happy hallllooowwweeennnn!























sadie's first trick or treat!
(no worries all candy went to omen #2)
she had fun and got lots of candy i think the best part was having all her adults around reading her stories and playing games
sadie LOVES glow sticks
i think for x-mas she would be happy with baskets and baskets of glow sticks
i got some extras to take care of those "elmo" moments
will write more later just wanted to share this video of sadie being a princess
thanks aunt mel and family for the card sadie loves it and preforms wonderfully in front of crowds
she has the blowing of the kiss down just right

one class down.....


okay it is all about me me me right now!!!
i just finished my final exam for one of my classes
and I AM SO SO HAPPY
this means i only have one class to deal with right now which makes us all happy
still my weekends will consist of homework but not nearly as much which means maybe more walks
this past weekend was good and bad
good because we got sadie two new goldfish and two snails
bad because it was rainy and cold
guess what?
yes it snowed well more like a sleet thing but still
YUCK!
but this weekend we are suppose to get back up into 60 so that makes me happy but still snow?
the trip to the pet store went well it was when we thought oh lets just pop over to toys-r-us...that realized bad idea
and why is this a bad idea?
well if you do not follow your elmo new toy updates this is why.....
elmo live


elmo was everywhere
and sadie was so so happy
she screamed with delight
"ELMO" but than when we tried to walk past elmo the tears started
big huge wet lonely tears started flowing
and the would not stop
no book with elmo would distract no markers or crayons nothing
but we were good and we stood by our initial decision
elmo live is for x-mas no sooner than that
so we ended up going home with a very sad sadie but an elmo free shopping cart.....
we did get paint and some more crayons...we all love art supplies....even i have a hard time saying no to art supplies
so whats up?
well omen #2 is still swimming around and he has found my bladder with much happiness
we are now starting to think okay small house two kids, two kid like adults? how are we going to pull this off.....
which it really is rather easy but any excuse to go to IKEA......
so we are planning a trip to IKEA to get ourselves even more organized
which of course means more bookshelves
we went to the local library book sale and bought three HUGE bags full of board books
these kids have a little library...i told the librarian i will teach them how to catalog and classify their books in a few years why not?
going to IKEA of course means doing a little work on the house
painting a few things, cleaning, throwing things out you know the usual which for us is always a very large task that involves dumpsters and mechanics
nothing else happin' just quiet trying to stay warm and finishing one class at a time
hope all is going well
please do not forget to vote...believe it or not the clock is ticking and i only have three more months
UGH!!!

week 24 and everyone is dancing

DONT FORGET TO VOTE!!!!! for your favorite baby boy name or in november but really the important vote is for the boy names......we have a list of about 20 different names so i will be taking some off and putting new ones on every so often so make sure to always check.......
ps. we do take suggestions so please leave them in the comments for now.....until i can figure something else out
thank you for shopping baby names are us

what does one do at 5:00 in the morning?

paint your toe nails, relax read a little homework maybe update a blog
for anyone (grandma & grandpa bristol) you may find this very odd and funny that your daughter who typically did not go to bed till 5:00 is now waking up in hopes of obtaining one minute of solitude before the day begins
i remember the days when they would run the vacuum cleaner in hopes of getting me out of bed at 1:00 in the afternoon
now at 1:00 in the afternoon i typically have taken one nap, done three loads of laundry, made breakfast and lunch, gone grocery shopping and cleaned various parts of the house while dancing to "The WHO" sadie's favorite band!
oh how times have changed.....
now that i am feeling older not really wiser but older let me tell you about the weekend:
mimi, bumpa, aaron deedle bug and i all went to boo at the zoo which was lots of fun
sadie loved watching the puppet show and danced whenever the music came on but it was a late night and her little tutu wilted around 8:30 as she grew tired of all the lights and costumes.....but of course the kid dressed up as elmos she screamed with happiness "ELMO"
she actually expected us to chase after the elmo......
it was a cold very very cold night so i don't have many pictures of the tutu running away from us at the zoo but we still have halloween to show off her costume
(we finally had to turn the heat on UGH!!!! )
we also went to the sparkle spot at the library which is the coolest rom ever and will be a saving grace on those cold days when we really need to get out of the house
yes we do love out local library......who is also havin' a big book sale this weekend which means all children's book 25 cents......can't beat that!
sunday we went for a really nice long walk at Penitentiary Glen Reservation which this time of year is wonderful
sadie must of walked almost a mile
running through the fields and squashing leaves!
the colors are really brilliant even though there is a nip in the air this is the best time to walk
we brought all our plants in and are decorating the house for halloween
only one more week.....so we have started to buy lots and lots of candy
we get between 300 to 400 kids on our street for halloween so we recruit our friends to help pass out candy
lets see no work ALL play this weekend and hopefully for the next couple of weekends......
oh actually it wasn't no work
aaron and bumpa cleaned out the garage which believe it or not is a LARGE project very very LARGE
and our curb for trash once again had the most
omen #2 has really popped
it is hard now for me to bend down
i still have ankles YIPPPEEE!!! but can no longer see my feet and the waddle is back
its hard to believe i am already 6 months.......
only a few more months and we will have another little hand to hold
enjoy the days
