There is a first time for everything.......

Knox is growing so big and so fast it's hard to Keep up on everything he's doing.

Yesterday we cracked out the food. He's know 4 months old and so big and fat we thought it was time. So we did rice cereal and squash. (That's my secret trick. Feed them vege's for the first little while and then they will like them as much or more then fruit. It worked for B He loves all the nasty vege's and Paris is good at eating them as well. And Blaze could not live with out Broccoli. Probley a coincidence but still i try)

Anyway Knox did good besides getting is all over, which was kinda my fault as well.

So Blaze, The last 2 weeks, has learned to watch Cartoons. It's a happy day at our house. With the big kids' i totally restricted there TV time down to like 1/2 to a hour or maybe a movie. But this kid i will do anything to get him out of trouble and out of my hair. He's always into everything. So he Digs (sorry Big Guy) Barney! Blahhh The kid's leave for school and Barney is on right then. He loves it and honestly i love the quite time to get the house organized and ready for him to rip it apart again after Barney is over. Oh but those few minutes of silence are golden.

Ok This is how i caught him today watching Barney.

I have to explain...... He's never had a Binkie. The big kids had one forever and it was so hard to get rid of so when Blaze did not like his as a baby we did not force it at all . (i don't think that was a smart thing at all since instead of a binkie at bedtime he gets a sippy cup, but i digress).
So he's taken quite a liken to knox binkie and thinks if he can steal it from Knox with out him crying he's free and clear to give it a suck.

Im starting to understand Jayme and Ali's Point of view. They did have it harder then us growing up, Only cause Mom and Dad, If there anything like i am know, Had more ideals and the right way to raise a kid and by the time Missy and I came around they were just to pooped. At least that's the way i am with my kids and they are all still small.

O' Christmas Tree

Oh i love this time of year. I keep hearing other's putting up there tree, but this year i really wanted to get some new decorations. Last year and the year before we've had glass ornaments, which with Blaze they just don't do well. So this year i really wanted Plastic ones that he could handle without us having to pull out the vacuum each time. So we were going to wait till after this weekend up in Lloyd for the tree to come up but i could not wait. So i got into lethbridge today and got the decorations.

I've also been wanting a new tree since ours is as old as our marriage is. Not that is bad but it's a little charlie brown tree. But alas I've decided to wait till after Christmas when they are practically giving them away. But Me and the little boy's ventured into town and when decoration hunting. We decided to do the classic candy cane with a bit of green for our tree.

So here it is. It's a fun one with Lot's of jingles on it. Charlie brown or not we love it!

Craft's Craft's Crafts.....

So this weekend was the second craft sale weekend for me! I work hard for a few months and cross my fingers for the best. This weekend was Cardston. Last year it was super busy busy and i did really well. This year the traffic was just not there. It was slow and I did not do as well. But i still sold and made some Christmas Money Which is super. I like the cardston sale a lot mostly cause Mom comes with me and she knows everyone and has a good visit with everyone and then Tell's me the connections that everyone has. So all in all it was a fun weekend for sure.

This coming up weekend is Lloyd Minster sale I'm doing with Lara this year. I've got my fingers crossed that it will go as good as last year. I kinda think people are scared to go out cause of the Piggy flu?

This is the last craft sale this year then I'm finishing up my orders and being done for dec. so i can do all my own sewing I've been wanting to do! Yea I've got about 6 quilts i want to get done plus some super sweet bag's i just got patterns for. YEA my own sewing!
