To work or not to work?

So, after watching a friend (Korinda) start a little photography work I started thinking..."Hey, what is stopping me from doing what I wanted to do back when I got pregnant with Austin?" I have business cards and flyers and everything, it has to be updated, but just minor details... Glover Event Planning...hmmm....should I or shouldn't I? Any thoughts or ideas???

Bathtime! and Other Things :)

So this morning I'm giving the kids a bath... Emma got in first and wants to stay in so I put Austin in to wash him up super fast and get him out so she can soak and play...It took ten minutes and very stern words to get her in and then I couldn't get her out... Jackson's bath was the most amusing...Before my mom left on her trip to India, he barely fit in the baby tub because he was too small, now he barely fits in the tub because he is too big...It's amazing how fast they grow!!! So we are all dressed and ready and heading out...not really sure where we are going but I'm sure it will be an adventure because it always is!!!

Parks and Sanity

Today we went to the park and the kids had an OK time... Although I thought it would be a lot better, they did exert some energy. They played for about two hours and decided they didn't want to be outside anymore. I'm thinking I don't make them go outside enough! So we came home, they played for a while and then Austin took his nap. Emma played Sesame Street computer games and was quiet which was almost good as being out at the park. I got to read a little, clean house and finish painting over the poop brown in the family room, now it is a pretty tan. I'm hoping to get a couple more .16 cent deals for other rooms so that they can have a little color.

Birthdays and Painting...







So, Austin is 2 now...I am so sad that he is so big, he says so many words and knows how to do so much that even just a couple of months ago were totally foreign :( He is so smart! He got many wonderful toys for his birthday but the crowning moment was a Lightening McQueen scooter and he can ride it like he was born on it...It's scary almost! We had family over this time, no friends, and had a great time! However, the house was totally trashed, so Monday I decided to do a little picking up, and one thing led to another and I decided to spruce up the house, so I started a couple of projects, painting! I painted our front door and with the help of Grampa painted the front living room wall, just enough for contrast, I totally love it...and the best part of all is that While I was shopping for the paint for the door and had to pay full price for that there was a clearance shelf at Home Depot with paints that hadn't been purchased or maybe returned for some reason and the whole can was .16 cents!!! So for 15$ I painted two things and they look marvelous! Here are the pictures of Austin's Birthday and My Painting Projects! :)
