I've got the fever...

and I've got it bad...and it really doesn't help that all these people around me keep having kiddos.  And I'm also not helping myself when I go on pinterest and just look for cute baby stuff...le sigh.
Erich has the fever, see!

In other news, we've been kind of lazy lately, and are definitely looking forward to September where the only thing we have planned in a new baby niece or nephew around 9/19 (international talk like a pirate day mateys). Oh, and my birthday, of course.  We had a "surprise" shower in York last weekend for my sister in law, and had a nice weekend with Kant family kiddos. It could have been sunnier, but really, I didn't mind the shade...it was a nice change of pace. 





Harper started swimming lessons at Lifestrokes here in Lincoln last week, and she loved it.  It's small groups of mom/dads and the child, and they start with small things, like getting wet, holding their breath, floating with mom/dad.  I dropped the ball, (kind of, I still don't think this is my fault) this week.  They changed the class time to 1/2 hour earlier, and I didn't get the voicemail.  Well, I got it, but my gd phone doesn't always alert me of missed calls or messages, particualarly when the battery is low, which is always...so, long story short Wednesday night we left there in tears (Harper because she was disappointed to not get to swim, me because I was mad because my kid was not going to swim and because of the schedule change, don't judge)...so we went home and filled up her pool, and she was happy as a clam.  So now we know for next week at least.

Harper also got her first official haircut. I cheated on the fantastic gal that does my hair, mainly because it was kind of last minute and I had a coupon...risky. But she did a nice job, and now she can see out from under her bangs!








This weekend we're going to bbq with some friends, then go see a baseball game in Omaha. Going to be a nice night--it's farm night, and the first 2000 people get a cow bell.  Maybe that will cure my fever...
Harper and Erich on the deck...

Don't be fooled, it's not done...




Our cowgirl...Yee Haw!

I've got the fever too, Susie :( I've also gained several pounds of "sympathy weight" for all my friends who have had babes this year! Ha!

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll...

Snow Day

OK, we get it.  It's Nebraska and the weather is the worst.  It can stop snowing any time now.  Booker hopped into bed with us before 6, and when I checked the time on my phone, I was also surprised to see a voicemail from the school.  Whaaaat?  I have quit even looking at forecasts because the days I think should be cancelled are never the days that are.  Harper was ticked; she has chicks hatching at school people!  And Booker, he had to miss swim!  Then again, not having to leave the house is nice.  We put up a tent where they spent most of the day playing, fight free, while I did laundry and read my book and started uploading pictures to work on photo books because I have coupons expiring at month end. Tomorrow is a big day for Booker; we have his Kindergarten physical.  Don't mind me, I'll just be over in the corner sobbing (with Booker right next to me, because, shots.)  I feel like we just did this with Harper.  Even fo...
