Well, it's been a long time since I have posted and I'm sorry. Life has been hectic to say the least. I started selling Gold Canyon Candles on top of still selling Avon. The difference being, GC I have to have house parties :)
David is getting big, adding more words to his vocabulary, getting more teeth (1 to go) and still biting!
We sold the guest bedroom furniture a couple of weeks ago and converted into a playroom for David. I spent all Saturday afternoon and evening painting and Sunday I cleaned the carpet throughout the house and moved toys from the living room in to the playroom. By the time Sunday night came around, I could hardly move a muscle!
On the 13th, we had a play date at our house. David's future bride, Arianah, came over with her mommy (Heather), Sloane brought her mom and dad (Angela and Charles) . Elton, who works with Anthony, came over with his 3 sons and wife and Tammy and Shaye (David's babysitters) came over as well. It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed themselves. I'm so glad that the playroom was ready because they TORE IT UP! David really enjoyed all the kids and was trying to keep up with the older ones. By the time everyone left, he was exhausted and fell asleep right away.
I finally finished getting all of David's clothes ready to sell at Duck Duck Goose, the consignment event (for lack of a better word). This was the first time I participated and told myself that if I didn't make any money from it I wasn't going to do it again. It was a lot of work getting the clothes ready, making the tags and hanging them up. DDG has their own bar code system that I had to download, enter each piece of item with description and price I wanted to sell it at. They usually only take name brand items, with a few Target, Wal-Mart brand items. Toys, furniture, maternity clothes etc. Once you enter all the items, then you have to print it out and pin them to the left shoulder of the item. The sale runs from Wednesday - Saturday with Saturday being 1/2 price day (each consignor can decided what they want and don't want to be sold for half price). I took in 74 pieces (max is 75) and sold 63 of them! Maybe around $234, so I think it was a success. I didn't put high prices on too many items, unless it was something I still had a tag on or it was name brand and in great condition. I think I'll participate in the Spring Sale as well.
On Saturday, my friend Heather who sells Homemade Gourmet and I set up a vendor booth at DDG to try and not only sell items but to get contacts for parties. The best thing that came out of the show was getting a booking from a lady who runs an apartment complex on Chanel (RICH part of LR). Near the holidays the complex holds parties for ALL the residents (216 units). Heather and I will set up a party together on Nov 8 at this complex and sell in stock items, take orders and hopefully book more parties!! We are very excited about that!
Over the weekend two of David's teeth popped through, on the bottom. He now has one tooth left to get and then I believe he will have all his teeth! He's still biting at school but not as often and only when he's teething.
I want to enter David in some photo contests but can't seem to get the right size of photo. I need to pull out the instructions on my camera. He is such a ham when I pull the camera out, that sometimes he tries to smile too big and his eyes get all squinty. lol
Well I better go for now, if I think of something I left out - I'll post it and will promise to try and keep up with this better.
Happy Belated Birthday - Connie and AJ!!

Well we made it through the weekend! It was really nice having 3 days off, I really needed it. We didn't do a whole lot but that's fine. I'm selling some of David's old clothes at Duck Duck Goose (big consignment sale in LR) so I getting that all together. Each consignor is only allowed 75 items and I didn't think I would even come close to that, but..........I have 75 and still more that I could do. I'll earn 70% of what sells so then I'll have money to buy more clothes for David! LOL

We sold the spare bedroom set, well kinda, the lady really wants it but since Gustav is now in Arkansas it hasn't stopped raining since Monday night. Looks like the wind has picked up a bit as well. Any way, now that the bedroom set will be gone we can turn that room into a playroom for David and his friends and we can have our living room back. I want to paint the room and put those foam interlocking tiles down in the room (the ones with the ABC's or just the colored ones).

We bought a mat at Wal-mart over the weekend hoping it will help David take longer naps on the weekends. He'll sleep 2 2 1/2 hours at Day Care in fact have to wake him up, but at home on the weekends he will maybe sleep for an hour. We put him on the mat Sunday and he slept for 2 hours!!!!! Guess he likes that better than his crib!

Well better get going and finish getting ready for work, just wanted to post something since it had been a while.

Oh and David hasn't bitten anyone since last Tuesday!!!
