Come and Gone

That's right my due date has come and gone. It seems our little girl is much to comfortable in there to want to come out. We went to the dr's this past Tuesday (her actual due date) and we were hoping he would say I could be induced on Thursday but no such luck. I still had not progressed from being a 1 so he said he wanted to wait one week. We now have an official due date of September 7th. That is if she doesn't come before. Doubtful that she will. So here is to being as patient as possible and looking forward to meeting our sweet little bundle of joy in 4 days.

Grocery Shopping

Dear Lady waiting to check out,

     I know you must be in a hurry but since this is walmart NOTHING ever goes fast here. Ramming your cart up my rear end will not make the cashier or the credit card machine go any faster so PLEASE back off and give me at least enough space so that I can fit in between your cart and mine.

Thank you ever so kindly,
                     The lady who had to use a crow bar to get your cart unstuck.

You never know what to expect when running to walmart and the other day I have to say for the first time ever I was wedged between two carts and the lady wedging me did NOT care at all. I was in the check out line and had a lot of stuff. I was standing to the side of my cart loading the groceries as the cashier rang them up. As she got closer the the end of my items I stepped back to the top of my cart so I could pay for my items. As I was standing there a lady about mid 40's came and put her few items on the belt. As her items moved closer and closer to the scanner so did she. I noticed she was getting a little too close if you know what I mean and I scooted as close to my cart as possible (with a pregnant belly it's not as easy as it used to be.) I ran my card through the machine and was just waiting for it to process when the next thing I knew she was hitting my ever so lovely ghetto booty with her cart. If you know me at all I am not one to say anything so I shot her a NASTY look which she did not even notice. I didn't know if she wanted to give me a ride or just pay for my groceries so she could get out of there faster. Needless to say I collected my groceries shooting her another nasty glare (again she took no notice) and left. My question is who doesn't know when there cart has hit something and then look to see what it is and when you notice it is a persons say I am sorry? Only at walmart would you find a person like that.

The results are in...

Happy Belated Birthday

I just wanted to give a quick late Happy Birthday shout out to this wonderful man, whom I adore!

He turned 27 on Wednesday. I am so very blessed to be in his life and I love him more than words could ever express so with that Happy Birthday Ricky! I hope it was everything and more than you expected.

Turtle Neck Twins

Tonight was our first Christmas party of the season. The Rockwoods had everyone over to their home for dinner, games, and an ugly Christmas sweater contest. Ricky and I spent close to four hours looking for the ugliest sweaters we could find and in the end we settled on these beauties.

I guess all the hassel was worth it because in the end, even though it was a tight race with the Tanner family,  we won. I think what really made it the ugliest was the holly and ivy turtle necks under the sweaters. I don't know why any store would sell something so hidious but I am glad they did. Here is the Tanner family who took a very very close second. (When I say close I mean we won by one vote.)

Both of their sweaters lit up. So cute. Even little Gracie had on an ugly sweater.

We also did a white elephant gift exchange. The two snuggies seemed to be the hot item this year. I guess now I know what to bring to my next Christmas party.

This was most of the girls in our ugly sweaters. I see a Christmas card in the future.

Ghosts and goblins and ghouls oh my!

For Halloween Ricky and I went to Corby and Lindsay's house for a costume party. We went as romans. We did a pot luck dinner and Lindsay made the best chicken soup. After dinner came the pumpkin carving contest. Once all the pumpkins were carved we voted. Ricky and I unfortunately didn't win but we tied for last. After the pumpkins came the games. Instead of bobbing for apples we bobbed for tug boats. This is how we played. One person would have to grab the boat then give it to their partner using only their mouth. Their partner would then have to drop it in the bucket. Once you had all your boats in the bucket you would switch places with your partner and start again. The team who got all their boats in the bucket the fastest won a prize. Sounds easy huh but there was one small problem, from all the splashing around the boats would take on water and sink and then came the hard part of trying to get them out without soaking yourself. The pictures that follow will show you how hard it was to stay dry. After the games it was time for a movie but there were so many of us we ended up sitting around talking. It was so much fun and both Ricky and I think the Hogans need to make the Halloween party a tradition. 

Some of us girls.

Carving our pumpkins. Notice all the girls doing the carving. Where are the boys?

Waiting to be judged.

Lindsay trying to get her boats. They were all sitting on the bottom of the tub and the only way she could pick them up was to stick her whole head in.

We had such a wonderful time at the Hogan's. They know how to throw a good party. Next year Ricky and I will have to step up our game so we can win the costume contest.

Pooped

Lucy had a REALLY REALLY rough day.
