BOO!

We are so ready for Halloween.

Good thing tomorrow is October 1st, hu?

During nap time today, I felt a little crafty. 
It turned out nothing like I wanted it to.  I didn't have orange paint.  But it was fun to make.  I had made too "O's" for the "BOO" but then found the googly eyes.  So much better!
Faye loves it as well.  Every single time I set her on the ground, she makes a bee line for it.  Her adorable uncertain but careful walk.  She goes as fast as her chubby little legs will let her, the whole time looking behind to make sure I am not watching.  She had picked it up, carried it nearly out of the room, saw me coming, turned around and rushed to put it back.  I had to laugh.  I think I am in trouble when she gets older... or now. 

Just for the record, in that photo, I had just set her down from eating, turned around to get a wash cloth, and she was off.  I didn't get to wash her face before she found the sign.  Silly girl.

 

And tomorrow is our annual October 1st Celebration!  I let have been in the kitchen for the past few days cooking up treats for the big event.  I may be just a smidgen more excited than Keith is.  Ichabod Crane, cider, popcorn balls and friends!  Bliss is on the menu tomorrow!

You just make me smile, Amy. I guess in an involuntary way. Imagine that?!?

Love your craft project. The googly eyes for the O's looks adorable.

Man, I need to move by you so I can babysit. She is beyond sweet.

Heavenly Presents

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
