FYI

Just wanted to make my official blog debut using my brand new iPhone 4s...

Time Change

Before daylight savings time was over, at 6:30 a.m. I would be curled up on the couch, drinking coffee, watching the news while Kittrell slept.

Now? Not so much.

The sun's up, so Kittrell's up.

There just went my mornings.

But it's no so bad- I've been in bed every night this week by 8:30.  Anyone else exhausted at 6:00?  Darkness- too soon.  I've been starting on dinner at about 5 every night, because I know I'm passing out soon after that.  I even missed Sons last night, and from what I hear, it was a good episode!  I hope I'm over this by the weekend.  I have a late night ahead of me Friday....



WANT

3 more days.....



Updates...

Isn't that a super cute face to start your day off with?  Kittrell has started eating vegetables this past week.  I've had a lot of vegetables in my hair, all over my clothes, etc.  As you can see above, Kittrell thought I was insane when I fed him his first peas.  He enjoyed spitting them out all over his bib- and all over me.  The next day, he had carrots, and as you can see, he actually ate most of those.  I did not have carrots in my hair.  He had green beans yesterday and shook all over with terror when I fed him those.  He did not like the green beans.  Today he gets to try squash.  Fingers crossed I won't need another shower after his lunch.  Hopefully we'll find something he loves soon!!! 

Saturday.  What do we usually do on Saturdays?  Football and cookouts at the Cooper's.  Ashlyn made her LSU sign to wave around during the game.  It must have worked!!

Funny story.  The kids were all inside playing and the adults were hanging out outside.  I went inside to check on things and Ashlyn informed me that they were discussing the fact that Selena Gomez is pregnant.  Oh dear.  "She's not pregnant, Ashlyn."  "But I heard on Kidd Kraddock (spelling??) the other morning that Justin Beiber is going to be a dad."  (Daniel and Ashlyn listen to that radio show every morning.)  Daniel said he heard that and immediately turned the radio down, so she wouldn't hear the rest of the story.  Well that obviously didn't work out to our advantage.  "Ashlyn, all you need to know is that no one is pregnant, Justin and Selena are still dating, every one is fine, and there are some crazy crazy people in the world who will say anything to get attention."  I'm sure I only confused her even more....  I really hope she's not at school right now discussing pregnancy and fatherhood with her classmates.  

Looks like we will be shopping for chickens soon!  Daniel is off work Thursday and Friday this week, so I'm sure The Tin Roost will be just about done after then.  

And last but not least, the thing that's keeping me going this week.   (Not my only motivation for the week but I can't lie- it's a pretty big one.)  I can't tell you how long it's been since I've been home- having a girl's night.  I. CAN'T. WAIT.  (Another big motivator for the week-  C Spire getting the Iphone 4s Friday, and yours truly getting one!!  Well, getting one eventually- I'm sure that a million other people have pre ordered theirs, too.  So we'll see how long it takes for mine to be delivered.)



Halloween Fun

Our skeleton bride.

(I told Ash that skeletons don't usually smile..)

Our day outfit...



His shocked face when I took his paci out of his mouth...



He loved his Sweet Pea costume!

Seriously- that is entirely too much candy.

Halloween was so much fun at our house!  Ashlyn was super excited all day.  After school, she ran in, did her chores faster than I've ever seen, and the face painting began!  I got the kids ready, Daniel came home, then we all headed to Decatur to the 'Treat Street Bash' to meet up with the Cooper's and do some trick-or-treating.  And now I'm home all day every day with a huge pile of candy staring me in the face every time I walk into the living room.  I hope this doesn't affect the scale on Friday morning...

On another note, yesterday was spent in Meridian.  Actually I had to go twice.  Maybe I should just get an apartment there.  It's not a long drive at all, I guess I just like to complain about it.  Kittrell had his 4 month check up (and shots).  So my day went like this-  doctor, shots, screaming baby, drive across town to Sonic to eat and feed Kittrell a bottle, screaming baby (bless his heart), trip to Wal- Mart for a humidifier ( he's got a runny nose), nap for Kittrell (finally), drive home, screaming baby, clean house, screaming baby with 101 degree fever, forgot to get anything out for dinner so it's either a hot pocket or easy mac, still sick baby, drive BACK to Meridian for ballet practice, sit in car and read for an hour, drive back to Little Rock, so so sleepy, home to feed one more bottle to Kittrell, finally he's asleep!, Sons of Anarchy with the husband, finally pass out in the bed (slept in Kittrell's room with him), ninja cat kept barging in, finally caught said cat with help of the husband and threw her outside, back to the bed to pass out again. 

I'm starting to think a job wouldn't be such a bad idea....

Happy Birthday to Kiki and Meme!!!!!!! 

Thursday!!

Would I be a bad person if I went back to bed already?  Kittrell was doing so good sleeping for a while but here lately he likes to wake up around 3 a.m. and talk.  So technically, I've been up for a while...

The Nutcracker tickets are finally on sale!! I called and got mine first thing this morning.  But it wasn't so easy seeing as how the Temple Theater doesn't accept credit/ debit cards.  What's up with that??  They have performances there all the time, so I don't get it.  Several months ago, Fantasia was there.  I did not attend that performance.   

It's 10:30 a.m and I already have stinky spit up/ throw up on both sleeves of my shirt and I'm too lazy to walk back to the bedroom and change.  But it's ok- I don't think anyone is planning on stopping by my house today. 

Kittrell hasn't even been rolling over for 24 hours yet, and it's already starting to work on my nerves.  Is that bad to say??  He does so good, rolling back and forth.  But sometimes he gets stuck on his belly and screams louder than you can imagine until I turn him back over.  Let's hope he figures it out soon before I run out of Tylenol!!

Here's some stuff from Pinterest I pinned earlier today....



(I love you, Daniel!!!)

Happy Thursday!!

He Rolled Over!!

Seriously, like 5 minutes ago.  He just looked so cute laying on the floor so I took his picture.  Then he rolled over.  So I got a before and after.  How lucky is that??  Yay!!
