Happy Halloween!

First, I must give props to my Mama, because she ended up being the one who sewed my entire costume.  I pretty much did nothing other than cut out all the pieces!  Isn't my Mama awesome?
 Today at school.  Everyone, especially the kids loved my costume.  I spent the entire day speaking what I considered to be a very good Snow White voice.  I got so many hugs from little ones!  I also carried an apple around and pretended like I was about to take a bite to see kids' reactions and many of them shouted, "No! Don't eat it! It's poisoned!"  I thought that was pretty hilarious!
 Apparently I'm just asking for a deep sleep!
 When I got home, I subjected Nellie to her Halloween costume from last year and we had a photo shoot.  We were quite bored since Daddy was working and since there were no trick-or-treaters.  (They postponed trick-or-treating until tomorrow due to severe storms!  I HATE storms!) 
               I realize she look terrified here, but I promise she was fine.  She shed the hat about 15 seconds later and then I ended her torture of the sweater about 5 minutes later.  I just can't resist the urge to dress her up since she's so cute. 
 I stole this picture from my friend, Stephanie!  We all got together after school to snap a picture.  As you can see, we had a pretty diverse group of costumes!!  I love that where I work we are all willing to have fun and dress up.  The kids also got to dress up as their favorite book characters, so it was just such a fun day!!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Valentine's Weekend

Zach and I seemed to stretch out Valentine's day for the whole weekend! On Friday night we had pizza ordered in (pineapple and mushroom, my FAVORITE, Thanks honey!) Then on Saturday, Zach took me to downtown Henderson to Memories, a little antique shop, and bought me a McGuffey reader to add to my collection! After that, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Evansville and Zach bought me a back massage machine that goes in the chair! It does shiatsu massage and feel wonderful! He jokes that now he won't ever have to give me massages anymore, but that's not true! Then we went back to his house, and he opened his present from me, a balance thing that measures reloading stuff for guns! As you can guess, I don't exactly know what it is, I just said, "Pick something out unless you want some new polos." Motivates him every time! Today after church and lunch at Mama Joyce's we rushed to the west side of Evansville and went to the movies! We saw "When ...

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
