The Fall

I am not really a fall girl but Cheryl (my mother in law) and I went to the park and took pictures of Caiadn in the leaves. He didn't really like them all that much!

Caidan being Caidan

So this is a typical day when Caidan is just being Caidan.He loves to climb on EVERYTHING and ANYTHING! Here we found him in the dogs cage which was on top of another dogs cage. Don't ask me how he got up there because I don't know... but he is a monkey!

(None of this was stage is was all my brilliant son!)

Pumpkin Patch!

Yesterday we went out in the windy cold air and got pumpkins and apples and apple cider doughnuts and apple cider (I love REAL apple cider! And unfortunately I paid full price for it... :( )

While we were waiting for the tractor Caidan went and played on the pretend tractor. 

Caidan was concerned when the tractor started.

He wanted to pick up his own pumpkin since mommy and daddy were doing it! 

He had a BLaST walking the pumpkin patch. His favorite part was at the end... 

There was a golf cart! While we were searching for the perfect pumpkins he was making his way to the golf cart. 

We left daddy out in the patch while he was still looking for his pumpkin to go back and get the wagon so we could haul them back. 

My Sweet A$$ Deals

I didn't blog about my deals last week but I did really well . I spent 

a little more out of pocket (OOP) than I wanted to but in the end I made a profit! :) 

I got this at Walmart for a dollar!!!

This however I didn't make a profit on but couldn't pass up these deals. 

We have a Goodwill that opened in July or August. When I went in last week I found a outside climbing toy for 9.99 and a Britax Boulevard car seat for 39.99. At first I was a little worried about the car seat. But it was manufactured in JAN08 and it was still in the box and in the plastic. So I couldn't pass up the deal. 

This week so far has been really GREAT! (It would have been better but had problems with my bank card).

SHE SMILED!!!!

Kloe smiled today!!! And it wasn't just gas... she did it like 5 times and I got a picture!

1 month!

My little girl is 1 month old and I can hardly believe it. It was quite a month to say the least. I really only expected her to be about two weeks right now. Never did I think that she would be 1 MONTH! I really do spend all my day with her (except the occasional trips to Walgreens when Chris is home :)). I don't want to be away from her. I spent a lot of time away from her in the beginning and leaving her now just seems ridiculous to me. Going from having her with me every single minute to not seeing her for 5 hours and then going over twelve hours was difficult and I'm just not ready to be away from her.

Beside from being in the NICU for the first week and then coming home and having a double ear infection (which by the way didn't go away with the first rounds of meds so we are on to a different kind) for the past two weeks, she is a GREAT baby! I love the fact that I have been able to breast feed her. I think back to when Caidan was this little and at six weeks he was already getting rice cereal and I just think that is crazy. Its funny how the second time around everything is different. 

Well here are her stats for 1 month.

1 MONTH

9lbs 9oz

21 1/2 inches

Oh and we can't forget Caidan!!! He is the best biggest little brother ever. He is so sweet to her and tries to give her her paci all the time... even when she isn't crying. He gives her kisses all the time (even though his kisses are just putting his head to her head.) He is so sweet. I couldn't have asked for anything better. He's my little Ham! (I got the camera out to take the picture and he stood right in front of me and smiled!)
