Let's catch up.

What a busy week this has felt like. Yesterday was so busy for me that this morning I could not get myself up from exhaustion. Let's just say the day started at 5:45am and ended at about 10pm after a full day of work, driving in traffic, a Scentsy conference call, bed time for Ben and then baking not only Pumpkin Bars but Choco Chip cookies because my sweet husband just wanted some. I was pooped... and not feeling super great this morning-so I stayed home. I probably should've rested more, but I always seem to find a million things I "need" to do on my days off.
Friday of last weekend Ryan went with Jacob, Clint, Taylor and Geoff to go see a "guy" movie. And some of us ladies stayed home and watched Hairspray and smelled my new samples I got from signing up to do Scentsy. (If you're still wondering what that is- look at my web page from the link to your right!) Saturday we spent the morning getting some things done and then that afternoon Ashley and I got our craft on and made Christmas Countdown blocks! It was SO fun! We got a little high off the Mod-Podge (which apparently my mother in-law knows the inventor of...) but we made our cute little blocks and they turned out great! Even the guys who seem to care less about that stuff liked them! Ashley made an x-mas one AND a Halloween one. Mine are the ones on the bottom left and hers are the others! CUTE HUH?! The kit she got us came with the wood blocks and the vinyl lettering, which we decided was NOT a good idea to be in white nor did we care for the font. But we made it work by tracing the numbers with a black sharpee before sealing it with the Mod-Podge. Ryan gave Ben a haircut on Sunday. He's such a good kid. I mean he's wiggly and everything but he sits pretty still for being so young. And daddy is gentle with him and also very patient and that's great.We had our typical Sunday meal in which my hubby made THE BEST steak... lots of compliments and Ashley made YUMMY Cream Cheese Pound Cake. I tell ya, we love those Sunday dinners!
Last week we also went out to dinner with Nana (which Ben pronounces "Nanny") and Poppy to where else but Taco Mac. I got a cute picture of the 3 Smith generations playing a racing video game. I'm so glad Ben has a set of grandparents near by. I wish he had both sets- but I didn't really have any close to me so I hope that he has great memories of his grandparents. Both sides!
What else... here is the latest mound of dirt in front of the temple. It was strange because they gutted it out and you could see all the way to the back of it from the street! Maybe that's why they put the dirt there, who knows. But here's an update in case you were wondering.
That's all for now. I mean, really there's SO much going on. I am already selling lots with Scentsy and am hoping to have a par-tay up in Knoxville, TN for my cousin. We're thinking of changing our Thanksgiving plans, Halloween is Saturday and we still haven't even carved our pumpkins! We just BARELY got Ben's costume Monday. And I'm pretty bummed I don't more time to do everything and more time to spend with my kid. Not much I can do right now about it though. Okay... bed time.
