I feel very overwhelmed, but very proud, that we have taken on a "Homemade Christmas". It is now November 24th and we only have 3.5 of the 12 finished. I think we will have to X a couple of them and go buy the gifts. Atleast Pat and I have decided to wait till our tax return and our Florida trip to spend monies on ourselves. That takes a lot of weight off our shoulders. Plus we will be getting the gift that we both really want. Like our new TV and a COUCH!!!! That is all I can think about.
Wish us good luck on getting the 8.5 gifts finished before Christmas!!!

"S" marks the spot.
I am so lucky that Pat and I both have the same last initial. So if/when we take the next step we won't have to change all our towels. I love the idea of having a "Theme" in every room. But I'm not a fan of themed rooms. I'm not one for light house bathrooms, cat kitchens and sea shell family rooms. I still think we should have something that links each room. My plan is to have a "S" in every room. So far we have a "S" on our wall in the living room. Here are a couple more that I would like to get from Anthropologie.com.
Would look nice in our bathroom.

My weekend...
This was a busy weekend between work, a harvest party and a baby shower. I'm glad there was time to snap a few photos. Here are some of my favorites.
Holden loves this tower. We didn't plan it, but his movies are in arms reach...Also in arms reach is all the okay or awful movies we own.
Little Miss. Lottie
Daddy and Bear at the Harvest party. Bear was a mexican lion.
And finally...Bear in an awesome sweater vest.

I'm terrible...
At this blog stuff. I wanted to try and post 1 post a day for 1 month. And I've only done like 4 out of 12 posts. I was very busy this past weekend and got close to nothing done. Atleast around the house and with christmas gifts. Thank heavens I have a wonderful boyfriend that did so much. He is amazing. I couldn't thank him enough. And I only have 3 or 4 photos to show for our busy busy weekend. Damn leaving my camera at home on Sunday. And last night we made strambolis and I wanted to take a picture...but we forgot to. They were yummy but very filling. Next time we will make a few changes. Mainly in the thickness of the crust. But for the most part, we are good to go.
I'm not doing to well in my picture taking. We used to take pictures of everything. Now forget about it. If you aren't Holden, you aren't picture worthy. Maybe someday soon we will get back in the groove of things and snap till the sun comes up.
Pictures of this weekend soon to come. Next post, I promise!!!

Hey Bear! #3
It is so crazy that next week our baby is going to be 8 months old. Just yesterday I can remember laying on the couch while Pat counted the minutes between my contractions. In 4 months Holden will be a year old! He has been learning so much lately. From learning to sit up, how to smash food with his jaw to how to pull himself up. And showing so much interest in the little things. From the dino's on his wall to the books he touches. He is in love with new things everyday too. Like his corn baby food and dogs. He is going to be an amazing child. I see a lot of love and funny sayings/expressions coming from him. I love our little guy no matter how much he keeps us awake or how many times he makes me get up to put him back on his butt.
You been here for four hour...
(This is my second post on the 4th day of the month. I'm not doing to well with this whole thing.)
I'm so sick of money troubles that I've considered becoming an asian nail tech. How hard could getting my license be? They can't even speak english. All they do is wear a mask, not talk to you and just hold out their hand when they want to be paid. Maybe just learn by reading wiki,buy the supplies and do it in my dining room. I'd feel like Dolly Parton in Steel Magnolias. If she can do it, so can I!
What really bugs me about these money troubles is its not so much day to day or month to month. Its all these doctor bills that keep looking me in the eye. Calling everyday, every hour. Filling up my inbox. "We can take $20 a month"...But I would have to pay 5 other doctors $20-$30 a month. It may not seem like a lot, but it is.
How will we ever get baby #2 if baby #1 isn't paid off?

Happy Belated Halloween! #1
Didn't go trick-or-treating this year only because Bear has no teeth. We did go trick-or-treating at Toys R Us. Mommy and Daddy ate all the yummies. Sorry Bear!
