20 Questions for 3 years

picture by Hannah Swain

I ran across this neat idea that I had to do and hope to keep up with. You take the same set of twenty questions (starting with age 3) and ask them near or on their birthday every year to see how their answers change (or stay) from year to year. Here is Leyton's 3 year questions and answers. There is a definite choo choo train undertone.

1. What is your favorite color? blue
2. What is your favorite toy? Thomas track
3. What is your favorite fruit? watermelon
4. What is your favorite tv show? Nemo
5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch? Mac n Cheese
6. What is your favorite outfit? my Halloween Dinosaur
7. What is your favorite game? Ping Pong
8. What is your favorite snack? Teddy Grahms
9. What is your favorite animal? Cow
10. What is your favorite song? The Thomas one
11. What is your favorite book? The Train one
12. Who is your best friend? um, Charlie (his friend from school)
13. What is your favorite cereal? Chocolate kind
14. What is your favorite thing to do outside? play
15. What is your favorite drink? Water
16. What is your favorite holiday? Christmas
17. What do you like to take to bed with you at night? my pillows and my buddies (his buddies being his stuffed animals)
18. What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast? Waffle
19. What do you want for dinner on your birthday? A cupcake
20. What do you want to be when you grow up? Just a choo choo train

Christmas Pinterest Projects

So my latest addiction (along with everyone else) is Pinterest. If you aren't on board, you should be. Or not. It really is addicting. I have made quite a few recipes from there, but these are the first two craft projects I have done. The first is this Christmas tree with rolled scrapbook paper. It was really easy, came out really cute and I was able to add my own touches to it.

The second was Cinnamon Applesauce ornaments. I think I remember doing some of these when I was little. Leyton just loved helping me with them. He has been so excited over everything to do with Christmas this year. I love that he loves to be my little helper. These were pretty easy and they smell SO good. My whole kitchen smelled like Christmas. I decided to leave some of them plain because I do like them in their 'natural state,' but I just had to add some pizzaz to the rest. After all everything is better with a little glitter. Since I don't need all of these ornaments, I'm giving most of them away in the party favor bags at Leyton's birthday party.

Ok, here is the first belly pic thus far. I figured since I was dressed up for an engagement party it was as good a time as any...

Updates and Such

Ok, Does anyone even still read this ol' blog? I doubt it, but thats ok. I will continue to use it to journal life's happenings- even though I've done a poor job these past few months. As you can see from the post below- we are expecting #2! I am due June 18th and we are very excited. Leyton is positive it is a boy that he will name "Scooter." We'll see.

This pregnancy has been slightly rougher than my first. I've had more dizziness, nausea, food aversions, and have had much worse exhaustion. Don't even get me started on the condition of my skin and hair. I am anything but glowing. My mom said "well you are older." Love it. Luckily, as I am nearing the 2nd trimester, things are getting better. I have yet to even take a "bump" picture. Isn't that awful? Oh and let me just say, it is true that you start showing sooner with #2. I'm already sporting a little bump. I had a checkup this morning and got to hear the sweet little heartbeat pumping away! It's still hard to believe.

Anyway, I will try to get better about updating this thing. Seems I skipped right over Halloween and Thanksgiving. In that case, here are a few pictures of our little dino from Halloween:

Catching up: The Great Mississippi River Balloon Race

I have been slacking lately on the old blog. I thought I would update with some pictures I took a few weeks ago from the Balloon Races in Natchez. Hopefully the next update won't take me as long to get around to!
