My Poor Mom

What a day. I had an amazing time at a coaching clinic I attended. I know to most it would be a very boring day but I got a kick out of it. The host was absolutely hilarious. I laughed all day and learned a ton.

But....my poor mother was at home with the kids all day long. Now she probably has a really good idea why I didn't want to stay in GA and be a single mom while Steve is deployed. On a side note...Stevie is really going through a rough time and its hard because on one hand I need to discipline him for being a monster...or otherwise known as a typical 3 year old...but on the other hand I know he is really hurting because his dad has left him. Ok, back to the story... The 3 of them...Lilly, Stevie, and Nana, plus the dog....went to the river and fed the geese. Stevie apparently, charmed every group of people he met into giving him bread to feed the birds. I can just see him chatting up every person that walked by. Mom said Stevie ran for 2 solid hours and between chasing the dog and making sure Stevie didn't fall in the river, Mom got a workout!!!

I guess he did pretty good for Nana until nap time. He refused to take a nap and when Nana tried to insist, the little bugger nose peed on the floor. Can we say stubborn? I wonder where he gets it. Then she asked him to put on a pull-up since he peed in his underwear and he put on three. He is a stinker through and through. When I got home he informed me that he didn't take a nap but rested for a little while. I swear he talks like a 10 yr old.

But the day is over and we survived. Nana went to bed at 9pm, a little bit before Stevie...and I had to laugh just a little bit. Thank God I'm here. I don't think I would have survived this without Nana and Papa's help!!

So frustrated!!!

I'm so frustrated that I don't have my Stampin Up Catalog yet and all my friends do. They are talking about how great it is and how everything is too cute....and yet all I found in the mail box was junk!!! Maybe tomorrow!

Halloween ScrapCrap

I'm so happy with these 2 pages. I did the spider webs with glue and silver cord...it took forever but I love the effect. This was such a great day for us. I was 5 months prego and it was Stevie's first pumpkin carving. He had a ball drawing all over his. After he finished drawing his face, his dad helped him (did all the carving) with the knife!

The interesting part was what happened when Steve and I were finishing our pumpkins, but Stevie was done with his. We should have known from the silence in the house that something was wrong...We turned around to find Stevie coloring with a black marker all over the back of our couch. In his hands were a permanent marker and a washable crayola maker. Both markers had the lids off. We had a 50/50 shot at having a ruined couch. Luck must have been on our side because he had used the washable one and we were able to dry clean it all better.

We went to a cool Halloween party all dressed up. My only option was the M&M costume because that was the only thing that fit over my prego form. The only crappy part was we didn't get a picture of Steve in his costume. Bummer!

Strike Two

Ok this is my second attempt at getting a post on my site. We will see what happens....

As I have already written once...I'm trying to move into the 21st century and see if I can get into the whole blogg thing. Plus my good friend Roxann has inspired me to try this thing out. I love how she can really open up and write about things going on in her life. Plus if you knew Roxann, she is an inspiring person all on her own.
