Random Stuff

Man I feel cooped up today. I need to get out of this house. Dave took the car to work today so I have no vehicle. We have been inside all morning since it was kinda cold and now I am waiting for Fed Ex to deliver our 2nd booth. Jack is sleeping right now and I am sure the big Fed Ex truck will be here anytime just in time to wake him from the middle of his nap - always fun!!.

I just thought I'd post some recent pics of Jack and some pics of our house that is currently being built. So exciting to be able to walk through it now. But it will be way more exciting once I see all the carpet, cupboards, etc. done.

I am also sitting here trying to come up with ideas for Jack's b-day party. He turns 2 in one week. We are having a small party Tuesday evening. Not sure what to make for snacks and stressing about how I thought I could ever decorate a dinosaur cake - - !!

I am also thinking I need to start getting clothes ready for the new baby - I started cleaning out a closet since we don't have another dresser yet - and now I need to go through the bags and bags of jack's old baby clothes and wash them and put away. I am finally trying to also get a plan together about what we are going to do with jack once I have to go to the hospital - it is hard if we don't have family close by. But I do have one friend already lined up - better get more back up just in case. lots to think about and too much to do - I also need to start getting packed to move or at least purging things, etc. It looks like hopefully we may be able to move in February now instead of March - here is to hoping. More room would be nice.

And I've only started to think about Christmas. I did order my Christmas cards - I felt very organized and accomplished when this got done last week. Finally not scrambling at the last minute for those. Can't wait to get those in the mail! I at least know what I am buying everyone - now just need to find time to go out and shop!! Which is the fun part!

Okay - seeing how much I have to do I better get off my butt and do something eh!!! ....or I can just sit here for 20 more minutes and wait for Oprah's Favorite Things episode - can't wait to watch that!!!

Happy Halloween 2008

This year jack was an Elephant! Jack wasn't so sure about his elephant costume. He was kinda scared of the big nose on this costume. For weeks and days we talked about him putting on his costume and he always said "no". But we practiced knocking on everything in the house and then saying "Trick or Treat". Finally on Halloween night, I brought his costume down and he did not want to put it on - he just wanted to play with his toys. I suggested we go outside and play and he agreed but I said we need to put something warm on since it was so cold - and he agreed - and out of our astonishment he put on the costume no worries! And he loved it!


We did not go out long - he initially loved going door to door and getting candy but it was getting dark and many of the kids in costumes were scaring him - plus some houses were decorated really scary which he didn't like - so we didn't go for long - but he did have a fun time and his parents were appreciative of him getting dressed so we could have all his candy!!


enjoy the pics!
