And... still waiting...

Well, it seems that my intuition was WAY off on this one, and I did not have the baby early... in fact, I am one day OVERdue today, and am slowly going nuts as I try to keep myself busy so that I don't think about it too much. The good news........ my induction day has been set for Monday, if nothing happens before then, so baby, we're almost there!!! Can't wait to meet you!!

This picture was taken today - and looks like maybe I should have worn a shirt that wasn't the same colour as our walls, but oh well.

Here are some things I've been doing to keep busy... well, pinterest is helping me out a bit, so I got into decorating some pumpkins... Any suggestions on the bow thing? I can't say that I have a natural bow talent, and I'm not terribly happy with this one. Project: use puff paint to dot fake "rhinestones" on the pumpkin. Super easy.

Pumpkin #2 - paint with chalkboard paint... only problem, I thought I had chalk I bought for teaching last year, and I don't have any... or at least I can't find it now. Brody and I will have fun with this one, and I am hoping to write ____ days until Halloween, and update it every day. Super easy, and cheap to make.

Of course, my new birthday present is helping me stay happy and "busy" - I have been sadly mourning the loss of the Mac I had from the school district last year while I taught. You have to return them at the end of the school year. Instead, I was sharing one with Kevin, which he uses for work, and which is four years old - not awful, but not a Mac. I LOVE the feeling of a new computer, and this one has not disappointed me :). (The smudges must be from my camera lens being dirty, because the laptop is still shiny and new...)

I've also been trying to get Brody excited for Halloween. We went outside to take pictures in his pumpkin shirt with the pumpkins (pre-crafting). He thought it was hilarious to roll them around the driveway.

Then Dad got home and tried to throw Brody in a pile of leaves. Brody thought it was great until he landed (softly) in the leaves. He did NOT want to lie down in them, but he did want to crunch around in them with his shoes... This kept us occupied for a while.

We've also been making Halloween treats! This is what Brody helped me make this morning...

SPOOKY WORMS IN DIRT!

Man, was Brody ever excited!

He thought the worms were fantastic!! However, after trying one with the oreo crumbs on it, he asked me to lick off all of the rest of them for him... I guess gummy worms are only good when the texture is normal.

What a mess!!!! We spent a while cleaning up after this one, but he had fun eating it.

I love my little man!
