I love you Craig...

You have given me so many things for free. Rugs, dressers, clothing for the girls, fabric, TV stand, BUT

I especially love the free piano you gave me,

(Well almost for free... we had to pay to rent a truck to move it.)

(And it'll need to be tuned...and one key repaired)

(But it is a Baldwin... a quality piano that will last forever!)

and for the perfect sized Desk.

Well at least that is what you said it was, a desk, turns out it is a

SEWING MACHINE DESK!!! 

Just what I have been looking for!

With a bonus Kenmore Sewing machine from 1974! VINTAGE!

They make my heart so happy.
Almost as much as this...

(Check out the Double Chin!)

Thank you Craig and your list of awesomeness! So until next time Craig, I LOVE YOU!

Love, Lizzie

PS - We're going to need to be more careful with our relationship, my husband is starting to wonder where I am getting all of these awesome gifts from.

Hey, whatever works, RIGHT?

Mommy WOW!

I'm a Big Kid Now

Just an update... I turned around and found Sarah going "tinkle on the pottty" ALL BY HERSELF!!! Meaning, I didn't have to ask her if she had to go, drag her over to the potty, tell her she had to sit on it and wait for 10 minutes by her side to make sure she didn't get off before she went. 

Great Job Sar-Bear!

Thanks Family for all of the positive reinforcement via WebCam last night!

No More...

We are Potty Training today! I am done with diapers... Sarah needs to learn, TODAY! So Sarah is equipped with some new Princess Panties, lots of drink and we are going to win this BATTLE!

CHAAAARRRRGGGE!

I do realize that it often takes more than a day, but we are going to make progress today! 
Big progress, BIG!

Shhh, don't tell Ryan

Okay, so is this normal? A little over four months ago I delivered Abby, and the painful recovery part is supposed to help in discouraging me to not want to get pregnant with another little one for a good year or two, right? Well I am so baby hungry right now, I don't know what is wrong with me. I am ready for my little boy so I can have this adorableness...

BabyGap

I have way too many friends that have the most ADORABLE little boys, including my sister and soon my sister in law too!

Yeah, I know boys are full of energy, more active and sometimes just a little more crazy than girls, but after all of the bipolar emotional drama in my home I feel as if I can handle just about anything.

Ryan keeps talking about how he wouldn't mind having a much larger age gap between Abby and then next, and I just nod and listen to him, when inside I am thinking... "Hmm, Doc says to wait a year... that is only six months away, I can wait six months."

Why am I baby hungry? I still have a baby!

Case of the Giggles

Abby had been napping in her swing while we were eating dinner, right towards the end she woke up and thought Sarah was so funny. It all started by Sarah squeezing out the air from her puffed up cheeks. I should've grabbed Abby and Daddy a towel by the end because he was pretty drenched!

Hope this gives you a giggle or two!

Name that Blog

Okay, I was looking over my posts and I am taking way too much space on here with projects that I have done. So I think I am going to start another blog, a craft blog *gasp!*, I know, I know, not another craft blog in the world. But I need a place that I can dump my projects on to so that you all won't be bored with my lame creations, that I am super proud of, that keep taking up space on the family blog.

I need help coming up with a name. I know after I made the Elephant Sock Animal someone said - "What Would Liz Do?" But will people get offended because it is kind of like "What Would Jesus Do?" I need some ideas, because I am drawing a blank... I want a fun spunky blog name - something that suits me.

I am a night owl, maybe something with that, it is the only time I get things done. (the past ten crafter, night owl knack, Owlie Style, The Owl's Coop)
I am a "SAHM" (Mormon Acronym - Stay At Home Mom), but everyone does something with that.
Zilnewt has been my e-mail name since junior high... but I can't think of anything to make it creative.
My designated craft area is the basement (or Dungeon as I call it), but I usually sneak and do it on the kitchen table. (Dungeon Owl, Night Owl in the Dungeon).
Spontaneous? Crazy? I think in Middle school I was called Dizzy Lizzy... ha, no.

These are all dumb...
As you can see, I need HELP!

Toss out the ideas... I've got my catchers mitt on.
