All over the place

This post is definitely going to be all over the place. Just a warning.

First of all, Amie requested that I post a profile pic of me at this stage in my pregnancy. Ummm, sorry, but you must be out of your mind!! I try to avoid the camera at all costs during pregnancy so there is no way I am turning to the side and getting a picture. Not to mention that my "baby bump" is not very big...the weight has just evenly distributed itself all over me...mainly my rear.

Speaking of weight, I went to a jewelry party last week and found out that bigger earrings take 10 pounds off of your face. Why hasn't anyone told me this before? Needless to say I got out my big hoops.

After his brother spilled a drink in the living room, Ethan decided he would post a list of rules for our house on the fridge. I had to take a picture because he cracks me up.

In case you can't read the 5 year old writing here they are:

1. NEVER (I love his use of all caps) put drinks in the living room

2. NEVER touch the oven when it's hot

3. Clean up your mess

4. Listen to your Mom and Dad

5. Never call people names

Let me just say that these have come in handy!! I don't know how many times I have said to him..."You're not obeying rule #4" or "Reece, don't forget about rule #1" I did call Reece a monkey on the way home from church yesterday and Reece called me out on rule #5. Funny stuff.

Three of my good friends gave me a shower the other night for some friends, family and co-workers. It was a great time and I had fun opening ALL GIRLY STUFF!! I got a little outfit that has a pink vest with fur on the collar with cords and boots. It's so cute I'm wondering if Old Navy sells a matching outfit for Mommy. Kind of like those nightgowns we used to get when we were kids that had a little matching one for your doll. Here's a picture of the table and the CUTE cake that my mom made. It tasted equally as good as it looks. I posted the side picture because I wanted to show off that there was a little baby in the bassinet. I got a lot of other great pics of everyone that came, too! I don't know the blog etiquette on posting picture of people without their permission so just imagine the good group that was there. It was a great time.

I will leave you with this last random moment I had on Sunday. As I was finished checking out with my groceries the checker said "Do you have your Kroger Plus Card, ma'am?" I NEVER release my card until the end of the purchase no matter how many times they ask while I am unloading. One reason is, can't they see that I have enough going on with my groceries, coupons, and usually my 2 year old to stop everything and dig for my Kroger card? It can wait. The second reason is that I like to watch the total go down down down all at the end. I gave him my card and then I said "Oh, I have some coupons, too!" I handed him my stack of coupons. When I say stack I DO mean stack. I am becoming quite the pro I must say. He said "Oh wow, (not excitedly) you DO have a lot of coupons." I just smiled. Then he said "WELL, we'll just have to see if they all work." WHAT!!??!? Does he not know who he was dealing with? Does he think that I am going to take the time to cut all of those coupons and buy the products to go with them to hand him a stack that doesn't work? I had a stinking folder with me for crying out loud. I wanted to just push him out of the way and scan the coupons myself but I just politely said "Oh, I know they will all work." Teenagers.
