What a strange power there is in shoes...

This is a very random blog, but I was talking to a friend the other day about collections... I could only think of one that I really have which is collector barbies (blog for another time ha ha), but Brett would say I have two one--barbies and shoes.

For those of you who know me, you might know of my obsession for shoes. I LOVE them and shoe sells make me very happy. Yay for BOGO!! These are some of my collection... I am sure Brett feels my obsession has spilled over to our daughter as well....One of her first words was shoes, no lie. My husband is happy with his three or four pairs, which include flip flops, dress shoes--one black and one brown, and his tennis shoes, oh and his hunting boots he gets to wear one weekend a year.

On one hand, I am excited to share shoe bliss with my little girl as she grows older and learns to appreciate them, but on the other, I understand the worry my husband may feel in his wallet...

Here comes October!!

First off, thank to all those who thought my kids turned out cute with the makemebabies.com activity.... I am still laughing at that.
October has come and given us a little taste of the cold that is to come. I like that is is getting cooler around here but I am dreading the snow this year...I think it is because I am not looking forward to having to bundle Adalie up and take her out into the snow with me. I am pretty sure it will snow on Halloween and have altered her costume to act as thus. Also, there are some crazy drivers when the snow hits! sheesh! Good news though, more excuses for hot chocolate with marshmallows! Oh, and Adalie is liking her fuzzy feetie pajamas...

Photo Tagged

Here is a fun & easy photo tag. Here are the rules: just go to your picture file, open the 6th folder, and the 6th picture! Tell a story and then post it and tag 5 friends.

This is a pictures of Adalie's first bowling experience. This was right after I helped her role the ball down the lane...She was interested for about 10 seconds

I Tag Jennifer, Carrie, Laurie, Caroline, and Meg

Body Worlds

So, Brett, Adalie, Mom and I went to the body exhibit on Saturday night. For those of you who don't know what it is, it is basically human bodies skinned and on display. To put it in lame mans terms, what they do it plasticize whatever they want from the body and boil the rest away. What you see is just the insides, like the muscles or veins or blood painted a little to look more realistic. Real bodies though which was a little hard for me to grasp as the real thing because, well I don't know maybe I subconsciously think it is not actually possible to do it?? My husband was in awe the whole time and my mother was a little sick to her stomach I think. Adalie talked up a storm the whole time and I felt a little embarrassed about her being the loudest one in the museum...although do people really have to just whisper in museums, is that a rule? Anyway, I would recommend it for those that don't have weak stomachs....it was actually kind of cool.

A Day at the park!

Tuesday was such a great day!! Jennifer and Daniel came over to play with mom, Adalie, and I and brought along their kids Benjamin, Emma, and McKenzie. We got to go to the park and it was so much fun!! It was a BEAUTIFUL day!!

Fun news! Adalie had discovered how to slide down the slide all by herself.... I know it might not be a big deal to some, but I forget that she is growing up and small things like this remind me.

This is Adalie in her baby guess track suit trying to climb up the slide. You can't see it but it has a shiny cape looking thing on the back that zips up inot a hood. She kind of looks like a super hero when it isn't zipped up...

Great day to add to our memories =)

The Inevitables

The laundry will always need to be washed. The dishwasher will always be full. There will always be little finger prints on all the newly polished furniture. I will trip on toys. The floors will need to be vacuumed. My husbands ties will always be on the closet floor. There will always be one sock without a match. I will have to scrub the toilets. Give baby a bath. Pay Bills. Fix dinners. Change a diaper, and so much more. Things take a while to get cleaned and seconds to get messy. There is always something to do and never enough time to do it. But, having a husband that helps is a life saver and playing with Adalie is a little more important... For now though, some of it is actually done and it makes me feel a little better about life for the moment. Order can be a very satisfying feeling sometimes...
