Maple hanging out in her bag…
Maple and Indy…
Took Son3 to the 99cent store the other day…
He picked out the above cup, he got a red one for son2…
He also got some candies and drinks…
We’ve been trying to figure out how to motivate him to do his best in school…
He does well enough but forgets too many assignments…
A friend at work told her daughter that if she brought all her grades up to A’s before the school year ends she would give her $10 for each A… she now owes her daughter $70…
So we told son3 we would give him $20 for each B next year in the 8th grade…
He said what do I get for A’s, I said well what do you want, he said Carl’s Jr… He’s cheap to bribe…
So I told him the 99cent store is what you get for C’s and D’s, which is what he is getting, although now his C’s have fallen to D’s with only three weeks left… He said I like the 99cent store…
I don’t think I will be paying him $20, but I can hope…
Son2’s fish tank… he’s down to three fish and the sucker fish below…
He’s another one that isn’t easily motivated…
Remember the big tree in the backyard that covers four yards…
Son1 finally came over with a friend and thinned the tree way back, see the pictures above…
However they could not reach over the fence on the left side so it is still hanging in the other yards…
Now my backyard is full of branches that will slowly be chopped up and put in the tote over the next month…
And as son1 was leaving he asked hubby if he could bring Danny over on Saturday night so they could go out of town and pick him up Sunday morning… Kona gets to go because she is a lab dog and is fun for son1 to take outside to play… Danny is a terrier lap dog who rather sit on the couch all day…
Anyway here it is Monday night and no sign of son1 to pick up his dog… Guess who will be saying no the next time he asks for us to dog sit…
Got some more pinwheels at the 99cent store to go with the ones I already had to put out in the yard today…
Yesterday I was off, today I had to work, hubby too…
So since we couldn’t go anywhere as we were dog sitting…
I put the diaper cake together for the baby shower… Son2 helped me…
Goodies on the inside… cutest little cowboy outfit… diaper wipes, powder, lotion, blanket, toy, nail clippers…
See this ribbon… The last Thursday hubby and I had off we went baby shopping… We had the best day… We went to Big Lots, Ross, Michael’s, Babies R Us… I found the cutest cowboy outfit at Ross, a horse at Big Lots and hubby picked out a play yard at Babies R Us… So we won’t be getting the stroller/car seat combo… Hubby was more excited about picking out a play yard, they are very fancy from when our boys were small…
So we got this play yard and it came with a bassinet too… The play yard has a changing table on top and a place to set the bassinet… as the baby grows, you remove the top layer and then use it as a playpen…
And just for shopping we got a free umbrella stroller…
But back to the cowboy boot ribbon above…
I was looking at Michael’s for ribbon for the diaper cake, I had already gotten some red paisley… And I found the above ribbon and began to cry… I told hubby what is this in my eyes, I don’t cry… I think at the moment that it hit me that son1 is going to have a baby…
So ever since I have finally been excited…
But I’m still irritated with him for not picking up his dog on time…
