Adam's Favorite Shirt


This boy is obsessed with french fries! He thinks every time we're in the car, that we're going to get french fries. He got upset once when I drove through Subway to get sandwiches and he didn't get any fries. The minute the waitress comes to our table at a restaurant (any restaurant) he immediately tells her he wants french fries. And every time she comes back to the table, he reminds her he is still waiting for his fries with a forceful "fuh-fries!" I promise we don't get fast food or even eat out all that often but I am really feeling like a horrible mother for having a child, not even 2 yet, addicted to french fries!
His other obsession is ketchup. Actually, I should say it is anything he can "dip dip" his food in. Kethcup, dressing, sauce, and especially salsa. So when I found this shirt, I just had to buy it, which is good because it was on sale for like $5!

100% GIRL!!

I had my Targeted/Level 2 (whatever you want to call it) ultrasound yesterday and we found out that this baby is most definitely a girl! I am thrilled. It took me about a day to get used to the idea when we first suspected it was a girl 2 weeks ago, but now I can't imagine her not being a girl! We even have a name that Nat is 100% sure about but I am still only 90% sure about. I just have commitment issues even though I sometimes call her by that name. I just need a bit more time before I'm ready to announce her name to the world. So stayed tuned! :)

Here is a 3D picture of our baby girl. I love how you can see her nose and lips and how her little arm is curled up by her face. The eyes make her look a little freaky, but if you ignore that, it's a sweet picture! It's amazing how just by looking at these pictures of her, I already love her so much! I cannot wait to meet her!

Gettin' Crafty

A couple weeks ago I was hit by the urge to craft. I came across this jack-o-lantern project on a blog and thought they were so cute. I already had all the jars and Mod-Podge so all it took was some .95 tissue paper, a can of green spray paint, and black cardstock. I think they turned out cute! Especially when they are lit up and glowing. I think I'm going to have my Activity Days girls do this for a project in a couple weeks, although Mod-Podge, tissue paper, and 8-11 year old girls is kind of frightening!

While I was shopping for the supplies I came across a grapevine wreath on sale so I decided to make a wreath for the front door. I then had to buy my very own hot glue gun, which was very exciting, and got to work gluing leaves, pinecones, berries, and pumpkins onto the wreath base. It wasn't until I hung it up that I noticed how well the red leaves matched my front door! I should take credit for the lovely coordination, but I can't.
