Babysnazz give away

Hi ladies,

This morning when Ella Rose and I checked my email we discovered that Babysnazz is having a contest! Wooo HOO!! The contest is for 20 free pairs of babylegs. Please check it out. Even if your little one doesn't want or isn't interested in babylegs, they make great baby presents. :) Ella has about 12 pairs now and loves them. She's looking forward to wearing them all winter (or at least regularly). Also we have several friends who are expecting and I just know they are looking forward to using them too...wink, wink. Anyway...you can get one free entry (no purchase required) for signing up. Bonus entries occur for posting the link on facebook or on your blog. The contest ends November 30th. Go check it out!

Carving pumpkins

Josh, Ella and I carved pumpkins tonight and roasted pumpkin seeds! Yum! Ella had the best time playing with the pumpkins and pulling out strings from them. Amazingly she didn't put any in her mouth. Assuming I don't fall asleep at 8 pm tomorrow like I did last night, I'll post pictures then.



Good night!

Busy work week

Hi all-

Honestly, I don't feel like I've done a good job at all with NaBloWriMo (in other words posting every day in October) but this month has been nuts.

However, with that said, let me update you all on the Georgia National Fair. Josh, Ella and I had a blast! Ella got to see the cows and horses. She got to go to a petting zoo and best of all she got to hang out with her friend Sophia.

Although I swear she probably would say the best part of the trip was playing in the fountain. :) We had so much fun. Josh got candy apples, and cotton candy. We got to walk through a tree that was a house. Josh was really impressed by this!! He's a do it with your hands type of guy! And, I got to have fun with my friends and family at the 20th anniversary of the Georgia National Fair. It was great!

We'd planned to go to a Halloween party the following night, but Ella was totally worn out, and so was I. So we put off the Halloween party for this year. One night led into another and before we knew it I was falling asleep at 8:30 in the evening. I have no idea how I got so exhausted. The house became dirty and work and manage the basic chores were all I could do last week, but things are better now. I'm even going to try to get a post up on Ella's blog and on my pet's blog this evening.

This past weekend was a snuggle and nap weekend. I fixed more food for Ella Rose. She now has cranberry applesauce, blackbeans, cranberries, summer squash, turnips, more spinach, more split pea soup, and cantelope. She's all set. :) She didn't care for the autumn harvest soup I made, but that's okay...we have plenty of new things to try.

Josh helped me straighten up the house a lot this weekend. Then this afternoon, the rush began. Ella had a Dr's appt. She's got a cold...poor thing. So off to the doctor we went. We are going to pick up her cough medicine shortly.

Okay...so rambly old post...without pictures, but those will come soon...in the meantime it's back to the races for Ella and me. We've got to pick up her medicine and drop off Josh's casts off to the local version of Good Will. I'll try to post again soon!

Take care,
Betty

I'll post tomorrow, I promise. Just as soon as I shake this stomach bug. :)

I hope this counts...

It's late...still no update today on the fair, but it's almost 11 and I'm up at 5:30 so...it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Good night...

Long day....

Cell phone in the washer? Check. Washer turned on... check. Coffee all over the diningroom table and high chair? Check. Late getting out the door to go to work and the sitters? Check. Mix up the lunches so that I have the 8 month old's and she has mine? Check. Yep...that was the morning. Tonight has been much better though...and tomorrow, I really promise an update on the fair adventures. Good night!

Day at the Fair and other such

It's late, and we got back from the Georgia National Fair about an hour ago. It was much later than I thought we'd be home, but supper took FOREVER. That's okay though...in the meantime getting ready for bed and preparing for tomorrow, I've managed to throw my cell phone into the wash so my wonderful husband has gone to go get me a replacement at Walmart. I use the cheap track phones that I can switch my sim card to even though we have a permanent plan b/c I wash, drop, destroy phones at least once a year. So Josh is at Walmart...Ella and I are packed for our busy Mondays tomorrow and I'm off to bed. But I'll share all about our fair adventures tomorrow. Good night....
