This year Quentin and I celebrated our second anniversary in August. All I remember is that we had something grand planned out but those plans never happened because of our son, Oliver. We were lame. We went to a theater in a town that is 40 minutes away and watched The Wolverine. It was a good movie. We came home to find our son was crying the entire time we were gone. B had finally got him to sleep but he woke up and cried 5 minutes after we got home. I'm just saying that I hope our third anniversary is more fun and memorable than this year's. Quentin and I did buy ourselves an anniversary gift which were cotton sheets and pillowcases. (Cotton is the traditional second year gift)
I got a hair cut back in August I think it was. I was growing my hair out to donate to Wigs for Kids. I was really REALLY scared and nervous. I finally just made an appointment. I went in and told that lady that I want my hair cut. I was so scared that I forgot to mention that I wanted to donate my hair and to save it. I didn't remember till Quentin asked me about it and we were already on our way back home. I felt so sad that I forgot and that I didn't get to help kids.
I didn't really take a before and after picture but the pictures I do have are pretty close.
This is the kind of before...
And this is the kind of after picture. I like my hair short and I am thinking about getting it cut shorter! What an idea right?!
I think it was two weeks ago I woke up one morning and felt like making a fort. And so that is what I did.
This is the outside, obviously.
This is the entrance.
This is, yeah. I don't know.
I made myself a bed inside. :)
Halloween was just last week. OLIVER TURNED ONE!!!! My baby boy is one year old! How exciting is that!? I am so blessed to have him as my son. But I am not going to talk about his birthday just yet. I threw a birthday party for me and that will be more in detail in another post. I want to point out that I was not in the hospital for this Halloween. I was actually home for trick o' treaters. But only three came by. Colebrook is a really small town and most of the people are old. But I got three. Quentin and I dressed up. Quentin was a pirate, I was a Greek goddess, and Oliver was Max from Where The Wild Things Are. I think he pulled his whiskers off because there was only one when I got the picture. Oliver went trick o' treating at B's, his GG Aunt Sandra, and his Nana. Oh and at Quentin's dad's store! (That is where he got most of his candy). The night before Halloween Quentin and I carved our pumpkins.
I am marvelous!
This pirate is telling you how it is.
This is me scrapping nasty pumpkin guts off of my fingers.
Oliver sitting on his trick o' treating bag while we do all the hard work.
Quentin carving his pumpkin.
There I am again carving my pumpkin.
And these are the final results. I carved a spider. Oliver's is the Jack O' Lantern and Quentin's is the (say it in a vampire voice) Velcome skull one.
I think his turned out the best.
Here is the King of the Wild Things.
That is the update on what has happened with this little family. I am going to try this week and catch up on my Post-It note of posts I need to write. No promises though.
