loving:
the “extra” energy i seem to be having in the afternoons and evenings. (not so much in the mornings). i have been patiently waiting for the nesting bug to hit and i have a feeling it’s coming up. i sure hope it is at least, because ummm i have a long list of things to do within the next few weeks! my mind is racing with all sorts of things that need to be done/want to get done. i should get my priorities straight too. ha.
anticipating: taking a mini road trip in a few weeks (probably my last one for awhile) to visit the family back home! taking miss P to her first state fair of texas experience! i used to go every single year growing up when i lived there. i haven’t been in awhile so it’ll be fun. super excited about all the food, of course!
eating: speaking of food…fried okra has been my craving lately! oh yes. i have been making it quite a bit. oops. also, i’ve noticed i’ve been craving salty foods. hmm i should work on that.
creating: like a crazy woman, i am working on about 5 different projects at the moment. i seriously need to just sit down and finish one before i move on. ha. i’m trying to do tutorials on some of them but i need to do it during the day and unfortunately miss P seems to be taking shorter naps than usual. lol. oh well.
happy about: my last midwife appointment went well. she gave me an A+. ;) she said this baby is measuring a little smaller than P did (she also said P could be a 9 pounder!) so i am very happy that this baby won’t be THAT big. :)
thankful for: the mister. he (happily) dedicated his whole saturday to us and it was wonderful. being married to a hard working man who works crazy hours can be hard, so i am very thankful for the times we do have together. thanks love! (we got so much done too huh??) :)

what are “currently” up to??? link back to me so i can learn. :)

halloween costume ideas

Category: everyday | September 21st, 2012


i am loving this pic of miss P. this was last year for her first halloween. we had such a good time, but i am even more excited for this year because 1) she can walk up to the doors now and 2) she will have a better idea at what’s going on….or at least until she realizes what she gets when she goes up to the door. i may be a bit excited myself about all her candy. :) i had fun making her candy corn costume last year…it was pretty easy and she actually kept the tutu and headband on the whole time. this year i am not so sure how she will manage with “props.” i have a few ideas that i’ve seen on pinterest that i think she will tolerate and that i can make myself (while not taking forever and a day).

the mister and i didn’t dress up last year but we did the year before when i was pregnant with P. good ole juno. :) (i totally left my sunny d jug at home). i want to dress up again but i have no idea what. i’m loving all the pregnant costume ideas. hmmm. do you make your kiddos costumes??
