Balloons

Carter is scared of helium balloons. Robert's Craft store offers balloons to all the small children that come into their store. We got one a few months ago and he did not want it tied to him. He let go of it in the store no big deal I was able to get it. When we got home he let go of it in our entry way and I couldn't reach it. I told him we would wait until Dad came home and he could get it for him. Once he got it again he wouldn't trust anyone with it and was so scared that it would get stuck on the ceiling again. It was ridiculous. He was crying and refused to let go of it to eat or anything. We ended up just sticking it in a bedroom during dinner and didn't give it back to him. Anyways so a few weeks ago we were at Robert's again and I thought maybe we could try to get another balloon but I guess he remembered how stressful balloons are and started saying No over and over again. We quickly gave the balloon back to the nice lady.

What silly things are your kids scared of?

baby presents

I made this for my unborn child. It was very hard. and it is very much not perfect.

I got the idea from a friend except I have a 5 point car seat and wanted something that i can remove and wash without taking a part my difficult to put together carseat. So i went and drew some ideas and than I had the brilliant idea to look up car seat blankets on etsy and i found this one and this one. Anyway I also happen to open my mouth at church and a lady told me she has one that I could use as a pattern. Anyways again mine is not perfect (one legs is longer than the other and the hood.. eeekk and I think it's a little on the huge side..) but I made it for my baby so I am hoping he doesn't complain about it too much. :)

This is what I finished creating today.

Bloated Fish Phase.

I feel like I have reached the bloated fish phase of pregnancy. And according to my ticker I still have too much time to already be here; at this place of being too big. 6 weeks and 3 days until December 31. I am hoping for December 18 I don't know the day just sounds right.

Swimming

I really miss swimming.. That is one of my favorite things about the south, having heat and water! Too bad we don't live there yet. Ryan took us swimming a few weeks ago (I think it is high time we went again). We had a lot of fun. Lucky up here in South East Idaho there are a few hot springs that make swimming outside a possibility in our cold climate.
