Buddy...

Abby asked if Buddy the Elf gets paid by Santa...clearly she doesn't get that he is a stuffed animal...I responded "I guess I never thought to ask him.". She said do you talk to him alot? I said every night.

Shutterfly Holiday Collection...

If you know me than you know that I obsess over pictures. If you don't know me, I'm sorry, you should :) I literally take thousands of pictures each month. I love to put our pictures into things (collage prints, photo books, cards, prints, enlargements, etc). No exception is our annual holiday card. Last year I ordered in October, that obviously didn't happen this year. I especially love Shutterfly's 2010 Holiday Collection. www.shutterfly.com

This year's card will have to be especially special due to our new addtion, Mr. Paxton. I spend hours each year putting my picture into the different options before I decide on the "right one." This year will be no exception, I already have an idea and now to find the perfect card!

That being said I want to share a few of my favorite products:

So many choices...
Christmas cardshttp://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards

-The choices are endless

More choices and ideas...
Holiday photo cardshttp://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery

-The stationary cards add a little bit of class, at least I think so!

For a project in the near future...
Canvas wall arthttp://www.shutterfly.com/home-decor/canvas-wall-art

I can't pick my favotite card as I feel the picture picks the card...lots of choices this year!

If you have never used Shutterfly in the past, let me tell you they are great. Their customer service is wonderful. I once made a mistake in a photo book purchase and they helped me out in a bind without addtional charges! That doesn't happen very often. I hope you check out www.shutterfly.com for your photo needs.

If you blog check this out...if you don't...reason enough to start?!

Mommy...

I peed downstairs and there was no toilet paper so I used the towel but I put it back. And I peed on the wall a little bit but don't worry I wiped it up. With the towel.

Hunted and hunted

For that pesky gingerbread man all week. This is his hanging at school.

All their idea...

One is vacuuming. One is dusting. Fine by me cause I am not doing it.

A real shiner...

Hope they don't call CPS. This happened out of my care :).

First

Day of Third Grade and Preschool!!

What not to do...

Here is what not to do when you are 8 months pregnant. Slam your finger in a door, okay shit it completely, and have a hole drilled to release the pain. All with no drugs. Gotta love pregnancy.

Hospital Visit...

Well we had a sibling class at the hospital today and needless to say this little man is not ready for this.

He didn't want to hold the "Baby" (okay it was fake). Didn't want to look in the nursery. Didn't want to listen to the teacher. He did want to climb all over, turn on and off the fireplace (which WTF it was on in August I don't know), eat the treats, drink the juice, run away from me, discover the Nourishment Room (which thanks a fucking lot lady, now he won't do anything at the hospital except eat popsicles, ice cream and cookies), and ask the teacher when it was over. He did enjoy making a bib for the baby, he said this is really nice of me. Yeah pin a rose on your nose. So I figure in 7 1/2 weeks he is going to have a rude awakening and I don't quite know what to do about it.

Shopping

This should scare all. He was out of control. Look out hyvee shoppers.

Swimming

And Popsicles.

Name

I wrote my name...so big!

Teaching

Porter to write his name.

The life...

Popcorn and a movie in the air conditioned playhouse.

The end...

This is the first year I don't feel bad having to go back to work, because soon VERY soon I will get 8 weeks off to spend with little Fergus! It has been an awesome busy summer. I have exactly 11 days left off until I report back to the old job. Then I work maybe 6 weeks and get to be home...that isn't too bad is it? Enjoy this picture...

Family picture...

I read so many blogs. I wish I had witty things to right about each day. I wish I had readers. I wish, I wish, I wish.

I wish I had an awesome family picture...oh wait I do. Look at this...This is bitchen.
