Blonde Moment

Today was one of those days - one of those days where you think to yourself - DID I REALLY DO THAT?? And today I answered myself with -- YES YOU DID! I will chalk it up to a blonde moment - maybe from all the hair dye from my 20s! :)
It all began with unwrapping a Bath & Body Works Wallflower - I got it free yesterday and was excited to plug it in in the half bath. Loaded it, made sure it was tight, then went and plugged it in in the bathroom. A little while later I went to wash my hands and noticed a puddle on the floor, then I looked at the baseboard and it looked like the paint was peeling off. Sure enough - it was - and the puddle was from the wallflower. WHY?? Well turns out that in all my excitement I plugged the damn thing in upside-down! Note to self, make sure you pay attention when plugging in things with scented oil!

Pregnancy Brain?

As Mikey naps today and I scamble to somewhat organize my disheveled house, I wonder - Do I have Pregnancy Brain? Is that why I feel like nothing gets accomplished these days and that things are always in disarray? Is that why I seem to forget that I put things in the washer hours ago and have never put them in the dryer? Is it why I straighten clothes fresh from the dryer and carry them in the bedroom only to forget they are there until it's time to crawl in bed? Or is it that I have always been this way and am just now realizing it?

I admit that I have always, always, always been a procrastinator. I've always dreamt of being like my friend Stephany, who is neat, organized, prompt and always put together - but somehow that role doesn't fit on me. It try, really I do - I long for organization, and believe me, I try my hardest to get things organized - it's just that they don't stay that way for long. It seems like I always get these GREAT ideas and start to put them into action only to get sidetracked or to have another GREAT idea pop in my head which pulls me away from what I'm doing. For example, as I sit here typing I can look to my left and see a huge pile of magazines that need to either be read or recycled, yet I haven't done it yet - WHY? Because it's not at top priority of mine.

Ahhhhh - if only there were a way that I could reprogram myself - or get rid of the pregnancy brain - cause as of today, that's what i'm blaiming the messy house on! :)

Such Progress

We've come along way buddy! Just 2 short months ago you clung to me and cried when I left you at school and now you walk right in like the little champ you are. Today you even told me you wanted to stay and not come home with me. I can't lie, it broke my heart a little, but in the same breathe it made me so proud of you. You're spreading your wings and flying!
I have my fingers crossed that next month's transistion into a new class is an easy one for you. Your buddy Greyson has already moved up, so hopefully you will enjoy the chance to be with him again. And while I will miss my morning chats with Ms. Chris, I'm sure I will have plenty to chat about with Ms. Melanie.

I love you Doodle Bug!

More, More, More

That's all I've been hearing since Saturday - why? Mikey has loved the movie Madagascar ever since my sister gave it to him and for the last month every time he saw the previews of Madagascar 2 he would stop and his tracks and stare, then cheer. So, like any loving parents would, Michael & I decided to take him to the show on Saturday to see it. HE LOVED IT -- sat thru the whole thing in awe and when the credits rolled what did my child say? MORE!!!! We explained there was no more and left the theater fast. On the way home we got him a Happy Meal for being so good and along with it came a Madagascar toy. The toy has been attached to his hand since saturday afternoon and the first Madagascar movie has been in the DVD player since too. AND EVERYDAY we have watched the first Madagascar numerous time. As soon as the credits roll I hear, MORE, MORE, MORE -- I'm so sick of that damn movie -- I'm now singing "I like to Move it, Move it" in my sleep!! I'm starting to think about hiding the toy so he forgets about the movie for a while. :)

Trick R Treating

Little Frankie was a HIT!!! Our little monster looked so cute I wanted to keep him in his costume all night! lol
And yes, it is still light out - we went trick r treating early so it didn't interfere with his nighttime routine, which worked well!

Halloween Morning

When Mikey woke up on halloween morning I had a special little treat waiting for him on the table. A goodie bucket - nothing much - just something to let him know that today was gonna be an especially fun day!

A Candid Moment

While everyone else was getting ready for church - Michael caught a cute picture of Mikey & Paw playing with his fishing poles.

The Pumpkin Patch

On Oct. 25th we picked up Granny & Paw from the airport and then headed out to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. Mikey was so excited once we got there - he wanted to pick up all the pumpkins!



Here Paw, this looks like a good one!

Maybe this one is better, Granny

Our Little Turkey :)

Catching Up

Please bare with me as I am still playing catch up. My blog world has fallen behind because we have been so busy and I promise it will become current soon!

We Can Only Hope

Well what can I say - the election didn't quite end the way the Davis household and the rest of our family had hoped. Mr. Obama has been elected and now we can only hope that he turns out to be a better man than the picture all the emails have painted of him. We can only pray that he does have EVERYONE's best interest at heart and not those select few. We are also praying that his Muslim background stays in his background and doesn't present itself in the way he chooses to run our country.

The Laundry Basket

Hey Mom -- I think I'd like to watch my movie like this today!!!!

Artwork for Mommy

I have to admit, I love picking up Mikey from school and seeing his artwork hanging on the wall at school - and when I find it in his cubby it makes me even more happy - cause now I know I get to hang it on the fridge and see it everyday. Imagine how I felt the day I got 2 masterpieces in his cubby!!!! That's one happy mommy!!! lol

Our new fridge artwork:

Mommy - You made this?

Our 3rd cake decorating class we learned to make clown bodies out of icing (which I'll probably never do again). They came out really cute and Mikey was thrilled that he got one all to himself. Granted he ONLY ate the icing, but that's ok - he left the cake for me, which is my favorite part anyway! Here are shots of him when he got home from school eating his clown cupcake!

Catch Up Time

Sorry I've been gone so long - I have so much to catch up on so bare with me -- I may be posting ALOT of pictures today just to get back up to the present.
In short we have a busy last few days: Granny & Paw came for a visit, we went to the pumpkin patch, our little artist came home with more beautiful pictures from school and of course Halloween trick or treating!!!!! Fun, Fun, FUN! Oh and our little man is still doing EXCELLENT in his new room! He's still choosing to sleep in the converted crib, but that's ok - he's doing so great I can't complain. :)
Well, sit back and enjoy - and I'll get started......
