Very Scary Pre-Halloween

He has this "testing boundaries" look.

Like a little kid when you tell them not to touch something

and they put their finger over it about to touch it and look at you and how you react

Don't worry he wasn't going as fast as the picture makes it look.

Don't worry, Miss Daisy is in safe hands!

Tear Jerker

I saw these pictures today and just cried.

Its so wierd.

I can't believe I have a baby & that it came out of me & that it was in me.

The best part is the smeared mascara

Daisies in October

Somer-bertos

I made a reserve of burritos.

I was going to make a reserve of lasagna and jambalaya

But my feet started to hurt from standing cooking burritos.

If I am still pregnant tomorrow I will make another dinner then.

Preparing for Children

Guess what the dogs got into?

A pad of ink.

I thought dogs were suppose to leave footprints in your heart

not all over your carpets. 

Needless to say I spent most of this morning spraying and scrubbing puppy paw prints out of the carpet.

I used two things of carpet cleaner and one roll of paper towels.

And Now it looks like I have sausage fingers

because the cleaner bleached my fingers.

But through it all I was surprisingly not mad or upset.

Maybe thats the mother getting ready in me.

So that I don't kill a kid when they poop on the floor or something.

Bollywood Love Letters

Isn't there something a little magical in receiving a hand written letter?

Especially when its from your lover.

Franklin went to world market a month or so ago and bought me a few things

just for no reason or to make me feel better.

And these paper scrolls were one of the things.

(made in India & used by royalty to write love letters or important notes)

& a not so special day (today)

I decided I would write him a love letter. 

(So I may have cried the whole time I was writing it)

But I just wanted to let him know how much I love and appreciate him

 & all that sappy stuff.

(I may have started crying while writing that)

... This pregnancy thing has made me one big emotional mess.

Sorry.

Change

I hate when good friends leave.

But I am glad we got to hang out a Jesterz and go out for Neilson's frozen custard after.

I will miss them all lots.

Look at the button jar countdown..

it is even behind.

There is only three days left... not five.

I took this picture a few days ago but couldn't find my computer connector.

Pinteresting Crafts I Must Attempt

(Thanks to)

Wouldn't these be so cute around Christmas as giant ornaments?

Or for any birthday party.

(Thanks to)

I would buy this in a store for mucho dinero

I love the blue colors in it.

This shall be my first crafting endeavor

I need to buy a bag of balloons.

(Thanks to)

Franklin is going to make this for our daughter in the future.

That is mandatory.

I remember I always wanted a doll house

But they were always too expensive.

aww. Such a cute father&daughter project

(Thanks to)

I need to do this so I can remember everyones birthday.

Otherwise I find out the day of.

Autumn Gardening

So as I was picking some weeds I thought

"The front yard needs some sprucing up"

What better way to do that with some pansies

and other flora.

PS.

It looks a lot better in real life...

Believe it or not this gardening task really wore me out.

But its so cute! & perfect timing for the near arrival of little Daisy.

Sitting, Waiting, Trying to Keep Busy

Look at my new earrings. Should have probably saved the money but they were like two dollars...

I can justify two dollars...

But the only problem was that I justified several cheap things...

Which added up to one bigger bill.

Which is why I am decked out in my new not so shabby apple outfit today!

I am hoping this shirt looks real good after I loose that bump!

Oh I also got some cute nail polish

So I can have some cute nails while birthing

Oh and look at the addition to baby Daisy's room

<33333

It reminds me of the flying keys in Harry Potter

Miss Mandy would be so proud.

This is what I call fall

I feel like this is the REAL first day of fall.

Overcast and 70 degrees.

Today would be a nice day to go into labor 

(maybe if I didn't have to work and make some more money)

I think the horizontal stripes make it look bigger than it is...

I love my little Rag Nut

 Such a happy Grozny

38 weeks and 1 day...

BFFs for eva!

Nesting

 So I have heard about this "nesting" thing...

and I was wondering when it was going to hit me.

For the past nine months I have either lived in a house with boxes, dirty, or not quite nested.

I think that nesting thing might have hit today.

Too bad I have to go to work otherwise I could probably keep going.

It started with me canceling my spa day to do my own spa day (saving a pretty penny)

Its alright I sat around in a robe for free.

Then I went grocery shopping started making pumpkin pie &  Jambalaya

Odd combo but yum.

I tried to make enough Jambalaya so that if I went into labor I would have enough not cook for a while.

Then pumpkin pie <3 you know how I am falling in love with this whole "autumn" thing.

(I should have probably have taken a picture before I cut into it... lesson learned)

oh and I cleaned & cleaned and somehow moved a table across the house by myself.....

Don't worry! what is going to happen? I'll go into labor or something?

By the way, pictures to come.

Inspirational October

Today I woke up (checked if my water broke in the middle of the night... it didn't)

So I made some carrot cake muffins.

For some reason nothing says October like carrot cake.

After making carrot cake muffins I thought... why stop there...

Franklin deserves breakfast!

So I made some healthy eggs with wheat toast oh and of coarse a carrot cake muffin

Then I frosted my muffins

Any surprise that they are halloween colors?

All this before conference.

I am so grateful for today and having good food & being able to spend time with my husband.
