An Update....

My son's room has always been a hot mess.  He has an obscene amount of toys.  And why in the world do toys come with five bazillion pieces?  Once you lose one piece, the toy is done.  In thinking of the upcoming holiday season, Joe and I decided (mostly me) that it was time to clear out the little man's toys.  Mac helped me transfer all of his toys to my bedroom.  SO MUCH.

While Mac was taking a crazy long nap (almost 4 hours!), Joe and I sorted out his toys.  We have 2 giant black bags to be donated and 1 giant black bag that went in the trash.  Once we weeded out his toys, we began the process of organizing them.  We also took the legs off of his train table so that it may be stored under his bed.  Once we were done organizing, I took off to Target to get a cube storage unit.  We used to have another one but it was entirely too large.  I found a Threshold one that was perfect.  Espresso colored.  3 cubes long and 2 cubes high.  Perfect size.  Plus I had a coupon.  Score!  Joe put it together after dinner and then Mac and I hauled everything back in there.  His room now looks larger and is actually clean!

(Please excuse the poor quality of the pictures.  I took them with my phone and a couple of the lights are out)

Carving Pumpkins

This past weekend we "decorated" and carved some pumpkins.  Mac and Nora had teeny tiny pumpkins that Mac decorated.  I painted my pumpkin.  Joe carved his pumpkin with the help from Mac.  We all had a great time!

Nora @ 4 Months

Big girl is 4 months old!  She had her doctor's appointment last Wednesday.  She weighs in at 15 pounds 8 ounces.  She is 24 inches long.  She also got another round of shots which she took like the champ she is!

What we know about a 4 month old Nora:

-She has discovered her voice even more and makes more sounds.
-She giggles a lot

-She likes the lights on her bouncer
-She will rotate her entire body around to try to see Mac
-She can spot us from the other side of the room
-Her favorite toy at the moment is this lion thing that hangs on her floor gym.
-She sucks her thumb
-She eats her hands or any of our body parts she can fit in her mouth
-She still fits in 3 month clothes
-She likes to be sitting up so she can see
-When she decides she is hungry, she needs to be fed IMMEDIATELY.
-She still eats 4 ounces at a time but we are probably going to be bumping her to 6 ounces soon
-She likes to grab on to things
-She is not sure she likes the carseat cover that keeps her warm
-Socks do not stay on her feet for very long
-She sounds like a pterodactyl
-She real bad wants to roll over on a regular basis
-She likes to try to roll from her back to her belly (She hasn't figured out to move her arm)

-She still likes the same pacifiers

Cash Family Weekend

I took Nyquil.  Yep.  Doing a blog post on Nyquil.  This post may or may not make sense.  I may or may not even type words describing the pictures.  Still hacking my lungs up.  Awesome.

What a day

Seriously.  I am SERIOUSLY glad that today is over.  One of my students literally told me that "Cash, when you are made you are like a teeny tiny chihuahua Hulk."  I thought it was hilarious and probably quite true.  Keep in mind that I primarily teach boys.  Rather large boys.  However, I did end my day on a better note.  I made my door wreath with my work friend Emily.  Aka I stayed in her classroom after school to make it.  Emily is a life skills teacher so there is all sorts of cool stuff in her room!

I came home to a Pinterest fail. I found this really delicious looking slow cooker recipe.  It is totally something that should be made during the weekend when we are actually around to follow directions....like stirring and only 4 hours and adding noodles in at the end.  Those are probably key things for this dish to be successful.  Needless to say, we had Subway for dinner.

Tonight was Mac's night back to soccer.  I stayed at home with the Chunk since we are both feeling under the weather.  Sometimes I look at Nora and worry that I have passed on my terrible disease to her.  I guess only time will tell.  No point in worrying about it now.  Anywho.  After some seriously playing, Nora crashed.  I love a sleeping baby's mouth.  Soooo cute.  Ignore the crustiness around her nose.  We have the cooties.

Oh and check out this seriously adorable (and squishy) Nora at Mrs. Erica's this morning!  Erica's dad, known as Papa, comes over every morning to get his Nora snuggles!  Soooo cute!
