My Life In Pictures Sept 2010

Last Thursday, we drove to AL. Friday, we rode with Mom to TN for a family reunion. Familiar with Hallmark? I spotted Maxine walking into Walmart...perhaps she was out of cards?

Meme bought CJ a pillow pet...he's been wanting one for his birthday...which isn't until December...she told him if he could wear jockeys instead of pullups all the way to TN he could have it...he did it and is now wearing jockeys pretty much full time!!! This is where I found a pair at mom's when we were packing up to come home...HA! Seriously!

Tuesday...I started making Halloween bows...a dear friend...is having a baby girl soon...and well I can't stop making bows.

Thank goodness I have friends with girls...so Avery, Saige, Sarah Beth, Chloe, Baby Sister Rearden...you all have bows coming your way.

Today I dropped CJ off on set...I mean at preschool...yes...they really are filming FOOTLOOSE here...and next door and across the street and a few houses down.

Then I went to Walmart, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's and Michaels looking for 2 inch grosgrain...scant. I did find 1 roll of "Halloween Purple" 1.5 inch...at Hobby Lobby...who bought allllll of the purple ribbon? I have been trying to find some for weeeeeks now. And found a cute candy corn necklace at JoAnn for $1 that I cut apart to get 10 candy corns to glue on!!! Score!

Or if you don't like candy corn...

I go back to pick up son on set...I mean at preschool...and it is CRAZY!!!

Paramount Pictures bring their own catering people...they were cooking a ton of food...cause I saw it...they ask us not to take pictures...so I only snuck a few. Is there a part in FOOTLOOSE where the girl is dancing in the rain in front of the church? I saw them filming it...with the fake rain...or setting up a shot...cause they were making it fake rain. Pretty cool. I'll try to get more pics next week.

PS...where do you get the best deals on ribbon? Hobby Lobby was 50% off today...which is pretty good. Do you ever buy it online? If so please tell me where!!!

Sunday, we met my little sis and her hubbie for lunch and a Braves game...








They had skin cancer tent set up outside the stadium. I think their little awareness ribbon is so cute "See a Spot, Call your Doc"

This arrangement is going over his headboard. I'm going to hang the spaceship and make him a planet "Chupiter" to hang in the corner over his bed.

I hoisted the 40 pound dinosaur tv up there by myself...no cable for this tot...tv is just for the DVD player...

Dog Days

It's been to HOT to do much else...





And please don't laugh at C.J. ...he's in timeout!

Preschool

Well my little one took a big kid step this week...PRESCHOOL!!! He loved it...the 1st day. He cried the 2nd day...but only until I was out of sight. Yes he sang Rocky Top for his class today...and yes he assured his teacher that is not a Tennessee Fan but a major Georgia Tech Fan!

Recap: Got a lunch box to match his bookbag...

Had a "smock" fitting...which he was less than thrilled about. Are these still what they use? An old button up shirt turned backwards... This is what we used when I was little so it's probably a bit old school...oh well.

Sorry camera fogged up...

He was SO EXCITED!!!

Here we go...

He said "Look Mom, nobody hung their backpack under my name!" Heh heh heh...

I had to beg him for a hug...on the "hug rug". Snif Snif...but thats ok...Rock On Kid! Have Fun!
