I likey likey...

I see cute stuff hanging off of chairs at Christmas all over the place!! I so wanted to make some for mine, but be a little off on the traditional side. They turned out quite supertacular I think! I'm stoked!




Love.

I've got the bug bad already...I'm already painting stuff & pulling out decorations! I know it's a little early, but OH WELL SNELL!!!

Public Announcement

Well, if you'll notice I've changed my countdown calender at the bottom of my blog (b/c I know you all pay soooo much attention to every aspect of my blog!?) to a countdown that reflects the last day of school instead of GRADUATION. Yes, I will still be graduating, BUT...I won't be finished with school.....
..........................
.........................
..........................???????????????????????????????????????

Yes for those of you who are asking, I AM crazy! I will be graduating as a family nurse practitioner in December, but I've decided to continue on with my freaking everlasting education. I've decided that family practice is just not for me. I took a job as a nurse practitioner in the Pediatric ICU where I currently work. However, in order for me to work in that unit, I have to have a more specialized degree in pediatric care. So i'll have another freakin year! Yep, ANOTHER YEAR OF SCHOOL????????????? WTH am I thinking? Who knows?

Anyway, I've decided that with all that, walking at graduation just isn't worth it. I'm not really finished & that is supposed to symbolize an END, of which I'm not at yet, and also ...been there, done that. Ya know? Anyway, so that is just a little info for you if you wanted it!?!

Off to another year of bitching about being sick of school....

MySpace-Countdowns

I shall post yet another countdowner when I find out my new schedule!?!

Pumpkin Patch

We went for our annual trip to the pumpkin patch earlier this month. Except for this year we didn't go with our regular friends, we went with Logan's Daycare. My mom & I rode along & had a pretty good time. Logan was his usual self...lost my keys. That was fun. I know, I shouldn't have given them to him in the first place, but you know how that goes...shoulda, coulda, woulda...anyway.

Here are a few pics from that day. . .


Logan's 3y/o class...


Checking out the tractor that is going to pull the hay ride. . .oh if you only knew the excitement this causes in Logan!!!




Nana & Logan. . .




Checking out the deer. . .




Logan has recently gotten a bow & arrow set. He now thinks he should shoot everything that has fur? And act like it too!?

First Annual Pizza & Pumpkin Night

We decided to try to start a little tradition this year with the kiddies. We are going to try to start having a yearly night of Pumpkin carving & eating Pizza a few nights before Trick-or-Treating. So it'll be named "Pizza & Pumpkins" or something like that! I hope that we have more friends involved next year!

Lori had the grand idea to carve these beautiful Pumpkins, got a  cool little kit to do it with, and. . .yeah, that didn't work out too well. those little kits are %$#*&, you know? So we just stuck it out with a regular ole knife & marker. I didn't think I would like gutting the pumpkin, but let me tell you...that is a good way to take out a little stress! Awesome!! I did both! ;)

Pics from the night. . .

Logan's got the pumpkins ready to go... & here is that aweful "cheese" face again? haha






Don't hate because our pumpkins are so awesome. It's hard to be this good!


Part of what makes Pizza & Pumpkin night... Pizza & Beer! :)


After Pumpkins are all done & Baths are given, sweet little kiddos. . . .








Pumpkins, Pizza, Beer...highly recommended! Loads of fun! Can't you tell how much fun Craig was having. . .He looks like he may come right out of his skin from the excitement!

This is not reflective of the fun the Mommies & Kiddies had!

Trick-or-Treat, Smell my Feet???

Someone fabulous that I love & loves me(name will remain unknow....DAD) taught my kid how to say the grand old saying of . . .

"Trick or Treat,

Smell My Feet,

Give me something Good to Eat"

Thank goodness it didn't go to the underwear part!!! Anyway, so that is how we started off our night on Halloween!! Little man had a blast! We really had a good time watching him & Acey getting into the Halloween spirit! They "rurnt" now!! They just love it! I can't wait to see them in action again next year! I thought they would still be more standoff-ish this year, but they weren't!

They are so excited by Lori's little brother, Jack. he is 7 years old, and you know they just think he is grown. I love watching them with him! They all had a great time after the night was over playing & laughing. Kiddos are just the best, right!? Oh but to live one day more with that kind of care free spirit!!

Here are a few pics from the night!!

How cute is this lady's front door?? Love it!

You know I wonder where Logan get's this uncomfortable face when he takes pictures....not anymore.

What is this face? This kid!!!

Here is that nutty "cheese" face again!? Gotta work on that! We ran into Woody's twin along the way. . .

OMG!? This face... That is just aweful!! HAHAHA!!


? Hahahaha!!
