WE WON!

It seems like all of my recent posts have been about the egg drop, and here is another!

Saturday at the egg drop, they were giving really awesome prizes. They have away Wii, PSP, DSI, IPODs, and 42" TVs in all three age groups. After Kameron's hunt, they kept announcing that nobody had claimed the egg for his age group, please look through your eggs again to see if there is anything "strange" in your egg. Finally they even said look for a little foam red heart. We looked, and we looked again. No heart.

Saturday night, I had a Dove Tasting party, so I wasn't home. When I called Jim to say I was on my way home, he said, "Guess what Kameron was playing with? A little foam red heart!" We were so excited, but worried that they wouldn't give it to us because we didn't claim it at the egg drop.

Jim called them late Saturday and then again a million times on Sunday. We didn't hear back from them so we figured that was it... no TV for us. BUT WAIT! While the boys and I were at a friend's house, Jim got a call. COME PICK UP FOR 42" 1080P TV NOW!!!!!! I was over the moon Excited. We went and picked it up yesterday.

We decided since we already have a 42" HDTV, we would all benefit from selling it. We listed it on craigslist and got a few serious offers and some crazy trade offers. We finally sold it to a friend and we are dropping it off later today.

Leave comments with what we should do with the money! We have a few ideas, but we haven't really decided yet.

Helicopter Egg Drop!

We are on our way to an Easter egg hunt. They are going to drop 20,000 eggs from a helicopter. Wish is luck and I will post pictures later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three day weekends.

No school for Nathan tomorrow! so three day weekend, 4 day week next week, then another 4 day weekend for Easter. I hope he handles it well. It seems like whenever is schedule is messed up, it throws off his week. I don't know what I am going to do when he has the summer off. He needs the structure and the schedule..

We are going to try to potty train Kams soon. I have been trying to talk him into wearing underwear, but he doesn't want to. So we are going to plan on staying home for a few days and naked training him. Wish us luck!

Landon is nearly sitting up on his own. He will be 5 months old on the 1st! I want him to stay a baby forever.. I think it's just knowing that he is our last baby and I don't want him to grow up.

Jim is off for spring break next week, and I am doing pretty well with my businesses. I have a fitting for a sling tomorrow and a Dove party on Saturday. Here's hoping to make the big bucks!

Taking our slings to the kids resale.

 
Saturday is the kids resale and it will be our first real attempt at selling our ring slings. I am also going to try to sell some things that I don't need for Landon. It will be the first time that I got rid of baby things. What a big weekend for me. I hope it all works out and I make lots of money.

Busy weekend

Krista is coming over to help with finishing touches on the slings tomorrow. Then for the rest of the day, I have to get ready for the resale. Friday I have to go set up for the sale, Saturday is the sale. Sunday, Jim and I are being Baptized, then I have a meeting for my dove stuff. I have a feeling I'm not going to get much time to rest.

Full manic mode.

First day of daylight savings. The kids went to bed late last night and still Nathan woke up in full force at 7am. Instead of sleeping from 8pm to 7:30am, He slept from 9pm until the new 7am, so he missed out on about 2 1/2 hours of sleep- and so did I. Of coarse he is up running around and screaming and had to get Kameron up. On top of that, I'm not letting him have any TV until his room is clean. He made a deal with his dad that he would do his home work as soon as he got home from school, keep his room clean, and go to bed without a fight and in return he is aloud to watch TV. But guess who has been keeping the room clean? Some days me, some days, no one. I am sitting here with Nathan on one side yelling please! Please clean it! and Kameron on the other side with a clock. What time is it mommy, what time is it. Jim and Landon are sleeping. All during the week he gets up with Nathan for school, so I don't mind him sleeping in a little today. I just wish I would have gotten more than 6 hours of sleep broken up by nursing every few hours. I can feel my full manic mode coming on in a little while. I wonder where he gets it from? =)

While I attempted to read over this, Nathan read most of it too. I can't believe how big he is getting....

Bargains/First Dove party

We went out in search of church shoes for the boys. We love the come as you are style of the church we go to, but we still like to look nice. First, we stopped at a relay for life "garage sale". All of the clothes were 25 cents a pc and we spent $1.50. a few of the things we got had tags on them. Then we went out to the Village thrift store and found shoes for Kameron. They were like new and only $1.50. We also got a few pairs for Landon which were like new, but will be for when he is a little bigger. I found a few other things too.

My total for the day:
3 pairs of pants
1 pair of shorts
1 pair of swim trunks
3 pairs of shoes
1 romper
1 sweat shirt

All for only ... $8!

So we have $12 left to get shoes for Nathan. Not sure what I am going to do for Easter clothes yet.

Tomorrow is my first Dove party! check it out at http://www.dove-chocolate-discoveries.com/sites/stephaniemarlowe

These pants were left of the Kitchen floor because they were "to muddy" and had to be changed


I tried to catch some of the mud with an old towel.

Nate digging for worms


He found some good ones!

What a beautiful day.

Nathan has been pretty wild this week. Jim and I can usually tell how he was at school by how fast he runs in from the bus. Every day this week: super fast-not a good sign. But he has been on green every day this week. Even today he was on green even though he was sent to the principal's office. "Mrs. C, T***** said Funkin ass whole." Yeah, pretty bad. But he learned it there, not here. "I was just telling on him mom. I wasn't trying to say it the first time. I was really surprised Mrs. C. didn't switch my card, she must have forgot."

So now they are playing outside. There is a trail of mud going from the back porch through the kitchen and into the living room. They are out there digging for worms and the whole yard is just a big pit. Maybe I will add pictures. Although I am sad that he got in trouble at school, I am in such a great mood. The fans are on and the doors are open and I can hear birds singing. They must be as happy as I am.

Spring rocks. I am going to post so pictures of the mess too.

Back to it.

Ok, I completely abandoned this over a year ago. I am going to give it a shot again. Nathan is 6, Kameron is 2, and Landon is 4 months old. As if that isn't enough to take up my time, I have 3 business type things working and at this point I would just love one of them to work out. Dove chocolate is amazing, but not cheap. I wonder how much of it I am going to be able to sale and part of me feels like it's ok if I just break even then I could just sell it to my friends at a discount. I feel really good about the ring slings, and it's fun making them. The one I really want though, I can't really speak about yet because I don't want to jinx it. MMM, Praying. I really hope it works out. It feels like it fell into my lap at just the right time.

Other than that, we have found a new church that we are in love with. I had lunch with the pastor's wife today. She is amazing and we have tons in common. I love the come as you are style of the church. I was pleasantly surprised to see women in jeans. Now that's my kind of place. =)
