Cards, Donating Blood, and He's Walking!

I made this card a couple of weeks ago.  It is seriously so cute!  I mean, an image of a whale with the sentiment, "Get Whale Soon".. I mean, it can't get any cuter than that!  But for some reason, I think this card is lacking in something else.  But I think I will keep it the way it looks.  It's available for sale at my etsy page at www.etsy.com/shop/SerendipityKisses

Yesterday my husband went to go donate blood.  It is something he enjoys doing.  I love that he's giving back to the community by doing something so good like this.  I would love to do that but unfortunately, I'm terrified of needles.  When I was pregnant with my kids, they would have to give me shots every once in a while and I was scared and had to look away.  I am such a big ole baby when it comes to them!

I was planning on making a veggie stir fry for dinner last night.  But when my husband got home from donating blood, we went to the mall so he could buy some more work pants and to walk around.  We usually try to avoid going to places like the mall when our daughter is all over the place and doesn't listen.  But she was so good yesterday.  She listened to me and didn't run off on me, and when we went in a store and it was time to leave, she didn't cry or fuss about it.  The best part was when we ate our dinner, we went to the food court and had Subway.  When she wanted a bite of our sandwich or chips, she said "please" to us.  It totally blew me away because usually she just grabs our food.

On another good news, our son is walking now.  He still teeters here and there but he's walking!  I remember when our daughter was eleven months old, she was standing on her own; at twelve months she was pushing a tote and walking with it; and by thirteen months she was walking on her own.  Our son is almost sixteen months old and just now he's walking.  I heard the old saying "Girls talk first and boys walk first."  But I guess that didn't happen with my kids.  My daughter's first word came out when she was five and a half months old and she was walking by thirteen months.  My son's first word came out when he was four months old and he's now walking now at almost sixteen months.

I have been itching to do something crafty lately, but haven't done anything.  Boo.
