I'm still alive...

Yep...still alive.  This babysitting gig is so special.  Yes, I get tired...Some days Samantha's scheduling of clients runs over the usual 6–7-hour day.  Monday through Thursday's it's usually 9-4pm with Fridays being light, 9 to 12.  She's still waiting to hear from the daycare, but I believe it'll be a long wait.  Oh well...I'm really getting attached!  If much longer, it'll be too hard to let her go.  Oh well, will just have to deal with it.



Our Sweetie Sloane



Halloween suit


Our daughter Crystal, and Baby Slone's grandmother (Lolli)



Sloane was Three months old as of yesterday... Teething has begun!


A sheet pan lunch I made yesterday.  Potatoes, bell pepper, yellow squash, onion and chicken thighs.  It was really good.  You can add whatever you like...


This was an ornament I was going to order at one of those online stores...$17.00 each...When I went to check out, it showed $81 dollars!!!  NO WAY...so I took a screenshot of it and backed out.  Talk about thieves!   I wonder how many people never looked at the bottom line and got "took"!


Made some Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies...


Here's the plating of our pan lunch...yum.


Hubby (Larry) is really enjoying his laser.  I asked him to make me some ornaments for the tree...he did...!!Lolol  I especially wanted two for our dogs, Buddy and Libby.

Hope you all are enjoying your week...I'll be around to check on you in a bit!  Be safe out there...
Hugs from

Sloane is a cutie. Glad you are enjoying the time watching her. Take care and have a wonderful day.

Oooh, that baby is SWEET! I'm sure you love having her at your place to spoil her. I suppose that will keep you moving. Hahaha! Go check out ETSY for a photo ornament. I'm sure you can get something nice for a whole lot less than $81! I've always had really good luck on Etsy.

Oh Sloane, you have the sweetest smile. That's a cute picture of grandma and baby. Your roasted pan filled with chicken and veggies looks delicious. I make dishes like this all the time. Just put in what we have, right? That is a cute ornament, but for $81, I would pass on it too. Your oatmeal chocolate chip cookies look so Yummy. My father-in-law made the best oatmeal raisin cookies, and I really miss them. Those are cool ornament that your husband made with the laser. Have a happy Thanksgiving, Donna. : )

That little Miss Sloane Avery, could she be any cuter, sweeter, beautiful? I think not! And Lolli looks to be in heaven. I remember when Britt was born, my mom took hundreds of videos! :)

Now I'm hungry - your food always looks to good.

Sloane is the cutest baby. I love them at this age.

Ann said...

Aww, Sloane is adorable.
Love the ornaments that Larry is making. I've heard those laser cutters are really impressive. $81 dollars for that other one is crazy.

That baby is so darn cute.
Choc chip oatmeal are my fav cookies.
I was just talking to a friend today who got snagged on a similar online situation.

Hi Donna! Sloan is just adorable. I'm glad you're enjoying your time with her, and I can understand being tired. :)
Larry is doing very nice work!

The meals are looking delicious too.
Take care.

Sloan is so precious! What a little cutie!! Shame on that ornament company! What a rip off and how many people fell for it! Good to hear from you my friend!

What a sweet, sweet baby. I had my daughter's babies a lot when they were little and up until they went to school. I enjoyed every minute of it but it can tire you out. Your daughter and baby are both beautiful! Crazy about that ornament company. They can stick you sometimes and you are stuck!
Have a wonderful weekend- xo Diana
