Owl-O-Ween!

Saturday night we had our 'Owl-O-Ween' party. Overall, I think it was a success. At least I had fun and that's what matters, right?

We had around 16 adults who came plus maybe 8 kids.

Jennifer was my co-host and I couldn't have done it without her. She is so crafty and did much of the work.

She made this cool black wreath and brought the mason jars with candy corn and candles and also made this really fun Happy Halloween banner. It's not often that I allow glitter into my home so this was a big exception. (for those of you who do not know me, I can't stand glitter!)

Some close-ups (Look out, Martha Stewart!)


Here are some spooky cobwebs we put up (I must admit that I found some real ones when I was up on that stepstool but I left them there.). :)


We had lots of food. Jenn brought chili and I made "mummy dogs" (hot dogs wrapped like mummies with crescent dough). We had lots-o-lots-o meatballs and other people brought yummy foods to go along. I even got a little crafty myself and hollowed out a pumpkin to use as a dip bowl.

Here are some other random pics of friends who attended. It was so nice to hang out with everyone and we loved that so many fun people came!

The "Birthday Club"-- Jenn, Mindy, Mel, me, Lisa

Jenn & Mindy:



Amy & her newborn, Nathaniel. What a good baby; he hardly made a peep all night!


Here's Lisa with 2 of her kids, Lyndsey & Andrew:



Here's Michele & me. Michele has the perfect shirt on for our Owl-O-Ween party.



Jenn, Mel, & Adrian:

Kevin, Kathi, & Margaret. Sorry, Margaret, for catching you with such an expression. You're still cute.


Michele & Sarah. Sarah is about to go into labor any moment so I was glad she was able to come and party with us before her baby arrives!

Fun times! Happy Owl-O-Ween!!!!!!!!!!

At the hospital - LIVE UPDATES

Image
Hello, blog readers! I am blogging live from the hospital with Nathan as my guest blogger. If anyone is awake out there, you can feel free to check out my blog for updates throughout my hospital visit. I was having contractions at home so we were sent to the hospital around 10pm for observation. I was dilated to 3cm when I arrived. They made me walk two 40-minute rounds which felt like a marathon for me. I didn't have any shoes on and got to wear a super cute hospital gown though. Essentially, I'm here for false labor. But, they are afraid to send me home because of how quickly I go into labor so I'm staying to be induced. ---- This is Nathan - it's 2:11 AM. Amber just got her epidural. She's at 4 cm. Her blood pressure just dropped to 80 / 43 and we had a bit of a scare. She thought she was going to pass out and had some nausea. Feeling better now. 2:35 AM. 2:55am Working to start Pitocin (drug to speed up contractions) because the ba...

Kennedy's Corner: The BIG FIVE

Happy birthday, Kennedy!!!!      To our sweet & fun girl! She's 5 today!  She LOVES to dress up whether it's jewelry, fancy clothing, or princess stuff.   Here's her latest-- a pink fur coat and sequins skirt.   Classy! She's nurturing.  She loves playing "mommy" to her baby dolls and caring for other people.  She loves to sing ( and I mean constantly ).   She is thoughtful and compassionate and loves to pray for others.  She can be headstrong and difficult too (just like her mother) but we're working together on that!    She goes to Pre-K 5 mornings a week and loves her teacher and school.   Her favorite foods are cheese quesadillas, pepperoni, and Ritz crackers.   Her favorite show is Curious George.   She's also obsessed with dogs whether it's pretending to be one, begging us to buy one, playing with a toy one, or asking every stranger in the city if she can pet th...
