Hey friends. Watch out, a mid week post...can I get a high five?! Things have been going good around here. Zach is still working evenings, which stinks, but we're managing. He should get put back on days in a couple of weeks...probably not permanently, but I'll take what I can get. We still only have one deer, so of course, he's still obsessed with getting that big guy that he saw. I can't wait until January...at least I think that's when hunting ends. Jay is being as goofy as ever these days. He is a sponge! He is so teachable right now, and it's so much fun! He loved cheering for the Cardinals, he learned how to give great hugs, he now does knuckles, he is sure to tell you to "shhhh" when he sees Doug or a baby sleeping, and he tries to repeat every single word you say! My favorite is when I say "love you" and he gives me a "wuv wu"...precious! And as for me, I'm just rolling through the days like normal and doing what I have to do. :)
As for Halloween, we had a great night. As you know, I had ordered Jay's costume on ebay, and as of Halloween morning, it wasn't in my hands yet! Yikes! I kept asking Zach that morning to check the mail, and the mail was later than usual so I was getting so anxious! At about noon, I got a picture text from Zach of my little sea otter!! Woo hoo! Zach told me that it was a little big, and I thought geez, I ordered 12-18 months so I thought it was gonna be perfect. When I got off work, I ran home to grab the costume and some other things to take out to my parents house. I looked at the tag of the costume real quick, and it was an 18-24 month size! Grrr! I went back and made sure of what I ordered, and I sent the seller a quick note. She's handling it very well by giving me a partial refund. So, needless to say, Jay was having a little trouble walking in his costume. His feet kept slipping out of the little feetie part, and I had to roll up the arms a little bit. It turned out okay though. My mom came along with us since daddy had to work. First stop was great Grandma and Grandpa's. Then, we had a quick stop at Lara's and saw her cute little duo, visited some church family, and a few of Jay's great aunts. He was a trooper. He was fascinated with the fact that he had a tail. He literally chased it like a dog would. Too cute. He's enjoyed several pieces of his candy. I'm pretty sure Zach put a dent in it when he got home last night...haha. Next year is going to be even better! I love love love doing all of these things with my little man. Having a kid gives you moments that allow you to be a kid again...so fun!
I hope you are all having a great week. I get to spend tomorrow morning at Bass Pro. Be jealous. I actually don't mind going there...it's kind of a neat store. However, I'm not excited about what we're buying or the amount of money we're going to spend. But, when it comes to deer hunting...well, there's just not much compromising. I'm sure some of you understand. Well, I'm not gonna lie, I probably won't see you again until confession friday... :)
P.S. I mentioned in my post Saturday that I was thinking a blogger biggest loser would be fun. You might not have seen my post since it was on a weekend, or you could all be ignoring me...lol. So, I will ask one more time. It really doesn't have to be just for bloggers...just thought that would be a good way to get started. Feedback?
