PUH....
It all started this Thursday morning when I decided to stop by Starbucks on my way downtown to a meeting. On my way there Tracey called to see if I would get her a drink and a blueberry muffin for a coworkers Birthday. As I drove to Starbucks I was thinking to myself how I was going to carry everything to my car and then upstairs to our downtown office.
I got to the 90210 Starbucks (aka Line Ave) and ordered everything I grabbed a cup holder tray thing to put both drinks and the muffin in. As soon as I opened the door to my car and leaned over to set the tray on my center console the entire tray fell into my DRIVERS SIDE SEAT!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't do anything but watch the yummy Starbucks drinks drain from my front seat to my back seat floor board! I had no clue how I was going to clean it up and there was no way I could sit on my seat in my nice clothes and drive to my meeting. Then I thought to check in the trunk for a towel or sheet to wipe everything up, but NO such luck! Thankfully for Oliver's survival kit I made when he started "school" there was a package of wipes in the kit!! Woohoo!
I climbed into the passenger seat and began to wipe down my seat, my COACH purse and my BELOVED life planner (more on my new obsession with my life planner later)!! One package of wipes later and my seat was some what clean but wet. I found Oliver's life jacket in the truck and used it to sit on as I drove to my meeting. I got there on time and with the blueberry muffin intact.
After the meeting I headed to my office to work and find a place to get my car cleaned. I left my office for lunch and passed two cop cars on the median of Youree and Bert Kouns. As I made my way pass the two cop cars, one pulled out going my direction!!!!! I immediately thought he saw that my inspection sticker was expired. One light and a few cars later he was behind ME with his lights on. I pulled into the Lowes parking lot ready for my ticket for my inspection sticker, and when the cop got to my window he said......Mam have you ever been pulled over for your.......

WINDOW TINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously?!?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!? I have had this car for THREE years and have never been pulled over for my tint!!!!!!!!! I informed the cop that I bought the car with this tint and that no one has ever pulled me over for my tint and I no nothing about WINDOW TINT!!!!
He put his handy dandy thingy on my window to show me how illegal my tint was and then asked me if I knew that my inspection sticker was out!?!?!? REALLY?!?! Is this necessary?? Shouldn't you be catching criminals?!?!
He went to his car to run all my info and then came back to generously give me a ticket for an expired inspection sticker and my window tint!!!!!!!!!! I was so mad!!!
Oliver reading Mommy's ticket!
I have so many other more IMPORTANT things to worry about than an inspection sticker and window tint!!
I have never gotten a ticket but there is truly a first time for everything!!!
It was such a crappy day, but I tried to keep telling myself to not sweat the small stuff and that I am truly BLESSED!!!
It doesn't get better than this...

Pumpkin Pickin
Hooray Fall is here!?!? Right?? Ha This is my favorite time of the year. I was so excited to take Oliver to the pumpkin patch this year! Last year he was just a baby but this year I just knew he would love running around and playing with the pumpkins. Well he had his moments of being interested and happy but for the most part he cried and wanted to be held. This year Gammy, Paw, Gran Jan, Papaw, and Becky came to play with us at the pumpkin patch.
Trying to find the perfect pumpkin
Wouldn't turn around and look at us!
No Mom that one is too big!
Trying again...I like this one!

2010
I can't believe how much can change in one year!!
Oliver did not want to take pictures!
Gammy, Paw and Oliver
Papaw, Becky, Oliver and I
One of Oliver's favorite people...GranJan
Chasing Gammy and wanting to be picked up!
Finally he spotted a mound of probably dangerous things covered up with a tarp and he stopped crying and ran to climb on it. I had two options either I could not let him play and be happy or I could let him win and be happy climbing and being a b-o-y!
Needless to say I let him be a b-o-y!!
He loved the big blowup pumpkin!
For the most part it was a good trip to the pumpkin patch with family and a wonderful start to the Fall season!
HAPPY FALL YA'LL!!

Oliver's 1st Haircut!!
Today was the day! I finally broke down and decided to get Oliver's haircut. We have Christmas pictures this Sunday and he was beginning to grow a little rat tail/curl that needed to go! I didn't want to cut his hair but I knew it needed it.
I didn't get any pictures of Oliver in the chair because he sat in my lap and we had to act fast before we lost our window of opportunity. He would turn his head every time she touched him with the comb or scissors but he did surprisingly well with the trimmers!

Right after his big boy haircut!
The Back
The Side
Big Boy Oliver!!
I have to admit this is a very sad day. I can't say that I love it but it is growing on me! It is crazy to think that cutting off the little bit she did changed him from baby to big boy! TEAR!!! Okay Oliver you can stop growing up now!! Thank you...love Mommy!
