Well another week is gone I spent the entire week coughing my head off.  Literally.  I started last Sunday with an annoying cough every few minutes that progressed into a cough every breath.  I finally got some relief over the weekend but instead of coughing every breath, I coughed every 30 minutes.  But because I've coughed so much over the past week, it feels like I'm getting hit with a spiked baseball bat with every cough.  It's been amazing.

 

Anyway, the coughing didn't stop us from doing some fun things.

 

Last Sunday, my mom and I took C to see The Rockettes.

 

 

The show was amazing and C had the best time!  She didn't move the whole show and cried at the end (that's her way of telling us she enjoyed it).  She has asked every day to go back so this might become a little tradition.

At the grocery store the other day, C spotted the Funfetti cake mix and just had to have it along with the hot pink icing and sprinkles that were pictured on the box. 

 

This weekend she made us a batch of cupcakes. 

 

 

She was very proud of her work of offers us one after every meal.

We were in dire need of a new Christmas tree and we've always talked about getting a white one.  Well yesterday we made brought one home. 

 

 

We LOVE it!

 

  At first we were just putting it together to make sure the lights worked but once C saw it, she begged to decorate it.  This goes against every bone in my body to have a Christmas tree up before Thanksgiving but I was feeling her energy so I decorated it.  She has told me a hand full of times that it is so pretty and that she just loves our tree.  Precious.

 

I still have some work to do on it but it is mostly done which kind of makes me happy.  Now, we just have to drag all the other Christmas junk decorations out and finish decorating the house.

And speaking of Christmas, I'm over the top excited that I can say I'm 99% done with Christmas shopping!  I did major damage over the weekend and I only have 1 more gift to buy.  I'm not sure how I managed to be this on top of things but I am and it's great!  Now I just have the fun part of wrapping all of it up. 

Playing Catch Up

 

 What's been going on in our little world?

 

Last weekend we had a play date with some friends and went to lunch.

 

 Monday, C got to spend the day with Momoi.  They enjoyed their morning "coffee" together.

 

 

They ran errands, went to see Nanny and went to lunch.  They might have gotten ice cream too.

 

 

And this is how I was greeted when I picked her up Monday afternoon after not seeing her since lunch on Sunday.

 

Can you tell she was SUPER excited to see me?

 

 

I got Brent and I tickets to last night's Titans vs Colts game.

 

We had really good seats and had a blast!

 

It was a close game but "Luck" was on our side and the Colts WON!

This weekend we plan to chill a bit and on Sunday my mom and I are taking C to see The Rockettes!  All parties are over the top excited!

Worth It

As I mentioned in my last post, I tortured my family this past weekend with family pictures.  My dad has mad camera skills and I'm extremely thankful photography is his hobby.  Here are just a few of the final products.

 

 

 

Can not handle this one!  I feel like I'm looking at a 12 year old.

 

 

 

All parties involved were champs and I loved how they turned out!  Totally worth the stress it takes to get my crew together for pictures.  C somehow inherited her daddy's hatred of the camera.  Lucky me.

 

Now the decision on which one to pick for the Christmas card.

Halloween Week

Last week was a really fun week for us!

 

Tuesday, C's school put on a little pumpkin patch for the kids.  They had a hayride, apple cider, face painting and of course, they got to pick a pumpkin from the "pumpkin patch".

 

 

Thursday, was the class parties and school trick or treating.

 

C came home with a sack full of candy and was not the least bit disappointed that we didn't take her trick or treating that night.  We were not about to fight the crazy weather.

 

Friday night we went to my parent's to trick or treat since theirs was moved due to weather.

 

This year I decided to join in the fun and dressed up.

 

Mary Poppins and the fairy.  C thought I was hilarious and doesn't have a clue who Mary Poppins is.  Add that movie to our list of must watch.

 

C had a good time trick or treating but her favorite part of the night was giving out candy.  She sat patiently on the steps waiting for trick or treaters...  

 

and loaded them up when they finally came to the door.

 

Every time the doorbell rang or there was a knock at the door, home girl took off running.  She loved it!

 

Saturday, was a day of errands and playing no les than 100 games of Candy Land.

Reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas out loud page by page in the middle of SAM's.

 

Sunday, I tortured my family by having pictures made.

 

Her and her daddy were SUPER thrilled.  My dad was able to get a bunch of good ones and I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

And last night we witnessed this...

 

she emptied her toy bin out, got in and scooted into the living room singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat.  Dull moments at our house?  Never.
