Home!

I am happy to say the vacation was a success and I will have a fun filled story soon ;)

It's so hard somedays

I feel saddened by all the loss lately. The Seattle PD who was killed for being a police, not a human in the killers eyes. It sucks, it could be anyone, my husband.  Thankfully has come home safe.  I don't know what I would do if this happened.  I can't imagine having such a huge out pouring of support. It would be over-whelming.  I am sure comforting. My best to the family who must go on day to day now.
And for those soldiers who were killed. How horrific. To be in a "safe zone"  and to be killed by someone who is to be your "brother".  I can't imagine what it must be like for the families who live there, to have it hit them at home.  Not just fearing the deployments but now fearing someone losing it.  And for all those soldiers who may already be struggling with PTSD, what will this do?  I can't imagine this will be good for many psychologically.  I hope the government realizes this and gets off there ass and paper hold ups and mandates treatment for all those who could be affected by this.  I am so sorry to those families!

Ch ch ch changes

Check out how different Booker's eyes are.

This was in January, very blue!

This was today, very...... different

Shopping can be fun....

Today I went to the mall and got some new bra's. Oh yeah!  The ones I have had the past 18 months or so are in shreds.  Plus they are nursing bra's anyway and now that my boobs are some new version of themselves it was time to find something that actually fit.
Macy's was having bra fittings all day so I got to try on a bunch of bra's and found 3 that I liked. They were affordable and on sale on top of it all.  I can't wait to get them on. I am sure it will make me feel human under my clothes again.

I also found our christmas tops for everyone. We will be very cute in a sorta matching way but not over kill ;)

As mentioned before... my work of art. My haunted hallway!

This is probably the most artistic I have ever been, I am quite proud of myself.

What is he doing??

Oh that Booker.

He has decided to start randomly hitting his head on the floor. Always on purpose sometimes hard sometimes gently but always cries afterwards.  Today he included my back and the baby gate in on his head hitting. WHAT IS THAT?
I don't like it. Hope it passes soon.

Happy Halloween!

I am exhausted! I MEAN EXHAUSTED.  And I don't get an extra hour tonight because babies don't know what that is all about.  But for all of you who do. ENJOY!


Today was the exciting party for the kiddos.  I spent so many hours making this the best party they will ever go to. I feel I succeeded ;P

They came in the front door to play the guess that "body part" game, then some haunted fishing amongst our haunted trees.

Then it was upstairs for food games and crafts. The kids loved running around, eating the only un-healthy choices I put out and making sticker crafts.
The parents seemed to be at ease and enjoy the festivities as well. I hope everyone who got to come had a grand time. I am sorry that some of you were unable to make it do to colds or other obligations. We missed you!!!!


Here are some photos. (I am going to take some better shots of my hallway ... stay tuned for those soon.

In case you are wondering, Booker and I were spiders, but we didn't get any good shots of my costume before it stopped functioning, and Booker was in and out of his the whole party since he had to be held most of the time. It was pretty bulky! (probably over stimulated by all the chaos)

Blank

It seems when I get together with friends I haven't seen for awhile the inevitable, "what have you been up to?" Question comes up. I can never think of an answer anymore.  Besides the obvious day in and day out what have I been up to?. I ponder and stare at them blankly and try and come up with something. But I can't.  It seems I do so much in a day with just the Bookerman that I forget all the big things I have done. Of course I go back to my car and all of the wonderful things I had been up to pop in my head and I can't help wonder why I can never seem to remember when I am put on the spot.   Instead I sound like I am holed up in my house prisoner.  But, while many days I may chose to stay in my house, I never feel like I am going stir crazy.  My house is so open and airy with so many windows and views that I feel like I live outside a lot.  Even when I don't dare step outside.

Almost there

Halloween stuff is almost done and almost meaning I probably still have 40 percent to do but.. I think I will get a could chunk of hours to do it tomorrow and Friday we are doing a lot of food and decor prep since Booker will be staying with the in-laws so It will be crunch time.
(if that's no a run on sentence I don't know what is)
YIKES....

My graveyard is up, It fell down when I did it last friday which in turn caused the weight of this project to also come crashing down HARD on my head so I had a bit of a panic attack. Travis took care of some things to make it easier on me and it helped a lot.

Here are some photos, They don't do it justice but the scale is much larger then it looks in these pictures.

This spider is 4 feet and the web is about quite large.

This is one of maybe 6 trees (I still have 2 more to make) That will go in my forest hallway.  They are around 9 feet tall. Floor to ceiling.
