Oh school...

 I find myself to be very crabby these days. School is stressful. I didn't like it the first time, its not much better this time around.

Things that have changed in 5 short years:
1 Everyone wears skinny jeans... even guys
2 ECC is completely remodeled with multiple additions, very nice
3 I have been to the library more in the past month then I did all of high school and college the first time
4 Toms are ugly, no question
5 The internet is used for everything!! -its great

Things that haven't:
1 I still hate school, period.
2 kids are still mean and clicky , not all
3 Why do all Liberians act like they hate kids? Don't get a job at a school then...
4 I love coffee
5There are still kids wearing pajamas to class, all the time

Apple Juice and Goldfish Crackers

I would have never guessed she would love goldfish crackers so much. Mom, Tess, and I went to the opening of the new SAMs club and they were giving out samples of goldfish. It was over from there.....

Yes, there is no nutritional value in goldfish(sad). But I don't fill her up on them, and she only eats about 3 at a time.

She does very well with the straw cup from avent, caught on very quickly.

I have to watch out and only give her 1 or 2 goldfish at a time because she will put as many in her mouth as she can, and sometimes I find one in her mouth 20 mins later. She is like a little chipmunk.

Vacuuming

I purchased this adorable playschool brand vacuum at Savers for $4.99. Totally worth it!!! It looks brand new, I wiped it down with a lysol wipe, let it dry... she thinks its awesome!! The cutest part is she  will make a vacuuming noise when she does the vacuuming motion haha!!

Vacuuming with Daddy!! He tried to teach her to yell "move your stuff out of the way I am vacuuming!" -only Mommy laughed....

Lesson: Don't leave the tissue box out

All I could do was laugh in disbelief lol. I was taking an econ quiz online, sitting on that blue ottoman in the picture in front of the computer.... I should know silence is not a good thing with an almost 1 year old.

Sick Evie

Sick snotty baby.
Evie has been switching back and forth between crying and laughing the past few days and saying mom mom mommmm mamaaa mom mom lol its cute.

Lovin with Mom. I never get to cuddle with my baby. I have been enjoying her snuggling with me the past couple days.

Go BEARS

Evie Gene, the Chicago Bears new cheerleader!! 

Despite having a cold and being snotty and crabby, she thought she was pretty cool in her cheerleader uniform for the Bears season opener. Taking pictures was difficult, she did not want to stop playing. (Note, the mess of toys in the background).

Posing against her blue elephant slide ; )) lol 

Done taking pictures......... toys to play with.... 

Evie is almost 1!

School sucks, Evie is sick, Eugene is working a lot, and I am crabby.

 

 No that I have whined a little. My baby girl Evie Gene is going to be 1 September 27!! Time sure flys!!

(Look at that cheesy face : ))

We are planning a family party for the sunday after her birthday. The theme is her favorite cartoon, Yo Gabba Gabba.
