I'm in a funk...

I'm in a major funk the last couple of days.  I'm guessing it is the weather.  I just can't get motivated.  I managed it for a couple hours on Sunday and did some major cleaning but that is about it.  Grr.  I hate these kinda moods.  I need to get motivated...

SwagBucks

Megan is the death of me again.  Now she got me hooked on Swagbucks.  I have 12---I want a Wii so I figured I would follow her example!!  All you do is search and occasionally you get point.  The more you search the more often you get points (it seems).  Plus if you join, I get a referral bonus!!

Crunchy mama!

Before C was born, everyone tried to convince me that there were things that I just wasn't going to do, no matter how much I wanted to.  This included breast feeding, cloth diapering, co-sleeping...you get the drift.  All those things that a crunchy mama does.  Ironically enough, I did every one of them (probably cause I'm stubborn!!).  I even got a little into baby wearing though not as much as I would have liked.  But the other day, I decided to wear Z because I was busy and he was fussy with this darn cold he can't shake.  It only lasted a minute because that kid is way too big for my pod like sling I have (note to self--take a baby wearing class with the next kid)  I handed Z off to his dad and the backpack carrier.  But the damage was done.  C wanted to play with the sling and then she wanted her own.  I finally fashioned one out of a little bit of white fabric I had left over from some curtains I put up in the old house. 
She wore her baby the rest of the night...
(my mother in law is going to have a cow...I turned my baby crunchy and she is only 2!! LOVE IT!!)

My crunchy baby C

Rumparooz

First, I have to tell you about my friend Megan over at NewlyWedNewlyBred.com.

She is absolutely fabulous and a great resource (fueler of addictions!) She is currently starting her 15 day give away and I think everyone should check her out...because again she is fabulous!!

Second!! My rumparooz arrived yesterday...and I'm in LOVE!! Here is an action shot of my little dare devil child!!

I ordered new diapers :)

I ordered new diapers this weekend. Really yummy ones. I ordered a rumparooz (which my friend Megan) just raves about. It is a pocket diaper, which we have never really used so I am excited to get it. Plus it is a super cute, WHALE PRINT, which is adorable.

Then for daycare I got:
a Thirsties AIO, in red
3 BG AIOs, blue (which we already have one), orange, and green
a Gro Baby with 2 extra soakers - kiwi green

I am trying to hurry up and prep the soakers cause I want to play with them. I have never really used any AIOs except the BG which we got a couple of months ago to try.

And...my baby, CW, potty trained this week. It is a happy occasion BUT it is the end of my baby using my pretty diapers. Now I only have one in diapers...

I love beautiful days!!

We had a great day around here, the weather is beautiful and we got a ton of stuff done outside. We got some ornamental grasses that needed to be planted so we got that done and then we picked up all the reminants of summer projects. Then after that we cleaned up the back patio and moved the grill and furniture down. Plus hubby got some of the tubing buried so it is half done!!

What a wonderful and productive day :)

Garage

I'm happy to announce....I cleaned the garage. I didn't move anything out, but I "neatly" stacked things over in one corner. We have a huge space to the side of our cars but they have cool cabinets that I don't want to block. For now, it is all stacked, but eventually we will get through it and put it away (like when the basement is cleaned in order to stack stuff down there.
But at least you can pull BOTH cars in!!

Family party

I am currently out of town visiting the inlaws. It was a really great day. Z and C wore themselves out playing with everyone. I'm looking forward to a week at home to finish products, but I love visiting!
More later!!
