A Little Bit 'O This 'N That

The other day, Aaron came home from school exhausted. So, he stretched out on the floor and attempted (you'll see why it was merely an attempt in a minute) to rest. At first Lincoln was really cute, he went over to Aaron and laid down next to him and just stayed there for awhile. (Not long enough for me to grab the camera though.) Then Linc would get up, come over to me, then go back and lie down somewhere in Aaron's vicinity. It was adorable. Then the fun began. Lincoln decided he was tired of letting Aaron rest, I'm mean c'mon he'd had a good 15 minutes by then, so Lincoln took matters into his own hands. At first he tried the friendly face push to see if Aaron would get up. No response. Next, Lincoln rocked Aaron back and forth to try and see if there was any life left in him. Determining that there was not, Lincoln came to the conclusion that Aaron was an inanimate object and proceeded to climb back and forth over the top of him with great pleasure.


In other great news...today I went shopping! And I got to buy something, even better. Lincoln and I went to Shopko. They were having a 50% off sale on toddlers winter clothing, dangerous. But even more dangerous, they were also having a 40-80% off maternity clothes sale. SCORE! Now really, I'm not in that great of need for maternity clothes yet, although my tummy does have a little pooch already (it came so much sooner this go around), most of my pants still fit. My major problem however is that my bust has decided to bust out if you know what I mean, and most of my shirts are reaching the point of indecent. Seriously I feel like I got hit in the chest with a softball and swelled right up. The joys of being pregnant aye? So, in order to keep
myself modest, I bought a few tops to hold me over until October when Aaron's sister Stacey has her baby and sends all of her darling maternity clothes my way. The picture doesn't really do them justice, they are a lot cuter. And the very cutest one isn't pictured because it is currently on my person. Then of course there was Lincoln's well being to consider. I mean if I wait until winter to buy him winter clothes I'll pay full price for them, so I caved. Not to mention that I still haven't used the free 8x10 at Kiddie Kandids that Lincoln won and Tomato Days, and need an outfit for him to go it. So there you have it. All our major purchases. Even though I kind of spent a lot, it's about 1/2 of what I would have spent if I'd paid full price, so in my book that goes down as a steal. And well worth it.

Also, I know I've been promising a picture of the new do. I was trying to wait until Aaron was home to take the picture and my hair looked good at the same time (not as easy as it sounds, since Lincoln has discovered how to comb my hair and thinks it's great fun.) so that he could take a pic for me. But today I finally broke down and attempted to take the pictures myself. So here's my new hair cut! Yay! I really like it. So if you don't then don't say anything, you'll burst my bubble :) Just keep in mind that although my hair was done for the picture, my makeup was not,
so don't look at my face, just my hair! There is a side shot and a front shot, so you get the full effect. Well, except for the back I guess, but don't feel too bad, my hand mirror broke in the move, so I haven't seen the back yet either! Ha!

Your hair looks great! Sounds like you guys are having all sorts of fun down there... your son is so cute! At least he understands his duties to make sure you and Aaron don't get enough sleep :-)

Love the hair. What I would do if I had straight hair. Guess what it's been in the 70's and 80's here the last few days. My windows are open now and it feels amazing!! Only you can appreciate that as a former Texas resident.
