the weekend already?!?!!?

wow! i can't believe it is friday already! i'm happy to have a pretty low-key weekend coming up! the past several weekends have been super hectic - so some quiet, home & family time will be great! ok, who am i kidding - my house is NEVER quiet!! (but i am looking forward to hanging out with my boys)!

tonight i'm going over to my friend's house for a girls' get together! i haven't done that for a long time - should be fun!! and saturday night we are having dinner at my parents' house to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday! other than that, NO PLANS!! noah really wants to have a "sleepover" with adam. we'll have to see about that. last time we tried a brother sleepover it wasn't very successful!!

have a great weekend!!

a day at home

at home with the girls today. things have been so busy lately, it feels like forever since i've had a day at home. my to-do lists are still ridiculously long, but nothing that is too pressing. i feel like i can actually breathe right now! just got back from palm springs and then turned around and went to vancouver with becca to buy next season's maternity. we managed to get some personal shopping in as well and now i actually think i might be shopped out (at least my husband tells me i am!).

things have been crazy busy at the store. still getting new products in every day. there are so many great products out there. please let us know if you spot something that you think cravings should carry. the momzelle nursing shirts have been doing so well. we had never heard of them, but later found out several of our customers were purchasing online. our goal is to bring sought after products to saskatoon! the puj tubs are another new product and sold out fast. we are trying to get more ut they are on back-order right now. hoping to re-stock mid-april. a perfect gift!

going to get ready for a few crafts with ryan while layla naps.

have a great day!

1st cavity!

tonight at 6, steven and i have to take noah to the dentist for his first filling!! a few weeks ago i took both boys for a check up with our new dentist. this was adam's 1st visit, but noah had been to our former dentist a few times before. noah has never successfully had x-rays taken of his teeth (major freak out last time) when they did do x-rays this time, they discovered a small cavity between his teeth! we were supposed to be flossing!!!! i thought i was on top of mom things, but i seriously didn't know you had to floss your little kid's teeth!! i feel like a really bad, neglectful mother!!

last thursday we had a laughing gas trial - which weren't really well & was super funny!! and tonight we're going for the filling! i'm really nervous. i actually really like going to the dentist, but i'm nervous for noah getting the needle(s) - he's terrified of them!

i'm hoping that we can bribe him with the treasure box at the end and maybe a pack of pokemon cards. if you hear screaming around the grosvenor park shopping centre tonight, just ignore it, its probably just noah seeing the needle!!

late night

this is a total procrastination blog! i'm back at work, working on our sabex awards applications. i need a break! my eyes are going buggy! this has been a pretty hectic week - and it's not over! tomorrow nicole and i are meeting back here at 8am to gather some stuff to take to our booth at the market mall baby crawl. the races take place from 1 - 4:30 pm, but there is an indoor baby garage sale from 9:30 am - 6 pm. cravings will have a booth set up all day. we will be selling some of our best sellers - toys, books, clothing . . . and we'll pay the tax.

we will be presenting the fastest baby with a $1000 cheque to go towards an RESP!! good luck to all the little racers - can't wait!!

bedtime battles

we're going on 3 weeks of the big boy bed - and i'm just about ready to reinstate the crib!! adam is the sweetest, most polite almost-3 year old you'll ever meet . . . but he NEVER listens!! he doesn't care what other people think or feel - and cannot be motivated by anyone!! bribes, rewards, timeouts, taking things away - we've tried it all, and they don't work!!

my little con is now sleeping in a bed room (aka cell) with a bed, 1 book, 2 dressers & 1 blanket!! we've taken everything else out because he's trouble!! his latest is pulling everything out of his drawers and trying on all of his clothing! grrrr!

last night i came upstairs and the gate, which we placed in his doorway to keep adam contained, was mysteriously down on the ground and the little bugger was in our bedroom watching tv!!

wish us luck - not sure how much more i can take!!

spring baby crawl

this saturday, march 13th, nicole and i will be spending the day at market mall for the spring baby crawl! this year, cravings maternity & baby is the grand prize sponsor!! we will be awarding saskatoon's fasted baby with a $1000 cheque to be used for an RESP!!

this is sure to be a super fun event - i'm really looking forward to seeing all the adorable little racers!!

yesterday, i picked up our giant sized check (for all the photo opps)! it looks great - i'm really pleased at how it turned out. it was my first real project on my new computer. i've had my mac for almost 4 months - but i haven't had much time to play around with it yet!
