I love you like a poke in the eye

I had big plans for Adam's birthday on Oct. 30. Luckily, I recovered from morning sickness just in time to get a nasty little cold. Finally by Thursday, I was ready to venture out into the world. I needed to vote, Adam wanted to get a haircut and go to Chick-fil-A. He loves the haircut place and was so excited to go because they have a train table. He hasn't had the privilege of going to Cool Cuts for kids the last few times since I paid $18 for half a haircut due to bad behavior. I should have made him stick it out but, I was getting the mother of the year looks from other patrons and when your child gets nicked & starts bleeding for the 3rd time you've just got to make a mom judgement call.

Our big plans were foiled when I decided to take an evening shower before going out. As I was getting dressed I was greeted by screams from the living room. I see a stick on the floor and a crying 4 year old holding his left eye. (Strangely reminescent of earlier in the week when I was greeted from screams of 4 year old holding the same eye and a can of lysol on the living room floor.) Not being a medical professional, nor an eye expert we hurried on to urgent care. I was expecting to wait hours on end to be seen but, little known fact if you have an eye injury you get bumped to the front of the line. Just remember if your kid ever breaks his arm, just poke him in the eye before you go in. It's for the greater good.

Happy 4th birthday son. Next year you get to be a pirate so we can get you an eye patch for that left eye.

Trunk or Treat

Here are some pictures from Trunk or Treat. This year our church trunk or treat was the Friday before Halloween. Apparently it's okay for my son to use his rescue ax on little girls but, not okay for other boys to swipe his ax while running away in fits of laughter.

Back to the Blog

I know I haven't posted anything in a few weeks but, there is a reason! We're pregnant! I'm about 8 weeks along and after hanging out with the greatest kids on the planet all day, I'm too exhausted to post. Plus, who wants to hear stories about yucky morning sickness anyway! I am grateful to my friends who bring me chicken nuggets (thanks Summer!) and luby's for lunch (thanks Kelly!) I can eat food, I just have a hard time preparing it, so you have no idea what this means to me!

Newest Family Photo

Here's just a snapshot of us from Sunday. Doesn't Adam's smirk say it all.

Tabletop Gallery

I actually started this project sometime ago as I was perusing the Joann's site. I have the bad habit of starting tons of projects at the same time but, have a slow finish rate. I've not let myself start any new projects until some of these old timers got off my pile of good intentions. Here's a cutesy project for my mom. I am going to let her finish each one with her favorite picture of each of her grandchildren. Her scrapbook room/office has lots of bright colors, so this should fit right in.

I'd like to apologize

I'd like to apologize to all those that may have seen my child's bum in yesterday's HS Jr. Primary. I was competely shocked & horrified as my sweet son ran back to the back of the room where I was sitting to yell out, "My pee-pee is falling out, my pee-pee is falling out!" all the while dropping his shorts and underwear down to his ankles to "fix" the situation. Oh my son, what are we ever going to do with you?
