Plans

This weekend will be a fun one since I am having some "Mommy Time" Saturday with 2 lovely ladies making wreaths. So excited about that!

These are the wreaths we are going to make:

I will do Aiden's 19mo post tomorrow. Speaking of Aiden every day I crack up at his status report. His daycare gives us a sheet to let us know what happened during the day. How many times they were wet, bowel movements, dry, sleeping, potty, etc. Achievements, If they are running low on items, Behavior Issues, etc.

There are two funny columns. "For Lunch I Ate" either Like a Horse or Like a Bird. Every time Aiden is Like a Horse. I told them well of course...doesn't look like he turns away food. He might steals other peoples food for a matter of fact. :-) The other column is "I Slept" either Like a Cat or Like a Rock. Every time Aiden is Like a Rock. That baby looooves his naps, except when Mommy is around lately. lol

His Teacher Comments is always "Such a good little helper and organizer." Yup, that's my boy alright. He is such a sweetie I could just eat him up!

Pampered Chef

Later this month I am hosting a Pampered Chef party. I will try to send as many cards out as I have addresses, but if you don't get one it doesn't mean you can't shop! :-) And you must send me your address so I can update my book.

If you click on the link and enter in my name "Allison" "Lambert" you can connect to my party and shop away!

ORDER ONLINE

I won't go into alot of detail, because no one wants to hear that but this is the month where they have tons of new products. Amazing new products!

I am new to the Pampered Chef world after getting hand-me-downs and cheap items from Target/Walmart. And let me say I will never go back. Every product I have I love and use constantly! They make cooking so much easier and faster. Plus the products last so no need for replacing like you do with the cheap stuff.

If you are a busy mom like me then you MUST get the Deep Covered Baker Dish. This thing is AMAZING and WELL worth the money! Let's talk about a dinner staple. Baked Chicken. You preheat the oven at 350 wait 10+ minutes for it to warm up then cook another 30-40 minutes. Well how about only cooking it 15-20 minutes depending on your microwave setting. WHAT?! That cuts my time more than in half. I at first thought, oh it will be bad. Oh there's no way. Trust me it does! Magic!

Just put the chicken in add veggies, no water needed. Then a perfect healthy cooked meal. Now with all this extra time I can spend with my family instead of in front of a stove. :-) You can cook all types of meat in it too. Pulled Pork is amazing too!

Oh one more thing, for your men the Grill stuff is AMAZING! I'm getting the baskets this month, but we love the spatula and tongs, so heavy duty and long.

So go check out the website and if you have any questions about products just let me know. THANKS!!!!

Toddler

It's official. We have a toddler. No more "X" month clothes anymore. I had to do some spring cleaning of his closet yesterday and man does he have alot of Green and White now. lol.

Speaking of clothes the cold weather has returned. YAH! So guess I need to do some switching around and pull out his fall/winter clothes. This weekend I did hit up my fav consignment store to get him some new jackets and pants for this growing boy. Let me just say I love them, they will call me when they get something in stock they know I have been looking for. Like Dr. Seuss books. They got "Happy Birthday to You" and "Horton Hears a Who" in and called me instantly (They remembered me talking about the bday party I want to have). These were the large books that run for $15, which I got them for $3! I even scored him some new Cherokee jeans/brown pants $2.50 and two NICE jackets (one dressy and one casual) for $6 each. Nice thing is I didn't spend a cent of our paychecks thanks to my new business. Yah for that! :-) He loves the dressy one.

As you can see from this morning I didn't realize it was that chilly till after I got him dressed, so a jacket was going to have to do. But boy does he love being a "big boy" with his backpack and lunchbox. Love him!

Saturday was Wes' bday so after the Bama game we packed up and headed over to Gabby and Grande's for a nice meal and my wonderful cake. I wanted to make my infamous strawberry cake but Kroger didn't have Sugar Free white icing only chocolate. Boo! I was going to make the top of it look like a baseball with red icing. Oh well there is always next year. Being in the Bama spirit I even made Aiden a new preschool blanket. So cute!

First it was the clothes outgrown next it was the shoes. So Saturday morning me and Aiden packed up to find new shoes. Thankfully, Payless had alot of Wide shoes in stock or I was going to have to bit the bullet and go to Stride Rite. This little guy wears a 7 now! OMG! They even were having a special buy 1 get 1 half off. So we walked out of there with 2 shoes for $21. Score! One plain gray pair of tennis shoes. One white/navy pair of tennis shoes that lights up when he walks. He loves them! lol

Sunday when he napped I did a little project I've been wanting to do for awhile. Remove all Aiden's artwork from the frig and onto the wall. By just using a little picture wire and nails we have instant wall art surrounding the sliding glass door. Underneath the one corner we are putting a little kids table, but I'm not done with that yet.

Monday I would have gave anything for little man to nap....He probably only napped 20 minutes, and you could tell. He was cranky, emotional, and clumsy. So I pulled out his nap mat thinking that would help...that at least got him to sit down but nap not so much. We put him down at 6 and without a peep. Mommy and Daddy were so exhausted we went down shortly after too.

Hope everyone else had as great of a Labor Day weekend as we did!

Ch Cha Chan-Changes!

As everyone knows it has been very exciting times in the Lambert's household. Well we recently just had another change. Changing Daycare classrooms. My baby boy is growing up. In the Toddler 1 classroom and next the Potty Training classroom. AWWW! Too fast Too fast!

The first day they said he did pretty good for the 1st day. However, at home I knew he didn't sleep well because he was acting tired and fussy. So much that he went down at 6:20pm without a peep. And I woke him up this morning at 5:50am!! Geez boy!

Dropping him off today was not any better, he knew what was up and pouted and wouldn't walk in the door. So I swooped him up and then as I'm handing him to the teacher he holds onto my neck for dear life. I finally break free and what does he do?!?! Look at me like "Mommy! WHY!? I want to stay with you!!" and starts saying "Ma-Momma-Momma!" Breaks my heart. So I give him a kiss and tell him "You and me bud 3 days this weekend!" And he stops crying to a simple whimper and I'm off to work.

It took him about a week to adjust to his old teachers, so I'm hoping that's the case this time. However, he won't be the ladies man anymore. Going from a 2 boys - 4 girl ratio to 5 boys - 1 girl ratio. However, I'm happy because he needs to be around boys more. :-)

Maybe this afternoon I can sneak in a picture to show you how cute he is in his backpack. He LOVES wearing it now!
