I got CRAPPED on!

We made it to the garage sales! My sister bought 2 books and spent $2.00! I did spend a bit more and found a few clothing items for the girls. I got 2 winter coats for Sweet Baby Girl for $2.00 each. One of them looks like its never been worn! I found some baby boy socks that look new and 2 outfits. Most of the sales had tons of girl clothes. We also saw alot of infant car seats (which I would never buy a used one unless I knew who's it was and that is wasn't in any accidents). There were some sales that had small toys but very dirty. I thought most people would have cleaned up there stuff a bit before trying to sell it. Might have sold faster. We happen to run into my grandparents who gave us a sample of the Homemade Amish Donuts they bought. Very tasty. We had to go get our own!

After the sales we went to pick up the girls! They didn't seem to have missed me as much as would have liked. Sweet Baby Girl was more interested in the little puppy! The babysitter seemed to have kept the girls busy and they can't wait to go back! They even got their toenails painted. We went to lunch after that at the Cafe with my cousin and my grandparents.

After lunch we went back to my sister's house to clean up our things and rest a bit before we headed for home. Well, did I ever get crapped on! I was getting Sweet Baby Girl into her car seat and all of sudden out of the blue something wet a gooey hit my arm. I look at it to find that I was crapped on by a bird! Very yucky. Then after cleaning that up we head out. As I was heading down the road my gas light came on. Ok fine I will put gas in. So I pull into the ONLY station in town and the pump wouldn't work. It said pay attendant. So I went in and the lady tells me I can not get gas because the pumps are not working. Ok I have 3 kids in my van and my gas light is on. I really didn't want to go to far looking for gas and happen to run out with 3 kids in the van who were almost asleep already. So we headed to a near by town to get gas. Just roughly 3 miles out of our way. But I felt better doing that than heading to the bigger town and taking a chance of running out completely on our way. So when I have the kids and most other times I do the pay at the pump thing. Saves me time in having to get the kids out and take them in to pay. So I did that. Got back in the van and buckled. Right as my seat belt clicked Rose says "Well, I do need to go to the bathroom". So we all got out and went inside to go potty. I felt like I was never going to get home. I was so tired. After that all went well and we made it home.

The first official "babysitter"

So I have hired the first official "babysitter" for my girls. In my town I have talked about it with a few other mothers but never hired anyone mainly because I don't know anyone old enough to hire. Well, tonight I am going to my sisters house and in the morning we are going to some garage sales. The town next to my sister has citywide sales and I am sure its nothing to get too excited about but I felt a babysitter would be a good idea. I mean really how much garage saling can you do with 3 little girls? So I have hired my cousin who thankfully lives in the same town as my sister. She is 16 years old and I am sure the girls will have a lot of fun. It will only be for about 3 hours. That's if the sales are good! Wouldn't it be great to find a BRAND NEW double stroller in the box yet at garage sale price! Yes, I am dreaming. I will let everyone know if I catch any good deals. My plan is to be up, showered and have all 3 girls ready at 8am! Oh and my sister ready too!

A farmer's wife!

I visited Rose's preschool today for a conference with her teacher. She had a very good report. I found one thing funny. I was able to see the progress Rose has made in her drawings. The most recent drawing of a person just happen to be me! She drew a baby in my tummy. The baby even had its mouth, nose and eyes! It is just the cutest thing!

About 2 weekends ago when I was working at a Carnival for my daycare association alittle boy from Rose's preschool came to my game. I recognized him and asked if he was N- and if he knew my daughter Rose. This little boy is the cutest thing. Little boy face with glasses. I wish I had a picture of him. He looked at me and said "Yes, I know Rose, I am going to marry her". He didn't hesitate when answering me or even think about it. He knew right way what he wanted to tell me. His mom told me that he comes home everyday after school and he always tells her about Rose!

Well today at preschool I found out that they have talked about what they want to be when they grow up. Well N- told the class he wanted to be a farmer and Rose was going to be his wife! Then when it was Rose's turn she told the class she wanted to be a teacher. I guess N- told her she was going to be his wife and she can not be a teacher.

They grow too fast

Today I finally got to cleaning the hallway closet. I have wanted to take 10 minutes and clean it all week. I came across a couple pictures. I took a picture of them to get them on the computer. So much faster than trying to figure out my scanner. I can not believe how fast the girls are growing. I just love this picture of The Dancer and Rose. They were 4.5 and 2.5 years old. Rose still had all her curls! I miss those curls. They grow up too fast.

Baby Gift

I find this kind of funny. My hubby is not a shop ahead kind of guy. He waits to buy things until the last minute. Like last week one night he told me at 7:06pm that he was out of deodorant. I had just been to Wal-Mart the night before and asked him if he needed anything and he told me no. So I told him he had to get it or wait. So he waited until the next night. And he was completely out! Yeah, stinky!

Anyways, I have bought some things for the baby. Mostly things I have found on sale or clearance. I like to be prepared. I don't want to all of a sudden be holding a naked baby with nothing to put him in. Bad enough he might not have a name. Hubby thinks I should wait to buy things later. Well today he comes home after a visit to the Harley Davidson shop. I suppose he wanted to google over his dream motorcycle. His dad has a Harley and he thinks he needs one. Well he bought a piggy bank for the baby! He was very excited about it. Almost like if he got his own Harley. So jokingly I said to Rose and Hubby "Let's name the baby Harley". Rose said "No David". She has brought this name up before and we can not figure out where she heard it from. I asked her where she heard it and all she says is "I just like it".

No I won't name my baby Harley Davidson Wynn! Sorry not doing it!

Wordless Wednesday

Almost a Wordless Wednesday! My Hubby's cousin and his girlfriend had a baby this week!! A new member in the Wynn Family!

Some updates!

Well, I have some things to share.

The little boy I have posted about, Stellan, spent 5.5 weeks in the hospital. He ended up taking a trip to Boston to have surgery. Well good news, he's now on his way home to MN to be with his family. He is doing well. If you are interested in his story it has been on the ABC news and the link to the mother's blog is located on the lower right corner of my blog.

I have been elected Vice President of my local Daycare Association! We enjoyed voting last night as well as a potluck dinner.

I did get an update on Friday about Baby O. It sounded like he was doing better as far as he was looking more alert and was able to wake up on his own and be ready to eat. I have not heard anything since Friday. As of Friday he was still in the hospital. My friend said in her email that on Friday he was looking more like her little son!
