So so tired

This has definitely been one of those weekends (and it's only Saturday night!). You know the kind where you have something to do every single minute?

Tomorrow is our family's Thanksgiving. My grandpa has a chemo treatment scheduled for this Tuesday, so he wouldn't be up for Thanksgiving Day, so we changed it. It is tomorrow. At my house. Whew. We did the shopping the other day, which was pretty nice. No hunting for the last can of pumpkin or last packet of gravy. And tonight, after a morning session of cleaning and a baby shower this afternoon, my mom and I made pies and brined the turkey. Then there was a little more cleaning and some last minute sewing on Ethan's outfit for tomorrow. There will probably be more cleaning tomorrow morning after...

Our photo session!! I'm so excited, tomorrow is our family picture day with Lyndsay. Well, I'm not exactly excited about waking up at 6am to be there by 8, but I'll survive. I have been excited about this even before I knew we could afford to do it. I think the "picture taking" will be just as fun as the actual photos. It'll be nice to have fun as a family, lovin' on each other, and being happy.

Oh, and you know what else? The little man can now do this:


But usually, he can't get into that position by himself. Until tonight. When he was supposed to be falling asleep. I've been thinking about moving the crib down for a week or so now. He can't crawl, can't pull up, but I figured I wouldn't want the first time to be when he's alone in his crib. Well, shoulda listened to my instinct. He was standing there tonight just yelling. Scared the crap out of us. So, we paused the baking to move down the crib. I think Ethan just thought it'd be fun to add to mommy's stress level. Stinker.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to us (and to anyone else that may be celebrating early)! I'll hopefully be back with pictures of the festivities, but for now, I must try to sleep.
