random-ness

What the what?  Did I forget I had a blog?  Nope, I just remembered I have a 14 month old baby crackhead.  Last weekend me, my mom, and Scarlet went to Atlanta to visit my sister, her hubs, and her 2 babies!  We had an absolute blast.  Too much gossip, drinking, eating, and baby-ing to even describe!  I have photo proof so you don't think that I haven't left my house since last time I blogged!

Although my little came down with an ear infection the day after we got there, she fared quite well for playtime!  We had a visit to Children's Health Atlanta (cause what vacation would be complete without a doctors visit?) where the ear was diagnosed and got some antibiotics for that nonsense.  Besides that Scarlet had a blast with her cousin Emma and we did too!  She was not so interested in her little baby cousin Harrison but did find the time to touch him and call him "beebee!"

We have had a stressful past couple weeks and I'm sure you will hear about it soon, but we had a great "break" this weekend and hope I get back to regular blogging soon!  I have been keeping up with all of ya'll just laying low on the comments and such as I have been reading from my phone.  Peace out & GOOD NIGHT!

Shameless Plug

Wake up

Oh my god I just had a mild heart attack. Last week John was attacked by yellow jackets while cutting the grass. He ran inside screaming and stripping off the infested clothes until I got stung by a straggler and he ran outside taking the swarm with him. Or so we thought until I killed one on the kitchen sink the next day... Those are some mean ass bugs. Yesterday it took me 5 good smashes to kill a giant ant with wings in the house. WTF? What is this, A Bugs Life? This morning, thanks to my supersonic bat hearing I heard a big bug land in our room. Like it woke me up big. I grabbed my glasses and surveyed the room from bed. Nothing. Got up and went to grab my phone off the window sill and quickly noticed the biggest wasp ever. I'm talking the T-Rex of wasps yall. Like I slammed it with a dirty converse which would be enough to seriously harm an infant and this thing didn't even have a bent leg. I freaked after killing it. I mean what the shit? We have regular pest control and we have A BABY!! This is scary. Excuse me I'm going to go buy a crib tent so my child doesn't get mauled by an insect.

Random!

We have had a lot of random shiz going on lately.

* First & foremost we welcomed a most perfect little boy into our little group of girls.  I may be a month late but here is the infamous Harrison McCary Edwards.  Yeah, that's my cute nephew!  He is so snuggly and perfect it almost makes me want to have another.  Almost. 

* Next I need to tell you about how I got the best high chair on earth.  Not to long ago, when we were living the beach life, John's mom and I quickly decided that for all of the time we spend there we should have a high chair.  She knows all about my hatred for the Peg-Perego chair we had so she offered to buy a new one and bring the Peg to the condo.  Now don't get me wrong, thus far I have LOVED all things Peg (especially because this was a garage sale find!) but this joker was, well... a joke.  If you have not had a child or are pregnant DO NOT, I repeat, do not buy a high chair with a seat pad that holds every ounce of food your baby has eaten from weeks past.  Unless you are totally opposite from me and actually take the 30 minutes it takes to take it apart nightly.  I did that once.  This is the new one.  It is everything I would have made if I knew how to make things.  I love it dearly.  And thanks to iGriza we got it at a VERY affordable price!

* Last month I turned 29.  Woot woot.  We went out to eat and then went to meet some friends at a favorite pub of ours!  My sweet husband spoiled me with a gift card to my absolute favorite store on earth (Pangea in Nashville!)  My parents and In-laws got together and got me the beautiful kitchen sink and faucet I (we) wanted.  Funny how your b'day presents change once you get married and have a house and a child! 

* So we have been super busy as you can see, and I have more to share.  For now this is it!  Oh one last thing.  Anyone remember those little toy chicks and bunnies we used to get in our Easter baskets that chirped if you touched those 2 metal dots on there feet?

Well Scarlet got one for Easter.  She likes to lick its metal parts to hear it chirp.  On Sunday she filled it so full of spit it would not stop so I threw it in the trash outside.  IT IS STILL CHIRPING.  Swear.  They should make car batteries out of those cause that damn bird has been chirping for 120 hours with no sign of stopping.  Thank God the garbage man comes tomorrow! 

* And just cause she's cute!
