Boys will be boys.....

I guess it's going to be one of those posts! LOL!

Donovan....er...I mean......Logan, was raiding his bike yesterday, and ran right into the curb....I saw it with my own eyes and it looked like it HURT like a mother! Well, it must have because now for this second day the poor kid is still having trouble walking! LOL! Ugh, and as a parent, I look at it, and it makes my skin crawl! Gross! I feel so bad for him! LOL! Here you go! The damage!
Looks pretty bad huh!? I think this is honestly the only time he's had such a boo boo! Usually he's wearing knee pads or something, but not this time! LOL!! Oh well! It's gonna heal.

So I am starting a new project! Anyone who is friends with me on facebook and reads this blog will know who this did belong to! LOL! You can admit it's yours if you want to, otherwise, I'll just stay mum....

Anyway, so I did, YES I ACTUALLY TRASH PICKED SOMETHING!!! LOL!! But I saw it as I was coming home, and I have been DYING for one of these, but have a hard time paying over 100 bucks for something that I know would rust this badly......so, I asked my friend what was wrong with it and he said nothing~just that it was really really rusty. I asked him if I could have it and so he put it aside for me. I got it home and so far all I've done with it is wire sanded it, and got all the loose rust off of it. And it ALREADY looks really good! I bought the Rust-oleum primer that I have to do next, and then I bought the Rust-oleum high heat spraypaint in Black. It's going to look sweet, and it only cost me like 20 bucks for the stuff I needed! So I can't wait to see what it's gonna look like when it's painted! I am happy that I have another project to deal with! Whoo Hoo!
Before the Wire sanding.....

After the wire brushing....
So I was going to do the primer today, but it looks like it's going to rain.....maybe I'll do it when Rowan goes for a nap. I really want to get this done. But for now, it's good. I want to buy a cover for it, so that it does not get any more rusty. Okay, wish me luck!

Still a swollen nose.....

So yesterday I brought Donovan to the Dr. because he could not really breath out of his nose all too much. So she check him and said he has nasal contusions, and 2 black eyes. Now because he is so fair skinned, his black eyes are more of a pinky. Not Black and blue. Which I am happy about considering Donovan and Brayden's birthday party is tomorrow. GO BOYS!
The principal said so far there is nothing she can do in terms of correcting the situation because she still needs to get Donovan's side of the story and she is waiting for the video tape on the bus. Then she can make a decision. Well, I have a $110.00 medical bill waiting to be paid for. Donovan did tell me that he smacked the kid in the leg to defend himself. Which I guess is good, but I don't know personally how I feel about that. I am more of the "Don't hit back because then you have NO chance at all in getting in trouble~type of person." LOL! All I do know is that if my child is found completely not guilty~those kids better get in a LOAD of crap!


Here is his nose 2 days after getting punched.

Either way. So now I have to wait until Monday to get an answer on anything.

Austin is such a cutie pie!! He is now starting to talk to you when you pay attention to him. He smiles, Coo's and gurgles away telling you his life stories....(all 3 months of them!!) Click on the video to see him chatting away!



So I am going to start getting in shape now. I took pictures of myself today, and boy am I disgusted at my belly, butt and thighs. YES! I know I just gave birth 3 months ago, but I don't like the flappy skin one bit, and I want to work harder at being rid of it. My goal is August 1, 2009. 110 lbs (pre pregnancy weight), and we will see how it goes.


Right now I am currently 127 lbs. 23.2 BMI

So I have figured out my next project. The Backsplash part of my cabinets. (you know that space between the counter top, and the cabinets.) So I was going to tile that are of the kitchen like everyone else. But then decided to change my mind. I found magnetic paint, and I am going to paint the whole area with it, and switch out the plate covers. I figured it would be pretty cool because instead of using my fridge for paper storage, I would move some of it to the backsplash. So when I get the time, I am going to do that, and then I will post the before and after photos.


What do you guys think I should do?!?

Phew...Finally, a project and a suprise!

So since I have gotten my new car with the manufacture installed DVD entertainment system, and the nice headphones with the squishy earpieces............they have since broken......the squishy earpieces at least. They look like they have been attacked by a vicious dog! That dog would be Rowan.....the "I have to taste everything" 1 year old! So for about 2 months now, the kids have been crying because one would end up wearing the broken headphone minus 1 squishy ear piece. (It's actually comical watching the kids bolt into the car so they would get the good pair, and the other 2 would have to suffer with the broken ones. I have to say they did get into the car a lot quicker that way! LOL!) Either way....I was sick and tired of them crying and complaining. So I did this!

All I did was bought felt from Wal-Mart for 0.39 each, and glued those bad boys on there. I let them dry overnight, and then I trimmed them to fit! And let me tell you, the boys say they are comfy to wear, and they were cheap and easy to do! Instead of buying the replacements for god knows how much, try this instead!

This is the Face of the Proud toothless Coral, Donovan! He lost that tooth that belongs to the big one first the other day, and then today he lost the big one! Go Buddy! Now he has a big tooth growing in, but it's literally the size of the hole in his face right now....so I am wondering how the 2nd tooth he lost is going to grow in also, because there is no room right now for a second tooth........Do I smell braces in the future?!?!

Oh well! I am doing another project in Brayden and Jordan's room. So I can't wait to share it with you guys! And the boys are excited to have it! It's a CHALKBOARD!!
