On Monday I started my new job and I LOVE it!!! Wish I would have done this awhile ago!! My coworkers are uber sweet and I'm already taking responsibilities on day 2! But I can tell my stress level is going to go down, which is a good thing for my sanity. But the other main plus, which might seem silly to most but when you practically live in a cubicle its VERY important, is my cube ROCKS! If you saw my last cube to this cube you think I bumped up to VP of the company. :-) I have a bookcase, tall filing cabinet, 3.5 walls, coat rack, an extra chair, white board. HOLY MOLY! My last cube I didn't have 1 full wall because of upper cabinets and my other wall was cut in half. So definitely no room to display pictures and the all important Bama flag. :-) I'm just really excited all around and VERY happy about my move and thankful to all my coworker friends who helped me get here. Couldn't have done it with out you! :-)

On a different note, this weekend I accomplished alot. Saturday during naptime Mommy put her creative hat on and did a little art project. I had mentioned before my large wall in my kitchen had been driving me CRAZY because it was so bare. So I moved an art piece from another side of the room to that side, which this art piece I love thanks to my sweet MIL. Next I made a burlap artpiece. I took a old picture frame and covered it with a piece of burlap. Got my handy dandy disappearing ink pen and went to town. After the 10th try I finally decided the "L" looked good enough and out came the black paint. I drew the bird's body on a white piece of paper and outlined it on the burlap, and back to painting. I think it turned out pretty good and my once bare wall is complete! Below is the link where I got the idea.

BURLAP IDEA

On Sunday my good friends Erica and Brittani came over to hangout and Brit's little boy Conner came to play with Aiden. They were precious together "talking" up a storm and sweet Conner kept stealing all of Aiden's toys saying "No!" and pointing his finger at him. Copying his mommy when she tells him "No". It was so cute and funny that me and Erica were dying. Eventually with some toys Aiden would start palming Conner and turning away so he couldn't steal them and a few times said "No" back. What a great Sunday! Check out the lunches I made for the boys. Dino Attack! Turkey sandwiches, strawberries, and Veggie Straws. Aiden looooved every bit of it and those strawberries were gone in no time. Conner didn't want to eat them, but definitely liked to squish them in his hands. Silly! I love those boys and future boy #2 for Brittani! Can't wait for December to come around!!

Oh yeah, we also had a surprise Sunday morning on our front steps. Our sweet neighbors, who donated their kid pinic table before, donated some other goodies to Aiden. I couldn't ask for better neighbors! The funny thing is what they gave us I was so going to get Aiden some for Christmas from "Santa". They gave us some tool toys, a step stool, and the Mega Blocks Wagon FULL and I mean FULL of blocks!! And as soon as Aiden saw it he attacked it and began stacking. So sweet of them to think of us when their grandson outgrows things. Guess they will be getting some EXTRA cookies from us this Christmas :-)

I leave with a cute picture of my Boo. Can't wait to go see him!
