ZOMG!

We're traveling this weekend, and our flight leaves at 6:10am tomorrow. Which means that we have to leave the house, at the latest, at 5am. It's 8:15pm now, and we've just started to pack. And there is still laundry being done. And Gavin isn't in bed, yet.

I don't think that I'm going to get any sleep tonight.

Dear Self, please work out your procrastination/possible ADD issues. You're stressing me out.

November Desktop

So, whenever I open Photoshop, it crashes within a few minutes. Not cool for a digi-scrapper/photo editor! Luckily, I could upload to Flickr and use Picnik to make this month's wallpaper.

This photo was taken at a playground today. Gavin was riding the teeter-totter with one of his buddies.

Super Excited

So, once you have a kid, the things you get excited over change direction a bit. Things you would have thought totally lame before are suddenly fun. For example:

Matching family pajamas.

I bought these last year from Gymboree for an outrageous amount of money. I thought that we would never wear them again, but I was just looking at the Gymbo website and they have the same style again this year! Last year, Gavin had the two piece set, but I think we need the footies this time.

My sister is going to be with us for Christmas this year. So, do I buy her a pair, too? :)

Post-Bath Smiles

It's hard to get a picture of us together looking at the camera, so it was a surprise that I got this one!

My husband, Levi, is traveling for work, so his normal bath-time duties fell to me tonight. While it isn't a terribly difficult mom-duty, it's not one that I really (usually) enjoy. Honestly, I skip it a night or two when Levi's out of town and Gavin hasn't done anything too messy.

When Levi's home, this is my quiet time to read a bit, watch a few minutes of non-baby friendly tv, and just veg out. Gavin's been having an off and on fear of the shower, too, so you never know if it's going to be a total tear fest, or if he's going to want to stay in until he's a prune.

Tonight was a good night, though. We checked out, lined up, and tossed around all of his rubber ducks. And there was a whole lot of coloring on the tub and shower walls. :)

Dancing

I was playing music on my computer and a Cheap Trick's "How Are You?" came on. Gavin started spinning and dancing. I swear there was only juice and water in that sippy bottle!

Here's some more spinning:

National Blog Posting Month

So, I decided to sign up for National Blog Posting Month. This should be interesting since I never seem to find the time or, let's be honest, the focus to sit down and write. Committing to 30 days in a row will be a challenge. We're traveling this weekend, too, so that will throw a whole 'nother wrench into things! Hopefully, I'll be able to figure out how to blog through my phone because I don't know if my husband is planning to bring his laptop, or how good the internet access at the hotel will be.

I'm crazy, I think.
