November in a nutshell

We went to the Arizona Science Center.  The boys loved donning real lab coats, goggles and gloves to dig bone marrow out of cow bones…

Those lab coats were not designed for maternity wear.

 

About this time we decided our phone cameras take the crappiest pictures ever.

Case in point:

 

I finished sewing my new pillows!

They normally look like this:

 

We discovered that Boston makes the most adorable and charming Superman:

I mean, really.

He also makes a hilarious clown.

And a precious cowboy.  He rode a pony for the first time at the Fall Festival at Stephen’s school.

Stephen also enjoyed his first pony ride.

But really he is more of a pilgrim type.  He loves his new neon blue and orange shoes. 

I got to feed him dinner one night since he wouldn’t eat it otherwise…don’t we look absolutely thrilled??  Tinfoil dinner with chicken, potatoes, and carrots.  I am so mean.

 

Here is the “bad crib” I found on Craigslist.  I could go into the nasty details about it but we will suffice it to say that it was an epic Craigslist fail.  I had buyer’s remorse before we even had it loaded in the van.  Why did I get it?  I DON’T KNOW!!!  I cried for a few days about it.

 

Then two or three days after the “bad crib purchase” I got a phone call from Babies-R-Us saying that I had won a free crib and $100 gift card.  Say what?  Since I didn’t recall entering any contests was skeptical at first but after a little phone call to verify that I hadn’t been hoaxed we rushed over and picked up our lovely new prize!  Isn’t she beautiful?  Just goes to show that even when I make dumb mistakes, Heavenly Father still loves me.

 

Even with my bad use of precious money this month this lovely husband of mine never offered one critical word about it.  He is a keeper.
