There's No Place Like Roam

While the family was in town Diana, Heather, Jackie and I decided to go to Sips N Strokes in Trussville, AL. They were doing a Holiday Wreath that we all liked. Well, this was not one of my best, but it was definitely a blast! I think everyone had a great time. I can't wait to go back!

Carter had his 7th birthday party today. Jason's sister Heidi and all her family were in Alabama for Thanksgiving, so they were all able to attend his party at Party Central. We all had a great time! Click here to view these pictures larger

It-za Luigi!! Poor Toad just wouldn't keep his Toadstool cap on! Graham and I also went to the nursing home in Oxford with a group from our church. Everyone loved his smiling face, the cute lion costume didn't hurt either!

Over the past 3 months I've lost the cord to download the pics....lost the camera twice and now I've let the battery die, with the charger left at work. GEEZ! Luckily, I've had friends/family in the right places, at the right time to take some pictures. Above you will find the pictures of my family that were on Jackie's camera from the past few months. Thank goodness she let me borrow it for our yearly trip to the Pumpkin Patch at Old Baker Farm . We decided to celebrate Graham's birthday there with some free cupcakes given to us from Winn Dixie just for Grahams 1st Birthday. Oh, the benefits of spending too much for diapers for the past year.....a 6.99 batch of cupcakes. :-)

In a never-ending attempt to become more efficient I have decided to start a Shutterfly photo page . So now as I bore the world with the day-to-day of our lives, I will upload my pictures to Shutterfly (which will protect them in a place other than my computer), select the ones I would like to share on my photo page and with one click post them to the blog, where I hope to keep a journal about the photos.

Weekday mornings around my house are pretty hectic. When the boys stay in bed too long in the morning, I make them get into the shower together to save time. They don't like it at all...and constantly fight over who is getting more of the hot water. Carter is usually quite the crab in the morning. So, I was surprised when I heard him cheerfully ask Hunter if he wanted to "play fire". I didn't know what they were up to, so I started eavesdropping. Carter: Hey Hunter, do you want to play fire??? Hunter: ummmm, YEAH!!!! We can hold our hands up to the "fire"!!! Carter: YEAH!!!! {Silence for about a minute} Hunter: Hey Carter, why are you under ALL the water??? (I assume he was standing there freezing, holding his hands to the water.) Carter: I'm the firewood. Needless to say, I had to break up the fight that ensued. :-)

My friend let us borrow this costume and Graham didn't mind wearing it one bit. We all had to snuggle with him....he was just too cuddly!
