Snippets

We busted out our most creative carving abilities and hacked away at our pumpkins Sunday.

ready to go

Plastic drop cloth rolls=easy clean up. Just cut off enough to cover the table, many uses for a couple dollars..

 Hudson's Pumpkin

 Per request of Easton

 Not easy to tell what it is yet...

 All together!

Yum yum!!

So, that happened. And also we've been fighting the nastiest cold to hit us in a long time. The whole fam-damily has it (which of course means that sometime in the next few days the man-cold will probably rear its ugly, lazy, whiney head.. sorry babe, you SUCK at being sick, I love you but you suck at it.....) The worst is watching Hudson fight it.. He has a flair for drama (from his mama) and DOES NOT take lightly to being unconfortable..

Drama flair...also, top teeth nubbins. 

Miserable

Yesterday was just awful, we took somewhere around two thousand steam shower/baths to try to break up the mucus/snot/devilcold and get it movin-on-out. During one of which, my phone took a bit of a dip into the water, but some how LIVES ON! It's like Steve Jobs intervened and was my phones guardian angel for a hot minute. So ridiculously thankful because replacing my phone is NOT in our budget right now. Anyways back to Huddy, he wanted nothing to do with anything, no snuggles, no hopping, no music, no brother, no sleeping, no waking, no bottles, no food, no you get the point. Finally, we got him to sleep letting him actually just whine himself down. He slept for 83% of the day, then thru the night, then slept in. AND took a pacifier, which I have neva in his short life witnessed happen before.. He woke up ok, bounced a little this morning and is now succombing to his runny nose and whining thru the song Easton is preforming (I think it might be some lady gaga, but I can't tell...). So, off to bed Huddy goes!

Easton, the worlds most destructive two year old, has managed to pour gallons of water out of the tub every time he takes a bath, which I am sure means that our bathroom floor will need replacing asap.. He also emptied a nearly full lotion on to our bed, nail polish all over my mom's house, baking soda onto the counter and floor, and my shampoo into said bath. it is pretty amazing how much mischief he can get into while I am changing a diaper...Or risking my house for the sake of a shower.

BUT on a super yummy positive note, we threw together some delicious chocolate chip cookies last night at the perfect hour of 930 and they turned out great! I used Grace's recipe and modified it just a touch including 1/2c more flour, 1/4c more white sugar and a 1/4c more butter, because I was reading the wrong recipe before I remembered hers! But they are perfect!

I did not stack them, so pintrest fail when it comes to taking a picture...
