Creative Friday

Today was the day. I had told Eva when she went back to diapers that I wasn't going to buy any more, and we used the last one last night. She knew it was coming, but she was less than pleased this morning.

I warned Jill that it could get ugly. I warned her that Max was home sick with a sinus infection. She came anyway. (hip, hip, hooray!)

Let's face it, it did get a little ugly. Eva was just a mess. But I went ahead and did what I never had to do with my boys: the sticker chart, the treats. The bribery. She's kind of into the chart, and she's definitely into treats, so wish me luck! No accidents today, anyway.

I've been cutting down on my diet Coke, and have only had two cans since last Friday. I was never so happy to get a Sonic vanilla diet Coke than I was today! I even felt compelled to label it as my own -- with the new awesome pen that Jill brought me. Thanks, Jill.

Denise is in town getting Charlotte & Emily settled at BYU. They dropped by to "crash" Creative Friday. I'm not sure it can even count as crashing when I hadn't gotten anything out to work on yet. I was of course happy to see them. And Denise, Lucas was upset when he found out that you were here and he didn't get to see you!

I love how I was telling them to look at the lens, and then I was the only one looking at the screen. $@%!

Jill's envelope of cute stamps. I think I'm in love! I usually get the dumb bell ones in line at the grocery store.

An hour before Jill left, I finally got out some supplies. (Hooray, hooray for Eva taking a nap!) I think it was a new low productivity-wise, but you know what? Doesn't matter. I like just looking at my stuff, and of course, talking with Jill. Creative Friday always serves its purpose(s). And homemade chocolate chip cookies don't hurt -- thanks, Jill!
