My Mothers Day didn't quite turn out the way I had wanted it to but I ended up having time to myself for over 4 hours... so yes that was a wonderful gift!
My hubby took the boys to his moms for lunch, I stayed home cranky.
I ran him to work later and his mom decided to keep the boys over there for 2 more hours cause they were having fun playing with their cousins.
So whats a mommy to do, especially one whose feelin' down in the dumps on Mom's Day?
Go SHOPPING!!!
See the cute rooster planter above?
I got her/him for $4.99 from Michael's; reg. price $19.99.
I was just really drawn to this piece; not ever owned any roosters or cared to have them in my home;)
I want to paint the pot yellow and add some yellow flowers to it. My project for tomorrow; along with helping paint the bedrooms!!! I CANNOT wait to reveal the before and after photos to you!
I also picked up some crafty supplies form Michaels and a cute bird statue for 50% off as well; pics to come of that. I headed over to Gordmans, which is new to our area... what a FUN store!!!
I got a couple new shirts for summer...
I love the ruffled neckline; reminded me of my girl, Jen(Glam Girl) who looks so cute in ruffles!
And it actually looked really CUTE on!
This top stood out to me and is like NOTHING I've ever worn before...
Loved the colors; and the vertical pattern=SLIMMING!
My belly is really hidden in this top, so I love it!
My belly is really hidden in this top, so I love it!
It would be cute with black bermuda shorts or black gauchos!!
Also snagged me a cute metal "bib" necklace:
To dress up a simple black top or tank this summer:)
Hubby is supposed to take me to lunch Wednesday to celebrate Mothers Day LATE; and he's paying for me to get my hair hi-lighted and cut this week too!
Now if only we'd get our warm weather back here!
Brrrrrr its been soooo cold at night; I put the heat back one!!
Ohhh, the best part of my Mothers Day was dinner...
with these 2 stud muffins....
Yep, we went to Burger King for dinner! LOL
Thats where they wanted to go, in fact Gavin told me "Hey its Mothers Day, you shouldn't have to cook!"
Haha, I love that boy!!
Here's my Gagie with his big Ironman!
They were STOKED that they got these 7 inch Ironmen figures in their meals; see the white triangle on his chest? Yep, press that button and the arms and legs ALL fall off- I had tons of fun putting that thing back together for him!! LOL
Here's my oldest goofball, I mean son ♥
He does the funniest faces for the camera!!
It ended up being a nice day after all ♥
............................
END OF MY SEMESTER UPDATE...
I got a B in Art History and a C :( in Music Appreciation.
Totally could have gotten a B in Music had I finished 2 essays...
Hey, I want in a MENTAL FUNK and just couldn't pull it off... happens ;)
So for the summer, I was going to take 2 Education courses and my final Math...
well I decided to not "KILL" myself over school this summer and enjoy the fun 'n the sun with the boys so I dropped the Math and will just take the 2 others on Tues and Thurs from 4-6:50 pm.
And the prof that teaches is an "easy" prof.. she's a lot of fun plus I LOOOVE the Education courses that are hands-on and actually about what I am going to school for!
So wish me luck, I am pulling for 2 A's this summer!!!!

Love you all, thanks for reading, commenting and always being there for me:)

Whew! You made it! Hope you have fun with your summer classes and get some awesome grades. Sorry Mother's Day wasn't quite what you had hoped for but it sounds like you had some fun anyway. Love the ruffly blouse!
'Fraid I'm not on Facebook - yet. School work and the blog keep me busy enough on the internet. :)
Love the rooster.. and LIKE YOU never thought I would own one, but guess what I have one on my pot shelves and he is wood and rustic looking... i LOVE HIM, AND yours too.
You crack me up.. i adore the white ruffled shirt, i would totally wear IT. The other shirt and necklace is way cute too. For being cranky on Mothers Day it seemed to all come together and sounded great to me. I need to get my kiddos to Burger King for that awesome doll. Good for you for doing so well in school, and being a wife and mommy too. WAY TO GO!
Hugs, Luvs, Jenn
Oh Those tops are so cute! You have a knack with clothes.
How nice it will be to get your hair done eh?....Been a long time for me I can tell ya!
Noelle, I got your message on my blog. Right now I am doing a bracelet swap and a new friendship swap and I am going to start up an APRON swap! I don't think I can do anymore swaps! :>) but thank you for asking.
Hey Noelle,
Congrats on school...I know you are so proud that the semester is behind you!
Love that Rooster Topiary and the blouses you found too..those are sooo cute!
I hope your painting projects are going smoothly...I can hardly wait to see your before and afters, I think those are always so fun to see.
Hope you have a great week!
Big Hugs,
Queenie
P.S. I read your other blog posts too, and the communion and party pics were beautiful and so are the pics of your family and you and your mom...wish you could have went to Disney too, but a trip to Amish Country sounds like a wonderful trip for you both...I'd love to go there.
Big Hugs,
Queenie

shopping is always a great way to chase away the blues!!! you got some great finds! hope school goes well this summer... go get some A's girl!
Even though your Mother's Day wasn't as you wanted, you got some great deals. Love the rooster planter! I have been having a thing for roosters lately. I don't know why, it's bizarre! And I love the tops. I wish I could find some really good deals! Have a good rest of the week!!
I'm sorry your mother's day didn't turn out exactly like you had hoped. I hope it was great, none the less!
I love your new shirt purchases!

Hi Noelle,
Love your shopping finds. Great tops and necklace. Love the sweet rooster. I can see it redone like you talked about adding yellow.
Good luck with your summer classes.
As always your little men are adorable.
Hope you enjoyed your Wednesday lunch out with hubby and hair day!
Thanks for stopping by and your kind comment. Good Luck in my giveaway too.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Okay those shirts look just like me! I love the sleevless one. Is it a store I can order from?
Im sorry mothersday wasn't the best,but we do have those.
Love you girl
I think it's sweet the boy's picked where to take you. Hey to them Burger King is probably the height of dining. When Brad asked E where to take me tonight so I wouldn't have to cook after my test she announced McDonald's was a favorite restaurant. Somehow we ended up at the Olive Garden instead.
