THANK Auntie - you saved the day!

Well, first off I have to say, I'm VERY cheap. I don't like to buy things unless they are on sale or a good deal. So when my pumpkins didn't grow from my garden, I thought oh well, I'll buy a couple from the store.....um, not for $5.95 for ONE pumpkin, NOT worth it for me.

Well my dear Sister in Law Heather came through with 2 perfect little pumpkins to carve!! You saved the day, THANK YOU!!

Cayden would NOT touch inside the pumpkin, he thought it was yucky, we got him to put his hand in there long enough for this picture, he just wanted to color on it.

Prestyn wasn't too sure about all the slime either.
Once we got to the markers I had a happy camper (by this time Prestyn was off playing somewhere - no doubt pulling every book off his bookshelf or something similar) :)

I had to finishs Prestyns for him (on the left) and Cayden's is on the right!!

Now today we baked the seeds, YUM YUM!! Looks like I know what I'll be snacking on this weekend. Oh who am I kidding, they'll be gone by tonight!! YUM!

Don't they have any girl babies?

As I'm looking at a magazine, Cayden spots a picture of a woman who is pregnant.

He asks me: "Mommy, are you going to have a big belly like that?"

me: "Yes, but mine will probably be alot bigger! (as I'm giggling)"

Cayden: "Oh, well I want it to be a girl baby"

Me: "It might be a boy, or it might be a girl, we don't know yet"

Cayden: "Don't they have any girl babies?"

Me: "Who?"

Cayden: "the doctors!"

Me: "Honey, GOD already chose who this baby is, He decided if it is a boy or a girl, we just have to wait & see what God gave us."

Cayden: "Oh, does God make girl babies?"

Me: "Yep, he does!"

Cayden: "Okay, I hope we get a girl baby!"

I'm still giggling....he just makes me laugh & laugh. We don't hardly even talk about the gender of this baby, and we certainly aren't just talking girl. It's so funny to hear his "wants" and his perception of who decided the gender...i guess when we go to the hosptial the Doctor will bring us a girl baby or a boy baby!! :) Awe, gotta love these kids!!

I love babywearing!!

I started wearing Prestyn when he was a few months old. A friend of mine borrowed me her Hot Sling, so sweet! I loved it when he was a new baby as he could lay across in it & snooze or just check things out. This is the same hot sling I wore him in when he was a baby and in this picture he is 14 months. (I'll have to dig up the oldies and do another post with comparisson pics) It's still comfortable and he can still see what going on & I'm pretty much hands free.

Now I just need to get my own Hot Sling. The cool thing is they have now come out with a "one sized" Hot Sling...check them out here: http://www.hotslings.com/

My sister convinced me to try a Mei Tai as that is what she uses with her LO's. So I actually traded my cards for this one. And I love it too! I would wear Prestyn in the front when he was smaller and he could snooze on my chest. But the back is alot easier with this one for larger babies, he has a better view (not just staring at mommy)!

Cloth diaper giveaway!

Hey everyone, I just came across this Thirsties Duo and Fab fitted giveaway and had to share it with you all! I LOVE living green and using our cloth diapers. We used TFF's when Prestyn was about 4 months old and I was sad when he outgrew them. I'd love to have more of then! The Thirsties Duo is a new cover that I've never tried, but I love OS (one-sized) dipes, so I'm hoping to get my hands on one of these.
