Random Weekly Update

Well, I haven't updated my blog with current happenings in a while, so I guess I should do that today...

Last week, I got the CUTEST trick-or-treat bags from Kelci (Crafty Mama). She makes the most adorable stuff!!! Several months ago, she sent me a diaper bag/tote that I absolutely LOVE, so I knew these bags for the boys would be "to die for"! She makes the cutest purses, too. One day, I'm going to buy one from her - I just can't make up my mind which one I like best! She buys the most delicious fabrics! Check out her Etsy store...the link is over there on the left hand side.

We spent last weekend with "Nana & Pop" since Chris and a few of his friends took off to College Station for the football game. (I always jump at the opportunity to have two extra set of hands to help out with the boys!) Cole has been practicing eating with real silverware, so I told him I would brag and show pictures to all 10 people that read my blog.

One of my highlights of the week was a "surprise" gift. The doorbell rang (rare occurrence) and I could see green foliage as I peeked out our window. Great. More flowers for Miss Early-20-Perma-Tan-Hooters-Girl-Neighbor-Chick (some of you may remember the roses delivered to MY house for Valentines Day for HER). BUT NO!!! IT WAS FOR ME!!! I got this gorgeous plant from Chris' store as a Thank You gift. See, I made some (more) diaper cakes for their "Baby Days" event last week. Of course, they were the cutest cakes I've made to date and I forgot to take a picture of them. You'll just have to believe me. But, here's my pretty plant. You'll probably be reading its obituary soon - I really don't have a green thumb.

The rest of the week was spent convincing Cole to NOT take his clothes/diaper off, going through storage boxes for the garage sale I desperately need to have soon, listening to Caleb's ENDLESS chatter and watching the weather reports as Tropical Storm/Hurricane Humberto approached Galveston. Supposedly, we were to get LOTS of rain from this slow moving storm starting Thursday morning. Here's what we really got:

Thank God! I wasn't really looking forward to all of that rain (and the influx of mosquitoes that would inevitably follow). I've got "Girls Day" with my girlfriends on Sunday - soooo ready for that. So, you've officially been updated on my exciting life. Oh, I'm thinking about adding a "bonus edition" to my 30 in 30 series this weekend...stay tuned.
