I'm a Big boy & I'm STRONG

Well lil O finally made the transition to a big boy bed. I have had a toddler bed in the basement for a few months now and every time I wanted to set it up dh would be like "why, he is not complaining about it, he does not try to get out. Just because other kids are in one does not mean he needs to be....and so on...... I do not think daddy was ready..lol
Me I was all excited to show him the big boy bed. I held off as long as I could but I feel it is/was the time for a few reasons:
#1 he is 3yrs old
#2 he goes to bed without any issues(so I had a feeling he would not be a problem)
#3 can not hold him back.

So I set up his toddler bed before his nap time. Lil O was helping and then asked why I was taking it down (because I put it together wrong for the bed rails) when done he crawled right into his new bed laid down and pulled the covers up then looked up at me and said "this is my bed". I asked if he wanted to take his nap in his new big boy bed he nodded his head. When I went to close the door he asked for me to leave his light on (why I do not know, so I did. turned it off when he fell asleep) When it was time for bedtime I asked Lil O what bed he was going to sleep in and he pointed to the crib saying his name and that he'd sleep in there, then he pointed to the toddler bed and said it that for baby.. I said no that is a big boy bed for a big boy and then pointed to the crib and said that was for a baby boy. I asked him if he was a big boy he said yes then I asked why does a big boy want to sleep in a baby's bed. He thought for a moment then said no I am a big boy, I sleep in big boy bed. That was it he crawled in and cuddled with he's froggy, baby, bear and Mr Monkey. I turned the lights out and he stayed in bed as fell asleep he woke calling for me at 7:30am.... I am so proud he did not fall out..lol In the morning I asked if he had a good sleep he said "yup" I then asked if he liked his big boy bed "yup, I am a big boy and I am strong" (flexing his muscles as he said this) My response Yes you are little man yes you are.

Well after almost 3months

AF found me yet again. A little cramping but not much. I think I am a little distracted because I am the new owner of a canon 50D, I was not expecting this till the new year sometime...I just drooled at it on the computer A LOT...he must of saw... and was tired of it...lol

Since I am looking into taking more sport shots of soccer, football and wrestling this camera will be great...I LOVE my man....now I feel guilty for my XTi (you won't be forgotten)

RIP Unlce Jack

My aunt the one I mentioned below lost her life partner, husband, friend today. They only been married 3days. I am so sorry Auntie Marg

He passed at 6am this morning. Rest in Peace Jack Rest in Peace.

Bittersweet

Today my mum called and told me that my Auntie M is getting married today (which is great). My aunt has been with J for about 20yrs, life was good for them... A little over a month ago J was taken to the hospital and they discovered his cancer was back and in the stomach. J was/is not doing to great so on one visit he announced to my mum he was going to marry her sister.

J was sent home and he lasted a week at home before ending up back in the hospital and has been there since. It almost seemed like the marriage was not going to take place because M was with J most of the time so others set things in motion for them to get married (one of J's sons and a neighbor friend) J was moved to a hospice the other day and today is the day they decided to say "I Do"

This is why it is bittersweet, they love each other, and for J he wants to make sure my Aunt M is taken care of after he is gone.

this photo I took of them back in 2003

What no smiles here

apparently it is hard to smile with these two. Well they were not so thrilled with the fake web stuff the neighbor put out..

Trick or Treat.........We survived Halloween...

Took the boys to the Mall's Marvelous Maskoween Party today, 1st time Halloweeners and they did really well. Lil O was not scared he kept yelling out Oh mamma look at the monsters {pause} Hi monsters HI as he is waving like mad...lol


We then watched a magic show (which I think went on a bit to long for the kids about 45mins) the kids all had a blast. The guy was good but by the time he was done they were all ready to take off.


Then we went and made a mask (mommy tried not to help to much) he did well.


He would not wear the mask at 1st then I tried it out and M took a photo (photo will come later) and then Ri tried it (that too will come later) and then Lil O wanted to give it a shot:
Could not get him to take it off after that...lol

Here he is leaving with dad to go Trick or Treating for the very 1st time

When they came back Dh said that he did say the Trick or Treat part and when he got the treats he'd look a dh and say "Ok lets go to the next house" He also wanted to go into the neighbors house next door she did let him in and when he said TorT to her she said of for the here you go and dumped a hand full into his bag. Geesh he is all ready working it...lol

It was a really nice day for Halloween today since we had a blizzard this time last year. Thought we would of had more kids at the door but again maybe 20 or 30 came....maybe the just do not like to come into the Cul-de-sac.

Nothing like saving our youngest by the seat of his pants..

literally I did.

We went to a kids play area and Ri was playing of one of the climbing things and jumping up saying boo to all. Another mom started to play all with him and he got all excited that he went on his hands an knees to peek out of one of the holes but since he is still a little top heavy he started to fall out the hole head 1st. I was on the other side of the slide so I reached over the slide and grabed a hold of his pants by the waist just before his head hit the ground (it is matted the ground) and he was kind of hanging till and could lay him down. When I looked up breifly I saw all the other moms looking at me with there mouths open and a few said OMG. I knelt and pick up Ri and hugged him till his scare left him..... Just call me Momma Ninja

By golly I think I may just be O'ing

I have the O pain happening so I POAOS (peed on a Ovulation stick) and came up with 2 lines.... the bad part DH and I feel like crap our boys shared there colds with us. Do what ya gotta do right.

My new favorite cleaning tool

I had this burnt stain on my stove for the longest time and when I was out the other day I saw this scrub brush and thought what the hey..

Before:

After
Love it
dh was even impressed it is nice because I used no chemicals was so ever

Update on AF

Well no update really she still is not here....arrival date was to be Sept 20, guess she decided to skip out on me.....Hmmm not sure how I feel on that yet.

A Skunk and an Elephant.....

I went to the mall the other day to meet up with my sisters friend to get books 2 & 3 of the Twilight series, when we parted ways I went and signed the boys up to play in the Let's Play area and we had to wait an hour. I walked around and ended up in Old Navy where they had some kids costumes on sale $20.00 not much choice for boys but they had a couple that I hummed and hawed over. There was a Skunk and a Bat in Lil O's size but when he got a good look at the bat he did a weird shiver squishy face thing and said " oh oh that scary" I looked at it again and thought um yeah it is a little scary, it had pointy ears buck teeth with the tongue hanging out and evil looking eyes and the flapping wings so I passed on it and tried the skunk on Lil O and oh the comments that people made when the walked by him he'd shake his tale smile up at them and announce he was a skunk. For Ri well there was an elephant and it was to cute on him to pass up. I took them to the mirror so they could see themselves and the giggles and shakes they were doing and people laughing at them as they walked by. Do you think I could get it off Lil O when I went to buy it Nope I had to rip the tage off so the girl could scan it thru..lol

I took these with my new point and shoot camera (I wanted a pocket camera for those days I did and do not want to carry around my dSLR)

Sorry no update tonight

it is almost 2am, what am I still doing up you ask....Well I had to scan some receipts for our accountant since I forgot to give dh my photography receipts so I scanned and sent them off in an email. Then the internet sucked me in....

She was fun to work with, look forward to shoot her again.

O looky it is a band aid

Lil O some how got his finger caught in the baby gate and in doing so cut his finger, screaming crying and squeezing mommy or daddy so tight in the process....then he calmed down. After daddy was done washing it I came in with the band aid...he looked at me like that is going where?? When I was done getting it on lil O announced "All better mama, thank you"

Guess it was not so bad...

Look who's 3

Man he has grown



Here he is today.


Sorry the shot is not so great, he would not stay still and Ri was hanging onto me..lol

Not good news when the Dr calls

Dr S called just now (fertility clinic) and informed me that my last FSH # jumped to 34 then went on to say the it most likely that I may not get pg again and to even have a good outcome if I do. If by miracle I do get pg I am to call her asap...



She said that she see this a lot in women that have Uterine Anomalies and that she was sorry.... my only response was "Yeah for infertility"...

I feel empty and that my body has yet again betrayed me. So now I am sitting here with tears falling down my cheeks.

Well I am very very grateful for my 2 boys.

Well it looks like the O fairy

may come to visit. I was at Co-op the other day and they had a sale bin and in it was an Ovulating kit (5 sticks) for $8 bucks I snatched it up.


Two dark lines to say that I shall be O'ing in 24-36 hours so of course we did the deed. Now the 2ww begins.

Sorry to those that opened this post and saw 2 lines 1st....nope not pg yet.
