Karleigh's Coat

I finally got around to snapping a picture of the munchkin in her purple coat that grandma sent the other day. It's not the best pic of the coat since she was being crazy (and wearing Hannah Montana pj pants!) but I love this color on her and will match a lot of her fall outfits for this year. This was her "here, I'm smiling but I'd rather be down playing in the muddy creek with my brother" smile. So the small countdown has begun and school starts for her on Friday! She's still having a hard time deciding what she's going to wear - I know, the horror - because it's supposed to be about 85 degrees and the outfit she really wants to wear has knee socks and a sweater vest and since she's in the afternoon session, it really will be warm.

What else is going on? We've been to a birthday party which was fun and finally kicked me in gear to start planning Rylan's birthday party for next month. He is standing firm in his decision and wants a monkey party. So, a monkey party he shall have! He's picked out the cake that he prefers and basically just said that he wants a monkey cake, balloons, and his friend Kaden, so that's easy enough! It'll be a nice, mellow, simple party this year, my parents, his little friends family (hopefully!) and us. I'll still stress out about it way more than necessary, spend too much time on a cake and way too many revisions on his invitation. =)

I'm seven and a half weeks now with just enough ookeyness to keep me feeling like it's really real. I don't actually get sick (knock on wood) but I do have a constant feeling of motion sickness that increases throughout the day. However, changing my vitamin did help that out a bit. Our next appointment isn't until the 25th but between school starting, Daisy Scout meetings, planning for Rylan's birthday and regular ol' life, I'm hoping it goes pretty quickly and without too much anxiety.
