Halloween!!





Halloween is not my favorite holiday, but having kids gives a new meaning to it and makes it ALOT more fun! Last year it was just about carving pumpkins with the family and taking pictures of our little lobster but this year it was about trick or treating and getting together with friends!! I love our family tradition of pumpkin carving at the lake which also includes hearing ghost stories told by kids under the age of 6 and eating good food! So I always look forward to that:)! This year we started a new tradition, well a couple of them.

1. trick or treating with Wyatt's little buddies (and mine!!) so much fun! A cow, a sock monkey and a skeleton are very cute walking up to houses to get their mommies lots of candy! It is also always fun to have some good old adult conversation with some great couples!

2. NO more costumes with big bulky head pieces! Wyatt had this cute little lion costume, we got two pictures and then he didn't want to put it on again! He hated it! So at the last minute I bought a cute little skeleton pj set, he looked really cute and he was comfortable!

3. Chili and a fried turkey at the Cantey house! It is always fun to get together with life long friends! I have known Aniela my entire life (not kidding) and I love the fact that we used to go trick or treating and now we are getting together with our kids! After an hour of trick or treating it was fun to relax and enjoy some yummy food!

It was so much fun this year and I can't wait until next year!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
