Radleys Out-

We are heading down to my parents house tomorrow.  Hope to be out of here bright and early, but that usually means about 9 or 10 by the time we get everything packed. :)
It has been snowing here on and off for 3 days!  So weird! 
I'm hoping it starts warming up soon, usually by this time we have already had some really sunny days and I'm thinking about yard work....  Not yet this year, still seems so very winter here.
Maybe I'll have better luck in Oregon, but I hear it has been snowing there a little too.
Anyway- Have a great week and if you order any Rose Petal Betty it won't get sent until the week of April 7th, just an FYI... :)
Oh and I might not post until then either... But I might hop on my parents computer if I get a chance....

Later Gators!

Snow Way!

It started snowing late yesterday afternoon and whenever it snows around here the boys get a little crazy!  I think this is the first "Spring" snow we have ever had here...
Snowy2 Here the boys are, probably discussing how they can talk dad into letting them out at night to play in the snow.

Don't worry the police are on the scene. I'm sure Sam has a plan.

And the last photo, just as proof that he is his fathers son.

Today

Sam and I were getting ready to go get Ben from school and I needed Sam to get dressed and he was dilly dallying around.  I had a terrible headache and really didn't feel like having to deal with it.  So... being the slightly dramatic or maybe not so slightly dramatic girl that I am, I said....

Me: Ugh Sam, hurry up my brain is going to explode.

Sam: WHAT?  Are you going to die?

Me: No probably not, but I feel like it right now.

Sam: Well if you die we will have to get a new mom, ya know.

Me: You will?

Sam: Uh- YA!  Of course.

Me:  Okay, I guess, but I'm probably going to live.

Sam: How much will that cost?  A 100 bucks?

Me: What?

Sam: A new mom.

Me: Well, probably a lot more than 100 bucks.

Sam: oh, well I guess we'll just have to find one.

Me: Would you be sad? (hello?)

Sam: Probably..... I might even cry.

Me: Well sheese, I hope you miss me.

Sam: Ya, I would

Me: Well, I feel fine now, so lets get Ben.

Sam: Ok.

Can you even believe it?  I barely even get a shed tear!  :) 

In the blog zone?

For those of you that have a blog.... Do you ever feel like sometimes you just love it and can't wait to post just, random stuff?  Then there are periods that you just feel like it's a job? :)  Well, I'm very hot or cold with it... such is my life with most stuff... 

A couple weeks ago, I was loving it, then the last couple weeks have been, well... eh, I could take it or leave it.  So anyway, I'll try and break out of my blog rut here soon...  My little break next week to Oregon will probably help.  I should have lots more stuff to post after the week with my family. 

It will be Sam's 5th birthday next week and Jason's.....36th (holy closer to 40 than 30 batman!)  Feels weird.  I mean I know we are getting older, but is it wrong to still feel....13?  Cause I totally do.... except when I pay bills.

Anyway here is just a photo I took of my sampler last week that I kinda like....  Also gives you maybe a better idea of how big they are....  later gators.

Eggsend_3 Finally! :)  Sam is not a big fan of the patience yet...

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday!

We had a good one and this is the first year that Ben REALLY understood what Easter is all about and it made me sooo proud! 

Happy day after Easter!

Today on the way to school....

Ben: Mom is the Easter Bunny a real bunny?

Me: Um, I guess.

Ben:  Does he talk?

Me: Um, I don't know, I don't think so.

Ben: How big is he?

Me: I think he is really big like a person.

Ben: Eeeeeewww, that's creepy.

Funny.

Busy, Busy

Aren't we all... ?:)

Just wanted to pop in and say we didn't win any "prize" for our cake, but neither one of us were disappointed.  We had fun making it.  We went to the carnival on Friday night and it was really fun and the school really did a great job with it. 

We had a pretty mellow weekend, the boys went to see Horton Hears a Who and they all said it was really good.  I stayed home to get some work done without little helpers.

I've been working on some new ideas for RPB and new products and it's been really fun.  Hoping to be able to give more information out soon.

Also I've been planning a little fund raiser at school (but benefiting a family who's youngest son has been diagnosed with Leukemia) with another mom at school, which I'm really excited about, but is also taking some time to try and figure out.  I'll let you all know about that later when we are closer too.

Also, the boys and I are planning a little trip down to Oregon for Spring Break and we are all looking forward to that.

That's it for the last few days.  More soon....

Candyland Cake

Candylandcakeben Candylandcake Candylandcake2This weekend is our school's carnival and auction.  This year our campus is responsible for the cakes for the cakewalk. 

Two weeks ago Ben came home telling me he wanted to make a cake for the cakewalk.  Ugh.  The reason?  If he won one of the 3 prizes (out of probably 50 or more cakes) he would get a free soda and 5 extra tickets for the carnival.... Now knowing what I know about Ben and myself and baking, I know we don't stand a chance....  I told him I'd buy him a soda and 5 extra tickets, so I wouldn't have to make one... :) but he really wanted to enter... So anyway this is our effort.  We just got done tonight and we take it in the morning to be "judged". 

Before today I thought, hey maybe we could get most original, but then at pick up today one of the other moms asked what we were making and I told her  and she said, "Oh, that is what we are making"! 

I said really loudly "Shut Up!" and hit her in the arm.... I don't know her all that well....

So there goes that and no wonder I don't have any friends.  :)

But anyhoo... Ben and I had fun making it and he and I ate lots of candy (there goes the diet for today).  You can even tell in that photo he is sucking on a starburst....

New on the Website

The Dead Sea Soak Sampler is up over on Rose Petal Betty under the Dead Sea Bath Soak section.  Still working on lots of other fun stuff.   Feels great to be in the groove again, but it makes it a little harder to blog. :)
More soon.

Coming soon....

Cupcaketo Rose Petal Betty .  And no they are not edible.... :)

I think I'll keep what it actually is under wraps for a little while longer, while I make sure they are going to work out the way I want them too.
But I just had to share a photo, because it's so darn cute!!

We are all feeling great, the house is clean and I'm finally able to get some research and development done for RPB.  My favorite part!!!

I need to go take a bath for further testing!  Later gators!!
