Holiday Crafts

Today was craft day for Cayle and me. We made turkeys, reindeer, and Santa out of his hand prints. At first he seemed to like it but after a while all he wanted was a nap. You can't see Santas beard all that well, but hey we try. I have a lot of ideas for crafts for christmas. Like making candy cane reindeer. And Popsicle stick reindeer. Thumb print christmas mice, and ice cream cone christmas trees. Somehow. I'd like to make a countdown to christmas. I'm not sure how though. I'm so worried about juggling holidays. I thought it would work out, but now I'm not so sure. Adam's family is eating at one and my family usually eats at 2 or 3. How am I gonna do it.? I dunno. Ughh. I dont wanna disappoint anyone. I try to keep everyone happy. I guess we'll see how it all plays out. Black friday is this friday. I cannot wait to get out in all the madness. I kinda have an idea of what to get everyone but we'll see what I can find. 34 shopping days left.! I'm so ready for a break from school. and running like a mad woman. Haha. This saturday adam's sister and I are going to look at wedding dressed with our moms together. this is the first time my mom will meet any of them. Kinda crazy isn't it.? Hope it goes well.

Cayle's birthday part three.

Part three.?? Yeahh. This kid got three parties. The theme was dinosaurs and everything was in orange green and yellow. Adam's granddad even made cayle a dinosaur cake despite the fact he vowed never to do it again after his tremors got as bad as they did. The whole family was there. It felt like we fit in perfectly. Cayle got some little people, a piano, a firetruck that you sit and ride on, a puppy that lights up and talks, and so much more. It's amazing to think that they have been around him for almost a year now. His grandparents met cayle on valentine's day this year, and here we are almost Christmas and they're still here. It's wonderful. We ate pizza, cake and ice cream, and sat around and talked. I gave everyone hair cuts while I was there and they all turned out really good. Now We can focus on the holidays. I just hope juggling between families works out. I worry alot.

Hmm. :)

The holidays are just around the corner.! I think this year I wanna make handprint turkeys with cayle. It would be funn. We can give them to the family, and hang them on the fridge. Last weekend I went with Adam's sister Kayla to georgia to the carter's outlet to get Cayle some clothes. It was the first time we had ever spent time together without the family. It was soo much fun. She asked me to be a brides maid in her wedding. I've never been a brides maid before. She bought Cayle a onesie that said 'all i want for christmas is my auntie.' it was so cute.! I started my christmas shopping. I dont have much bought but I got some stuff. I got dad his favorite christmas story on Dvd. It's how the grinch stole christmas, the animated version. I thought that since he works so much he might miss it and he looks forward to seeing it every year. I bought adam some little things. Reeces pieces, green peppermints, and a shirt from rue 21. I would like to get him some cologne from there. This little butt went out and bought the thing I was going to get him for christmas. GRRRRRR. So I have to start all over with him. Lol. I'm not mad but geeezeeee. >.< Last night Christina and I took the babies out to the mall. We got some shopping done there. I was a little bad. I spent money on myself and bought some bath and body works lip gloss that I love sooooooo much. I always feel soo guilty for spending money on me. But I did manage to get Cayle some weebles for christmas. He's never played with them before, but I bet he will like them. I would like to find some little einstein dvds or something but who knows if that will go as planned.? I saw some footie pajamas I wanted to get cayle at walmart last night. They look like batmans outfit. They had a pair of toy story ones too. They were only 7 dollars so I wanna go back and get them.. Today is Cayle's birthday party from Adam's family. I can't wait. I'll post pictures later.!

Cayle's birthday part two.

Below are some pictures from his first party 10*30*10.






Cayle is having three birthday parties. How crazy right.? His first birthday party was Saturday and that party was for everyone. Tonight's party was strictly for the family. The last picture was taken tonight. This party tongiht consisted of Adam, Cayle, and me. Cayle and I woke up and the first thing I did was give him a birthday hug and kiss. After feeding him his breakfast we went downstairs and played with all his birthday toys. We shared my waffles too. After that we made a trip to walmart and got a few things. He saw a stuffed bunny (thumper) and reached for it. I got it off the shelf and gave it to him. He just hugged on it and loved on it, so I caved and got it for him. It's his birthday and I thought hey why not.? I try not to make a habit of getting him something every time we go out so he wont throw a tantrum when he's older and doesnt get something every time we go out. But this one time won't hurt. After our trip to Walmart we went to pick up dada from work. Adam was so happy to see him. We came back to my house to let Cayle play with his toys. And we played with him. He had so much fun. Later, we made him his birthday cake. Adam thought we should decorate it. So he wrote happy birthday cayle #1. I loved it. We played a little while longer, then I took adam home. This saturday is Grace's party. Adam, Cayle, and I got her a nursery set for her baby dolls. I hope she likes it. Next Saturday is Cayle's third birthday party. Adam's family is throwing it for him. I think it's extremely sweet of them to do that. I can't wait till the parties.!

Cayle's birthday party.

I had a lot of fun on Cayle's party day. A lot of people showed up. Most of it was family, but a few of my really good friends came. Adam was there too and it was the first time some of my friends and family have met him. I baked cupcakes for four hours and decorated them too. It was all worth it. Cayle got a lot of tonka trucks and some really cute clothes.!! I can't wait until he can wear them all.! He even got a toy story blanket and refuses to sleep with anything but that blanket. haha. Adam felt really proud to be a part of it all. He was right by my side helping cayle eat his cupcake and open his presents. Thanks again to those of you that came and for his wonderful gifts. That night, Adam, Cayle, Christina, Chris, and Grace went to some trunk or treats to get the babies some candy. Cayle ended up being batman for halloween this year. Pretty epic if I do say so myself. Grace was a witch. She looked too cute. I have to start my christmas shopping now. haha. Tomorrow is cayle's actual birthday and I wanna take him to the zoo and the playground to swing. And when we get home I'll blow up his ball pit adam got him and give it to him. I can't believe he's gonna be one. It blows my mind....the downside to him turning one is that sperm donor's family wants to see him. I wasn't really prepared for them to be calling me..considering they haven't called on any holidays or anything so I'll admit to being a little off guard. But I'm a tough person and I'm strong and I'm gonna make cayle's first birthday really special for him. Also, I'm getting my number changed as I type this..so be sure that I get it to anyone who needs it. Also please pray for my pup to come home. he's been missing since friday night. :((
