Feeding the geese

Joe and the children had a great time at the park and fed the geese a loaf of bread. Orren did not think that was such a good idea. Every time Joe pinched a piece of bread off to throw to the geese, Orren opened his mouth trying to eat it. When it was thrown he got so upset. So that little adventure had to be cut short.

We did something we NEVER do tonight and that was eat on trays in the living room. Orren was confused at first, but then he thought it was the greatest thing ever. I hope that we don't have issues making him sit at the table tomorrow. But, it is Friday Family Fun Night and Daddy is in charge so, c'est la vie.

Joe pointed something out that I had not thought of about Orren. He has been carrying a piglet "knife" for 2 days. Joe is crazy for knives. As Joe says, he is my son.

Birthday's, dinner plans, and surprises

So everyone knows that tomorrow is my birthday (29 lol). So as birthday week rules are in place, Joe took the children to the park and I have some alone time. Tomorrow is a big busy day. Joe and the children, I am sure will fix breakfast in bed as they have for 10 years and then they are going to the Home Depot workshop while I get more Mommy time. After that we have a football game to watch at 2:30 with The Hayes crew. Then P F Changs (my fave) with Salah and Michelle ( I have been looking forward to that for over a month more than anything b/c they never eat there with us and now they HAVE to)! Sunday we will have family day @ the El-Falah House with Birthday cake Michelle is baking. ( you read that right, she is baking. It isn't that she can't, she just doesn't) What a weekend! God has truly blessed me with precious family and friends.

I am a little suspicious of my parents. They have been in Jackson, MS. Just a couple of hours away. They acted kind of giggly when we spoke just a bit ago. It would not be beyond them to show up here tonight or tomorrow. Maybe my hopes are showing, I miss them so.

Since by Birthday week rules there is no cleaning or cooking by the birthday party, Joe is bringing home dinner and a movie when they get home from the park. So I am going to watch a Lifetime Movie until they return. Toodles!

His name is Blaze and we got our first real look at him today. Courtesy of modern technology.

I will post more later today. I just had to get this up!

You're not that old Mommy, I mean you still have a couple of years until you're a 100

Thanks Olivia! Those were the words of the Princess over her mashed potatoes, gravy and steak tonight. She said, I know because I was Reading the book you had when you were little and the pages have that smell of old books but not too old. Tell that to my body, I cannot find my glasses that I am needing more and more to see because my senile mind has forgotten where I put them. And today my knee started to act up!
So just to clarify one more time..... I am turning 29.


Orren had his first accident today. Thought we might have to go to the ER for stitches, but luckily we avoided it. We have a nice shiner! He was standing up in the wagon and BOOM, the whole thing fell over and on top of him. He was so precious totting back to me with his arms stretched up toward me. He stopped crying as soon as I picked him up. It broke my heart, but he was tough!

I had an eventful day in the land of Nod. Things are settling down now. We have watched Survivor and gotten everyone tucked in. So goodnight all!

We got Booed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is October 1st and that means Booing has begun. Man we got hit at around 3:00 this afternoon. It was a great package, it had a candle that was precious and candy and ribbon and water toy. It was in a precious bag that said you've been booed with of course the we've been booed sign for our door. We had been planning to boo our neighbors and could not believe we had been gotten first! ( I think we know who did it snicker snicker) We did a really cute big candy bowl full of marshmallows in Halloween shapes, and a cute little "boo" sign for our across the street neighbors (I am pretty sure they knew it was us so it is safe to say on here)

We painted one of my old candelabras black then spray painted it with glitter, put in some orange candles, a spider ring, and voila! Instant spooky elegance. We have been doing stuff like that all day and the kids have loved it. I will post pictures on Halloween, we LOVE fall.

It is so cool and crisp that makes us so active. No air condition just open fresh air!
