My sister went in for her ultrasound this past Wednesday and found out that the baby her and her husband is expecting will be a girl.
So far, I'm the only one who is not finding out what the sex of the baby is and it's killing me not to know. My husband refuses to find out. So I'm making a nice mint green crochet blanket for the baby.
My son however is becoming ever so clingy. I had trouble dropping him off at school twice this week but on Friday he just left my side with no problems and since then he has been asking me about going to Circle Time. Circle time is when the class sits in a circle and go over the lessons. I really like this school and it's curriculum. My son is learning so much. I love our time together on the way home and how he talks about school and the things he's done and learned.
Well this is all I have to say for now. Til next time.

Upstate Weekend....
This week we celebrated my nephew's 16th birthday. I can't believe it. He's 16 years old. Time flies so fast. I still remember him running with a sword down the back of his shirt to the backyard to play with his friends.
This past weekend, we headed upstate for our annual get post Christmas get together with my brother, sisters and friends. Unfortunately, my brother and family could not make it because he was really sick.
We left on Friday evening to head up to the Catskills along with every other skier/vacationer heading out for the long weekend. It was kind of funny because I had my son in his PJs thinking I would move him from the car to the bed when we get to the house. We made a pit stop and it was funny because there were all these other kids all in their PJs as well.
When we get there, my son was wide awake especially when he noticed my nephew playing with the Wii. My son had to get his controller to play. We were up til 4AM watching the men and boys playing.
My husband, his friend, my brother in law and my nephew spent all day Saturday playing paintball in the backyard ( 7 acre backyard). They were out there for a long time in the cold. I made sure he was very well bundled because it was COLD up there in the Catskills.
I went out for a bit on Saturday and then I spent it in the house working on my knitting. We had lots of fun just lounging. It was cool to see that my sister was finally showing some pregnancy belly. I was worried a bit. Next year is going to be crazy with two new babies and a toddler. I can't wait!!!!
Well, I'm off to bed. It's getting late and I've got to head out early in case my son gives me any grief when I drop him off at school. Lately, he's pretty attached to me.

First Days of the New Year
Well, the New Year has come in with a blast.
We spent it as a family and had a great time. My son is so much fun to be around when he is playful and angry.
I've given up trying to be strict with the potty training because from what I've read he is showing some signs of not yet being ready. I still make him go to the potty if I notice he has gone into hiding but I'm not yelling at him anymore to tell me when he has to go potty. From what I'm reading, it's a big no no.
On the other hand, I am having success transferring him to his toddler bed at night and he's sleeping the night away. I'll take the small blessings I can get one at a time.
I've just come from celebrating my husband's birthday weekend. Yes, weekend. On Saturday (1/5), we went out with his parents, aunt and cousin for dinner at D&Bs. Lots of fun. Today, we went out with my parents for brunch. My husband loves this one restaurant where they serve brunch on Sundays.
My task for this week is to organize the Christmas items that will go into storage for next year and setting up my winter/valentine's decor. There is one thing that will stay behind from Christmas and they are the flowers I bought on 12/27/2007. They are read, white, dark red, and red/white mini carnations that are still blooming strong. I bought them at Shop Rite for 3 bouquets at 3.99 each. They are the sturdiest flowers I've ever bought.
Well, I'm signing off to get some knitting done. I'm currently working on a scarf in teal with a really soft yarn. I'm trying to hold off buying yarn until the new stuff comes out but I'm tempted to since I have some AC Moore gift cards.
Until next time....
