Scarecrow and the cowardly lion

Thank you to the Crunch bar that allowed us to get a few cute pictures. Hudson loved wearing his costume to school and celebrating Halloween with his friends.

A gift from Webb

We received these at Webb's beautiful service yesterday. When we gave it to Hudson he said "oh Webb! Yay!" I am so glad we will always have this to remember such a sweet , little boy.

Sissy pants

Praying

We have done a lot of praying this week. Our friends lost their precious son all too soon this past weekend. I do not have the words to express the pain and saddness that we feel. I cannot even begin to imagine what they are going through. We are so blessed that Hudson was able to call Webb his friend and to have been able to run and play with him. Please keep this amazing family in your thoughts and prayers. Losing a 2 year old (or any child for the matter) just does not seem fair.

Happy Friday!

My biggest pet peeve

I have so many pet peeves. Really, I do. But I decided today that my biggest pet peeve is people who disrespect personal space.

I went to Panera with a girlfriend for breakfast (while Hudson is at school) and while we were standing in line a woman walked up to me and said "are you in line." We told her we were and then she honest to God stood so close to me that I could feel her breathing.... it was literally making my hair move because she was huffing and puffing. I kept trying to inch up and get away from her but ever time I moved, she moved.

I was on the verge of a panic attack. I felt like the entire place was closing in on me. I am hugely claustrophobic and this woman was just making me sweat. So what is the proper thing to do in that situation? My friend told me I should have turned around and sneezed on her.

In other positive news.... little man looked precious for school today



And these are too cute not to share. Here are the boys working in the yard last weekend. Hudson wanted to wear boots (shocker!) and a visor just like daddy.

Blah , blah, blah

- Hudson has battled a double ear infection this week. He is happy as can be one minute and the next minute the world is crashing down. A sick baby is so sad.

- He did go to school yesterday since he is not contagious and seemed fine in the morning. He had a great day and made this adorable ghost.


- I picked up Village Deli before I picked him up from school yesterday. I nearly had a heart attack when I was told it was $17 for our 2 sandwiches. It made it even worse when i got home, put mine down to wash my hands and came back to find Bailey had demolished it. Hudson was standing there with his eyes wide open and said, "ohhhhhhhhhhh, Sissy go to time out!"

- Hudson loves our big window in the living room. He has learned to climb on top of the sofa to look out at all the action


_ Hudson now says "Good morning" anytime you see him for the first time. It will be 3pm and he will run into the kitchen, see me and say "oh, good morning mommy." We are working so hard on his manners. He says "yes miss" for "yes mama" and "yessur" for "yes sir"

_ This fabric is on my radar to make a skirt for our bathroom sink. Maybe that will hide the fact that the sink is green!



It is a rainy day.... perfect to stay in side, catch up on laundry and clean for my family coming in town this weekend. Yay!

Hillridge 2011

One of my favorite fall traditions is going to Hillridge Farms to get our pumpkins. It is such a nice, clean farm with so many activities. We rode the train, went down the giant slide, fed animals, ran a corn maze, played on the playground, ate funnel cake and took a hayride to pick out our pumpkins.

I loved looking back at pictures and seeing how much Hudson has grown and seeing how we take the same pictures each year.






Our little man has grown so much! Here are some other cute ones from the farm

What happens while I clean

I always play music while I clean the house. Today I caught Hudson busting a move. How inappropriate that it was to Justin Timberlake's "sexy back" Maybe I should work on our playlist.



I did so many post this week.... just trying to keep Grandpa entertained while he is recovering from surgery!!!!

Tractor, tractor

One of my favorite things about Jonathan's family is that they keep everything. His mom has given us all of Jonathan's old hand smocked outfits, some toys, books and now his grandfather gave Hudson, Jonathan's old John Deere. Could there be a greater gift for a boy? It needed some work so we finally got it ready yesterday and someone was so happy about it.



I can't lie, I was pretty excited myself. We rode and rode and rode. Each time I would stop Hudson would push my back and say, "goooooooooooo mommy!"






Pardon the hair. I had just done full sprints around the neighborhood to chase Bailey, who decided it was finally time to introduce herself to everyone on the street. All while the boys laughed at me. Not to mention, the lenght of my hair is so long- In December I will be cutting 10 inches off for Locks of love!

Hudson is so lucky to have so many great things passed down to him. It is so special to watch toys get a new life. It always reminds me of the movie Toy Story.

Yesterday was picture day at school so we practiced at home


He is a ham! When I picked him up I asked what face he made for pictures. He squeezed my face and said "da cheese face mommy" Cannot wait to see what that means. He loves school and really is learning a lot. He comes home and talks all about it and tells us about all of his friends and teachers. At dinner the other night Jonathan asked him who his girlfriend was and he proudly announced, Claire. I may need to go have a chat with her!


Happy Friday!!!!

Wordless Wednesday- BFF

(pardon the outfit, these were from a stay at home day last week)
