New Baby, Dayhome, crazy days ahead!

Oh geez have I ever turned into a pathetic blogger. Things have been crazy in our neck of the woods. We found out that I was pregnantin June, but I am the type that keeps pregnancy pretty hush-hush until its obvious. I am now 24 weeks and I think 3 days along and getting big, nervous and a little bit excited. Since my youngest isn't even a year yet these babes will be very close in age...about 14 months apart...YIKES! Anyways this is or last baby. 4 is what we wanted and 4 is what we were given. Oh and its another GIRL, so 2 girls and 2 boys!
I also opened a Day Home. I needed to do something and a day home seemed like the perfect fit for our lifestyle. I currently have one little guy in my care and have had a ton of calls, so far so good! Anyone out there have any tips about running a wonderful dayhome let me know.

I also opened my own Etsy shop and have sold nothing online yet. I have been making banners for awhile now. My girlfriend started making them and I am following in her footsteps and started making them as a hobby. If your interested let me know. I am currently taking orders locally for Christmas so if your interested for Christmas decorations or gifts let me know.

Broken Computer ***Sigh***

Yes its true. I dropped my laptop and broke my screen. I am still sad about it. It is currently getting fixed but there may also be something wrong with the hard drive but I really am hoping not since I never saved anything that was on my hard drive.

Other then that life is going by as usual. I will share my big surprises tomorrow with all of you. One of them is my first giveaway so stay tuned.

Oh Where Oh Where Oh Where have you been?

Well after taking a unannounced summer break I am back and ready to get bloggin. We did tons of fun stuff this summer like camping and relaxing at our family cabin. My older boys even got to take a trip to Disneyland with Grandma and Grandpa.

But its back to school already. Grade 1 and 4 year old preschool here we come!

Stay tuned as I have a giant surprise to announce sometime this week!

Camping

I am really not a huge fan of camping.

It is a chore to pack a bunch of clothes, food, bottles, plates, untensils, etc.

I get dirty, and my kids gets filthy. We smell like campfire, and the outhouse is almost unbearable!

**

We had a fun camping adventure. Middle Man pooped his pants because he was scared of the outhouse, L cried constantly since she is teething, My husband took his dirt bike for a ride and got about 5km(not sure what that is in miles) out and his bike broke down, so he had to push it back...needless to say he was missing for quite some time. Jay he had fun. He rode a miny quad for about 48 hours straight, In his attempt to perfect his driving he hit someone's brand new camper, an outhouse, and cut his throat when he hit a tree.

I served my family hotdogs for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I ate different varities of bread...YUM.

I can't wait to head out again soon!

Jay riding the quad

L wondering why I am giving her stawberries in a mesh bag...ewww Mom!

Middle Mans first quad attempt with daddy


Quading with his big bro...much better!

Mmmm...Addictive

Yes I have been missing for a week or more.

June is a busy month filled with Preschool grad, kindergarten excitment, teething wonders, me falling down the stairs and landing on my tailbone and then peeing my pants...you know all that good stuff!

My Addictions as of June 18th-2009

1. Diet Pepsi/Diet Dr. Pepper

2. Farm Town on Facebook!

3. Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburg Penguins! ( I really don't have like 50 picture's of him on my computer)

4. Lettuce Wraps, anyone have a recipe?

5. Rain, we don't get it alot so its been nice.

Ps. Here's hoping my tailbone is not broken...I heard the Dr. has to stick a good old finger up the rear to find out, really looking foward to it!

Van Etiquette

I drive a van.

I never thought I would.

2 years ago we traded in our little Honda CRV for a Van. My husband was all into the whole van scene.

As soon as I got into the drivers seat I felt like I needed to hike my pants up to my chest and have enormous underwear lines.

I felt at least 20 years older.

There is definitely etiquette that you need to follow when driving a van.

1. First you must never have the music up loud enough to be heard by other drivers or passerbys.
2. You can't race other drivers; not that I would ever do anything like that...
3. Never try to look cool while driving, you will just embarrass yourself, and last but not least
4. Do not remove the seats in the rear of the van and try to take a nap in a parkade; it is not a camper, and you will almost likely suffocate.

This is me about 2 years ago. Posing with the van.

Major Crush

Yes I am majorly crushing on this boy! Someone give me a cold towel!
