You know you're a homeschooler when . . . . .
You find flash cards on the back of the toilet.
Yes, my thrifty son has found a way to make use of more of his time. Always looking for a way to minimize "work" and maximize playtime has it's good points, but as a lifetime goal can be pretty frustrating. I hope he grows out of it LOL!
We bought a fun sticker book for Kaitlin at costco (6.99) the other day. She has gone through about half of it. She loves creatures and stickers - it's the perfect combination. I just wish they had put a little more content in it besides "Look at all the butterflies" kind of stuff. How about which butterfly is which? Oh well. She likes it.

So I posted a buncha new photos - some in the baby blog and some in Rigdonia Family. Check them out if you dare . . . . (I kind of feel bad because there isn't a pic of Owen's mom who passed away the same year as mine. But I don't think his family would want her online, so I refrained. I guess I could put a little note there. Next time.)
Jenn, I found a box image. I found another fun little project to add to my site. It'll be a disaster but it'll look cute LOL! See I can have secret projects too. HA.

OOOOh I am infatuated with my own work. I feel I was truly inspired. It is not often I pat myself on the back (at least in public) so please forgive. I'll get over myself soon. LOL! 8~P
I can't believe it. This blog comes up 7th in a google search for "make a pig nose". Why would anyone search for that? As to why I have it in my blog, well, it just came up, k?! (Regular readers may remember a story involving my daughter and a character named Pig Vader. The rest of you will just have to wonder. 8 : P )

There should T O T A L L Y be such thing as a F O N T W I S H L I S T ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! So . . . . add this one to mine. (Jenn, I found it!) And Allegheny, Beauvoir, and Brandywine. I stopped there for fear the list would be too long and I would get too discouraged. Besides, I have designing to do so quit dreaming!
Here's one more and you can see it in use at Truly-Sarah.com - watch for the great brushes, too!
Somebody stop meeeeeeee!

I am so embarrassed! After all of my "copyright posturing" of late, I went and posted a new set to my shareware section and forgot to give credit for the lovely photo! Sorry Philippe! So there - it's fixed. Why didn't anybody tell me?! Hopefully nobody noticed. Yikes.
I am surprised I found it at all - I got maybe 4 hours of sleep last night and they were interrupted! Ian has the cold that Kaitlin started out with and it's his first stuffy nose. I have renewed one of my old hats - back to momma the snot rag for awhile LOL! Sorry for the graphic nature of that comment, but thems the breaks!

I suppose an update is in order!!!
Kaitlin is much better. We tried a new breathing med which seems to work without making her so fidgety. Once her breathing got better, her high fevers reduced and her stomach got better so she is eating again. It is this huge cascade thing and she gets high fevers and we can't get tylenol in her or much more than tiny sips of water - it's a scary time. But I figure she's ok because she's had two popcicles and a handful of cheese-its this morning. I think she'll have normal lunch today. ;-) Thanks, Eva, for asking about her!
I am so torn today - I need to do the bills and the kids room is a fiasco but I wanna create - oh no who will win? Also have a meeting for Masterworks at 3 - trying to decide whether to just skip it or take the baby and show off. I'll just see how the day progresses.
Good news! I won the Graphic Goo September contest!!! Ok - I tied for second with a pretty bad score. I thought I did so well - LOL! But still, it was cool! This was a good idea for a contest - several members were asked to create a web set and we got to guess whose was whose. I am dying to find out which and how many I got right, or should I say, wrong. That was fun!!!
