Revised

As I am doing my few xmas purchases I noticed I definitely went off course from my original plan. Oh well! The things I got I love! Now the only things left are Aiden's big gift and Bella's gift. Then I'm done! Wahoo!

ORIGINAL POST

Since Aiden is a big coloring kick and I don't want crayons melting in my car or markers on the furniture I thought this item was a perfect alternative. We can travel with it and it's mess free.

His other gift came out of inspiration from hunting a gift for Carlos. I love it! A portable chair and sleeping bag. Now they just need a tent. The chair will come in handy when we go watch Daddy play baseball and softball. I got Carlos the fox and Aiden the bear. LOVE!

I found a cute dollhouse for my niece, Lily. You wouldn't have thought it was hard to find a small one but it was. So if anyone is looking for one Target now has them in stock. Plus you can buy different animal families and decor.

I love having almost all the shopping done. Takes the stress load off. Everything is perfectly wrapped. Yes, wrapped! :-) Hiding in the closet. I know I'm a dork, but December is a crazy month for me.

Now for the random thoughts:I know everyone is wondering how did the switch go?! Well I won't go into to much detail save for the big room reveal, but he did GREAT!!! No falling out or getting out of bed...knock on wood! This weekend we are painting.

This month is SOOOO BUSY! Like every weekend something.

THIS SAT. AGRICENTER HARVEST FESTIVAL! (Lots of pumpkin pics to come)
THIS SUN. PINK PALACE CRAFT FAIR (One of my fav fairs of the year)

Oct 22 CHRIS' HOUSE (Fall celebration with friends and family)

Oct. 29. ZOO BOO (Best place to go trick or treating in town)

So as I'm pulling in the driveway I'm like what's that red thing by the garage?! Then a big smile comes to my face why?! Because my neighbors are amazing! They brought over a wagon full of goodies for Aiden. And this is exactly why I love where I live. Everyone is so nice, thoughtful, and friendly even when my dog terrorizes them. ;-) He's one scary pup. JK! We are so blessed to have the neighbors we have, couldn't get any better. We look out for each other and Wes even plays softball with some of them. One big family! But after I saw the wagon I was like "Crap! Now what am I going to get him for his bday??!!" It was a Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon and looks practically brand new with little wear. It will come in handy for those weekend trips to the zoo we will be doing next year thanks to the membership I'm going to get us.

I leave with cute pictures of the little man as we are leaving for school. He gets so excited trying to bust out the door. I can't speak for everyone else but it is getting COLD here. 45 degrees this morning. Guess I need to rotate our closets.
