birthday photos!

here are the pictures from evan's party today. brace yourself there are quite a few in the post.



caitlin the lady bug. she was very cute. i think i spelt her name wrong... sorry about that paula

here's evan in the costume that i made... of course he's not wearing the hood and hat which would help in his look to be a scarecrow.


miss ladybug want to play with teh new play-doh set! who doesn't!

Geramy is the cow and Isaac is the bee... they were mesmerized by the baby einstein video evan turned on.. that's right folks, he knows how all by himself!

me helping with "pin the leaf to the tree"... the got colored blue. it was supposed to be pin teh stem on the pumpkin, but seeing as how halloween has passed.. i changed the game a bit. the only dry leaves were teh ones that were stranded on the front porch.

here's all the kids in one shot

poor isaac was glued to the video. lol it was very cute


i do have more pictures, but these were the best ones. i'm sure we'll have more from his family party next weekend, and then geramy's party the weekend after that.

favorite foods

evan's favorite foods this week are apple sauce and scrambled eggs... that's pretty much all he's eaten in a few days.... needless to say he's been filling his diaper pretty regularly.

a quick blurb

so evan's party is tomorrow... i hope it'll be fun, and i surely hope that evan will where his costume! i haven't pushed it all this week hoping that i can get him in it for his party. he is feeling 100% better again, thank God. nothing like dealing with a sick kid.

our loud neighbors have been cleaning out the garage for the past few days making all sorts of noise and being obnoxious. what else is new.

i've created a page on myspace recently so i could read janelle's other blog and discovered a bunch of old classmates there so i've been glued to my machine waiting for responses to my messages. this has made me very excited. i miss all my old friends.

that's it for now we have to figure out dinner

i need...

here is something i did for janell's blog, but recently saw herb do it too, so i'm posting my results here so others can do the assignment too.

here it is... go to google.com and type in "your name needs" only actually use your name and don't forget the quotes. then post your favorite 5 things that come up.

here are mine, as previously found for janelle's assignment:


1. Erica needs her family, and her family needs her.

2. Erica needs a nip (lol)

3. Erica needs to travel to England to recover gold owed her
family and restore the family's good name.

4.Erica needs to get up and have a stretch during class if she's sore, or uncomfortable etc ...

5.Erica needs wool pants

most of the comments with my name were refering to the character on AMC. but an entertaining hunt nonetheless.

evan update...
he's still sick, and wanted nothing to do with halloween.. what a bummer. i atleast wanted to take him around the neighborhood, but i couldn't evan get him to touch his costume, let alone put it on... that's it, next year i'll just buy him one, and if he won't wear it, that's ok, atleast i din't put a bunch of hours into making it.

anyhow.. i'm hoping evan doesn't have some sinus infection or anything... he's not vomiting anymore, thank God, and no longer has a fever, thank God, however we are having some serious issues with the leakage of is sinuses! they won't stop.. and it's the gross icky yellow boogies too, which just makes it more yucky. poor kid, he' having a hard time sleeping b/c of it.

but other than that things are going well.. it looks like he'll be well enough for is party on sunday... i was bummed that i had to rescedule it, but i didn't want to get the other kids sick. and he was just miserable, and frankly looked like crap. i have an easy week for work.. can't complain, and thankfully it was the week he's sick...i'm hoping he's feeling better for next week... it's such a pain to have to reschedule appointments, but atleast my number of clients has shrunken to the point that my schedule is longer booked solid with no room for rescheduling...

i'm signing off, b/c evan keeps stirring, and at some point eill need me to wipe his nose.

yuck and even more yuck

can it be? is really only quarter to 2 ugh.. this day is dragging... mostly i think b/c instead of hustling and bustling around to get the party together, we've canceled it b/c evan is too sick.. his temperment has been like a roller coaster the past 2 days.. and of course he only wants his mommy... so i htink i've gone trough a weeks worth of shirts in 2 days. between the drool, boogies and throw up i really don't have much of a choice. he goes from yucky, to happy, to tired and yucky, happy... you get the idea. atleast he's not throwing up anymore! now he just has sinus issues and a low grade fever... last night it went to almost 102. eep! poor kid. i think this is his worst sickness yet.

i've rescheduled his party for next sunday, so we can only hope he'll be feeling more like himself by then.

well atleast it hasn't snowed here yet!

i spent a bunch of time working on evan's costume over the past 2 months, and now he probably won't even wear it.. if he'll wear the shirt and pants for trick or treating.. i'll be happy.. even if it mean we only hand out candy.. i was atleast hoping to go around the neighborhood.

happy halloween


my gooberness amazes me... this is the third time i've edited this post b/c i wanted to add one more thing... so here goes: i hate the time change.. adjusting is a pain in the ass an di know that's one of the reasons why the day is dragging so badly today.

there.. . that's it, really.

oh the joys

evan's been sick today... not the entire day, but last night he got sick a few times.. i think it was the pizza. he spent some time this morning miserable as well, but was feeling better after some time and some plain toast and water. i think the tylenol helped too. he's fighting every medicine we have except the baby gas medicine... i think it did help settle his stomach... but i know he just likes the taste of it... he won't even take chewable tylenol.. i used to love that stuff when i was a kid. the red ones... too bad at brooks the meltaways by tylenol only come in grape... they don't taste bad or anything... he just doesn't like medicine except the gas medicine... and i've determined that you've got to really love someone to let them throw up one you, not only once, but a few times b/c they don't know what to do with themselves... after a little thinking after that moment.. you must really love someone more to let them throw up on you when they're drunk... hopefully that doesn't happen and they can make it to the bathroom. but haven't you noticed that the ony people "allowed" to throw up on other people are babies, and young children. i'd go as far to say there's less volume.. but c'mon that's not really true.. anyone who'se been around a newborn and attest to that... there can be alot of volume out of someone less then 2 feet tall... it's amazing. sorry to gross you all out.

he's sleeping again right now... he was just starting to get cranky again. i think the tylenol is wearing off, but when i put it in his mouth he just pushes it out and screams or let it drip out and screams or doesn't swallow it and screams... so we'll just let him sleep.. it's naptime anyhow.

evan's party is tomorrow, and i think he'll be fine by the afternoon. if he gets sick again i'll have to cancel it :( and i don't want to do that.

are my readers being lazy and not posting any comments, or haven't i had any readers? i can't tell, and may of you don't seem to be posting either, i know you're all busy and i only work three days a week... no excuses for me i guess.

i should be doig the dishes and cleaning the house... note what i'm doing instead.

ok.. i think i'm done now.

that's retarded

i just discovered that i can't view any of my previous posts that were associated with my previous template... grr...
