Life in the South

The trials and tribulations of parenthood and living away from family from a "Yankee" raising a baby in the south.

Welcome November!

Finally, November is here! I never thought October was going to end! On Friday night it was Adam's job to begin painting the nursery and I was going to deal with the trick-or-treaters. Boo, we didn't have 1 kid come to the door! It was so depressing. I must admit, I do miss how Ohio does trick-or-treat, you know how they set a time, like everyone goes out on Thursday from 6-8. Down here it's on Halloween and kids go out around the time it gets dark and then stops whenever. To me it is just so unorganized. I guess the best part is I get all the leftover candy! (one of the pros of being pregnant at Halloween.) So Adam got the nursery painted and now it's my turn to put my touch on it tomorrow. I will be painting stripes around the top of the room. Pictures to come of the stripes (cross your fingers that it works). . . .


Then, on Saturday night our good friends Melissa and Lawrence had a birthday party/Halloween party for Lawrence. It was a great time! Now this was the part I didn't like about being pregnant at Halloween, coming up with a costume, because of course everyone wears costumes to their Halloween party. Well, my husband wins the 'super husband' award because he came up with the most awesome idea for me: A Magic 8 ball! We had to modify his idea a tad, because he really wanted to paint my belly, but we compromised and I painted a shirt.


Here are pictures of the party. Adam went as a SEC punching bag, and for those non-college football fans aka an Ohio State Superfan that got beat up in the south!

Also, here are more pictures from the baby shower cubed from another friend.
