Interview Update

So Chad had a phone interview with the University of Houston, he got a Second Interview!! They are flying him out on Tuesday and he'll be coming home Wednesday night!!! So exciting, but nerve wrecking, or is it wracking? hmm...anyways, I don't even want to think about it!!

I'm going to Utah on October 7-13. I need spending money!! Do any of you know of anyone who would want to buy bows??? Sorry, I had to ask. www.bonnybluebows.blogspot.com

I am breaking out like crazy. When will this ever end??

Why do I like food so much?

Particularly chocolate.

WHY, WHY, WHY!!!

I was doing sooooooooooo GOOD until Chad brought me these! Shame on you Chad, SHAAAME!!!...but it was oh SOO scrumptious.

He got it from the russell stover factory in Cookeville for $6. Its the chocolate that has flaws, if it had any flaws, I didn't taste it.

I ran 1 mile today and walked/ran another one. Maybe that will make up for the chocolate I ate...doubt it.

P.S. Thanks for the comments on the dress, I meant to mention below that I have never sewed an article of clothing before in my life, my dear mother in law guided me through half of it. It's a good thing you can't see it up close b/c there are a lot of flaws, but I figured for its for Halloween, who cares. Thanks Vicki for helping me!! Love you!

I think I'm going to get a piece of Chocolate now..brb...................mmmm...that was good.

So much for that run.

Okay, nobody guessed it...

this is what she is going to be:



I was thrilled when she told me she wanted to be shirley temple, she is always walking around singing, "Animal Crackers in my soup..."

Look what I finished yesterday!!!!




Can anyone guess what Hallie is going to be for Halloween?


The dress is actually A LOT shorter then it looks in the picture, I think it was the angle that I took the picture.

Any Suggestions?

I need a new camera. Anyone have any advice? I have heard the Canon powershot is great!!

A Day Out with Thomas

So last weekend I took Owen to Ride Thomas because he filled up his potty Chart and he has done SOO well with potty training here are a few pictures from the day.


Here we are with Sir Thoppam Hat:


They had a tent with all the different types of Thomas trains


Here he is on the Train:


And here is Thomas, there was a LOOOOOOOOONG line to take a picture with Thomas and well I just didn't want to stand in the hot sun and wait.


My favorite picture


Showing Daddy his whistle:


Ice Cream afterwards, what a great ending to a fun day:


Good Job Owen! Thanks for making your Mommy's life much easier!!

Hey! Guess what!?!

I'm going to Utah!! ~to visit my lovely sister Brittany and her cute babies (that includes you too cameron!) I'm so excited!! AND...Guess what else???? I ran a mile straight tonight!! STRAIGHT. Don't think I've ever done that, except for on a tread mill. Why is it that I can handle an hour of boot camp, but 10 minutes of running kills me? I started running a week and 4 days ago. But i didn't run at all this week, except for today. I was training for the 5k, but then I got that plane ticket...ohh shucks...Maybe if I keep it up I'll look like this:


...What? I think she's sexy.

AND...Chad has a job interview with the University of Texas. That's right, he still hasn't found a job. And, NO I do NOT want to move to TX, but I will for a good job.

Miserable.

So this week Chad has been out of town: ALLLLLL week :( He's been working for his Dad in Cookeville. On top of that, I've been sick, one of those colds that make you feel like you have the flu, that just will NOT go away. It seems like it's getting worse, not better. I cried alot yesterday, I felt miserable and I wasn't being a good mommy, I just didn't feel like it. Owen also kept getting into everything! The chewing of the glue gun sticks was my last straw, I broke down, right when Abby's mommy, Jocelyn, came to pick her up, how embarrassing. She must have thought, wow, she must really love those glue gun sticks, but it wasn't just that, it was the dumping of the laundry, the throwing of the popcorn, the spilling of the water (all over my living room), etc, etc...all the stuff she hadn't seen. I went to my moms house, when we returned home I found this sitting by my front door:



How sweet is she??? Jocelyn sure did make my day, that and the two Benadryl pills I took to help me go to sleep last night, sigh. Too bad that stuff wouldn't let me get out of bed this morning. The kids woke up at 6:30 as usual. I got up, put a movie on, gave them a granola bar, their sippy cups and went back to bed. Please don't think I"m a horrible parent. I listen to what they're doing. A little while later, when I heard cereal being poured into a bowl, I found this hiding behind my couch:


If you are wondering what was in her cereal bowl It was this:

And a few raisins thrown in there, Owen had one too, I think they thought it was cereal. I feel horrible.

Oh well, all is quiet right now, I better go see what they're up to. ;)
