned our teenager into an anal retentive "on time" person.

See? We did something right in our parenting! ;)

4. When eating out, do you prefer off the beaten path "Mom and Pop" cafes or tried and true national food chains?

We are totally a divided house on this one...hubs prefers the mom and pop's...they kind skeeve me out a bit, you know? Like, I dunno if Cousin Jimmy, who suffers from a terrible habit of not washing his hands after he goes to the bathroom, is the cook.

And that's hard for me to swallow.

Literally.

Plus, I just like the comfort of knowing a restaurant has been deemed good enough that it's seen success across the nation. There's comfort in that, you know? 

5. Does your significant other snore? Do YOU snore?

Oh, gracious. Does. He. Ever.

I should enter him in a snoring contest.

No, scratch that, I should totally enter him a sleep study and find out how many times he quits breathing every night. I listen, and it doesn't sound like he quits breathing, but WOW IS HIS SNORING LOUD!!!

Funny story, with my last pregnancy, I had a horrible cold, as I was dozing off, my hubby awoke me with his snoring, so I put my frozen feet on him (like usual) to get him to roll over. He rolls over, grumbles a bit, then I start to doze off again and am, once again, awoken by his snoring.

But something is different and I realize OH MAH GAW, that hideous noise was coming from ME! From me?! UGH, yes, from me.

It was awful. I kept that discovery to myself for awhile before I shared it.

Thank goodness that was the one and only time I have ever snored thankyouverymuch. Ahem.

---------------------------------------

Off to bed I go (I'm typing this at 12:30 AM!!)...big day tomorrow!

  1. I don't typically snore but I have woke myself up snoring when sick. I am telling you that sleep study saved my marriage. I actually have friends who sleep in a different room because of snoring.

  11. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids.

    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
    daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the
    shell to her ear and screamed. There was a
    hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go
    back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  13. Can I just say that after finding Blogger: My Little Life on Website Baker, what a relief to uncover someone who seriously knows what they're writing about when it comes to this. You definitely grasp how to bring a problem to light and make it crucial. A lot more people have got to look at this and understand this side of the story. It's surprising you're not more widespread, since you most truly possess the gift.

    widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  24. Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to be
    aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while
    people think about worries that they just do not know about.

    You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without
    having side-effects , people could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized!
