Tonight is Halloween! We spent our evening at church for Trunk or Treat. It was so much fun and there were so many cute trunks and costumes. Parker didn't know what to think about some of the costumes and was afraid of a couple. It was fun to watch him take it all in.
I didn't get many pictures but I got a few. I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Happy Halloween!

It's Thursday night, 11:31 PM to be exact, and I am still up. I'm so tired I could fall asleep any minute but I'm trying to wait for Michael. I don't think I'm going to make it.
Tonight Michael's softball team is playing in the tournament, they were undefeated until their second game of the night BY ONE RUN! I mean really guys? One run? Ok enough of that talk, so because they lost the second game they had to play a third, this game would determine 1st and 2nd place. I haven't heard anything yet.
Parker and I went to the first game at 7 but we came home after that because little man was cranky and this momma had to cook! We got home, Parker got his bath and I sat down to rock him while he had his bottle. I took the opportunity to also watch Grey's.
After Grey's I got Parker down and started cooking. Work is having a Halloween Brunch and I was asked to make breakfast casserole. I think it's like crack or something, I have to make it every time we have a function.
Anyway I'm done cooking and as soon as I sat down I felt the tiredness. Michael just walked in the door and guess what!
Well good night everyone, have a happy and safe weekend!

They WON! I am so proud ::cheesy grin:: Michael looks so tired ha-ha but he is really happy.
Also before I go I want to say congratulations to our friends Scott and Meagan Moore, they just welcomed baby girl Carsyn into the world. She was born at 6:13 and weighed 7.6 lbs 19 inches long.

I love my brother, we don't get to see him often but whenever we do it is always a lot of fun. Parker loves his Uncle Awesome and Robert, if you're reading this, Parker smiled and touched the picture when he saw you.
Have a great week y'all!
It is so strange, Parker has certain looks and expressions that Robert had as a baby.
So now that I've gotten all mushy about my brother, I thought I'd close the weekend by saying and showing you that MY KID IS WALKING! Not continuously but he is getting there, we're both excited and worried...time to hang everything from the ceiling.
Oh and sorry for the crappiness that is my cell phone's video quality. I promise to get a video with the camera soon.
Have a great week y'all!

Today I woke up to my kiddo coughing. He had been coughing throughout the night and it was only getting worse. I got up, showered and got dressed before going in to turn on his light and when I did I saw he was wide awake. This would be no big thing except it was an hour earlier than his usual wake up time, I blame the coughing.
I decided to go ahead and get him up and changed and while I was doing that I wanted to take his temperature. He had a low grade fever, nothing terrible and he was acting fine so I just gave him some Motrin and we headed out.
At daycare I let them know he was coughing and snotty and also to keep an eye on his temperature in case it got any higher. They said alright and as I turned to leave I noticed Parker happily playing with his friends. The kid never acts sick, he did fall asleep while eating lunch though.
By 10:00 I was a mess...I couldn't help but worry that his ear was infected again and that he was going to have to be put on another antibiotic for another 2 weeks. I called the nurse and left a message asking if I needed to come in even though his fever was a low one...Of course they said yes, I think they only see dollar signs. So I made Parker an afternoon appointment and that was that!
Now I know you're wondering "Whats wrong with that Krista?" and I'll tell you what was wrong...nothing. There was nothing wrong with Parker, his ear was fine and everything else looked good too. He is on Benadryl at night and either Claritan or Zyrtec during the day.
I didn't want to be one of those moms who worries all of the time and makes things worse than they are but I can't help it! With all of the times Parker has been to the doctors office in the last 13 months I bet I can count on 1 hand how many times I took him "Just to make sure" and there was nothing wrong.
I guess next time I just need to do Benadryl and Zyrtec first and then if that doesn't work I'll take him in.
So yes, my name is Krista and I am one of THOSE moms. The kind that calls her Mom/Granny/Aunt/MIL and lastly the clinic nurse at the first sign of green snot and a cough.
I know I spend $25 every time I go in and nothing is wrong but I get to go home with the peace of mind knowing that Parker's ear was just fine.

Our weekend was full and fun! We left Friday and went down to the deer lease, I made chicken tenders, mashed potatos and corn for supper and after eating, and cleaning up we drove around. Michael wanted to check his game camera to see if any deer were around his feeder but all there were, were racoons
Look at them! There are a ton of pictures like this one.
Saturday I made breakfast while Michael was hunting. I made eggs, sausage and biscuits, it was so good. Michael went out to put a guard on his feeder to keep the racoons out of his corn and then came back to get me and Parker. We drove around the lease and saw the old house where Michael's granddad was born, and some old barns. I don't have pictures of the house but I will be sure to get some next time, it is so pretty.
Saturday night Michael's Uncle, Aunt and a couple of cousins came out and we sat around talking and spending time. Sunday we drove around some more and then left around lunch time. It was a lot of fun.
Here are some pictures of the weekend!
This past Thursday we met Callie out at a school that had some pumpkins and hay bales to get some fall pictures of Parker. They turned out awesome, I love them!

So I am pretty proud of my baby and his beautiful art skills and just like any mother, I proudly display his creations on the fridge, eventually in frames in my dining room and at work!
Yesterday evening was open house at Parker's daycare so when I went to pick him up there were all sorts of things for me to see! They had collages of all of the kids in the class doing different activities. There was one for snack time showing them all sitting at the table like grown ups eating cookies or crackers or something. There was one of nap time and I saw my little baby sleeping on a cot like a big boy. There were 2 or 3 of them doing different art projects and story time and then one of them playing outside.
It was so sweet seeing the things my little guy does all day and it while it made me sad that I am missing those things while at work, I was happy that he is learning to do so many things.
After I talked to his teachers about the pictures, they told me that Parker is really the only kiddo in the class who can point to his facial features and say some of them. Me or Teacher "Parker where is your nose?" Parker *Points to nose* "Noooo" he points to his eyes, nose and mouth. He can also show you his tongue when you ask him where it is.
Other than learning his facial features and some words he has also been taking one or 2 steps everyday and we think he is getting really close to taking off!
When it was time to go, I was given a folder that they made from construction paper that Parker decorated with colors, stickers and his hand print. Inside were some pictures he colored, chalked and painted. Here are those projects along with my wall of art at work :)

I am somewhat satisfied with my blog at the moment. I like most of it but I am sure I'll be changing the header again after Callie takes some oh so adorable fall pictures of my boy!
Today is McFatty Monday (I know it's Tuesday...) and I am happy to report that I am feeling great today! No I didn't weigh. I don't want to, I was feeling good about myself and I knew if I got on the scale I'd be depressed. Actually I might not have been but I didn't want to chance it, call me a scaredy cat. Anyway, I am hoping to join a Zuba Fitness class because I miss dancing so much. It is sure to kick my butt BUT they say I'll lose a dress/pant size in a week. I want to go twice a week. I'll let you know how it goes, when I actually start going.
In other news, I got all of my laundry done, the grocery shopping done and the house somewhat clean over the weekend. I did not get my flower beds weeded and I was slightly in shock at the price of the sad looking Mums at Walmart...I will be heading over to the farmer's market when I have money and hopefully purchasing some Mums, Morning Glory and other fall flowers. I also hope to work on a new wreath since mine is MIA due to the tornado and moving out of the house. Pictures will come soon!
This weekend i going to be fun, the three of us are going to the deer lease and are going to have family time! I will bring my camera fully charged so I can get some good shots of Parker being a boy.
That's all I've got for now folks, I'll be back tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday!

Please be aware that this post is random and not about any specific topic…
So sorry for my lack of posts this week! I owe you a Wordless Wednesday picture so here you go!
We haven’t been up to much this week, just the usual. I am so looking forward to my 3 day weekend…apparently Parker and I are the only ones that are off ha-ha who knew Columbus Day wasn’t a holiday for most businesses. That’s ok though because I will be calling up GiGi to see what she is up to. Yay for working for the government!
Tomorrow is a cleaning day here at work and I think we’re going to be decorating for Halloween! I am so excited! There are already a few people with little decorations around but not much. I was on maternity leave last year during October and November so I didn’t get to see any of festivities.
Our October has quickly filled up and I am not going to be able to do all of the things I wanted to do, as usual. We have been to Houston twice this month, this coming weekend was supposed to be my weekend with NOTHING to do and it still is sort of but we have a wedding to go to tomorrow, and a birthday party Saturday night.
Next weekend I was supposed to take my field course for hunter’s safety but I think I am going to wait to that until next year. I am hoping that the hot water heater and washer will be fixed at the deer lease by then so we can all go down there and spend the weekend.
The following weekend is Michael’s 10 year high school reunion and let me tell you…I thought it was one night where we go to some little banquet but I WAS WRONG. I’m not complaining…Michael is. The entire weekend (not Sunday) is devoted to activities. Friday is the homecoming game, Saturday afternoon is a family picnic so your old classmates can meet your kids and Saturday night is the banquet. I have no idea what all we’re going to do but I am mildly worried.
After that it will be Halloween weekend and we will get to see my Granny Shayne (GG Shayne) on the 30th and I think we’re going to a Halloween party at BeBe and T-Paw’s house that night. Sunday we might go to a trunk or treat early so we aren’t out to late…then it will be November!
Some of the things I wanted to do were Boo on the Boardwalk down in Kemah, The Scarecrow Festival in Chapel Hill and Canton which was last weekend ::boo::. I’m still hopeful for November though, I’ve already become a hunting widow and it’s only bow season.
Delana and I have discussed our shopping excursions and possible weekend trips while the boys are off hunting. Of course we’ll have our decorating weekend in which the boys get all of the Christmas decorations down and on the back porch and we spend an entire weekend decorating! Maybe Parker and I can spend the weekend at GiGi’s house this year and we can play Christmas music while we decorate. It’s always so much easier when the boys are gone!
I won’t decorate my house until after Thanksgiving and I know I’ll be itching to do it early like I always am but we’re going to have to get new lights for the house, a new tree and also replace some ornaments so I’ll be waiting. I can’t wait to spend Christmas at our house this year. Christmas morning isn’t the same in a hotel room, even though we were together and we were with family that day…we were so looking forward to Christmas morning at home and watching Parker play with wrapping paper and bows while I snapped a thousand pictures. Please Lord, no tornadoes this Christmas mkay!
Alright friends, I think I have babbled enough for now. I will be back soon to post pictures from the weekend!

So this morning I got myself and Parker ready for our days, got the diaper bag packed and everything in the car so we could go over to Tommy and Belinda's for dinner. I took Parker to daycare and after a short detour back home for Parker's meds and then back to daycare I went to work. I typed out an email to my MIL and bestie about how it was Tuesday and we were one day closer to the weekend...here's the thing. I'd had it in my head all day that we were going over to the FIL's house for dinner and even brought the school picture of Parker with me so I could give it to them tonight and we don't go on Tuesdays.
My ah-ha moment came whenever I called Michael to get him to go get diapers and to prepare to be ready to go when I got home and he said "Why are we going to Dad's?" I was like "For dinner" (in a duh voice) and then it hit me...it is not Wednesday. I am a dork.
At least the bag is all packed and I can just throw everything into the car in the morning!
I hope you all had a great Tuesday!!
Oh and PS Top Mommy Blogs reset last night so if you wouldn't mind going over there and clicking a couple of times, that would be oh so sweet!
