Randomness

All the random stuff I haven't had time to blog about because of Konnor's early arrival, Katie's rescheduled bday party and the total insanity that comes with 3 kids in the house! :-)

A couple weeks before Konnor was born, my friend Stephanie emailed me that she'd won yet another giveaway on a blog. (She's so lucky!) This time she won 6 gluten free mixes from Mixes from the Heartland and she was having them sent to us. I think I'm most excited to try out the biscuit mix. Thank you, Steph! You're the sweetest!



A special little girl I know turned 3 on Feb 14th and I made a poster for her party. She and Katie are the gymboree queens! She came up to the hospital to visit "her new friend Konnor" and looked so sweet holding him.



I had planned to make a Welcome Baby sign for Konnor, but instead I was cuddling my sneaky little guy during what were supposed to be those last "get everything ready" days.

We were really surprised to get a pkg from my bow lady when I knew I hadn't ordered any new bows lately. I opened it up to find this adorable burpie. Yet another one of her talents! I have in an order now for a friend who'll be having a little baby boy in Apr.


On Mon evening, we made Berry Fluff Cake. I'd been wanting to try it since I first saw the recipe and let me tell you, it was super yummy! I can't wait to try it with another flavor of berries. I really want to find a gluten free angel food cake so that Bugs can have it with us next time.

The night that Konnor was born, I had just returned from running some errands when my water broke. It was a great night at Walgreens! I came home with Dove men's body wash, 2 Covergirl powders, Dawn dish soap, and a pk of Huggies diapers. I paid right at $9 plus got $3 in RR. I'll also use the reciept to send in for the P&G Coupon Book.

Last Sunday, Kelton had his first belt test at Tae Kwon Do. He did great!! He's now a yellow stripe!




Now that Konnor is 3 wks old, it's probably time I get my thank you notes out. I had started making them before he got here, but like everything else they didn't get finished since he came early. Yvette gave me all the supplies for Xmas, but Carrie picked them out and designed the card.


After 3wks of no bargain shopping, I was ready to try a little yesterday! My best deal was at Target. We love Kashi products and I've been waiting forever for it to go on sale again. I even let some coupons expire knowing that I'd surely find more and soon enough there'd be a sale to pair them with. I'd LOVE for it to stay on sale another week, so I can go back to get more because I got 10 boxes for $13.92! We also ran to Walmart for fabric and I found some that I couldn't pass up and decided Konnor needed just one more blanket! Needless to say, the trip totally wiped me out and I spent most of today resting.



Konnor continues to be a little sweetheart!!



He definitely loves to cuddle!



Jasmine isn't sure what to think!


And what's hotter than a man doing the dishes?
A Daddy slinging his baby!
