Too Cute Tuesday... Happy St. Patty's!

This is one of my favorite days of the year! Spring, Hubby's bday, green, rainbows, the word "blarney," they all get me excited. This year we made Leprechaun traps in our classes. It was so much fun to see them all work together to concoct some sort of plan to trap a leprechaun. Remember, these are kindergarteners. They worked so hard on these! I thought you all would love to see them...

This one is pretty neat. The leprechaun is supposed to think the bell is gold and grab it. When he pulls on it the door is attached to the bell via string and pulls closed like a draw bridge, trapping the leprechaun inside. There are little pillows, air holes, a pipe cleaner soaked in water (if he gets thirsty) and a couple of tiny pieces of my granola mix for food.

With this one, there is a second hole with "gold" tempting him to jump in. Once inside he will get confused and caught in all of the stuff.

This one is funny. There is actually a cup in there that you can't see. He is supposed to think that the bottle (with glued on sequins) is treasure. Once inside he will see the sparkly sequins baited under the cup. The cup will fall over on him and he will be trapped. There are bells attached to let you know when he is caught.

The point of this last one is to coax him to the egg. Once in the egg, he will fight and get stuck in the glue dotted in the bottom and the egg will close trapping him inside.

Hopefully they will catch one tomorrow. I am afraid I will have to miss out on the fun. I have to go run down a vial of hcg tomorrow and get it to the doc by 9am for an injection. Fun times.

A Wonderful Gift! (Show and Tell)

Friday I got paid, and Hubby and I did all of the necessary running around before he left for work in order to pay the bills. Our final stop was at the rent office. I ran in to pay and Hubby volunteered to grab the mail. When I climbed back in the car, my seat was taken over by a box! I knew immediately what it was and squealed with delight.

I raced up the stairs and opened the box. My eyes glazed over with wonder at all of the beautiful colors packed inside. Thank you, thank you, thank you to my wonderful friend Kristin! I can't wait to make something wonderful in return!

The Sisterhood

Thanks to wonderful, fabulous VA Blondie over at Do Without Doing I have received the Sisterhood Award! This is such a perfect award because I truly feel like I have found a sisterhood of wonderful women to help me stumble around on this icky, bumpy road. I feel very blessed to be included in this amazing circle! Thank you very much VA! I love ya!

The rules for accepting the award are as follows: Put the logo on your blog or post. Nominate at least 10 blogs with great attitude and/or gratitude. Be sure to link to your nominees in your post. Let your nominees know they have received the award by leaving them a comment on their blog. Be sure to link this post to the person who nominated you for the award.

These are my nominees in no particular order (My brain is not working well enough for any sort of order right now!).

1. Leanne has a great blog and two beautiful new babies! I've been reading her for a long time and I think she is fabulous!

2. Jenni at Trying to Become Pregnant With PCOS has been in my group of reads for a long time too. I love her funny stories. She has had a very hard road, but finally she is close to the end of the finish line!

3. Emily is another long time read. She has been through so much and she still keeps going. I admire her perserverance and strength so much.

4. WaterBishop at An Older Version has a wonderful blog. She has gone through a lot lately and could use a virtual hug.

5. May is awesome! I love the way she writes her posts.

6. Awake on the Night Shift always has fun posts too. I look forward to seeing her pictures and captions.

7. Un-Simple Procreation is a fun blog. She has just changed her blog, but she linked it on her old one. I am so happy that she has crossed the finish line and has a beautiful little girl for a prize!

8. Betty always has something fun to say. She has a lot going on right now and I hope she does whatever makes her the happiest!

9. Who doesn't love Kristen!? I've been reading her blog for a long time and she has been a wonderful support sister for me!

10. Finding Motherhood is last on the list. I lost her for a while after a comp crash mixed up my fav's list and I was overjoyed to find her again with a little one on the way!

I guess that wraps it up. There are tons more out there that have been such a wonderful source of encouragement and warm fuzzies for me. I don't know what I would do without you all!

*******Oh yeah! By the way... A Very happy birthday to Eden!

Too Cute Tuesday...An Extra Leg

The little boy that did this gave me his description of his creation this morning. I asked him why he had added another leg. He looked at me with a "Duh" expression and said, "I wanted him to run faster Mrs. Arian!"

This is one of the few I have seen in the past years that was purely unintentional.

New Critters!

Hubby was so awesome on Thursday after our appointment. He let me get new fish! They are Paradise Gouramis. They still remain nameless, but hopefully will have names this week as well as a new tank. Oh yes and please pardon the mish mosh of gravel and decor. This tank at one time belonged to a very special little girl's hermit crab and I haven't been able to let go of the rather "colorful" decor. Perhaps next week I can show you pictures of the happy couple in their new home!

Check out what the rest of the class is showing!

The Verdict

We have two more cycles.

We are going to try 100mg of clomid this month with an ultrasound on day 13. If that doesn't work, we will try one cycle with 150mg and he will monitor that one as well. If that doesn't work.... off to the clinic we go.
