Playing school w Nolan. Me"Why am I the only 1st grader who's pregnant?" Nolan-"you're not pregnant little girl just awfully fat."

Ohhhh Nolan...

For fear that this person may one day read my blog names have been changed.***

Finally met a cool parent at Nolan's new school.

After I had a chance to talk to her I ask Nolan... "Hey do you ever hang out with Jon***?"

He responds loudly "MOM! DO YOU WANT ME TO HANG OUT WITH A KID THAT PICKS HIS NOSE?!"

Oh MY GAWD... Seriously I hope the kids mom did not hear Nolan say that.

Eating spiders.

Uncle Matt- "Nolan did you know that a person eats about 200 spiders in a lifetime?"

Nolan- "Where did you learn that!?"

Uncle Matt- "I read in a book."

Nolan- "Well Uncle Matt that book was lyin' to ya."

Magic 8 Ball

At target 8 weeks pregnant with baby number 3. In the toy aisle Magic 8 Ball in hand. "Will this baby be a girl?" OUTLOOK NOT SO GOOD I figured maybe it's wrong. I shake it and ask again and it responds VERY DOUBTFUL. HA...

I want...

I want to do nothing today. I want to sit and read.

But we are having company over and the house is a mess. I have so many loads of laundry to fold. Lincoln PEED in our bed tonight so that's a whole load of laundry in itself. SOMEHOW I will get all 3 levels of this place clean by 12:00. Nolan has early day at school today and gets out at 12:40. I have 3 house calls tonight and will be doing a total of 5 clients. I am tired just thinking about it. Up to drink a bunch of water so I can have a cup of coffee without feeling guilty.

Latest DIY Project.

Wall Art Above Couch

It was about time I did something to the blank space above my couch. I was done looking at it. I had a few ideas. After hanging a "trial picture" up I realized that whatever is going to be above the couch needed to be baby proof. Lincoln stacked the couch pillows, climed his pillow tower and tried to pull down anything and everything he could. He even tried to climb up to pull the nail out of the wall after I took the picture frame down. After doing a Google search on DIY art I found an idea that I adapted and made work for what I wanted.

Using a plastic door mat as a stencil I came up with this...

taping and measuring

painted the boxes blue (left over from the boys room and kitchen)

Then I hammered the doormat to the wall using it as a stencil and spray painted over it. I removed the mat and it left this design.

Perfectly baby proof. Nothing heavy to fall and hurt my curious boys. I can paint over it when I get bored of it. Cost me 19.99 since I had everything but the door mat. I ended up purchasing it at Target after searching all over Temecula.

I am thinking it needs to be framed somehow. I think to keep it cheap I may use some left over chocolate brown paint that I have in the garage vs. purchasing molding. Whatcha think?

Phew...

Checking my bank account this morning started the day off with a crazy start. I deposited some checks and took out $20 for gas. As I am driving to the nearest gas station I decide I should roll down my windows and turn off the AC so that I don't waste gas that I don't have. Now it's hotter than balls in my car and Lincoln is screaming. I have the $20 bill sitting with my bank card on the middle console of the car. Sure enough as I am sitting at a red light praying to God that I make it to the gas station a strong gust of wind comes through my window and sends the $20 flying. I swear my car turned into a cash machine that you get into to collect money only mine was flying out.. I caught it right as it was flying past my face and out the driver's side window... then in true pregnancy fashion... I cried. Cried cause I was so proud of myself for catching it. Sometimes I wish I could film my day.
