The Garfield's house in October.

Some pictures

ok, so I finally downloaded my pictures to my computer, for some reason I hate doing that. So that's my excuse for why it's taking so long to post, that and I found out I'm severely low on iron so that's the reason why I can't walk my pregnant self more than 3 feet without feeling like I'm going to pass out. These are just a few random pictures from the past month:

Owen had his 6th birthday last month, on his birthday I dropped him off at school and had 2 hours to paint his entire room, and make his bed with his new Pottery Barn Star Wars bedding! This is his new bed, with his new toys after he opened all his presents.

His cake, I know it's not professional, I'm not a cake decorator.

These are the kids at Hee Haws, they love it there and look forward to going all year.

This is Gracie in her happy place, she LOVES horses!

This is our fire pit in the backyard, two seconds after taking this picture a spark flew from the fire and landed right under her nose, lets just say it was drama.

The kids in front of the house before Hee Haws, of course not all three will look at me at the same time.

Other things going on with The Garfields:

Millie is in the midst of potty training, she has not had an accident for 2 days, hopefully she will be all trained by her birthday which is in 2 weeks.

Owen is doing good in school, we were so worried about him and his hyperactivity, but his teacher says he is just fine, and is very, very smart for his age.

Gracie has made so many new friends, and they are all close by, so she is always off playing with someone, she loves that she can walk to her friends house by herself, she is so grown up.

I'm now in my 3rd trimester, and am 8 months pregnant. I still haven't found a name I like, and the baby room is still a storage room, so I guess I need to get around to doing something about that. I'm getting my hair done next week for the first time in 2 years!! (Thanks Melissa) I'm such a procrastinator when it comes to my hair, I always wait until it's disgusting before I do anything about it, and right now it's really, really bad. I'm in the process of buying Lindsey's half of the store from her, so I'm now running it all by myself. If anyone wants to help design page kits let me know!

So now that I have lots of pictures on my computer, hopefully I will post a little more often!

just a little summary...

So expo was a huge success, we sold so much on Friday morning, that we had almost nothing left on Saturday, so Lindsey and I just sat and talked which was nice after the last few months of non- stop work. I think I'm going to pace myself a little better this time. It's nice to know that so many people want and like our page kits that we spend so much time working on, so we had a really good time, and the kids will have a normal mom again, at least for the next few weeks.

Sunday and Monday were spent cleaning my house, and pulling out the Halloween and Fall decorations, to make my house more homey. The kids love when it's time to decorate and they had an absolute blast. So I have a (semi) clean house, that looks comfy, and smells of pumpkin spice, it's my favorite time of year. I can't wait for leaf piles, pumpkin patches, and a corn maze. I love it!

Owens birthday is on Thursday, he is turning 6 years old! (And he still hasn't out grown the craziness that people keep telling me will happen). All he is wants is Star Wars everything, and Lego Batman for his playstation. I got him all the cute Star Wars bedding from Pottery Barn, so when he gets home from school, his whole room will be done up. Then he will have his party with his friends on Friday, we are going to roast marshmellows in the fire pit, and bob for apples. He can't wait.

Jeff has been working hard between work, and fixing this house up to my specifications, I think he needs a vacation more than anyone, but he never complains. He just enjoys making our lives better for us by doing anything and everything he can. As for me, now that I have time to breathe, I have been trying to remind myself that I'm going to have another child in just a few short months. This pregnancy had been about the last thing on my mind ever since I got pregnant, when people ask me when I'm due, it takes me a second to figure out what they are talking about! It sure is different between your first and your fourth.

Just one more thing, Happy Birthday to Max!!! My cute little nephew is turning 6 today, and I haven't seen him for 2 years now. I can't wait for the day to have my sister and her kids close to us again. (Mom give him and extra big hug from his Aunt Kate).

As soon as I find my camera, I will add some pictures because a post is never the same without some. Love to you all.

school days...

Gracie's first day of school.

Millie on Gracie's first day of school.

Owen's first day of school. (He finally started kindergarten, I have been waiting years...)

Millie on Owen's first day of school. (Today)

It's been almost a month since my last post and here's why: We moved, painted the entire exterior of our house, including doors, shutters, railings, etc. We had weddings in the family, Lagoon Days, many other projects around the house, started school, and last but not least, designed and packaged thousands of kits. (Thanks Mom).

Expo is only 3 weeks away and although we have gotten soooo much done, I am in full panic mode because we are no where near being ready, and basically we are running out of time. Our kits are selling faster than we can package, which is good, but we are going to have nothing left for expo, not to mention St. George in Nov.

So you might not be hearing or seeing lots of me lately, unless you are Lindsey of course who is probably sick of seeing me at this point, but I've gotta do, what I've gotta do, and the laundry can wait.

how old is she?

Today as I was trying to get stuff done, Millie was sitting next to me entertaining herself by making up songs, once I realized what she was doing I started listening to what she was actually singing, something about, "so and so is SO handsome, and something something handsome" seriously every other word was handsome. So I asked her what she was singing, and she said:

"I Hannah Tanna, mom, Hannah Tanna"

Seriously?

Then she broke out with: "I best of both worlds"

She's not even 3 yet, I'm already worried.
