Sick day for us

Well me and the boys are sick. By the boys I mean just Stephen and Ethan, thank heavens Brian's ok, someone's gotta do laundry and dishes and cook! Haha. It's just colds but I tell you a cold can really put you on your butt. And of course I hate to see the boys sick, especially Ethan because he's so small still. (he looks small to be sick, but this boy is growing!)

I started another blog, this one is for my cardmaking and any other crafts. It's Erin K Creations if you care to look at what I'm making these days. I only started it today so there are just two cards over there. I've also learned how to cute the blogs up a bit so I might be making a few changes to this one. Not sure yet.

Oh please leave a comment to this question: Should every entry have a picture, even if it's not directly dealing with the entry. Like this entry about being sick, I'm not taking a pic of our snotty noses, but would this be better if I just stuck up a random cute picture anyhow? Be honest do you come here for the info or the cute pics?

Update on Cats

Well we don't have any animals living in the house now! We went from maybe three to none.

Kitty moved in for a day and didn't figure out about the litter box or let us touch him or anything so I moved him back out. We are still considering him ours and will be taking him to the vet for shots and stuff very soon.

Sassy is a pee cat. We've tried everything and taken her to the vet and so on and such forth and she's just a pee cat. She always has been even when she was our only cat and no kids. So I moved her out too. I just couldn't take it anymore with the babies crawling and all. She loves it out there though and her and Kitty have become good friends and they pal around together.

So we were down to one cat, Charlotte, or CharBear as we call her. Well I continued to find pee and set a trap and caught her peeing so she went out too. Nothing is wrong with these cats, I think it's just because I didn't crack down hard enough so they sort of learned that they can just pee all over. Anyhow not only did CharBear get kicked out but the loveseat she was peeing on got kicked out too. I moved it out all on my own the other day. Brian was suprised I had the strength to do it. I think he's used to me being pregnant or something, I mean I'm a tough girl, I can move furniture! She seems ok out there, she's less accpeting than Sassy was but the three of them seem to hang out together.

Now I'm going to get someone in here to clean the carpets and get a new couch and we should be pee free. For a moment at least, Stephen will be potty training very soon! If it isn't one thing it's another right?

On the move!

Well we had an eventful weekend. Friday night Brian went to a Scout Campout and I stayed home with the kids. Our computer died that night. It took us three stores and until Monday but we finally have a new one. I got tons done while the computer was down though. I even took down curtains and washed them! Also one of our cars seems to be broken. Brian's working on it though, he actually knows a bit about cars. His father taught him. Luckily it's not the car we use mostly.

Biggest news though, Ethan crawls now. He's been sorta scooting and moving backwards for a few weeks, but this weekend he started really crawling forward. He's fast too! As you can see in this picture he's very proud of his accomplishment.

Well I don't know that I put this on here but I made a commitment with a friend Sherri not to buy any craft stuff all January. The month is almost over and neither of us has bought anything. We are both going crazy of course! I have two lists made out of stuff I want to buy online. One is this new company I found Pink Cat Studio. I mean they are new to me, I don't think new all together. All my online friends are in a Stamping Bella craze, but right now I'm nuts for Eat Cake Graphics. Anyhow I have figured out what I'm getting from Pink Cat and Eat Cake. Also I decided to do this with almost NO white paper. I need some very badly. I'm such a huge paper snob I'm not sure still where I will order paper from. The good news is that I sold a bunch of stamps that I wasn't using anymore and made just over $170 so I have a bunch to get new stuff with. (Which was the point of course)

I'm visiting my Dad next week and I can't wait!

Well until next time!

Welcome 2007

Well as you can see in the picture Ethan is growing in leaps and bounds. He crawls now, but only backwards. He eats tons and tons of jars of food. He isn't nursing any less either. You know that comercial that says a todler's stomach is only about the size of his little fist. IT'S A LIE. I watch both of these boys consume more food than would fit in their heads, nevermind their fists.

Stephen is still slowly but surely coming along with his speach. He now picks out the words he knows in any sentences. We will be talking about dinner ideas and all the sudden he's marching around, "Chicken! Chicken!". It's pretty much adorable.

We are helping Marcia find a condo up here in Jacksonville. There is one prospect she is considering right now. I'm amazed at how much money condos cost right now. This little one bedroom one is more than our first house cost! And that wasn't too long ago.

I have a new resolution, I guess it's a new year's one, but I just happened to do it now. You all know I make cards. (Didn't know that? maybe this is the wrong blog as you've obviously not met me!) Well I'm going to send a lot more off for publication this year. I got three in magazines last year, but I want more. If you don't know how it works you usually don't get paid for them, it's all about the fame. Sometimes you get a free issue of the magazine you are in. I'll keep you all posted so you can run to your local bookstores to get "MY" magazines. I also made a commitment with my good friend Sherri, we are both not buying any craft items all month. Now keep in mind we just both placed large orders with a stamp company we have yet to receive, so it's not like we won't GET any stuff this month. ;)

Oh that stray cat is still around. It's a boy cat. He has been in the house a few times. We once thought he was in for good but he peed in our bed, so he had to go back out. So we are still working on it.

I hope everyone has a great 2007.
