While we were working on babies room, Brandon's mom realized we needed a cap for the light fixture so we headed to Wal-mart tonight hoping they would have one. I HATE black friday shopping so I was a little hesitant to even step foot into Wal-mart! While we were there, Brandon's mom spotted a grill for an amazing deal and we decided it would be worth the wait to hang out for the sale. I spotted some toys for Mason so I stuck in the toy area until they let people grab the items! The funny part was I found an awesome present for Brandon BUT the catch was there were only 4 of them left! There was a young guy in his 20's waiting by the gift and I asked if he could snatch me one. He said yeah of course which was great! All of a sudden Wal-mart started getting really busy and umm how do I say this nicely….an interesting crowd of people was flowing in! All of a sudden 6:00pm hit and it was madness! I quickly grabbed Mason's toys and headed to find the guy who said he would grab 2/4 boxes and give one to me. Sure enough he did and I was so thankful but REALLY shocked he did that for me. All of a sudden I see a police officer step in and yell "Ladies break it up!" there was two ladies fighting over the last box!!!(literally on the ground straddling the box with their legs) She then looked at my cart and screamed that I stole the last box from her!! I was terrified that this crazy lady was going to attack me! I actually went as far as to hide from her for awhile lol. I told Brandon's mom this may be the last Black Friday event I ever do yikes! Long story short…the crazy lady was taken away by the sheriff and Brandon will be the proud new owner of an air pressure pump that I saved a whopping $50 on.
We put up wallpaper in the babies room tonight and decorated for Christmas some more. Mason put up ornaments on the tree and I was able to find some goodies in the basement to make the house a little more Christmas like. I can't wait to show you all pictures of what we've done around here. It's been fun but definitely a lot of work!! I forgot how much easier it was to accomplish projects when you don't have a 2.5 year old running around. Poor buddy has had a fever the past 2 days too so it's been extra hard to get work done around here. He seems to be doing a lot better tonight though.
I also had a doctor appointment on Tuesday to make sure baby was in a good position. The good news is baby is head down! THe bad news is I am still measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule. This could mean big baby for me or it could just be the way I'm measuring. I am a little terrified though that she is going to end up big like Mace was! He was 22in and 8lbs. 4oz the day we brought him home from the hospital. My body can't handle a baby that big I don't think!! eek.
I am thankful for lots of things today. Seeing Mason grow and watching Brandon being a dad are probably the two things I love the most right now. Being able to see family whenever we want is another added bonus to our list of things to be thankful for. I was overwhelmed with emotion a little this morning remembering how Thanksgiving used to be with my family growing up. We would watch football, go shopping with my mom, rent lots of movies and just relax as a family. I haven't had a Thanksgiving with my siblings in probably 8 years or so! I'm really hoping to organize something with them in the next couple of years because I miss those times so much. My mom would have really wanted us to get together more and I need to do a better job of making sure it happens.
I am going to be posting a lot of pictures next week of babies room and the Christmas decor so stay tuned! xoxo Here's a little Colton cuteness for you
