Arts Festival

This Sunday me and Regina headed up to the Pink Palace Arts Festival, which is always fun! We have such amazing and talented local artist. If only I could afford it all...so I took away lots of inspiration.

First stops to my favs...I love their peices so much! My statement piece in my living room is a Judy piece. Then I have an Alice piece in my kitchen. Love them because they are one of a kinds, and timeless. We may not have nice bedroom furniture, but we have nice art. haha :-) See where my priorities are.

Then I spot a lady who does watercolors. Ah LOVE! They were lovely and very reasonable. Also in nice frames. I could have bought everything! haha But I did get a friends' Christmas present and of course the Alabama print for Aiden.

Kinda sad the guy who I got the adorable wooden toy dog from last year didn't return this year. I was hoping to buy another piece from him.

But there was a new shop that I fell in love with, selling little bell necklaces. Each is handcrafted and came with an adorable phrase. I loved the Mini Niece Bell. Now I just need my bro or sis to have a little girl so I can get them one. I couldn't find it on their website, but it was something along the lines "I love you like you were my own and even though we don't see each other as much as I would like every time the bell rings know I am thinking of you." PRECIOUS! Can't get any cuter than that.

COLLECT BELLS

Then finally at the very end I spotted something to get the little man for XMAS and even his Birthday. Luckily the person lives in Memphis and is able to make me custom item since all she had left were girl color items. She was telling me how she completely sold out of everything on Saturday and had to make a few items that night so she could sell a items on Sunday. I was like well I can see why. They are PRECIOUS and so unique! I am getting him the penguin for his birthday then the other one for XMAS.

That night Aiden was VERY restless. We put him down at 7, back up by 8. I try and go in there to calm him down. I leave, then back to screaming bloody murder. So I bring him in the living room with us. He's so tired but can't fall asleep on my shoulder. Poor little guy kept putting his head down and nothing. FINALLY we get him down at 10. We go to bed....ah...wait it's 3am. And Aiden is back up. Wes goes in there that doesn't work he just wants Mommy. Oh no, that normally means he is sick. So I tell Wes just let him crawl into our bed...which kinda turned into the drawing, so Wes slept on the couch. Everyone knows you don't mess with a sick baby especially when we are all sleep deprived. And it took about 2 hours to get him down...so finally getting to bed at 5am took the life out of me. So I worked from home yesterday and we headed up to the doctor in the AM.

Thankfully, he doesn't have strep like his cousins and aunt it's just a severe sinus infection. We got him antibotics and praise the lord he slept from 8-6 last night. AHHHHH! I don't see how I functioned when he was a baby and waking up many times in the AM. If he does it 1 day now it takes such a toll on my body that I go into zombie mode.

In the mist of feeling sick he was still a busy body during the day. Playing his music meaning shaking our vitamin bottles. haha And reading his books before bedtime.

Mommy was even able to finish my Halloween wreath last night. I liked how it turned out, just wish I could tie bows good.
