Time to pay up!

Do you see this pretty girl here? This big girl? Well as you’ve probably already heard, she finally FINALLY went potty on the toilet yesterday! I had an art class from 11am-4pm (more about that later!) and Chris decided she was gonna spend the day commando in hopes of making some progress on that whole potty-training thing. And it worked. Mad props to him! But he wasn’t the one promised all the goodies when she finally went on the potty. His mistake. We now own Erin ballet lessons, enrollment in pre-school, and a Nintendo DS! dayum. That girl was holding out for the big ticket items.

Oh holy crap!

The other day I ran across a version of Oh Holy Night that was so bloody awful it was a thing of beauty. Tears were streaming down my face it was that good bad <– exactly. Well, this morning around 5:30 AM I realized that I had that song stuck in my head. And I was re-writing the lyrics. And I could not stop. So I had to get up and write them down. I then was able to fall happily asleep again. It’s now after 9:00 PM and I’m finally sitting at my computer. And what do I see scribbled on the notebook before me? Oh holy crap! The days are quickly dwindling only six days till our dear Savior’s birth! I’m not ready, no final preparations I need to shop and what are we going to eat?

Keeping it in the family

Tonight I have to drive down to Vox Sac and pick up my photographs. Yes, my month of fame and wished-for-fortune is over. However, I have another task to attend to at Vox tonight and I’m not going down there alone. Kyle and I will be hanging his photographs for the Oct Children’s Art Show! That’s right, Kyle’s photography will be on exhibit at this month’s Second Saturday! How cool is that?! My baby’s first show! I’ve printed and mounted 6 of his pics – 4 of them are amazing car photos that I would be proud to claim as my own! That boy has got talent if I do say so myself. So come on out Saturday night and support Kyle and the other young artists. See you there!
