My Mom the Grandma

Seriously, is there anything more heartwarming than seeing how much your mom loves your kids? I love that my mom adores her grandchildren so much. She is so involved with them. Just last weekend she had her annual "Grandson's Sleepover." She got the four grandson's and took them on a night out with her; then they watched a movie and had a sleepover @grandma's. My son looks so forward to that time with her. When I tell him we are going to Grandma Patti's house, he runs to the car. I love that he adores her. I do too.

Yard sale didn't happen yet! My little brother just bought his first house and needs help fixing it up this weekend. He will also need us to help him move on the 28th so we have decided to postpone the Gigantic Scrapbook Yard Sale until the 12th of July. I can't believe how much paper, stamps, stickers, embellishments I had. It has taken well over 3 weeks to get it all together and organized. This will be some yard sale.

Starting from Scratch

I was messing with my blog and trying to change the format and such and I completely screwed everything up! So, here I am starting all over again. No worries though. Let's just start again!
This pregnancy is going so much better now. Our new baby girl should join us in about 4 months. There are times it seems she will be here in no time. Then other times (usually when I am miserable) it seems as if I can't get her here fast enough. She can stay in as long as she wants; she's easier to take care of that way.

Kari, my sister, and I are putting together a scrapbook yard sale for the 21st of this month. We have so much stuff! It's definitely time to simplify. I think we are both nesting and want the house as clean as possible for our little ones. A yard sale is the perfect way to get rid of stuff and make some money while were at it. Heaven knows Corey and I will need money to pay for this baby. Heck, Izzy isn't even paid for yet. Those NICU babies can be very expensive! Oh well. Like my mom always says, "It's only money." There are so many more important things to occupy my thoughts than money.
