Fall Fun!!!

Saturday our HOA hosted a fall festival at our park. They had a petting zoo, bounce house, face painting, games, food & drinks. It was a beautiful day to spend time outside with my boys. The sun was shining with only a slight breeze to help keep you cool. Of course Cayden was only interested in the petting zoo. I was able to get him to drink some but then it was straight back to the goats & chickens. That boy isn't afraid of anything! He was amazing all of the other parents at how affectionate he was without any hesitation. I'm not so sure that that is a good thing.......

Circus Fun!!!

Thursday night we took Cayden to the Shrine Circus. He LOVED the animals! I think that he did such a good job, he sat still for the 1st 40 minutes, after that he was only interested when the animals were performing. He had absolutely no interest in the gymnast what so ever! Then it was intermission so we got to take a break and go for a walk. When Cayden & I returned for the RR, his Daddy surprised us with a light saber-OH BOY!!! (And thank goodness for Tylenol cause that thing is LOUD but he sure does love it!) So the 2nd half of the show, when he got bored, light saber to the rescue! Sure glad that the couple in front of us didn't mind getting poked more than once.

ENORMOUS cabinet!!!!

Well here it is.....the GREAT BIG cabinet!!! It really isn't that bad. It looks like it has always been there. I am just glad that we didn't have to pay for the damn thing-Thanks to Jaime for making it!!! I am also glad that there isn't some ugly ass green metal safe sitting in the middle of my hallway.

Now if only I could keep the dead animals from appearing on my walls-HA! Not going to happen but it was a nice thought.

Things that I have, or at least have to, learn to live with. My life will always be surrounded by Bob (the deer in the entry way) and the bird coffin, I mean coffee table, in the entry way....and I realize that those are only the beginning of my personal little bass pro shop. Golf clubs, bows, guns and all that man-ly shit will always be the decor of my home. Because of this I believe that in the next house I deserve a pink scrapbook room to escape to! I love my boys but why couldn't they just scrapbook along side me-hehehehe!!!!

I survived!!!!

Well friends.....I made it through the weekend un-harmed! I missed my little guy but it was nice to be able to hang out with the girls on Saturday and do things that I love.

Saturday I was at Michaels by 9AM, Tim Holtz was there doing demos all day. Did a really cool make-n-take.....made butterfly pins using his grunge board that they die-cut, then ran through the cuttlebug to emboss. Used dabbers to paint, then sanded, and sprayed with a glimmer mist, added the metal stuff and poof....a beautiful butterfly. That GRUNGE BOARD is some really cool stuff. It is better than chipboard. You can get it wet and it won't tear up, you can even wash & dry it without messin' it up! A little freaky!

I also did a make-n-take in the new & fabulous beading section of the store. It looks like a candy store with all the different colors & beads. I enjoyed it so much that I came home and made another bracelet with the left over beading stuff that they sent home with us.

Makes me want to pick up a new hobby!!!! As if I need something else to add to my "TO DO LIST"

So as you can tell, I really enjoyed myself on Saturday and if Cayden had been here, I wouldn't have been able to do attend the Michael's Re-Grand Opening & the other creative things.

Some of us girls went across the parking lot for lunch at Red Robin, that place is sooooo good!!

I made a stop at the house to check on the dogs & pick up some scrapbooking stuff and off to the NFWBC to crop with Marylee & some new ladies. They were ALL sooo nice!! I was great to hang out with such a nice group of ladies. I think that I am going to try to join that group more often.

Here's to creating and giving Mommies a well deserved break!!!!!!!

43 Days is WRONG!

My ticker says that I have 43 days left till baby comes but that is wrong. That is when my due date was November 22 or whatever but now it is the 17th which sounds much better to me!!!!
Just wanted to point that out cuz I am tooo lazy to go to the site and change it all and try to get it to post again....that was alittle difficult for me-hehe! I'm not the best when it comes to computer stuff. That is why my blog is not very pretty. I keep trying to change stuff but no luck so far. Oh well!!!

HOME ALONE!!!!!!!!

My boys left for Kansas around noon today. It is offical, I am HOME ALONE!!! Not sure what I am going to do without my little man. Although he does drive me crazy sometimes it is going to be hard to go without him around this weekend. I think that tonight will be the hardest on me. I am sure that he will do just fine! Of course I cried when I put in the truck and didn't want to let him go, and his Daddy said that it is only 2 days! I know that I will enjoy the break but......want him to stay but want him to go kinda thing.
I have plenty to keep myself busy though. I am working on a Christmas gift/frame that I am hoping to complete and check off of my list tonight. Then tomorrow morning one of our Michaels is having a grand opening and Tim Holtz is going to be there and lots of stuff going on so I plan on checking that out. Then sometimes after that I am going to go to a crop at a church near my house, it is all day, from 10-10. Don't know how long I will last but it will be fun. Hopefully I can complete another Christmas gift while I am there and hopefully get started on the 3 canvas' for the nursery. Then that leaves Sunday-guess that I will just have to go shopping to keep my heart from making me cry over my boy! Notice how CLEANING is no where in the plan-HA! Although, I have thought that this would be a good weekend to have a housekeeper secretly clean and then I could take the credit for it-hehe!
I've stopped by the hospital to visit Lynn but she is sleeping so I am just sitting here. I will stay till I can't take it anymore.

Shoe Obsession!!

I have no idea where he gets it from either........
This boy is cracking me up more and more everyday. He has always loved his shoes and wants them on most of the time but lately he goes back to his room, after I put his PJ's on, gets his shoes and fusses for me to put them on. So he is running around the house in PJ's and shoes. He has sooo many shoes already it is ridiculous. I will have to try to get a picture of him in his slippers one evening, it is the cutest thing ever. His Dad can't help buy laugh at him when he is wearing them.
A boy and his shoes!!!! I wonder if he is going to be one of those kids that has to wear his boots with everything and every where?!?! Time will tell.
