GREAT NEWS!!! We are expecting Baby #3 right after Christmas!!! We really couldn't be any more excited, really. Well, I am. And I am SICK!!! I hate it. It's been three months of nausea and throwing up. You'd think I wouldn't look like a blown up cow, but I still do. I have the biggest "baby bump" that shouldn't really be there because baby is like millimeters long! Argh! Soooo sick. Constant nausea. I don't remember it being like this with Beck and Paisley. I remember being a little sick, but I can't barely function. I actually take naps every once in a while because I just can't get outta bed. I never like being pregnant before, but I considered myself pretty lucky. Just munching on lemon heads and saltines, but this is different. I can't even get myself to dress cute that often anymore!!! Ahhh! Hopefully the nausea is going away now that I am three months, but as I type this... I think not.... bleh.
and Paisley is potty trained!!!
Potty training has got to be one of the WORST things a mommy/daddy has to do. Everyone warns you about getting babies to sleep thru the night and the terrible twos, but not many people say much about potty training. To tell you the truth I never thought much about it?!?! Potty training Beck was difficult. I started too early (for him) and then I don't remember much about how it actually happened because I think that I tried to block those months from my brain forever! And he still has accidents/pees on my wall... blah blah... and he's still not potty trained thru the night (Exactly what he wants to be reading to his friends from his mom's journals right?) So then it was Paisley's turn. I think I tried a total of 4 separate times after she turned 3- maybe I even tried when she was 2? I don't remember, I think that I did because I heard that girls were easier? Yeah, whatever. She just didn't get it. So I kept giving up. I'd go a few days, if I made it that long and then throw her back in a diaper. So on Sunday I don't know what clicked. I just said, "ok with new baby coming, I gotta get this party started.... again." and she had no accidents even after driving all the way to Othello for nephew Taryn's Eagle Scout Award ceremony and then the next day she only had one accident, Tuesday none, and Wednesday she did (TMI) poop in her pants, but I was finishing up teaching a gymnastic class and she didn't have my full undivided attention, so I forgave her. But I hope and think and pray that this is it?!?!?! Sooo excited! Yeah! Not too mention, her little chonied bum is pretty darn cute.... :)

I taught an Art class at a local private school called Kimber Academy. IT WAS HEAVEN!!! So much fun teaching the kids how to redo chairs! The kids bought their own chairs and fabric and we took them all apart, sanded, primed, and spray painted! And a staple gun for the fabric and we were finished. It was lots of fun and the kids did a great job!Above is Auri's After and below is her chair BeforeEmily's BeforeAnd AfterHanna's BeforeAnd Piper with Hanna's After.

A couple of projects I have finished. I have been having a rough time with blogger trying to post our New York pictures and trip itinerary. I have almost given up With the whole Thing. Problem being the amount of pictures I am trying to post and the order that they post in, I can't seem to switch them around if they get in the right order. And then trying to backspace blank space I deleted like 30 pictures by accident that take 2-3 minutes a piece to upload. Thankfully I didn't throw my computer across the room but I was thisclose... So until I calm down and my computer cooperates there will be no New York posts for a while :)
