Save-the-date??????

So I've been thinking a lot about what to do for Wy's birthday. It's hard to believe that it's so close that I really need to start planning something.

Question: What do you think about sending a save-the-date card to those I'm going to invite to his party?? The reason I was thinking about this is because of his birthday being just 6 days before Christmas. Is it tacky to send a save-the-date for a kids birthday party?? It's not as thought I'm inviting the whole town or anything, but people are so busy during the holidays with paries and all that I want to be sure to give them enough notice.

All my fellow December 08 mommies, what are you doing??

Oh, here is a pic of Pop, Yaya and Wyatt. Walker wasn't home when they first stopped by--he'd gone to play with his cousin, Hayden for a few hours.

And here is a random pic of our mutts. They sit together like this all the time to look out the screen door--The 3 Stooges!! If they aren't like this, they are usually tormenting each other.

Throwback Thursday

This week last year, here is the pic I posted on my blog:

Wyatt turned 10 months on Monday, October 19th. It just doesn't feel like he should be this close to being 1 year old. He has now been in the world longer than in my belly.

6 years ago this week, I was preparing for surgery for a fractured leg and Walker was almost 6 months old.

On this day in history:

October 22nd

1746 Princeton University received its charter.

1836 Sam Houston was inaugurated as the first elected president to the Republic of Texas.

1936 was the first commercial flight from the mainland to Hawaii.

1938 the first Xerox copy was made.

1968 Apollo 7 returns to earth.

Haunted House (party) and Pumpkin Farm pics

Fair warning.....picture overload!

It was such a busy and fun weekend. Saturday we had a birthday party/haunted house to attend. We all dressed up. I was the fortune teller for the party. I must say, the 13 year old girls made it very easy and fun! Randy was in the haunted house in the "killer workshop". Walker was a vampire and Wyatt a dinosaur.

Halloween Party/Haunted House

Not the greatest pic in the world, I'll have better after Halloween.

Guthrie's Pumpkin Farm

We had such a fun day on Sunday going to Riceville. The weather was perfect for picking pumpkins.....a perfect cool fall day! We love going to a pumpkin farm before Halloween. We started going a few years ago when we lived in Columbia. It's so much fun. It was a great family day.

Have a great day!

Daycare Fall Fest

This morning was the Fall Fest at Wyatt's daycare. Because of the chance of rain, they moved it inside. There wasn't a whole lot going on for the babies this morning, but Walker was able to get his face painted. It was a great photo op, if nothing else. Here you go......

Throwback Thursday!

A year ago this week, this is the pic I posted in my pregnancy blog:



Here is a pic of Wyatt from last night being all silly and taking his first taste of brothers Go-Gurt. Oh, how time flies.

On This Day in History:
On October 8th, 1871 began the Great Chicago Fire. The first alarm sounded at 9:40am that Sunday morning. The fires lasted until early Tuesday morning, October 10th. An area of 4 miles long and about 3/4 mile wide was destroyed. There were approximately 200-300 casualties and almost 100,000 people were left homeless.

Fall

Hey, Yall!
It's been a beautiful fall day here in Northwest Georgia! We finally have some sunshine again. It's so nice to have weather that's perfect for opening the windows!
I'm looking forward to the leaves changing, carving pumpkins and Halloween. It will be Wyatt's first Halloween and we're so excited. We're looking forward to helping out with a haunted house and, as always, trick or treating! I love that Halloween is on a Saturday this year!

Joke of the day:

What do you get when you divide the circumference of your jack-o-lantern by its diameter?

Pumpkin Pi!


hehe!

Lake Winnie

Sunday was Scouts Day at Lake Winnie....so, all kids in uniform got in free of charge.

It rained off and on all day and I don't think the temp got much over 65 all day. Still, we had a good time. Here are a few pics......

Lucky Girl

I don't know why, but today I'm feeling all sentimental. Maybe it's because I'm actually feeling human again, after being sick for what seemed like forever.....maybe it's the cool weather making me think of the holidays and how close it is to Wyatt 1st birthday.....whatever it is, I can't help to think how lucky I am.

I have a great husband of 15 years. He damn well can drive me crazy at times, and can be as moody as a woman in menopause, but he's all mine and I wouldn't change him for anything....except to maybe shave his face more often! (that's my not so subtle way of saying SHAVE, MAN, SHAVE!)

I have the most handsome boys ever. My children, my beautiful boys -- who I thought, at one point in life, I'd never have and now couldn't imagine life without. They are both happy and for the most part healthy. They are thriving, growing and learning new things every day.

I'm even beginning to love doing homework with Walker. For forever it has seemed like such a frustrating chore, but [for] now it's become so much fun to watch him learn and grow....and most importantly, be excited about learning.

I think that life isn't perfect. Things aren't always what I'd like them to be. But overall, I'm a lucky girl.
