Friday Phone Dump

Wow...we're starting back in September with these phone pics! 

just hanging out in my driveway on a recliner. 

can you see jed? he's carrying a poster that's almost bigger than him.  we can't even be sure if he's wearing clothes or not. 

'weepin'

Our church celebrated the end of a 3-year campaign to "Double Your Impact" to help our church, our city, and people around the world.  We ALL gathered in the atrium to end the service.

Jed fell asleep at Jordan & Vivian's new studio

Me: "Wanna take a bath?"  Jed runs to the bathtub in his pj's.

I put a backpack on Jed's Christmas list because, although this purple girly Dora one is cool, he'd like one to wear around in public. 

i usually hate the onset of fall, but I did appreciate this view.

At the MOPS Ladies' Night Out

Got the mixer and backpack.  Ready to go!

We always have the coolest tree on the block.  It turns colors before any of our neighbors' trees do.

playing with Grandma's "bag of tricks" that Grandpa brought when he came to Omaha for the day.

Grandpa was making silly faces and Jed was cracking up!

BEFORE PIC! (don't mind the baby handprints on the mirror) I had these wide-leg gray dress pants that I literally haven't worn since before I was pregnant, and didn't really want to wear them ever again.  But a friend of mine posted on Facebook that she changed her pants to skinny pants really easily! So, with the help of Kerri on my first pair, I transformed my pants!

So I had a few mishaps while sewing.  But I pulled it together eventually!

TA DA!!!

BEFORE and AFTER

Thanks for the window clings, grandma!

He wanted to nap with his hat on

TA DA!! Stupid dress pants transformation #2!! Now I have black skinnies and I'm in love. 

On Monday it flurried a little. Shawn texted me to say that I could sing "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" on the first snow.  And Kerri said that I could get coffee.  So I used my free Scooters drink card and indulged, and watched Ellen while I drank it and Jed napped on the couch.  It was awesome.  And it made me want Christmas to be here!

I texted this to Ryan to remind him that he used to ALWAYS wear his socks like this. Gross. Haha.

Hmm...who's kid is this? Playing with the talking Simpsons car. 

Our fiasco from Wednesday.  I was in the kitchen cleaning and heard Jed crying. He got his head stuck in the railings.  After several unsuccessful attempts to get him out, I took a picture of him.  Ha.  Don't worry.  I called DJ first, and then I put on a movie for the trapped young one.  And then I took a picture.  

Then I started noticing his eyes getting heavy. 

AND HE FELL ASLEEP!

Then DJ came home and saved the day without having to cut the railings.   Whew! We're getting to be old pros at this kid-gets-their-head-stuck-in-the-railings thing.
