movie night

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

We had a movie night the other night, and it took Shiloh forever to figure out where she wanted to get comfy with her princess pillow. This is where she finally settled.

pralines!

Saturday, October 10, 2009

I have really wanted a praline or two for the last week! I told my Mom that I couldn't find any up here, and she told William, her husband. Well, guess what he bought me, and she sent?! Ahhhh....I feel better now.

28 weeks!

28 weeks is a big deal, because it also means that I am now in the third trimester! Can you believe it?! Not much longer at all....

mummy pizzas

Tuesday, October 6, 2009

We got in the spirit of the season and made some mummy pizzas for dinner tonight! It was super easy (even Shiloh made her own) and lots of fun!


Hard at work




The finished product!


But the proof is in how it tastes!




They were a hit! The kids enjoyed them with fizzies from Grandma....I guess she and Aunt Cherri use to enjoy fizzies in their drinks when they were kids!


I like Halloween!!

it's october! black cats and pumpkins

Monday, October 5, 2009

Several weeks ago, I got a text from my friend Dawn, asking if we wanted a kitten. Of course, we don't NEED a kitten, but the poor thing was so teeny and pitiful. So, being the suckers that we are for all things small and fuzzy, we went and picked her up. She didn't weigh anywhere close to a pound, still had milky blue eyes, slept all the time, had scraggly dull fur, and fit in the palm of my hand.


I hadn't really made up my mind, keep her, or find her a home. She seemed to be doing okay, until 6 days later. I went to get her because she had been sleeping more then normal, and I found her pretty much in a coma....she was hypothermic, I thought she was dead. I couldn't tell if she was breathing. I called Tyrone, he raced home from work, and we took her to the vet. She was still alive, but barely. She got IV fluids, spent the night in the incubator, and had lots of tests.

It turns out that she was probably only about 3 weeks old and weighed only 14oz at that point, and although she had been eating cat food, it just wasn't enough for a baby needing to nurse, although we could not convince her to drink kitten formula out of a bottle. She was put on a special diet (exhausting! lol) and was able to come home. She is now fiesty (read, kinda bad, lol) and has grown alot. Her eyes are not blue anymore, she's approaching 2lbs, and her fur is shiny. She's a fighter, for sure! Here is Rio now, you'd never know she was about 10 minutes away from death a month ago! And, what better time for black cats then around Halloween?! :)



And, speaking of Halloween, we already have a pumpkin, because sweet Shiloh talked her Daddy into buying her one during our recent Wal-Mart trip.


Sorry I haven't been updating as much as normal, but I will do better! I kept forgetting to get batteries for my camera, but we have fixed that, so more posts will be on the way!
