It's So Hard Being Special

Jace was born with a "key hole" pupil. This just means that one of his pupils didn't form completely before he was born. It doesn't affect his vision at all, things are just a little bright because it doesn't dilate completely. Anyway I caught him looking in the mirror last week, just looking at one eye and then the other. Then he told me, "Mom, one of my eyes is a circle and the other is a triangle."
I said, "Oh really- what do mine look like?"
He looked at my eyes and said, "You have two circles. Why do I have one circle and one triangle?"
I said, "You must be special and that's how Heavenly Father made you."
Final words. "I guess you're not special then, huh Mom."

I guess not.

That's a Boy for Ya!!

Jace is sporting a nasty bruise on his forehead after taking a fall last week. He tried getting the mail off of the hood of my car (after I had told him no) by stepping on Jenna's "car." Well long story short, the car went flying out from under him and he took a header right onto the concrete. He had an instant goose egg and bruise. I think he may have even received a concussion because he said he just wanted to sleep afterward. No worries, we kept him awake and he is doing just fine. So now instead of black and blue, the bruise is that pretty yellow color. The pictures don't do it justice.

Busy as a Crafting Bee

Just a glimpse of what I have been up to the last couple of months. My mom, sisters and I have a booth and are vendors at an upcoming Craft Fair this Saturday. It will be in Evanston, WY and we just hope to make some good Christmas moola$$. I would appreciate some feedback on my items. What would you most likely buy, how much would you pay, how would you do something differently, etc. I also need to give credit to others for some of the ideas-- Collette, Chris, Sandy- thanks you guys. So if your in the general vicinity of Evanston on Saturday, come on buy.........err by.

Halloween 2009

Here is a glimpse of what our Halloween was all about. Lucky for us, Daddy was able to come home and spend it with us.

We carve pumpkins a little too early and they didn't make it until Halloween. So here is our replacement. We hurried and got him painted and assembled then we stuck a flashlight in him covered with orange paper and he worked great.

Reaping the trick-or-treating rewards.

Neighbor's house. She was dressed up the Twister game. So cute.

Our scary skeleton. Or as Jace called himself "A costume with bones."

Our pretty ballerina, or princess, or fairy. Whatever she was, she pulled it off.
