Buggin' Me

1. Dear Kid Walking Up Westmount With His Friends,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? Did I seriously witness you littering? LITTERING? Seriously? Did you just drop your pop bottle on the grass and keep walking? Did you know that that is garbage? Not to mention that those are recyclable and even worth money in some areas (though sadly not here)? Did you know that that is absolutely ridiculous? YOU LITTERED!!!! Who purposely does that anymore? Me Annoyed- at you!!!!

Dear Friends of Kid Who Littered-
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING??? It seems like such a stupid and uncool thing to do- why wouldn't you say that to him? Wierd. If it was me I would have said something.

Dear Anyone I Know Or Don't Know For That Matter-
DON'T LITTER- ITS DUMB. The least that you could do for this earth is throw away your garbage- its a start anyway.

I am not really a save the earth type of person- I mean I want the earth saved- don't get me wrong- but I wouldn't call myself an activist.... I was just really annoyed with the Litterbug kid and his friends- we all know better than that. So now that it is off my chest and out on the world wide web I feel better.


2. Dear Lady at Wimpy's Who Asked If Ruby Went To Daycare Just Because She Was Outgoing and Social:
WOW- What an interesting comment. Your first instinct was that Ruby could only be friendly and outgoing and social if she went to daycare? Wow- that is all I can think to say. Oh and that I am sad you feel that way.


Anyway- now I feel better......

Us Today

Best Friends.....
Cutie cry face..... I guess he's just not ready to choose his bff yet.
The Guys just hangin' out... 2 happy little heads...
And the family that is ours.... We are pretty awesome if I do say so myself....

Our day consisted of passport updating, passport photo taking, diaper buying (great deal on now at zehrs...), fabriclanding- however disappointing that always is...., rw&co- with no results to speak of, car riding, and wimpys- home of the 10 oz wimpy burger--- delish, and after all of that we still had time to take some family photos. We are amazing!

Love it

I want this dress.
Its really pretty- and when i look at it it screams-
CHERYL!!!
This dress was made for me.
Unfortunately it was made for alot of other people too.

Or atleast a lot of other people my size.
If only I was the size of a small child I may be able to fit into the XS and all my wardrobe woes would vanish.

But seriously I want that dress.
Can someone make me a replica?

And if anyone sees anything they like on the website and would like to share shipping (which is outrageous) then I am in!!!

Our HOBO

When most children are aspiring to be princesses or astronauts
our sweet Rublet is training to be a
HOBO
or a
HOARDER

depending on how you look at it.


This is her today-


She was carrying everything she could in that stroller and in the 2 bags hanging off the back....
She would walk around the house with that and when she saw something that caught her eye she would take it and add it to her stash.
Justin commented on our little hobo-in-training but I like to think that she will always have a home with us so therefore will never be homeless. I like to see her in a more positive light- as our little hoarder. Do you think TLC would be interested in a new show?? 'When Toddlers and Their Trinkets Get Out of Hand- a true glimpse into the life of a toddler and their stuff.' I should really copyright that or something- I can see it becoming a hit.


And a Ruby quote of the day- 'The Holy Bible- by Robert Munsch.'
She's still learning...

Ode to Photoshop

Oh Photoshop
Thank you for being invented!
For so long I was apprehensive about using you- I worried I wouldn't be able conquer you- but I HAVE....
Well- I can make headers for blogs now- (as you can see by our updated header)
Any requests?
I can't do much else yet- but that is what tutorials on the internet are for right?
I'll keep you posted on my progress
Because I know you are all interested....

Here is the banner I made for my soon to be opened etsy shop!!

Noni

Don't be surprised when you see these little beauties popping up everywhere

(Minus the grey lines of course.)
Those are my new labels.
I named my 'company' noni- I like it- it has special meaning for me.
I made my first real sale today- thank you AMY!!
And I have my publicist and marketing director Jenn on the job- so I am sure my line will take off like a rocket soon enough....
I can't wait to get my labels....

1 to 3

About a month ago we were out of diapers and needed to buy Noni some more- so we went to Walmart and bought a freakishly large box of size one diapers- not realizing that our little guy would grow out of size one diapers the next day. He has been in ones ever since....
Here he is sporting some muffin top...
And here he is sporting a happy grin because he knows that he will no longer wake up with a wet sleeper- since this size of diaper is actually made for someone his size and therefore is equipped to hold the amount of urine he produces....

Oh the relief...
I guess the only upside is that we were able to skip the awkward size 2 stage all together.... You all know about the awkward size 2 stage right?

OK- Its a joke- there is nothing awkward about wearing size 2 diapers.

And I had to write that last sentence because Justin just wasn't feeling the humor. He didn't really get it. But I deemed it too funny to delete.

Snowmen Need Sun Protection Too.....

Ruby and I took the time to enjoy the nice weather today-
We climbed the Huge Mountain in our parking lot
We threw snowballs
We kicked dog poo
We ran
and of course we documented it all....



This is me trying to get a nice picture out of Ruby....


Still trying....

This is the look I get when I tell her not to stick her tongue out...

And the comment- 'I was just trying to show you my tongue....'

And here she is holding the snowman's head- apparently she thought we were going to be building an incredibly small snowman....

And finally here we are with the masterpiece- a snowman with sun protection...

(Maybe Ruby wasn't too far off when she predicted the head size- it is rather small)

And The Post You Have All Been Waiting For...

An Update!!

I know- I know
LONG OVERDUE
Now everyone can enjoy the supreme cuteness that I have created in my womb...

Myers-
He is seriously growing like a weed- a chubby weed- a weed that grows width wise and not so much in height- they have those- right?
He is 7 weeks old and weighs 16pounds.
And just to put that in perspective that means he is above the 95th percentile for weight.
And for those stats fans out there- his head circumference is also above the 95th percentile and his height is in the 25th percentile...
Short he is a short fat head and we LOVE it!!
He sleeps, poops, toots (alot), and 'goos' now- oh and smiles- he has the best dimples!
And finally some pictures for you all to enjoy...



Ruby
She is seriously awesome. She is now potty trained and learning what a wedgie is- apparently we aren't born with that innate knowledge. We have since remedied the wedgie situation...
She loves Myers SO much- but beware she is still a strict body/name guard and will only allow you to call him Myers or the much preferred Noni- and of course King Julian. So atleast we have some more options now a days.
She is still attached to buddy and her new Dora sippy cup and must sleep with them both. Today she also decided she would love a fake fur belero that she was formerly scared of and Buddy is currently wearing it to bed.
She loves running and singing and Clark and Jayne and Ainsley.
She is still a Madagascar 2 fan and will be for life I am sure.
I can't wait until the weather is better outside and we can spend our days out there while we wait for Justin to come home from school... the best part of our day...
Some photos to brighten your day


Cheryl

I am seriously awesome... if i do say so myself...
I am getting used to being a mother of 2 and I like to think I am doing a pretty good job of it. I really love those 2.
I feel like I am everywhere at once and I have a million projects going on at the same time and a million more that I want to work on that are in my head- or atleast bookmarked on my computer. I have just had a creative surge lately- now if only I could find the time...
I did order some fabric tags to add to my projects and I am very excited for them to come in the mail!!
I have been working out and feel great and have been happy with the results though I would like to get rid of more... but it will come- off that is.
I am happy and healthy and looking forward to the spring and summer but enjoying the end of winter.

Justin
He has been busy with school but not too busy- we have really been able to enjoy him at home and are always sad when he is gone.
He is getting more and more confident with his optometrical abilities (I just like the sound of optometrical- whether it is a word or not) and will soon be YOUR optometrist (right?)
He keeps himself busy with church and school and family and car repairs and smart phones- of course. He knows everything and is a smart phone technology genius.
We think he is the best.

Myers was blessed on February 7, 2010 and here is a family photo taken that day

Myers in his outfit- He looks so cute in his little tie!

It was a great day even though family couldn't be there we thought of you all! We love you and are grateful for all the love and support you give us!
*We are going to get photos and a birth announcement out sometime this week- hopefully- so look for some fun in the mail!*

This last photo is for pure enjoyment- it is one of Justin's favorites- I personally think its a little on the creepy side... but cute creepy- you know 'cause he's my baby....

Hunny Bunny

Apparently the Hunny Bunny Baby is the Tickle Me Elmo of 2010.
We have been searching around for a hunny bunny of Ruby's very own.
We called everywhere around Kitchener- Waterloo- Guelph- Stratford... and it was either not carried by the store or sold out.
So then we thought that we would try in Alberta and get someone there to buy it for us and mail it to us....
This is how much Ruby was talking about her need for a hunny bunny. She was so cute asking for one- everywhere we went she would want to look for a hunny bunny of her very own.
'Maybe (insert any store name here) has a hunny bunny' she would say
And being the amazing parents we are-
We were determined to find one.
And.... after lots of calling....and internet searching
Drumroll please......
WE FOUND ONE
Well actually we found 2- so if anyone is looking for one you can find one in New Hamburg at the 'Is this Chair Taken' store.
We also got a Lil Peanut one for Noni- Ruby insisted.
Here is Ruby enjoying her Hunny Bunny...

-oh wait- I don't have one....
And Noni with his peanut....


But after all of that Ruby rediscovered an old favorite- Buddy.
And hasn't gone back to Hunny Bunny since.
Apparently all she wanted was a bunny of her very own. It didn't have to come in a removable pink bunny suit, or be incredibly hard to find and slightly expensive. hmmmm.
And here she is with her reunited loves- buddy and Rosie- (she insisted they be in the photos....)
