The PumPum Patch

At least that is what my daughter calls pumpkins. It is so cute. We went to the pumpkin patch two weeks ago and I am just not getting around to posting some pictures. I am such a procrastinator. But at least I managed to remember to bring the camera so I could get some pictures. The older I get the worse my memory is and I am always forgetting my camera. LOL Anyway here are the pictures -

Do not say he looks like Obama. Although he likes Obama he hates it when people tell him that they look the same. LOL




Molly and mommy!
And now a video of Molly climbing through some huge pumpums!

What is wrong

With me today? For some reason, I feel completely overwhelmed and I have not done anything yet. I just have this feeling that something is wrong and I don't like this feeling at all. Maybe it is just because I woke up with a migraine that is finally starting to subside. It started last night around two in the morning. So I am very tired today and a little cranky, so of course the kids pick up on that and are cranky right back. Luckily my husband is not being cranky yet.
I need to clean house today. Does someone want to come do it for me? I also need to make lots of tarts and get a few orders ready. I have new tarts now. I am now offering punk tarts. Each tart is shaped like a skull. I love doing fun tarts.
I am starting some new prospects to expand the business. I sure hope that it gets some bites. Money is tight and getting tighter. That probably is not helping my feeling of being overwhelmed today. I do believe the Lord is going to help me get through this, but I also believe that means helping myself to receive his help. I hope this is the direction that I need to go in. I a taking a bit of a chance with some stuff, but I am hoping it will pay off.

Busy, Busy, Busy

I cannot believe how busy I have been for the last week. Will I never get a break? So many things have happened that I can hardly keep up anymore.
My son was asked by a girl to go to her homecoming dance. He was supposed to go over the weekend. I have decided that this is no girl that is good enough for my son. She actually called him up last Wednesday and changed her mind. She was afraid that she would hurt her girlfriends feelings because her girlfriend did not have a date. I felt bad for Lucas. He does not talk much to me about his feelings (14 years old) but I know that it must have really bothered him. I need to do something special for him soon!
And of course Molly has been doing the potty thing for a while now. But we have to keep on top of her. She is doing really good with it though. Right now we are only doing it at home and when we go anywhere she gets a diaper. She still has a few accidents but it is getting better.
I have been super busy doing stuff for The Tart Shack. I have signed on to be a sponsor for The Greath Cloth diaper hunt. If you are not sure what that is, click on my site. On the front page you will see an icon for the GCDH. It will tell you all about it. It is lots of fun and you can win lots of cool prizes. I made 100 samples last week for the sponsor packages. WOW! That was a whole lot of pouring.
Then I also signed up for a store called Out of the Box Sampler. You can check it out at www.outoftheboxsampler.com. Stores make samples of their products and send it to this store. The store then makes boxes and turns around and sells it. This is a great way to check out a whole bunch of WAHM (work at home mom) stores all at one time. The boxes sell quick, so if you want one, you better start getting ready to stalk the store. I made over 40 samples for that one.
Then, and I am not complaining (lol), I had a whole lot of orders over the last two weeks keeping me very busy! I am so grateful for all the orders that I have gotten. It is really going to help my family as we are about to go into tough for us as we head into unknown territory and I can definately use all the extra money I can get right now.
So if I have not been around as much, you know why. I am busy trying to get caught up with everything.

Can you make water?


Molly can make water! And she gets so excited when she does. Two days ago, she was sitting on her potty seat. She loves to sit on the seat but never does anything. That changed two days ago. She was sitting there and all of a sudden got a funny look on her face. Stood up and yelled "Mommy Water". Yep, her pee is water according to her. She was so excited. Then yesterday, she went potty three times and each time exclaimed "Water". Then she picks up the potty seat and runs (me very close behind so she does not spill) to the bathroom so she can dump it in the big toilet and flush. She is so proud of herself. I guess my baby is growing up!

A cute story to go along with that. She was talking to my mom on the phone yesterday and I told her to tell Nana she went potty. She walked the phone over to the potty seat and held it in front of the seat so that Nana could see the potty. My little goofball!

Halloween


Halloween is probably my favorite time of year. If you ask me, it should be a national holiday and require everyone to get a week off of work and school. :0) This past weekend, we went and bought costumes. This is a picture of what Molly will look like. And anyone that knows her will tell you that the costume is quite fitting for my child. So many people tell me that Molly is an angel, and then they get to know her. To make it better, I decided to be the very same thing for Halloween. Like mother like daughter.
My husband is going to be a Fart-O-Meter. He is such a goof. It even comes with a gas mask. Then again, my son takes after him and is pretty goofy as well. My son got one of those illusion costumes. He is going to be riding a pink flamingo.
