The Many Adventures of Erika

This is what Erika did yesterday while Christian was in school. ANd of course, instead of helping her get unstuck, I grabbed the camera!

1st Day of First Grade!

Well August 23rd was his first day of first grade! He was so excited! The most exciting part was having lunch in the cafeteria. Christian has been to preschool and kindie but they were all half day. He came home and told me all about his day and lunch. He got a hot dog and then told me "And if you need mustard or ketchup, there are ladies there to help you!" He ate like a horse when he got home. But he was still up until 9:30pm! I was sure he would crash!

We didn't do anything exciting today. Erich is away on business and will be back tomorrow. The kids and I went over to see a house for rent and the guy never showed up. He was supposed to be there at 9:30am. When we came back, he left a message about rescheduling. Screw that. What kind of landlord would he be if he can't even show up to show me the place!
I think we are going to start actively look for a house to buy. I really like it here even though my hubby chnages his mind every day about where to live!
After waiting for the guy who never showed, we went over to the playground at school and Christian ran around for a while. Only one week until school starts!! Big fat first grader!

Christian was such a little monkey as a baby. He loved to go to the playground!

Pogo

One of my favorite things to do on the internet to waste time is play at Pogo.com. I have been playing there for years! If you want my screen name, email me and I will send it to you so we can play together!

What baby gate??

Why do I even bother with a baby gate?? If you look behind Erika, you can see the gate that is up to keep her in! Obviously, she figured out how to go THROUGH the railing! Fortunately, I was coming up the stairs and caught her before she got all the way through. (She very easily could have done it!) This child will give me grey hair before I am 40!

And yes she is wearing a onesie that says "I am a little stinker!"

This is one of my favorites of the 2 of them..although I have quite a few!

Every year we take black and whites of Christian in August. Here are the past 5 years!

Looks like we will be doing it again soon.

Erika in her Dress

I have recently begun digital scrapbooking although I have been doing paper scrapbooking for some time!

Here is my daughter Erika in her christening dress.

Brand New!

Well here I am..new to the world of blogging!
I think I am too old for this!

For now I plan on using it to upload pictures of the kids and my digital scrapbook pages. Who knows? Someday it may become more!
