It's my BLOG and I'll cry if I want to

Our old rug was just plain nasty! No matter what I did it would not get clean. The kids would have black socks and the baby would have black knees and feet from crawling. We got lucky and knew someone getting a new rug and their old one was still in great shape (oh to have money to change things like that just because....) they offered it to us and we just couldn't say no.

the old rug...the picture just doesn't show how "dirty" it really was



Here is a picture of the new rug.

Sorry all that I got sidetracked and just picked a winner. We have been busy all week moving furniture out of two rooms and laying new rug. We are done (except for some small cleanup left for me) and I will post a picture later. But for now here is your winner

Such a happy baby she is....Diva crawls everywhere at the speed of light and is into everything! She pulls herself up to stand on the sofa and anything else that will hold still long enough. She went to her first football games this past weekend to watch her oldest brother play! And food??? There is nothing this girl won't eat! She LOVES eating. She is such a blessing to have around!

We got the chance to check out the new Zhu Zhu pet hamsters. Zhu Zhu Pets are the world’s first innovative, realistic, interactive, plush, and artificially intelligent hamsters that talk and move around in their own playsets. Zhu Zhu Pets include two play modes: nurturing mode where the hamsters coo and purr, and adventure mode where the hamsters explore their habitat with intelligent audio and mechanical responses to various habitat stimuli. Over a dozen add-ons can be purchased to build an ever-evolving hamsterworld for your hamsters to play in and explore. Zhu Zhu Pets are the newest craze among kids and expected to be the most popular toy of the year.
My kids (and cat) definitely loved these little guys! We had some of the neighbor kids over to play with them and take one home. Everyone had so much fun playing with their new pets and the habitat for them. The hamster ball was the biggest hit! The sets are easy to put together in fact my 12 year old put all of them together for his siblings. Getting pictures was tough, no one sat still long enough to really get pictures even the cat was chasing them thinking they were real....but here are a few
