8 Months

My babe is 8 months old!  He is SO BIG!

It's been a crazy week.  The weather website said we had hurricane force winds, tornados and snow.  Doesn't get much better than that.  We were without power for a few hours last night, but just as it got dark the truck appeared and it was all better!  It was fun to be without power.  I was "forced" to just play.  No laundry was going, my bedroom was too dark to put clothes away and there was no internet.  We did puzzles and I got the little piano all fixed up with new batteries.  We read a lot of Richard Scarry books.  I was pretty happy with our evening.  The Boppers was too until the end.  We had to bribe him with a sticker so I could cut his hair.  He hates hair cuts.  All is well now.

I'm happy to report 2 large items have been checked off of my never ending to do list.  Do you have one of those?  I do.  The thing that says- wash windows, do baby book, clean closets, print pictures.  I was finally able to cross off the Bazaar items from church that are finished.  I also buckled down and finished The Boppers picture book of being 2!  I used shutterfly this time and really enjoyed it.  It's in the mail and everything.  I crossed that off and consider myself all caught up with pictures until Chewy turns one.  

I had another one of those crazy times.  I'm sure somebody that heard my prayer would have thought I was nuts, but I prayed at the craft store last week for some inspiration for my MOPS craft and I got it.  I can't wait to show it to you.  I'm looking at it right now.  I know it's early fro Christmas, but I just wanted to do a Christmas craft.  We only meet once in December and it's our big party so we usually don't have time for crafts!  I hope everybody enjoys it as much as I did.

Now, it's off to get ready for tomorrow.  It's the big cross country meet.  State qualifying.  I'm so nervous.  We have a runner who can do it.  It's his senior year!  I just want to know if next week I will be in the cities watching state or at home (maybe crossing more things off my list).  That's all for now!
