I'm a bad blogger!!!!

I just forget to do it. And when I do remember, I don't have time to. So, I thought since I have a minute and I'm remembering to do it, I should blog as fast as possible. There is no telling when I'll be back here again. We have stayed very busy. Kate and John have both started school. Kate is in K4 and loves it. She is learning so much. She can say the Pledge of Allegiance and she has learned three bible verses. She is also learning to cut with scissors and she is learning to color in the lines. She loves loves loves her teacher Ms. Carla and I couldn't be more pleased. Well, if she could stay longer every day then I would be ecstatic. John loves school too. He just doesn't want me to leave him. He is now walking, I mean running and getting into everything. We fairly recently spent an evening in the ER for the first time. We always figured it would be Kate we would have to rush up there, but it ended up being John. Kate taught John to throw himself on the beanbag and it was too close to our coffee table and he knocked a hole in his forehead. Seriously, a hole. It almost looked like he had another eye. So off to the ER we went. He got three stitches and thought it was a blast going there. I hope this is not a sign of things to come!!!!


I've recently been in a Craft festival in Mt. Laurel and it was such a nice festival. I'm checking into others that I might participate in and hope I do well. I recently finished the kids matching Alabama outfits and they finally wore them yesterday. They were so cute!!!!!! Here is a pic.

Even if you are a fan of another team, you have to admit, they turned out cute! I've also made some new hair bows. Here are a few pics...

I've also been embroidering some stuff, but I haven't got pics of them yet. If I get back on here fairly soon, I will post pics of them. Until then.....Gotta go.

One Year

Little John is one now and I can't believe it. He is growing so fast. He weighs about 21 pounds but is tall and skinny. I believe the doc said he is 31 inches. He already has such a personality. I love him so much but could do without some of his attitude. He is such a boy.... getting into everything and rough and tumble. But he is also so loving. Even though it takes a lot more effort to do anything with him, I can't imagine life without him.

Teeth and Other Things

John now has three top teeth in. He is not in good spirits today because I believe that three others are trying to come in...... on the top! No bottom teeth. What is the deal? Is he going to be that kid that only has top teeth? Oh well, he is still super cute! He is now 11 months old now and I can't believe he will be one in a couple of weeks. He was just born yesterday!!!!!! I don't believe he will be walking by the time he is one like Kate though. He just doesn't seem interested. Which is ok by me! I just need to convince him that he should eat more regular food and get off the bottle, because I'm sick of washing them. Sick of it!!!!!!

On another note, Kate is doing good. Growing like a weed. Usually this is where I tell you that she is being her normal lovely self, but alas, I am not. Something has happened. Not sure exactly what caused this change but there has been one. She wants me to hold her all the time. She tells me she loves me every... five..... minutes. If she even thinks she is hurt or going to be sick, she comes crying to me. It is weird, because she has always been the crazy wild child who didn't need comforting. And she is sort of behaving. Well, behaving for her that is. I think she said Yes ma'am to me three times yesterday..... Who is this child? Manners... with me? I hope this keeps going and she gets better and better because I just knew she was going to have to be sent to boot camp when she became a teenager!

Off to work now. Really busy with making stuff and trying (unsuccessfully) to clean the house. I sooooo need a maid!!!!!

Cityfest 2009

So I was recently involved in a festival in Alabaster called Cityfest and did pretty well. I'm going to say that I definitely got people to come over because of my awesome sign!!!! I was so excited. I've got so many ideas of things I would like to make and other things I would like to do, but for now, I have to fill orders. Thought I would post a pic or two of my booth.

Updates Again

I know I am getting worse about posting frequently, but I have honestly been busy. It seems like having two kids makes things go by so much faster. I feel like half of the summer is already over and I don't remember it ever starting! Anywho..... John and Kate are growing like weeds. John is standing and walking along the furniture and getting into everything. He now has three teeth and they are all up at the top. I'm pretty sure we are going to be getting a couple more soon. Kate isn't really doing anything different. She is just a little sponge. Taking in everything we say and do.

I've been busy working on stuff. Making bows, embroidering things...... I just had a booth at Cityfest in Alabaster and did pretty well. Sold enough to cover my booth and then some, but the best part was that I made some contacts with some business owners who are interested in carrying my stuff in their stores. Yeah!!!!! One of them called me yesterday and I'm going to go to her store tomorrow so we can work out the detail and I can set them up in her store. I've got a few other leads that I need to work on but so far so good. If you are reading this and know of any leads I can check out, let me know.

Well, I'm off to get stuff ready for tomorrow!

Updates

John turned 10 months but we just went for his 9 month appt and he weighs 19 lbs 2 oz. I can't remember what his length was but he was 90% in height and 25th in weight. Everything else looked good. Kate just turned 4 and we had a party at Pump it Up and there were tornado sirens going off almost the entire time. It was crazy! Everyone had a good time though. I took her yesterday to her 4 year check up and she weights 41 lbs and is 40 1/4 inches tall. She also seems to be pretty healthy. I am so glad she did not have to get shots! She was so worried about it and I don't know if I could have held her down and held John at the same time.

I had a booth at the Buck Creek Festival and did pretty well. Next year if I do it I will get electricity though because it was just too hot. At least I wasn't pregnant this year! I am now gearing up for the Cityfest in Alabaster that is June 6th. Terri Clark will be singing and some other big band. Should be exciting. This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend and we are heading to the lake. Most of the fam will be there and I hope it doens't rain. Then Kate will be heading to my mom's house for the week. I'm so excited. I need a break!

Bye for now!

It has been awhile.... I know

Things have been slightly hectic here the past month or so, so I haven't been online to post in awhile. John now has two teeth and is trying to get over a double ear infection. Kate just had her 4th birthday and she is a brat just as usual. She got a bike for her birthday and it is like a kid turning 16 and getting a car. She wants to ride it all the time. I however don't want to walk around the block five million times. Easter was good. We went to Decatur and saw my family. We have been to lots of birthday parties and baby showers and a million other things. So I will post pics now so you can see how much the kids have changed.
