Thursday, October 8

Today was a boring day. Nothing major happened. Josh did play outside tonight on his tractor. Nena got to see him steer it pretty well. He seemed to like running into the flowers today so mommy made him stop. Mean mommy! I think he was getting tired though.

Nena suggested mommy water her plants and then realized why mommy didn't want to with Josh around. Hmmm.... I can if I have to but it's a little difficult with a dog who wants to "catch" the water coming out of the hose and a little boy who wants to get the puppy with the hose and then swing around with it still running spraying everyone. I think it might have been when Nena realized Josh was trying to spray HER with the water that it was time to take him inside while mommy finished. :-)

Now I'm trying to get some pictures organized again. It's been awhile since I tried to put things on the computer and in the "correct" folders. I think I'll work on that tonight.

Miss hubby more than yesterday. Big moon tonight.

Wednesday, October 7

So I decided to get a little creative and change the background on my blog. Hoep you like it.

Today was another busy day. Not so much at work as things are still ab it slow there for me but they're starting to pick up. Josh made mommy put a coat on when we left the hosue this morning. I guess at 2 he's already looking out for mommy. :-)

We b rough some guests home tonight. They've been a big help with keeping Josh busy while I got a few things done. Floor hasn't been done yet but that's ok. Tomorrow. :-)

Josh got a cookie and made sure he gave everyone one. He would cry and get all upset if I tried to take the cookies from him since he had one already. Then I realized what he was doing. :-) He did the same thign when he got a cereal bar. I guess he's a thoughtful host huh? Where did he learn that from? :-)

No pics today - sorry. Enjoying the moon tonight - as I have a lot lately.

Night night.

Tuesday, October 6

Josh has found a new way to help mommy. I was getting the hose out to water all the new plants when someone took over. The dog loved it. Josh thought it was hilarious and when I gave him something to point at he did pretty good. :-) He only had one mishap that made him cry. When he was trying to get the hose to turn on and he pointed it at himself when it finally decided to cooperate.

After watering all fo the plants we went in for abubble bath. That went well. Now he's eating yogurt like he hasn't eaten in a week. LOL

We got a picture from daddy today. I showed Josh and he looked at it - Daddy! Daddy! Then he leaned in to the screen and gave daddy a big kiss. :-) I guess he misses Daddy as much as mommy does. :-)

I have a littl ehlp coming over tomorrow. they're going to help me watch Josh and maybe even with a little cleaning. Can you believe any 11 year old LIKES to vacuum and mop - even it's with a fun steam mop! They're spending the ngiht and I'll take them home in the morning when I drop Josh off at their house.

Well someone has finished their yogurt and is growling into the empty cup. I think it's about time for Sesame street and then to bed. (For both of us.)

Sunday, October 4

So here are some before and after pictures of the new things that have been planted. I didn't get a before picture for the nectarine and blueberry bushes but they were just added. Nothing was taken out.

Next is the trees in front of the house. This area is hard to get things to grow in so I hope these take soon. They're supposed to be in shade and get a peach colored flower.

This is the side of the house and hubby didn't like having to mow around things so I took some plants we ripped out and put them here. Some Irises next the house and hostas in front of them. I think they'll all fill in nicely and help hubby too.

Here are some before and after pics from in front of the house. I think it looks SO much better now. I hope hubby agrees. It was a lot of work and my back hurts! :-)

This is also the front of the house.

More...

The last few...

And here is one of where the dog seems to think is his bed for the night. I suppose because I'm in his spot on the couch. LOL

Time for bed for me. I'm very tired. Going to take some Tylenol. My back hurts. Hmm... I wonder why...

Miss hubby...

Saturday, October 3

Today I got to finally tear out some plants and planted some new ones. I have some before pictures but I was too tired to take any afters just yet. Hopefully tomorrow I can post some of them. :-) i was very lucky to have my BIL Jeffy come to help me. We didn't ge everything done but my dad is comign tomorrow to help. Hopefully we can finish it up tomorrow.

Josh had a blast helping dig in the dirt. At one point he even tried to dig with his shovel using his foot like mommy and uncle Jeffy. Sorry - no pics of that.

Buddy also had fun today. Not sure if Jeffy thought so or not. :-)

Josh got some mail today from Daddy. He really liked his teddy bear. He gave it a hug and kiss.

Been a long day. Was up until 1am and the boy had me up a little after 6. Lots of work outside too. It's after 9:30 and I'm going to bed.

Night. Night.

So Friday was my Christmas in october party. We had dinner then made cookies while we waited for the last person to arrive. Josh really enjoyed helping mix the coookies.

He was also a good taste tester!

While we rolled out cookies he had fun playing with his tractors.

He liked Christie's i-Phone. Maybe Santa will bring him one. :-)

Thursday, October 1

Today has gone really slowly. At least the boy FINALLY took a 2hr nap. :-) Maybe he won't be too cranky when we get home. nena is coming over to help watch him while I get some cleaning and things done around the house for tomorrow's Christmas in October party. Yep - I'm weird but so are the other people who are comign over. We're going to have pizza for dinner and maybe bake a few cookies. Then we're going to watch Christmas movies and decorate our fake Christmas tree in the basment/family room. We're even doing a small gift exchange! You can't have Christmas and a tree and no gifts right? I'm even making up a quiz on Christmas movies and whoever gets the most right will win a prize.

Josh wanted to write daddy a note so mommy helped him and Nena took our picture. Not bad huh Daddy?

We miss you Daddy! Sending monster hugs and kisses for you!
