As I try to catch up on this blog I have a hard time thinking what the previous months held for us, thankfully I can look back at pictures! Around this time, well about the month before, I found Pinterest, and will admit I have become obsessed! It is a virtual pin board and you can pin anything and everything you find to boards. I have boards, for crafts, my dream house, organization, tips and tricks. Anything you can think of and you can find it there. I have always loved crafting and enjoyed scrapbooking many years ago when Connor was first born and I was able to stay at home, but to be honest there isn't enough time now. Along with not having enough time its also the hassle of pulling everything out and having to clean up. I think if I had a designated space it would make it simpler. As for now I don’t and that has gone on the back burner. Back to Pinterest I have found so many craft ideas and DIY, and have started several projects. One of them being this yarn wreath with felt flowers pictured below.
I love the fall time, the colors, the cooler weather and of course Football. I was able to get to one USC game this year. I had fun, and can’t wait until next year when I am able to take Con to his first one. He will be 5 and I think that will be a perfect time to start taking him. He loved football and this past weekend bowl games were on and he chose to watch football over cartoons!
At the football game I also had to lug this pretty (sense the sarcasm) little boot around.
I originally did something to my ankle the previous Oct. (2010). I was told it was a torn ligament or maybe a tendon and over time it would get better. In my case it kept getting worse and got to the point I was no longer able to wear heels, I could only wear flat shoes, because it hurt so bad. The week of my sisters wedding I went back to the Dr. and he recommended me wearing a boot for 6 weeks and we would go from there. Come Nov. I knew the boot wasn’t helping and requested for his to go ahead and order the MRI as we previously discussed. The MRI ended up showing that I was born with a small accessory bone and of course my luck it had broken off, so it was kind of just in there not attached to anything just hanging out. Of course he said surgery which I knew was coming. I decided the best time would be to schedule it for the end of Dec. Until then it was me and the boot.
November also brings thanksgiving. This year was no different then others we all ate way to much. We also got to meet my cousin Courtney’s boyfriend, and also my Cousin Blake’s Girlfriend Rebecca. Connor loves getting to spend time with his cousin, Coleman and although Coleman was not in a good mood Connor still played very well with him.
We also made a trip (Olivia & I) one Sunday down to Columbia to visit Michelle. Connor for a while had been asking when he was going to be able to go and spend the night with Shell again, she kept telling him after the wedding. Well the night of the wedding he literally thought he was going to get to go home with her. I had to explain it would be a couple weeks later. Connor hadn’t seen Michelle in a couple weeks and was missing her really bad and kept asking over and over when he was going to get to see her. So Michelle said he could come down, and spend the night. I meet her half way and they had a fun night together, baking cookies. We very rarely make the trip to see her because she is always coming up here, so Sunday I decided to drive down there and hang out. I took Olivia with me also so she would have something to do. It was a rainy day so we ended up going to the Children's Museum.
Other Random pictures of November.
Connor was able to build part of a sleigh when we went into Lowe’s Of course Grandma being the “handywomen” she is helped him.
Helping me bake and licking the betters. Loving his aunt Shell. In the third picture Con kept asking if he could have his own Christmas Tree for his room, and he likes Charlie Brown, so I thought the Charlie Brown Christmas tree would be perfect. It even plays the song. In the last picture this shows how funny he can be, he did all this on his own and was just hanging out watching TV!
The four of us (Mom, Shell, Connor and I) all decided to head downtown the Sat. after Thanksgiving. It was my moms idea and she usually is not able to because of her knee I knew we had to jump on the chance. It was a nice day as you see Con got to skip his Jacket for part of the day. We walked around for close to a total of 5 hours! Well we were down there a total of that time we also made sure we ate! Con wanted to have his picture taken with every statue we saw. We also walked across the Liberty Bridge, that crosses the Reedy river. No matter how many times I see that it is still always a beautiful view. Last but not least Michelle and I both cut our hair we now have bangs, and look more alike then ever!
