Hmmm, What am I up to?

Can you guess?

It's Dane's 3rd birthday cupcakes!

What crazy hairbrained idea have I got? You'll have to tune back in on Sunday to check it out!

A Country Christmas

A couple weeks ago Dane and I went down to the Zanesfield Turkey Raffle. We didn't win a turkey but we did win the door prize which was a family pass to Marmon Valley Farm and A Country Christmas.

We'd never done this before. Marmon Valley is all set up with lights, a wagon ride, pony rides, cookies/crafts, a petting zoo, and Christmas tree's for sale.

The pony was a definite hit!

All cozied up in the hay for the wagon ride.

The wagon ride takes you all over the farm stopping in different locations to see scenes from the bible and the birth of baby jesus. Dane loved this and was so quiet watching the mini plays.

The petting zoo. A bit of a let down, only had bunnies (seen below), ducks, chickens, and ponies.

All bundled up with my baby!

Finally, It's here!

For those of you who read this blog on the regular, you know I received this old channel back chair back in July.

Then you'll also know that not soon after I fell in love with this Robert Allen for Dwell Studio print called Gate.

The fabric was not available to the general public till today......I've been checking almost daily since July!!! It's now up for sale on the Dwell Studio website and it's actually affordable! I want it SO BAD! Why'd it have to wait till now to come up for sale, when my husband is jobless and I'm such a tightwad or let's use the word frugal, that sounds better.

I had it in the shopping cart and everything but stopped myself or rather Brad guilted me alittle, but he's probably right.

But while I'm still dreaming...... I really like this fabric too and had a yard of it in the cart so I could make a couple throw pillows for the couch and or chair.

Well, enough of that. Gotta put it behind me for now. We're in self preservation mode around here till spring and the money starts rolling back in. OR I just had a brillant idea, Maybe my work Christmas bonus!?!

Flurries

December 1st and it snows. It actually is pretty to look at from the windows of my toasty warm house but I have to go to work in a few hours and not looking forward to it. Brrrrrr.

Here's a photo of storytime with Mariana that I took a few months ago. The book was a spooky mickey mouse halloween book, I love the furrowed brow and look of concern on Dane's face. Funny.

Sending out birthday invites today for Dane's party next weekend. I can't believe he's gonna be 3 already, time flys. He's been talking about his birthday for months. It's totally adorable to hear him tell people his birthday is December 10th.

Preggo Update: Something about getting up at 5am makes me puke. Is it cause I'm still tired? or cause I'm getting ready for work and don't have time to just sit for a few minutes and eat something slowly? The days I get to sleep in alittle, I'm fine. I rise slowly, head downstairs and lay around on the couch for awhile while I slowly munch on something. I have been feeling better throughout the day though which helps a ton!

Just a few more weeks and we'll get to find out the sex of this bun in the oven! Really excited, but I think I already know the result. We'll see. It should be around Christmas time, what a fun present!
