I bought some flowers and clips and decided to sell them. So I got brave and posted a few on etsy. I hope they sell!! I have a TON that I want to list, but we'll see how it goes! Here's a sample of a few items I have for sale:

Butterfly clips

In other news: Logan goes to school and then hides in the basement aka: Logan's man-cave. Brooklyn isn't up to much. We register her for kindergarten on the 3rd. Really? That's a week! I don't know why I'm having a hard time with it. Maybe cuz Logan was so relaxed about everything and Brooklyn is the complete opposite. Oh well it's just registration, she's not going..yet.

Crazy kid.

Little Reagan is not so little anymore. She's 4 1/2 months. Smiling like crazy, has dimples a mile deep, starting to roll over, she gets her arm stuck and then it's like she has such a rolley polley belly that her legs hover off the ground, pretty funny.

Little red head.

That's pretty much life. Real quite here. I love it here but I'm also missing friends. :) Come visit me people!
When is it gonna be spring? It's march (almost)! Any day now would be perfect!

Hockey

We found an outdoor rink for Logan to skate on up in Idaho Falls. It's the one off of Sunnyside, by the hospital. While we were up one weekend we put on all his gear and had him skate around. There were some other people there and Logan's like, "yeah, I skate better than they do, they're slow".

We would throw ice chunks out to him and he would hit them with the stick till they broke.

Gotta love those teeth!

random thoughts

-Anyone want to buy my house? Trust me it would be like stealing from me!

-Anyone want to give me a few thousand dollars? And by a few I mean about 65.... :) There's some land up here we want to buy. ahhh dreams...

-I finally stopped singing that Tracy bird song "We're from the country". "Everybody knows everybody. Everybody calls you friend, you don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in. We know how to work and we know how to play. We're from the country and we like it that way". Oh crap! Stuck again...

-I am sick of killing/cleaning up flys. They are everywhere! We probably have some infestation. Think of that show "the birds", like that only with flys. Ok they don't attack, but there's tonz of them.

- I would not have chosen the floor color. They have hardwood all on the main level and they picked this:

We'll just call this color "blond" Hello! You live on a farm, farms have dirt (among other things) and it shows up nicely on the floor. My floors are SUPPER clean cuz I sweep at least 5 times a day- I wish I was joking.

- I love having a husband. Who knew I would like to be married? ;p He gets home at 5:30 and he's home. Not pulling the laptop out to work more or worrying about all the things he has to do the next day, he's just home.

-Logan loves school! Yay!!!!!! I'm sorry(no i'm not) but his teacher in meridian was HORRIBLE. If anyone's kid gets miss keeney next year kick and scream till you get someone else. Not joking. Awful awful teacher. Logan would cry or whine every morning cuz he didn't want to go to school. I am so glad he has an awesome teacher now. I've emailed her a few times and she is so nice and I asked if Logan was having a hard time paying attention (because that was the whole issue in meridian and according to miss keeney, something was "wrong" with logan-have the email that proves she said that) and she said only a few times he looses focus but she just reminds him to do his work and he gets right back on task. Miss keeney was convinced logan was autistic, pushed so hard we even took him to the Dr. Dr said he's not even close to being autistic. If getting logan away from that situation was the only reason we needed to move, I'm so glad we did. He reading has improved, I didn't think math could get much better but it has, he actually tells me what they did in class. In meridian he could never remember or they "didn't do anything". He's so excited to tell me about his day. I could go on and on but you get the picture.

-We moved Brooklyn and Reagan's room. Brook is on the main level now and reagan is in the room next to ours. It works out well. I think Brook was afraid of the room upstairs...? No clue why, but she stays in bed and is much happier and that's all I care about. :)

-I say things like, "Lets go into town". hee hee my parents talk like that. They grew up on a farm and used to go into "town".

-Alco is walmart's little sister.

-So sick of winter. It's amazing how fast you get used to warmer weather. I grew up in eastern Idaho, I know what winters like. We only spent 4 winters in Boise but they were so nice!! I'm constantly cold. on our bed we have our sheets, the comforter, a quilt and another blanket. Yes, the heat is on in our house.

-It's windy here.

-I like how open everything is. We drive through a normal neighborhood and are like, wow the houses are really close together. After living practically on top of our neighbors, we like space.

-Can't wait till it's warm! BBQs on our deck, room for the kids to run, run, run. Ride their bikes without worrying about my sloped driveway or people zipping up and down the street. Playground in our own backyard, not around the corner.

-I feel lazy. I mean I know I'm lazy, that's not a new discovery. I just felt less lazy when I was working and only had one day off. That day off I always felt like I got a million things done. If I didn't do it on my day off, then it would never get done. I try to keep the house clean, dishes done, clothes put away....ok the clothes will never be put away! The laundry basket is "away" right? I told Cory I hate doing laundry and asked if I can just throw clothes away at the end of the week and buy new ones. He laughed and said sure. Yes is yes...right? ;) hmm I wonder if I could talk him into that idea with the dishes...

-I love love love having time to craft, I just wish I didn't have so many projects I've started!

-And a million other things that enter my mind.......

Quiet Book

I decided to make a quiet book for Reagan thinking it would take me forever do get it done so she'd be old enough to use it but I'm almost done with it. I got this idea from a blog -www.servingpinklemonade.blogspot.com She's awesome and made all these templates where you just had to print them out and follow directions!

Zipper page, self explanatory. Flower petals have numbers on them and velcro to the page, the pot can be used to hold the petals as well.

Tennis racket, you can weave the stripes. Paint, the paint spots are stuck with velcro so you can move them around and "paint" with the paint brush.

The barn doors open, there's a pocket inside that will hold little finger puppets (haven't made them yet, there will be a cow, pig and chicken). The tree has velcro on the branches and I made flower, summer leaves, fall leaves and snow flakes for the 4 different seasons. The grass holds the one's your not using.

Ballet shoe- tying page. Dress up doll, self explanatory.

There's two more pages that I haven't finished yet. One is a road with a house and garage and it has a car you can drive around and little stop signs and things. The other is a mailbox that has a door you can open up and a flag that moves up and down.

So I need to finish those up and then bind the pages and I'll be done! Logan wants one but I think he's too old for a touchy/feely type book so I might make an ABC one-a is for atonement, b is for baptism, ect. Serving pink lemonade has a good idea for one like that too!
