Random Thoughts...and Some Funnies!

Henry had to take a pumpkin to school this week. I wasn't sure what size to get, so I asked him what size pumpkins some of the other kids had brought. I held my hands out and showed him the size of a small decorative pumpkin. He looked at my hands and said, "No, not a baby pumpkin. More like a brother pumpkin." How cute is that!?!

I had to pry whats left of this crayon out of Eli's hands and mouth this morning. Apparently red crayons are pretty tasty, because he didn't give it to me without a fight! And I'm pretty sure that this is not all of the crayon....I'm thinking he either ate it or hid it away for a snack for later?!? *************************
I have been in a little bit of a funk lately. I don't know if it's the weather or just because I don't feel good. I haven't taken any pictures {other than the one of Eli's half eaten crayon} in almost two weeks. I know....how sad is that! And it's not like we have been sitting at home either. We have been doing all kinds of stuff and I have no photographic evidence of it!
*************************
ANTS! We have ants in our house...and we don't know where they are coming from. They have been in the living room {a trail of them were going up the couch to eat all the crumbs that were hiding under the cushions} and in Eli's room. Eli has gotten up two mornings this week with ant bites on his face. Poor baby is being attacked at night I guess?!?

All three boys got haircuts yesterday. And I think I came home with at least half of what she cut stuck to my clothes because Eli decided that instead of sitting nicely in the chair, he was going to flop around like a fish out of water. FUN TIMES.

I made the boys some SUPER cute shirts for Halloween this week. I used the fabric that I posted about last week for Heidi's Monthly Craft Challenge. I have a few more things that I want to do with the fabric...I just have to find the time {and energy} to work on them! The boys are wearing their shirts to the elementary school fall festival today...so hopefully I will have some pics to share of their SUPER cute shirts.
************************

The fall weather is finally here...at least for now anyway. The lows are supposed to be in 40's this weekend and I am SO excited that it is finally starting to feel like fall instead of an endless summer of unbearable heat!

*************************

I guess that is all the randomness that I have for now. We will be fall festivaling {yeah I just made that a verb} and at the soccer fields for most of the weekend! I hope everyone has a SUPER weekend!

Vent

Do you ever just feel like venting?

Something little happens...but still bothers you....and the more you think about it the more it makes you mad.

When that happens {I assume I'm not the only one who does this!} do you vent just to make yourself feel better?!?

I do.

If I ever get upset at something that Jason has done, I know I can call my friend Mandy and say how stupid he is being...and then I feel better.

If the kids are driving me crazy, I know I can talk to Jason about it and cry on his shoulder about how bad my day has been...and then I feel better.

I probably don't mean half of what I said...but it feels better to talk out my feelings and get all that junk out of my head.

Well, I have learned a valuable lesson in the past two days.

Be careful who you vent to!

Everybody must not understand the whole venting thing and how you say a bunch of stuff but probably should have only said half of it.

Sometimes the only way to talk yourself down from a ledge is to vent.

See, now I feel better.

This has officially been my vent about venting.

What do you think....do you need to vent about something?
