The Christmas Spirit? Because I cant seem to get into a holiday mood. Even with funny pictures like this. I dont know if its because the weather is warm (it was 73 today), or because I'm worried about making sure everyone gets presents....we're a little short on money this year seeing I've not worked since August. Even with my new job, I'm only going to get 2 little paychecks before Christmas...it sucks. I know Christmas isn't about gifts, but I love to give them. I love watching everyone open presents, and seeing the look of suprise on their faces. Its the best part to me. I'm not use to being so broke this time of year. I know next year things will be better, but right now...they just seem blah, making me want to say "Bah Humbug" Everything is happening so fast, Scott's company Christmas party is this weekend on the 2nd. Then Tanner's bday party in on the 16th, and then his birthday is the 22nd and that also happens to be the day we're going to spend Christmas with my family...we get back on the 24 and have Christmas here. Oh my. Just lots and lots going on. I wish the Holiday Spirit would just slap me in the face...maybe Sat, when we put up the tree. Who knows. I'm off to study some more. I have a test tomorrow. My wonderful husband came home early from work tonight, and he's helping me study. He's just too awesome for words.
I was asleep when this was taken today, but he looks like the baby Incredible Hulk. Scott had given him a sucker, and Tanner decided to color with a green crayon, so from what I gather the slobber and the green from the crayon didnt mix, and this is the end result. Scott thought it was funny and let him do it, and he was all clean by the time I woke up. Its pretty cute. But then again I always think he's cute.
So we are still in North Carolina. Yep, my wonderful husband said we could stay the extra day so I could spend more time with my folks. I was bummed earlier that we were leaving and he said as long as we leave early we could stay. Yea!! I've gotten alot done. I've gotten most of a big project for school done, I've gotten all my Christmas labels made, I got our picture for our Christmas cards made...I'm on a roll. Tanner has been having so much fun being around his "Nani" and "PaPa" and of course his Auntie Kristi, he got upset when she had to go to bed (she works 3rd shift). As you can see he is in to everything, he found my dad's reading glasses, and put them on, we couldn't resist taking a picture. I've taken like 100 pics in the past 2 days. We went to visit my cousin and here son, Logan. He is 14 months old. He's my cousin which makes him Tanners cousin too. Tanner wanted to play so bad, but Logan wasn't sure about him. Tanner gave him love, and made sure he shared the toys.
Sorry that the pics arent cropped and cleaned up, I'm using my dad's computer, and he has so many programs that I'm not even attempting to find one. But the next ones I post will be cropped and pretty. Well I'm off to watch a movie with my family. We'll be back in Ga tomorrow morning, and back to the normal hussle and bussle of our lives.
One more month...thats all I have, and my baby is 2!! I cant believe it. I swear it seems like I just posted about him being 22 months old. Its just flown by. And he has learned so much in the past month...his vocabulary has really taken off. Besides saying "What?" when I call, he can now say "Your Welcome." When he wants something to eat he says "Please some?" and points. He starting to say "Please one" I cant complain that he's not polite. He can say thank you. He's just gotten so big so quick. We decided today to put him in daycare come Jan. Just 3 days a week, just do he'll get some interaction with children. He wont go to the one I work at, I'm going to put him in the one my mother in law works at, its a little cheaper, and she can work with him, where as if he comes to the one I'm at, I'll have to go to another room. SOOOO....well thats it, I'm just a little sad that his birthday is creeping up on us so fast. I mean I bet if I blink 3 times it will be here...so now I'm going to get toothpicks to hold my eyes open so I dont miss anything.
Check him out chowing down on a peanut butter sandwhich. He makes a mess not matter what. I had a pretty good day , I got an A on my test. (YaY me)!! Now I have a ton of work to do for next week. Homework, a project on nutrition. No fun. There isnt much to report... maybe later.
So I woke up dead tired for some reason, (I am normally a morning person). I had a hard time concentrating in school today. I go to my job interview, and it turns out that its not really an interview but a training day. I start work tomorrow. I come home expecting Scott to be happy and he's not. He was prett upset. So that made everything worse. Scott and I dont fight, so when one of gets upset it makes it harder on me...He finally said he wasnt mad, just selfish. Because he's been so use to me being home and being able to see me everyday. While I'm working we wont see each other Mon-Thrus. I get up and go to school...Scott's in bed, from school I go straight to work. I get off between 430 &530, and Scott will already be at work. He doesnt get home until 130am, and I'm already asleep...and it starts over. So we will only see each other in our sleep. I'm not too happy about not seeing him either. I love spending all this time with Scott, but we need money for Christmas, I told him I will quit after Christmas if he wants me to...I just want to make sure we can afford Christmas...I dont know. I'm still tired, and I've been coughing...I have homework, and dishes to do and all I want to do is sit in my recliener and watch tv....sighs.
Not too much going on today, been a bit lazy. I did get all my homework done before Scott went to work. Tanner and I , and of course Charlie took a nap. Tanner and Charlie are still sleep. I probably should go get him up, so he'll sleep tonight. I have to get up early to go get my midterm grades and make sure my schedule doesn't change this 6 weeks. I hope not, I love getting out of school at noon. It will make for getting a job easier. Hopefully I will hear about the one I applied for soon. (fingers crossed)
Tanner has been a firecracker today. Oh my. He's been getting into everything, and he's always wanting to hold Charlie...by the head, or upside down. We're trying to teach him to be easy, at least until he's bit bigger. He's been fusy today, but on the go-go-go. He took a nap, and ate. But he's still kind of cranky. I think its because he's hot. This damn weather wont make up its mind. We've got every fan in the house going. I refuse to turn the air on for 2 days. I'm not doing it I tell ya. Tanner has been sleeping in his own bed. We were working on it, but we got slack again. But for the past 2 nights he's been in his own bed until 8 or 9 o'clock. This morning I woke up at 8 and found him like this: 
Poor Charlie had a rough night. I had to show him how to drink water out of a bowl, and then he threw it up. I think he was handled too much yesterday, with us holding him and Tanner trying to carrying him around...but today he woke up and he was very playful and he drank without getting sick. So hopefully it was a one time thing. He still hasnt eaten. So in a little while we will be going to PetMart to get him some puppy formula, at least until we can teach him how to eat. My mom asked if he had teeth, he does, but I notice his bottom ones arent all the way through yet. Maybe that's why he wont eat.
This is Charlie. The newest member of our family. Isn't he adorable? He is so cute and cuddly. We got him today. Dont ask me what kind of dog he is because I will have to tell you he's a Heinz 57...a mutt. But when we saw him we couldn't resist. He and Tanner have become quick buddies. Tanner laid down for a nap and Charlie curled up right next to him. I've been wanting to get a puppy, but we weren't sure what to get, and yesterday one of the neighborhood kids knocked on the door and asked if we wanted a puppy. They brought one to the door, one of Charlie's sibblings. I wanted to get that one but I had to ask Scott first. So by the time I got ahold of him, they had given that one away, but today they brought Charlie to see us and it was love at first sight. He's so smart. We've shown him the puppy pad once, and he keeps going back. So hopefully he wont be hard to house break. He hasnt eaten anything today, or had anything to drink. We've tried, but I dont think they started them on food. He is just 6 weeks old. So I guess we will have to teach him. I also went and applied for a job today. Hopefully they will call me back soon. Well I'm off for now...its been a long day, and I have to get Charlie's basket ready for him to sleep in.... 
Well my house is quiet. Too quiet. I'm not use to Tanner not being here. But my mother in law has him so I can study. ( I had to take a break, my brain hurts). I have 3 mid terms tomorrow. I feel pretty confident that I will do good. I had one today, and I feel good about it. We will see tomorrow. I made a desicion today. Not one that I'm real happy with, but one I needed to make. I'm going to apply for a part time job on Friday. With Christmas coming we need the extra money. Scott really doesn't want me to go to work, but I told him after Christmas we'll decide if I stay. There is a daycare hiring, and they might give me 3-4 hours a day. Which is good. Just a little extra money. Because I love Christmas...and I want to make sure we have money for a nice one. So we will see how that goes. Well I'm off for some more studying, my little one should be here soon. Then it will be off to bed.
And after he takes a nap, he's pretty mellow so I decided to go check our email while he was wathcing tv. He was quiet, but I wasn't worried because he just woke up and he was drinking his milk...I wasn't worried until I started smelling something, something that smelled pretty good...now I'm worried and I run into the living room. And guess what I find, the return of POWDER BOY!! (Its hard to be mad at someone so cute!)
Needless to say there was a huge mess in my living room again. But this time my vacum decides that baby powder is too fine to get out of my carpet. Great, just great. So now I have to find a way to get baby powder out of my dark blue carpet. Any ideas? Here is my poor vacum:
Starting a little young with the plumber's crack

I was completly lazy today. I dont know what was wrong with me. But when I woke up Scott had cleaned the kitchen and fed Toot lunch. So after Scott went to work I took Tanner in the back yard and let him cut loose. He loves to be outside and I love to watch him out there. I figured I before it gets too cold he should be able to play. And of course while he was playing I took a ton of pictures. Here are a few. I couldnt pick which ones were the best so I posted a few.
I dont know what he was doing but he sure looks like he's mad. (he wasnt) but he could have fooled me.
He thought his sandbox was a slide. He kept crawling on it and going "Wheee!!" its not a big incline but he enjoyed it. I guess I need to start looking for a slide for the back yard.
Here we are, the ghostbuster, Spiderman, and The Black cat. Notice Tanner has on a mask....it was the only picture we got. 
Here is my hubby the GhostBuster...he one first prize at work for the costume contest.
This is the first house we stopped at. He was not too sure what to do, and he was tired, so he just sat down and waited for them to put the candy in the bag. It took him awhile to figure it out.
I think this is my favorite picture of the night. He was ready to go by now, he was following the big kids and telling everyone "Bye! Bye!" 
This was our last house of the night, and he decided he wanted to knock on this one...of course we rang the bell... 
This is one of Austin, Kayla, Dalton (notice the bandage) and Tanner. He had a good ol' time with these 3. All in all, Halloween was great. The weather was awesome and once Tanner got into the swing of things, he was on the go. We were bummed that Scott had to work. Maybe next year. Since he is already think of our costumes....hope everyone had a great time.
