Duplicity

Can I duplicate myself? I have so much to do this weekend. Having another one of me would be wonderful! We've got a rehersal party tonight. A bachelor party tonight. A bachelorette party tonight. A company picnic tomorrow that we're taking pics of. Wonderland tomorrow night that we're also doing pics at. The wedding of wonderful friends on sunday that we're taking pics of. Photos from last weekend that need to be edited. A house that needs to be cleaned. A website that needs to be redesigned. And did I mention school starts in just a few short weeks? We still need new jeans, new shoes, haircuts, registration......the list goes on and on. I'm going back to bed to take a nap.

Crochet

Jaz and I are teaching ourselves to crochet. It's been interesting so far. LOL We bought a kit at Hobby Lobby yesterday and we've been making chains ever since. :) We found a great lady on youtube that gives wonderful instructions! She has over 500 videos. The best part is that they're all free. She's very thorough and explains what she's doing. She goes in slow motion so that you are certain of what you are doing. If anyone is interested here is her link with all her videos.

days....

31 days until school starts. Where did summer vacation go? We've got so much to do and not enough time to do it in! What am I going to do with myself with only one child at home?

151 days until christmas vacation. Or in other words 4 months, 4 weeks and 1 day. (Not that I'm counting or anything!) How that acutally ends up being 4 months instead of 5 months I dunno. But it sounds better to only have to wait 4 more months instead of 5. :)

8 more days until I launch a new Etsy shop. :) Hopefully I'll be able to have it open by Aug. 1st. I've only been getting 6-8 hours a week at work for the last 4 weeks. I've got to do something! So be on the lookout for photo t's, custom wall quotes, signs, and vinyl for your car. Who knows, I may just throw in something new and exciting every now and then. :)

I'm not April

To the people continuing to call my cell phone for April so-and-so, get it through your thick skull that I'm not April, I don't know an April, I'm not pretending to be an April, my third cousin once removed isn't April, the lady across the street isn't April and No, I'm not April! Got it? Now quit calling me every flippin hour and using up my minutes to find your long lost April who hasn't paid her bills. UGH~!!!!!!!!

Todays the day

Todays the day we clean out the old playroom and transform it into a sewing room. The kiddos have decided that they would like to stay together in one room rather than be apart in two different rooms. Fine by me! I'm sure Jaz will change her mind in a few years when she officially gets into the teenage years, but for now, I won't argue with her. :) So we're taking down all the baby stuff....crib, high chair, bouncy and the like and will be giving them to a good friend. So that means I have a whole room devoted to sewing and crafting. I can finally get it all off the kitchen table. Wait! We have a kitchen table?!?!? LOL Yes we do! Just haven't been able to see it lately. It's under all my stuff! So when the transformation is complete I'll post pics for you all to enjoy. Bye for now.

Accident prone

I think my 3rd child is accident prone and likes to scare mommy with blood. First we had the incident at the track where she ran into the tailgate of a truck. Blood all over her head. Today I hear screams coming from the bedroom and find more blood. This time coming out of her mouth. She tripped over her toys and bit her lip......quite badly in mommas eyes. There is a gouge about the length of two teeth and the width of one tooth. Her little lip is swollen. Looks like she got into a fight. Into the tub she went. She enjoyed an endless supply of popcicles. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

Santa Hat

This post is for mom. This is the hat I want to make for the girls for christmas. Even Jaz thought it was cool. Whatcha think? Dunno about the big flower but I like the fluff around the edges that makes it seem like a santa hat. It comes from youcanmakethis.com You can click this link and it will take you to the page.

I just don't know if I'll have the patience to try to figure it out. LOL. Whatcha think?

Update

Hey all! It's been awhile. I've been told by numerous parties that I need to blog more. Sorry bout that. Life if just crazy busy at times. Lets see, what has happened in the last few months

I had a birthday, yup, I'm another year older.

We went home to ND for Brad & Carissas wedding. We had a great time and it was way, way to short!

The kids now know that we are going to DisneyWorld for Christmas. They're beyond excited!

We got awesome airfare for said trip. $59 each way outta Dallas. That's an unheard of price!!! We'll have to drive to Dallas but it will be worth it.

Jaz went to enrichment camp for a week. She had a great time.

We found out that Jaz is now officially in the Gifted and Talented program. Woohoo!!!

We had a state qualifier BMX race at our local track. Jaz did great but it will be the only state qualifier she'll get to go to so I dunno if she'll be invited to race the ROC or not. Time will tell.

Jacey is excited to be starting pre K in the fall. We've got her backpack ready and the majority of school supplies bought.

Jacey is mastering her bike. She's getting to the point of almost being ready to take off her training wheels.

Phoenix had an accident. :( She ran into the tailgate of a truck and took a good gouge out of her forehead. She's gonna have a scar. :(

We're still working on potty training P. I'm not pushing it in any way, shape or form. She'll do it when she's good and ready.

The window of our van fell down. The arm that holds it up is broken and we're trying to find the parts to replace it. So now it's fixed the redneck way with duct tape. :)

I got a tshirt press to make shirts for our trip. Also I hope to sell photo t's on ebay. :) I'll have pics of the shirts up soon.

Robert got his diploma in the mail and it made it all seem so much more real for him that he's got his associates degree.

I've been out of commission for awhile. I've had some serious teeth issues and finally got them resolved yesterday. I found an amazing dentist who brought me into the office on a sunday to get me out of pain. So needless to say I'm looped up on pain killers. :)

My hours at work have been cut back to 9......yes 9 hours for the whole week. It's been that way for the last two weeks and I don't know when it will change. So I possibly see some change in my future. My goal is to be able to stay home and edit photos, sell photo t's and custom vinyl for cars and walls on ebay.

Rob has two wedding shoots in the next three weeks. He's nervous but I know he'll do great!!!

Well, that's pretty much got y'all up to speed on the Lindseth household. I hope to blog more regularly now. :)
