Halloweeeeeeen!

Well, it is official Zander HATES Halloween! We had a heck of a time tonight getting him to put on his adorable scarecrow costume that I made for him! This is the only shot I could get of most of the costume. I had little black birds that were on his had and overalls that he kept pulling off, and I had straw that was supposed to come out of his sleeves....Mitch had to put the hat on him as soon as I snapped this picture, it took us about 15 shots!
And off we go with the hat! He hated that thing but it was so cute!
I am not kidding in this photo he is seriously telling me off!
Hiding as far away as possible and crying about his costume!
Crying again because I put the hat on him!

Not only was the costume a total nightmare, he was so naughty at each house we went to. See, I think he is too little to trick or treat, so I make cookies and we take them to our friends. He had a meltdown at the first two houses we went to, so we bagged it. Well, as always, there is a reason to the horrible attitude, we felt really bad when he started having diarrhea all over the place including on my shirt, on the floor, on his costume, in our kitchen on the floor, it was aweful! I HATE HALLOWEEN!

Well, It finally happened.

Today was one of the most terrifying days of my life. I was in the bathroom when Mitch left for work. I didn't think anything of it because Zander is able to be left alone for a short time without causing too much trouble. About a minute later I came out of the bathroom, and couldn't find him. I heard him yell at me with excitement from upstairs and when I looked up, to my horror, he was standing on top of the chair we have up in the loft on the second floor getting ready to jump from the railing. I know the scream I let out must have frightened him because he fell BACKWARDS thank Heavens. I cried of course as I raced up the stairs to get him. Man, he had some serious guardian angels watching over him. I still can not figure out how he got up there so fast. He has never even attempted it before. I have been kind of a mess today feeling like my entire life was only one second away from being taken from me. We have spent most of the day cuddling. He is not normally realy lovey, but today he has just stayed right by my side. I couldn't even bring myself to leave him in his crib, I just rocked him while he slept. It was one of those moments that you pray never comes, and at the same time you know eventually it will come again...especially with sons, am I right!?!?! So the meaning of this story is to say, A: I love all of you, and I hope you know that. B: The Lord is so aware of us and always watching out for us, and C: Life can change in the blink of an eye, so live for now, and for lack of a better phrase, love the ones you're with! April

What I have been up to lately!

So here a a FEW of the projects I have been working on for the Holiday craft fair I am selling at. I am a bit tired of the sewing room, but I am getting a lot done! I will post more pics later!

Breakfast with some buddies!

So I got called into the young womens at church, and here are a few of the women I serve with. We went to breakfast together for Lorna's birthday(white jacket!) I felt a bit out of place since they have all been friends for a way long time, but we still had fun! Wahooo for Merrits Cafe!!!

A Long Awaited Reconection!

So after much contemplation, I finally got a Facebook account. I mostly did it so that I could keep in touch with all of my cousins who are on it. Well, to my suprise, many of my High School buddies are on it. Within a few days I had connected with Sarah and Christina, two of my very best friends back in the day. We went out to dinner and had such a good time. By this point in the evening, I could barely talk without it hurting we had been laughing so hard! Man, 7 years flew by so fast!
