come sit awhile

this is what happens...

when i have too much going on and just need a little time to play

 

The IN HIM Necklace......$38

get one now!

 

home

jackson's throat is still pretty nasty...so it's one more day for good measure!  gosh at the work he's going to have to make up

surely i will think of a better post for later today?

stay tuned!

our tuesday/wednesday

it is wednesday, right?

yesterday we bailed on our friends and didn't make it to see where the wild things are...jackson just wasn't himself

low and behold something was brewing...first the "i don't feel good" then "i'm not hungry" (not even for cheese dip at la parilla)...then it was "i'm tired" 

the fever sets in 

i just knew he was going to barf...on the way home, in the car...here, you can have daddy's jacket...just in case

but he didn't

it was just fever...off and on throughout the day, nothing too high but he was certainly attached to the couch, and resting

not playing

in fact, there are no legos lying around. 

at all. 

so no school today

maybe i can get some things done?

umm, wait

more fever again this morning...no eating either...now it's "my throat hurts"...i get the flashlight and it "shows" me all i need to know

we're headed to the doctor (after hours place, because i love her)

evidently i'm not the only one or it's just maybe that everyone has a case of the cooties? 

getting out of the car we threaten explain to jackson NOT to touch anything

there were people in the waiting room with masks on.  nice.

we stood

for an hour, and near the front door

finally...the verdict was in...it was an ear infection and possible strep (we'll just treat it for strep) fine by me and he didn't have to gag

tomorrow we'll be home again, that fever is still hanging around...

keep your fingers cross this will be over soon!

thanks for listening

december

do you think 27 days is enough time for me to get this together?  i actually have most of the things i need from last year...

need to decide on the type of album, any suggestions?

halloween here and there

a quick recap for those of you who want to know

 

these went to school on friday and were yummy! 

 

here is the "school" version of j's costume...i loved his hair! 

 

and the class minus a few costume pieces by the time this photo was taken

what a day...

then on to north georgia to visit our good friends john and julie and some real trick or treating

 

the "real" thing! 

 

our gang...minus jackson t....not sure where he was, possibly putting his costume on under his clothes

a peter parker thing from what i understand

 

this pretty much sums it up...a blur! 

goes by fast, doesn't it?  except for the candy which is begged for at our house for entirely too long 

i think everything jackson wants to eat turns his mouth blue. 

nice.

maybe there should be a "day after halloween" holiday where all children consume every piece of candy, get a stomach ache and get it over with 

over the weekend we ALL consumed enough eats for an army and that goes for football and other "things" too! 

GO YELLOW JACKETS!  

the weekend was a quick one, that's how it goes when you visit with friends!  we'll have to do it again soon! 

happy monday Tuesday!  no school tomorrow...

 

 

 
 
 

the guts

this has never happened before

 

normally there is gagging

not that there wasn't this time around...

 

 

happy halloween week!

 
 

 

i love this time of year

the weather begins to cool off, especially in the mornings and then the warmth of the sunshine in the afternoon

i love that feeling

and with halloween brings corn maizes, hay rides and pumpkins!

 

trying to find our way...

 

and just so you know, we cheated

 

 

 

i believe this is our biggest pumpkin to date!

happy weekend

 

 

kind of like camping...but not

the CABIN is officially part of the family now!  

and evidently we couldn't wait

so we loaded up the car and the truck with all that would fit and headed north to the mountains...

food, clothing, air beds, tools, the four legged family members

 

and the dvd player.  thank you, Lord. 

jackson watched The Polar Express too many times to count 

 

this was our first dinner at the cabin...not counting the ham and cheese sandwiches we brought with us last time

and yes, those are lawn chairs

red ain't dead

and mom and i promise they are NOT staying.  

now dad on the other hand...

real furniture is on the way...nothing like sleeping on an air bed to get that going!
