Trio

Challenge LO

Here's one I did for this Tuesday's challenge...working on very little sleep an a little sick so not much else to say...
Mom's birthday is tomorrow just in case you guys would like to call..I won't share how old she is...cuz she has a key to the house...but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at her anyways..

Challenge LO

One I posted last Tuesday...I won the random drawing with..I liked how it turned out...

Latest LO...

Probably going to be slowing a little on the LO's until I get a little curriculum work done..still have some albums and canvases to finish..but work first right..?
BY the way...potty training moves between frustrated disgusting and hopeful elation..especially with this child... the one that at TWO is quite sure he is smarter (and he may be lately) than his momma..Just to fill you in...Helpful does not mean you take it off then dump your dump in the yard...yea it wasn't a pretty day today..
Y'all sleep tight!

Challenge LO

OK Here's the LO that I did for the 2sday challenge..it was to use a blending mode on one of the photos..I'm still so new I was a little light handed with it..but definitely a cool way to play with your photos and something that I'll be doing alot more of..
Also ..finished the Harry Potter's last tome..and well it was the best...JK Rowling..that chica.. she knows what she's doing..unlike the Sopranos I felt nothing hanging..utterly satisfied..

By  the way guys...I am almost at 1700 page views...that's incredible...thank you for taking time out of your day to check in on us..and read my little dribbles of thoughts..knowing you're out there (whether you just lurk or not) makes me feel special (not in that way) and appreciated...so Thank You!!

News on the Potty and a Late Nighter

Here's the Lo that I did for Tuesday's challenge...the challenge this week was a self-portrait..

Anyhoo...today Yaya came in amid the stampede of the baby and Cooper and the dogs...ya know barking squealing screaming..Shouts of "Gitdown, Gitdown dawg" and Coop's "Yayayayayayayayayaya"...well there was one voice conspicuously absent.."Where's Deacon?" She asked..
"Doan know" I replied (never a good answer with Deacon)...so we start to hunt...the lights in the far side are off because in the afternoon I try to keep it cool...it's intolerably hot on that side...and I have an average size house..small by some standards..so it's not like I had to go to the east wing to look for him..but no Deac..now I start flipping lights because the little bugger is small and sneaky...I flip on the light in the boys bathroom...
and there. he. is.
...on the potty...reading a
Creating Keepsakes magazine...sitting as pretty as you please...mom and I are roaring laughing...and he hides behind the magazine...pants around is ankles no diaper...on the potty ring..
I am mad that I didn't have the camera..
We he hops down and is hiding behind me..and I noticed..
HE WENT!! all by himself ..no prompt..nothing..just made up his mind and did it..
so completely Deacon...
Now I am not fool enough to believe that this wasn't a fluke but hey..I'm rolling with it...two out of diapers..what will I do...next stop another world potty tour..

Ohhh.. speaking of tour..Deacon chipped a tooth in San Antonio..not to bad but it had a sharp edge and I wasn't sure if the nerve was exposed..so we went to the dentist today..he said no nerve exposed..seems fine and used a file drill to take the edge off...because it's not IF he falls it's WHEN he falls I don't want it going through his lip...we'll keep an eye on it though..there were three other moms in there that said stuff like "When my eldest chipped his tooth"...Phew I considered writing "Evil Kneivel" in the nickname spot..now I don't feel so alone..
We had to hold him down in the chair (15-20 seconds max)..but after he got a plastic dinosaur..where he looked at her like "Where's the chocolate and dancin' girls..?? A dinosaur?" and a sticker (that he promptly stuck to my leg..)
and...he fell off the curb going out the door..only minor trip with a skinned knee but proved that I did the right thing..

Latest little Pet Project

Aside from canvas..this is what I've been doing..harder than I thought it was going to be..but this was a blast to do!!

Challenge LO

Here's the one I did for my Tuesday challenge...it was supposed to be to use ...certain colors...I think they were crazy sounding things like...watermelon, apple green and sea mist...whatever that means...so I did the best I could there..
But the week before...for whatever reason another challenge was to use those colors in a LO about your garbageman...so here 'tis...it was fun to do this...different and distracting..
I'm waiting for Ross to come in...I haven't heard anything since Saturday....and ya know...well not knowing is the worst...and the anticipation comes in a close second..I'm hoping that he arrives early...but if he does I hope he calls first...because I turn the alarm on every night and speaking as someone who has set that sucker off before...it's loud..the whole famn damily AND the neighbors will know when he is home...not that I'm complaining...just want to avoid the heart attack kinda surprise..
So Ross is you're out there checking...call first..

Late Niters

Hadn't posted in a while so I thought I'd put these out there...I was going to take out the spelling mistakes but I realized...I do these really late...so it's pretty accurate to who I am and how I am at the moment..

OK guys ...nearly 115 in the AM...and they get up early and happy...so I gotta get some shut eye..
Ciao!
