It's been awhile, I know.

Life has been crazy around here lately. With school, work, taking care of Carver and everything else it's been hard to have time to sit down and blog. But here I am, sitting down and blogging. So one of the things we have done is, we went to the zoo! Carver was actually really undecided about it. He loved the otters! And I have to admit, so did I! But the one he loved the most, was the goats. After I forced him to touch them that is. 








Don't worry, ill try harder to blog more.

sorry.

One of THOSE days....

Lets start with the beginning of our day. I had gotten up, fed my skoonkums, and the decided it was time for me to eat breakfast. Carver seeing that I had food (and how dare I have food and not share with HIM) immediately crawled over to the table and tried to climb up my chair. Which he did, at least half way then fell and smacked his face off of the edge of one of the other chairs. And bit his lip. Giving me a slight heart attack. Because you know that one scream your kid has? The one that means there is something very very VERY serious happening to them and they are NOT kidding around? He screamed that scream. I about peed my pants. So I scooped him up, Sat him on the counter and instantly saw the blood gushing from his mouth. If you have ever met my son, you will know this is not the first and wont be the last head wound he has and will have. I started to soothe him and got a rag and tried to stop the bleeding, but by this point he had worked himself up so much, and swallowed so much blood, he vomited all over me. F U N. SO he then got an emergency bath in the sink, which he loved. (no stitches were needed by the way)





Oh and then, just wait, then he decided that he needed to take ANOTHER bath. Really, he did. My foster sister (we cant take pics of them and post them everywhere, sorry!) Was getting her bath and Grandma walked away for TWO seconds and he was in the bathroom, over the edge of the tub, and splashing happily by the time she had turned around. And yes, he really is that fast. The kids got speed my friends, the kids got speed.




And by this point, it was only 10AM. TEN AM. I don't even want to know what else is to come. I'm already counting the minutes to nap time.

But to cheer us all up (and by us I mean ME) Here are some super cute pics of my chipmunk. They make me giggle EVERY stinkin time.





Oh man, no matter what, I will always love my little boy.

And life goes on

I have no pictures to post today, But I do have much to tell. I'm in my third week at EVIT for Cosmetology and I LOVE it! We are learning perms right now, and even though I think there is no use for them, I'm actually really enjoying them! Carver is walking more and more on his own, but he does still crawl about 60% of the time, but he is getting there. I'm getting better and better at keeping a positive attitude towards my future, I'm even kinda just a little bit coming to terms with my "relationship status" but am by no means at all ready for anything more than friendship with anyone, I don't care if its Brad Pitt knockin at my door! I have been more social and am starting to go out with my friend Amie and hanging out with our old group of friends, and that is always something I look forward too. And my job is awesome! It works so perfect for my schedule and still leaves me plenty of time to spend with my pumpkin face, Carver. It's just crazy (in a good way) how all these aspects of my life are just fitting together like a puzzle, and everything is just working out for the best for me and Carver. And I'm going to work my hardest to keep it that way!


So  I hope this satisfies a few of you, don't give up on my blog. I'm just waiting for some ideal pic moments to pop up.

Much love,
