26 weeks and Camping

 
 
So we went camping on Friday night and the kids absolutely LOVED it.
We camped in tents but with air mattresses of course. With the temp dropping to a low of 43 that night I am thankful for my little space heater we had. Mallie slept between her Mimi and Grandaddy in their tent and Brett slept in his playpen (well most of the night) in our tent.  During the night while in deep sleep... Brett starts saying "Daddy...... Mommy.... Daddy" , in his sweet voice of course.
Precious boy :0)

 
Daddy taught Mallie how to roast marshmallows.
 She wasn't interested in making smores... just roasting those marshmallows.
I think she would have roasted the whole bag if we would have let her.
 
 
 
The next morning we just hung out until it was time to pack it up.
Daddy got nauseous so he had to sit out of packing/loading stuff up.... very convenient eh?!
*I am just picking on him... he really was sickly*

Hot Necks

 
The scarf trend is on a roll and I have officially jumped on the bandwagon.
  I have always loved the look of a white t-shirt with a scarf but I never thought I could pull it off.
Well I discovered Audrey's blog : Putting Me Together about a month ago and she inspired me to try it out. Here are a couple of her outfits I love that gave me some major confidence.
 
 

Leopard scarves should be a closet staple.
 I bought one on ebay for $2.99 free ship.... yes you read that right. :0)
 
 
 
She makes it look so chic!!
(She has awesome tips on her blog about how to remix your wardrobe)
 
 
 
Here are some scarves that have caught my eye

Can you tell I want all three of these?

I fell when I was 33 weeks pregnant with Brett which thus caused pre-term labor/bedrest.

And in real life....
 
I was going to paint the pumpkins (see the drop cloth) but I still haven't decided on what to do yet.... tis why my table still looks like this 5 days later.
 
 
 
I made this recipe the other day and it was amaze-balls good!
 Thank you Natasha for this glorious new way to make Mac N Cheese. :0)
 
 
I have done this throughout my entire life... and I am not ashamed to admit this problem ;0)
 
 
 
And this is for those of you who want to know the annoying side of pregnancy...

Oh and I will be picking this jacket up for Mallie today, supposedly they have 1 5t left in stock
 at my store.
