Coming Along Nicely

It's only been one week and Birthday Month is off to a great start. Monday night brought a much needed Fitzselson Night. Mark surprised us and came home early from work on Tuesday, can you say awesome? Wednesday I started a Book club and had pie with this girl, who happens to be 12 days OLDER than I, which warrants a "Happy Birthday Month Becks!"



Mark stepped out a bit early again from work today and met us at Pumpkin City AKA: "Temptationville". It was reeeeeeeeally close to being fun, until we (quickly) figured out the wonderful little city is really a front for a money sucking, child torturing "fair" that smells like farm animal poop.

Don't you fret, little kids, you can ride these ponies all day long if you want.


What? Not as fun as a bounce house?


Super Mark swooped up our pumpkin-crazed kids and took them to Trader Joe's where any sane person will buy their pumpkins, HUGE ones, 3 for the price of 1 tiny one from Rip-you-off-Land. It's like I always say; sometimes I have really good ideas, and sometimes I don't. Anyway... off to week number two!!

But you got some realllllly ---- memorable pictures of adorable children and pumpkins and on straw horses, things like that, so it was totally worth it since you bought your pumpkins at TJ's because that is where sane people buy them, for sure.

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
