Most of you know that my husband and I have been trying to start a company for awhile. We decided to go full force in January of this year. We know that marketing your business is a KEY ingredient in getting your name out there so people know you exist. As soon as you register your business name you start getting lots of annoying junk mail about products you can get with your company name on it. One thing we really liked was the marketing pens idea. Some companies even sent you a free pen to show you what they would look like. It is really cool to see your company name on a nice looking pen!
And just so you know Superior Slate is up and running. Things are going great!! Will let you know some specific things soon!!

No Way
By 8:30 all 5 kids asleep!!
We had a little help from the normal babysitter who comes to put Riley to sleep for us=) I actually don't think he is any harder than Ethan was a few months ago (that's right, WAS...he is doing sooo much better. Riley is just trying to push every boundary he can. I am enjoying doing homework with him, he is responding to me very well. I am so enjoying getting to know my cousins better. My uncle is only about 10 years older than me, so we played together a lot when we were younger and I couldn't wait to have cousin on my mom's side and these 3 boys are the only ones, unless you count dogs and then there are about 12 of those (Honey Bear, Bailey, Dingo, Nezzar, Mookie, Cheddar, Shadow, Preston, Buster, Daisy...I'm totally forgetting 2, oops)
=)
Anyway, the reason for this post was to say...Oh my Gosh, my hubby commented on my last post...this has got to be a once in a lifetime event...THANKS, you made my day hon!! Miss you lots too!

Finding Time
I have myself a little time. Riley is at school, Gavin,Merci and Ethan are playing outside and baby Spencer is sleeping! Wow, 5 kids are a ton of work.
Yesterday was a LONG day. We had to wake up at 6 am to get ready. We drove a few hours to an airport (it was sheaper than the one 5 minutes away...by $200) then we had to wait awhile to go on our flight. We finally arrived at our destination around 1:00, we then went to the house, Jen showed us around,a nd then we were off to drop her at the train station so she could go to the airport herself. Puerto Rico here she comes!! Then we rushed home to unpack and get settled and to meet Riley at the bus. Then we needed to do dinner etc etc. Then bedtime came with a few complications and my mom and I fell into bed around 9:30 to get awaked by the phone at 11, awaken by Ethan vomiiting a few time between 2:30 and 4:30, to Spencer waking around the time I fell back asleep. So with maybe 4 hours of sleep we were up at 6!! The day starts all over again.
Riley is 6 1/2 has down syndrome, and since we don't know exactly how to deal with his behaviors like his mommy and daddy we have a lot of resistence. He is so sweet though. All he wants is some individual attention, which is hard to give with 5 kids running around.
We sat down and did his homewrok this morning, and he was just happy to have some personal attention. He is also sick, possibly strep, but a pretty bad runny nose. His other babysitter took him to the doctors last night. So at least he is on meds now.
Then there is Gavin who is 4 1/2. He is very intelligent and talks non stop, which doesn't help when you add Merci to him, who doesn't stop talking either. LOL!!! Merci and Gavin are inseperable!
Then there is Spencer. He is the most laid back 1 year old ever!! Except when he is sleepy, which we learned last night!
But it only a few days and I am sure my Uncle and Jen can use this break!!!
Talk to you all soon.

I feel so silly. I was looking up directions to get to the Pittsburg airport and it kept asking me if I meant PittsburgH. No ,darn it I was direction tot he Pittsburg airport. I felt so dumb!
The brain cells are dwindling.
