Saturday, Sunday, & Monday

Sorry blog world, I have neglected you this weekend.  I have been a little busy, or just slack.


On Saturday I took my Thirty-One stuff to a "Spring Fling" at an Elementary School in our area. Monica went to and put out her Mococreations stuff! It was from 1-5 and freezing cold! You really don't get spring fever when it's freezing cold outside. It was a LONG day. I didn't do very well, but Monica did pretty good (at least one of us did)! I was so ready to come home and see Finn. That was the longest I have ever left Finn during the day. He stayed at home and hung out with Daddy all day so I'm sure he didn't miss Mommy!




Sunday we had some really bad storms come through our area. It lasted forever, storm after storm. I watched the news for 6 hours straight. I think we are in a state of emergency. We had tornados all around us (2 in our county) and a really bad one about 5 miles from our house. There is a video that was taken along the interstate right down the road from us that is all over the news. (I tried to load it on here from YouTube but couldn't get it to work) It is so scary and at the time we didn't even realize it was bad.  We went to the basement 2 different times. They showed a time line of when the rotating clouds would be over us. They were pretty much right on target. Last night they weren't really sure of all the damage but this morning it is horrible. It is a miracle nobody was hurt looking at all the damage. At one point I actually saw clouds rotating in the field in front of our house. Tornados scare me to death! Just say a prayer for those families around us that lost everything. They returned to their homes this morning to find them completely destroyed.

Today Finn and I took a little trip to Target to get some things. On the way home I decided to stop by Arby's and we ate lunch in the car.  First I dropped a container of Ranch dressing all over my back seat. Then, Finn had a massive blow out! Ha! It was all over him! Out of the bottom and up his back. He has been a bit blocked up, so he was making up for it! It got all over my seat and he had to ride home with just a diaper on.  He thought it was the funniest thing ever! I was embarrassed for the people that saw him riding around with no clothes on. I should probably put an extra pair of clothes in the car for future emergency's!
I got Finn a baby pool today and put some balls in it. He LOVES it! He has been sitting in it all afternoon.


Here is one of the ties I ordered. I got this bowtie and 2 regular ties.  I actually like the orange one with dots the best! I ordered them from "The Belle and the Beau" on Etsy for those of you who asked! Jared doesn't like the bowtie at all but I think it's really cute! I am not really a bowtie person either, but it is so cute in person!


Wednesday we are leaving for the beach and I am sooo excited! Jared took off work Thursday and Friday so we could have an extra long weekend. It's supposed to be really warm this weekend so hopefully I can take Finn out on the beach to play!

    Those tornados last night were crazy! Mom and I had went to Salisbury to Harris Teeter and we saw the firetrucks set up at the old flea market when we were coming home...thank goodness no one was hurt!

  6. What an adorable baby and love love love his name. Funny until moving to Alabama I'd never heard it. Now after living her for several years I've taught 1 and known several others. Sounds like you were super busy and deserve some down time. The baby pool is a great idea! I may just have to go get one for my GG. Did you get it at Target? What about the balls?
    Hope you have a great Easter and fun at the beach.
