Hilarious Pictures :}

AuStIn had chocolate ice cream the other night, and when he was finished this is what he looked like. He turned into our little Bandito or Amigo or Senor. These pictures are PrIceLesS...Especially the cheeser smile :).

Happy 2009!!!....yeah, I know I'm a few weeks late :)

Happy New Year everyone! I have not posted on here for so long. The holidays get busy and then the new year is here and I'm busy with getting everyone back on schedule. I sure am glad it is the 3rd week of January. Finally feeling like things are back to normal.

So, I decided to change the background of my blog and accidentally deleted pretty much everything I had on here. So, now I am starting over...aaahhhh!! I guess that is what the new year is for.

What has been going on here...Lindsey has started her Girl Scout cookie selling. We went out this weekend door-to-door and sold like crazy! The first day to sell was Jan. 10th and she has already sold 125 boxes!!! Go Lindsey! She's got her eyes on the prizes. Now we get to deliver all of them :(

We have also started trying to potty train Austin. He is 3 and 1/2, so it's about time he gets on the potty wagon. This is where my patience needs to show itself. Lindsey was so EASY to train...boys are definately a lot harder. I'll keep everyone updated on how it goes...I'm sure you'll all be wondering :)

Mark and I are starting a new venture on Ebay. With Mark not working yet, we were looking for something to make a little money. We are now going through our house finding things that we can try to sell. Mark seems to find things that belong to me..."you really don't need that do you?", he says...nice try, Mark!

I have so many projects that I want to finish. As I finish them, I will post them on the craft website...so check it out! I'm hoping to have more items on Etsy to sell. I need to learn how to utilize my time better...maybe then I would get more things done. Does anyone else have that problem?

Well, I hope you are all having a great start to the new year. Enjoy life and don't stress...that's what I keep telling myself :)
