I Made A Tie!

Yep, it's true, only took two hours, but dang it I made a tie. It was sooooo easy, it only took two hours, because I have three kids, and I read the instructions word for word, and I had the help of a seven year old.

But it was so easy and I could easily sit here and make many more. Check out the fabric, safety pens. Picked it up at the sewing expo. I also picked up the pattern at the sewing expo so I won't be sharing it.

Cool Huh?

So Ethan can't wait to wear it to school tomorrow.

Breaking News

My child has lost his first Tooth, I repeat my child has lost his first Tooth!


No idea how this happened. But we got up this morning and Dad noticed something was missing. And Ethan goes, Yah! I lost it last night. I'm thinking "And You Didn't Tell Me!" KIDS!


So I have no tooth, nothing, but this goofy photo of my son and his missing tooth.

My baby is growing up.

Ethan's First Day Of School

So today was Ethan's first day of school. The photos came out cheesy to say the least. But he had fun.

This morning we got up and I checked my email something I was not going to do but did and good thing I did as they called for all kids to be there at 8:40am. So we race to get the kids out the door in the now 5 minutes we had and made it there on time.

I took him to his classroom shortly after 9am and he did not want me to go but I went. When I came back to get him he did not want to leave and asked why can't he go all day? Hard to explain we just can't afford all day class right now. But soon. Bear with us.

So we came home and he dived right into the homework and got that done. I got the biggest hug and he is just over the moon with being happy. What a great day he had. He can not wait until school starts tomorrow.

A Sad Day In My World

So about a month before my son's birthday my older son, he came to me and said Mom I don't want any gifts. Good thing I was sitting for that? Mom instead can we paint my room? So on the verge of tears I asked how he wanted his room painted? He showed me a photo of a Mickey Mouse room. Oh how sad. But I gave it and said sure but not until after your birthday.

Well here it is after his birthday and he still wants his room painted. We have bought half the paint so looks like we are doing this.

The sad thing is when I was 5 months along with him I painted his current room. I did this all by hand. Well with my projector, but every paint stroke was by hand. And now I must say goodbye to this room. The room that took a few months to work on as I had the time. He says he has outgrown it. What can a mom to do?

Stay tuned for the new Mickey Room....

Is This My Child?

So for this past week we have been noticing how well Ethan has been doing. No time outs, I have not had to yell, nothing! We took Ethan off of Supplements for the week to give us all a break and kinda by oopsy I realized he has been corn free all week long?

So I'm thinking x*%$ and *^)* and %@#& he does better corn free. Well Fudge-o-la do I sound thrilled NO. So here is what will have to be happening. (I think) all corn gone, which isn't really hard as I have been moving that way anyway. Organic corn in small doses looks to be good for him right now? I guess we wait and see?

But the difference has been amazing. No attitude what so ever, so nice to brothers. Listening a lot better. Just a whole different kid. So here is hoping it can only get better from here? I'll tell ya it has been a very nice week to be around him. It has not been like this in a long time.

Although the OCD cleaning, OH Boy! it has gone down if you all have heard me complain. Now he asks maybe once a day what can I clean?

I'm hoping this is his final diet change? Please God let this be the final diet change!

Dee-ah

So two of my boys are doing Karate. They love it so very much. So Ethan was very surprised to go to karate this week and find out he was black belt of the week. Which means he gets to stand up with the teacher and act like a second teacher. He loved it so very much. He wants to do it everytime he goes to Karate.
