Today I watched Aydann and Jaxon for a little bit while mom wanted some "me" time. I was just finishing up baking cookies for the church and sat him down on the counter. Being a curious lad, he reached over and stole a cookie. Who was I to take it away? Isn't that what Aunties are for, spoil them, dope them up on sugar then send them home? He tore in to it pretty good, not much was left when he got done with it.
Tonight I ventured out to the glorious Wal-Mart. To my surprise it wasn't busy. I know, how weird. But in my wanderings Eric happen to stumble upon some old friends of ours. Lindsey and James McDougall. Their son, Wyatt has grow quiet handsomely, looks just like his daddy, which I won't deny that James is good looking. And I finally got to meet their newest edition, Miley. She looks just like her daddy as well, but has her mama's beautiful smile. We ended up talking for about a half an hour right in the middle aisle. Trent and Wyatt played in the clothing racks running a muck, just enough not to cause any damage. It was nice catching up. Hopefully we can get together before they leave town again.
Yesterday, just like every Sunday, was FOOTBALL day. It's the one day that I have control of the TV. We started the morning off with the 49er playing the Cowboys. As you can tell my son is a die hard fan of the 9ers. But just like in recent years past, the 9ers did not prevail at all yesterday. 
When the 49ers were only down by a touch down, he ran downstairs and got all his garb on. He begged me to get the Halloween makeup out and do the black thingy under the eyes. In hopes that his superstition would work, I did. Needless to say it only got worse from there on out. The whiners (49ers) lost. He was a heart broken kid.
After that game got over, we watched the Seahawks play up against the Redskins. Seattle pulled their heads out long enough just to have Hasslebeck shove it right back in. To add insult to injury, last minute and 24 seconds, the Seachickens lost it. Poor kid, none of his teams won. He went hunting with his daddy again for the week, but his next favorite team in the league is the N.O. Saints. He would be proud to know that tonight the Saints kicked Green Bays rear ends. It was a hell of a game. To bad he missed out on that one. I miss the little turkey.

I have been trying to make things this year for Christmas. I'm fairly new in starting my adventure in scrap booking, so I thought I give some advent trees a whirl. I am keeping the red and green stripped one, and (not sure to who) the blue and white one will be a present. 
The flash on the camera kind of drowned out the detail on the white one, and you can't really see the lettering on the stripped one. I think they are super cute. I'm proud of my uncrafty self.
Now that I have two projects down, a handful more to go. Good thing I have a special friend who has a scrap booking room, and I can leave all my "stuff" there until I get it all done. I just hope I don't follow the "REEL" tradition, and finish all my presents after Christmas.
Tonight I got told I have a communicable disease, one of which I'm not sure has a cure. And I'm not really sure it has a proper name either. Maybe you might know, here's the symptoms: care too much, feel like you have to help, even if you don't have the means, take on guilt, sleeplessness, worry about someone elses problems, taking on other family member's problems, heartburn, frustration, pissyness...Amanda what else am I missing? I think I contracted it from you, but you said you were cured... what's you penicillin? I'm still stewing over a phone call I received at work today, and really there isn't a damn thing I can do about it. Arrrrrr......
So Today is Eric's 28th birthday. Or as he likes to call it the day he crawled out from under a rock. He's not much of a birthday person, so last night I made a simple dinner and a cake for him. I got him a pair of gold hoop earrings, even though he only needs one. 
He was trying to head out the door when I was taking these pictures. I was leaving for work and he was going to hunting camp for the week.
Yep that means that I'm along again. But I wished him a happy birthday and that was that. Off to the mountains he went, I'll see him some time at the end of this week.
