Big Announcement! IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

One is the loneliest number......or maybe not!
Truthfully, the visit went quite well, and we were sad to see them go so quickly. We played Rock band, cards, and only had one vomiting incident!
I will say feeding 11 kids at one time is quite the chore! We are used to having large groups at our home. Since we are the midpoint in my family, we often have family things here, but there is usually a higher adult-to-kid ratio. And again, the girls were out numbered 7-4.
The Jackson's left Thursday, and Blake started his new job on Friday!
Even BIGGER news....Andrew is an official Kindergartner! He got his shots and didn't even cry! What a brave boy! He loves school and his teacher so far! He looked SO cute carrying his school bag in and getting off the bus the first day! Here are all the kids on their first morning of school!
And what is that????? That is a 2 year old with his shoes on. Why? Because he thought he was going to school too! Are those tears??? YES they are! He was not a happy boy being left at home all alone!
So what does a mom do with a very sad 2 year old???
Give him a paintbrush, a block, and some paint! Duh!!!!!
He made quite the mess, but he was SO proud of his block, and enjoyed painting with mommy! Today is the kids fourth day of school, and EVERY morning so far, he has gotten his shoes on and asked me, "mommy, we go?" The first day of school we went grocery shopping, the second day we went shopping for craft supplies for a baby gift i was working on, the third day we went to the park for 2 hours. So far today, I have been able to hold him off, but it looks like a trip to Target is in our future. Though, that is probably a mom thing, not a Sam thing! :)
And here is my project I complete while Sam was painting. It is a gift of a friend having her first baby! The frame is about 25x20. If you look closely at the frame, you can see hints of pink and green coming through the cream paint! I love making things for little girls! So fun!
Now, I just have a Super Saturday to plan (anyone got ideas for some great craft projects!) and I want to get my Etsy shop up and running! It has been a BIG adjustment having Blake back at work, 4 of the 5 kids in school, and the house to Sam and myself. I forget too how much a 2 year old needs to be entertained without 4 others around! I see lots of play dates in our future!!
Hope the school year is starting off great for you all too! Once again, I feel so lucky to live just across from the school. I can be a lazy mom, and still get my kids to school on time!

Replacement part.....PLEASE!
When will I learn? Probably never. I really need like a three second delay to keep me from doing stupid things like smelling pee-soaked underwear, calling someone's wife a "molly mormon", making the ill timed joke; then there was the time I thought I was sending my sister Jessica a funny news story, but instead it seemed I had accidentally sent an off-color news story to my Bishop! (thankfully, I had ONLY sent it to my Sister-in-law who is aware of my lack of common sense), and to keep me from just plain ole' saying the wrong thing at just the right time!
So my question....how do I get a replacement part for that filter that I evidently didn't get, or have somehow broken?
I think I may count to three each time before I speak. Thankfully, for every stupid thing I say, it does seem like I say 10 or so intelligent things. Or at least I think i do??????
I am certainly learning to think before I speak. Just wish I didn't embarrass myself so in the process!
So, if anyone has a part number for "Stupid Comment Mouth Filter" and "Common Sense Housewife Chip" I would be greatly appreciative! Otherwise, look forward to many more lovely stories about my rather unfortunate mistakes!
