Quiet Weekend..

Quiet weekend this past one, which was nice as the weekends coming up will be chock full of craziness with the holidays quickly approaching. Is anyone else freaking out that Christmas is only 4 weeks away? *Sheesh! We did hit up the new outlets in Tinton Falls (I think they're actually in Neptune) on Saturday and Riley was rather angelic- we scored two pairs of Vans (ghost print and santa skull print)for a sweet 20 bones plus a fairly dorky hat and mitten set from Gymboree that was desperately needed with the weather taking a header into deep winter. So, the weekend was nice, aside from a few hours in the late afternoon yesterday when Riley decided he would invoke the spirit of Manon (Uncle Woobs will be the only one to get this reference, for sure)and act like an absolute animal, not unlike Fairuza Balk's character in one of my all time favorite guilty pleasure movies of all time, The Craft. In the end, we forgave him, as when we he doesn't get down for a nap before 1pm, it's usually a hard sell anyway, so it was our fault for shopping and hitting up Delicious Orchards for holiday dinner fixins' anyway. Today, it was a late morning with Mommy (Walgreens, Pathmark, and the carwash!)as Jim has a bit of a cold and we wanted to give him time to relax. Riley ended up crashing out for a nice long nap so I finished a bunch of school crap and my Christmas list!

Oh, and Clumpy (Hiiiii Heather!)is doing a-ok, going back for another ultrasound this week just to check on something they couldn't see in the last one 2 weeks ago(not a penis, so get your head out of the gutter, but some vessel in the umbilical cord) and I'm fully in maternity clothes now, so the belly is getting large and in charge. I'm helping "the belly" along as tonight will be my 3rd night of dessert, aw yeah!

A few pics...

Riley's new favorite after-bath activity is rifling through the scarf/hat/glove winter bin (which also houses some old purses for some reason)





Riley made Jim take a picture of his belly after he took one of mine a few nights ago (we're not trying to be artsy, our camera just double exposed the image I guess)





Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!
