Never Mess With a Couch!

My couch beat me up!
Ok, so James and I closed
on a house the weekend before
Thanksgiving. Well over Thanksgiving
weekend my folks came up to
help us out with the move.
Somehow the springs in our
couch came loose during the move
and while I inspected the problem,
my couch totally whacked
me in the face! Don't let this
picture fool you. This was taken
4 days after the beating.
So I'm the survivor of a brutal
sofa beating. Weird!

Tag

The Rules: Each player lists 6 facts/habits/secrets about themselves. At the end of the post the player tags six people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Have fun!



1. I think I'm obsessive compulsive. For instance: When I eat skittles, m&ms, runts, etc, I always sort them into colors and eat them according to flavors. I usually eat the flavor I least like and save the best for last. For skittles the order is: yellow, green, purple, orange, red. Wow I think I'm a little crazy.



2. I love to try new food. My husband is the opposite. When he finds an entree that he likes he rarely ever orders anything different. I don't necessarily like to eat weird things just stuff I haven't had before. I think the weirdest thing I've eaten would be fried pickles and frog legs but I was in Mississippi at the time. To appease my love for the new I've initiated expirement Tuesday. It's fun and it's only one night that my family has to suffer through.



3. I believed in Santa Claus until I was in fifth grade. Embarrassing I know. I love Christmas and I loved believing in Santa. It was a happy time for me. I also didn't have any older siblings to burst my bubble.



4. When I was dating in high school I always looked at noses and for arms. I can't possibly know the reason for my strange obsession , but the guys that were most attractive to me had good arms and cute noses. Weird!



5. I love to build and fix stuff. Nothing big. Little things like patching a hole in the wall or putting together a chest of drawers from walmart. Actually I'm really bad with exact measurements, but I have a husband that can take care of that for me. See we're the perfect team he's the brains I'm the muscle. LOL



6. I'm a perfectionist. Not in a good way. For example, when I was in high school I got really bad grades in my math class because if I didn't finish every problem on my assignments I wouldn't turn them in. Stupid I know but I couldn't stand to turn someting in unfinished. I think I've gotten a little better since I've gotten older but I still get hung up sometimes.

I want to tag: Laura, Nikki, Amy, Lia, Kate, and Calley

Trick or Treat

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I really enjoy designing and creating the costumes that my kids wear

This year Evelyn and Caitlin chose to be fairy princesses.


Recently Spence has really been into Toy Story so we made him a cowboy. The stick is actually a stick horse but he never really figured it out!

Last but not least. Madelin was a butterfly for 2 minutes (for pictures).

Pig Tails

There has been much debate as to whether Madelin has as much hair as Evelyn did when she was a newborn...I think this picture says it all.

Madelin


Well October 2nd turned out to be a great day, exhausting, but great! James and I ended up naming this little angel Madelin (Madee for short). She weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz. and was 20. 5 inches long. Labor was...well...labor. It was like death so I'm glad it was only 5 hours. I got an epidural but the most it did was to take the edge off. I guess I'm glad for that. All in all I can't complain. I now have four beautiful healthy children and a wonderful husband. I feel so blessed and grateful for the opportunity to have such a family.

Sweet baby


I took this picture the day that we brought Madee home from the hospital. It always amazes me how sweet these little ones are. Before I had her I couldn't quite picture life with her, now I can't imagine life without her. She's brought such a sweet spirit into our home. I'm glad she's finally here!
