Fall fun...


So, this week has been full of fall fun. Monday we went to a corn maze & pumpkin patch, Tuesday we did the same thing, different place along with a hayride...Em's first ever field trip with school, Wednesday we stayed home but played outside with moonsand, and today was school. I got a lot of errand type stuff done while he was there. I will post more photos soon, but for now I need to tend to a little one who has had a little too much "hay" fun. His allergies are acting up and he is very stuffy. Propped up on three pillows right now so he can breathe better and I have already given him some of his asthma meds just to make sure. He sounds great now, but I still plan to sleep with him. Pray for a peaceful night. Loves...

Jack-jackie

So, this guy has heartworm. HEARTworm. So scary. So many thoughts, so many feelings. Poor guy. Yes, we have had all our pets on preventative medicines, but somehow. Anyway, he goes in Monday for treatment. They keep him a week (actually planned a few extra days to be able to do some Halloweeny fun with Emery) and we pick him up the following Monday. We have to keep him calm for 5 weeks. Yep, 5 weeks. If he is not calm, bad things could happen. Wow. It's interesting how life can just stop in an instant. We are doing ok and he has not even been looking or acting sick so I am glad they caught it on a routine exam before it got worse. God has a way of making sure even in scary times things will be ok. So, we plan to shut down over here as much as possible (less coming and going) to keep him calm. You will probably see me a lot more on here and wow, my home should end up a lot cleaner too! HA HA! I see some good playing, relaxing, and organizing in order. Please keep Jack in your prayers. Loves for now...

Anyone know how to link a file?

So, I am trying to figure out how to get my portfolio on here since I am now officially done...but I cannot figure it out! Anyone out there know how to do this? It's a pdf. Thanks! And, loves to you...

So sad, ya know!?

I am little disapointed in my school that I have been in for the last two years (minus a little break). It seems that just because I don't want to work in the "traditional" sense of what my degree is in, that somehow to them I don't fit. Scrapbooking IS important. It DOES mean something, many things in fact and should be looked at as just as IMPORTANT as traditional design. At least that is my opinion. What's yours? Loves...

Bugs, play-school, Play-Doh, uniforms, and pumpkin head

Anyone have ANY idea what kind of bug this is? I have only seen it here and I have no idea! They are friendly, but what in the heck are they?!?! Em loves to "play" school at home now and drew me this on the board to "teach" me. Hee hee. He even made me sit on the floor in front of him. Wishing I had someone to take the photo for that one!

Daddy sent this cool uni like his for Em. He loves it!!


SO, we of course just HAD to get the pumpkin for Halloween! FUN FUN. You know, you can only get away with it when your 4, so why not?!

Playing with this and having too much fun. He kept saying, "I'm a cookin' boy!" I love his words!
Will share another fun one from today another day. Loves for now...

SO...

I got locked out of my own home today by my 4 year old! I only wish I had my camera to capture that giggle that made me so mad. Luckily after my neighbor came over and called the police to come help me, he unlocked the door. Crazy kid. ;)
