C’mon Help a girl out!
Pic of the Day ~ Becca’s First Halloween (see cute eh? VOTE! Please)
I entered Becca’s first Halloween photo into a Halloween contest over at Real Savvy Moms! I totally want you to head over there and vote for Rebecca! She is the cute bunny! There is a $100 gift certificate from Walmart at stake and darn it she is the cutest! So go Vote, Please, Pretty Please!!! Please!
Yesterday I finally finished a project I had been working on for Becca. I was at a friend’s house and she had a rubbermaid container with pinto beans in it. The kids loved it! Becca was especially fond of climbing right in and digging holes, filling containers and that sort of thing. Well over a month ago I bought a slide under the bed container (my friend’s was taller and therefore less beans became liberated on her floor) so that we could store it away when not in use. Finally yesterday we bought the pinto beans! Becca has been LOVING the bean box. She takes her animals, dinosaurs and little dolls in there, containers, her shoes?, and happily plays for over an hour! Great inexpensive, indoor sand box!
I also am a little more prepared for Christmas this year! Every time I read Marz’s blog I panic, trying to fight the urge to run out to the mall that very instant! Then I look at the stash. See I have found some awesome things (for awesome prices) for Becca the last few months. All of which I have been saving for Christmas. Yesterday I spent the entire nap-time (over two hours!) wrapping and well watching Buffy on DVD(I am on a big marathon while Becca sleeps!). J purchased the entire show (all seven seasons) for me a few Christmas’s ago. I have watched them like 5 times. Yes I am a dork. Anyway, all of Becca’s presents are wrapped as well as a few for friends. It is hard to be psyched for Christmas, when Halloween has yet to arrive and there is so much that is to happen between now and then!
This morning we are off to get new tires. The last few days, I have noticed the car doing a little shaking and riding rough. J was freaking thinking cv-joints, however it appears it is just the tread being gone form the tires (hmmm guess I should have noticed that eh?) Bonus we are getting the tires installed at Costco so we get to shop while we wait!!!
Ok now if you didn’t go before, please go vote for Becca in the Halloween contest! Thanks you guys so totally rock!

Ok, ok you twisted my arm. Psst, you are right she is the cutest!! I love the look in her eyes!

she is a cute little bunny with those chubby little cheeks!!
I like the bean idea…some friends of ours did that, but with rice instead of beans. I’m all for anything that keeps them entertained!

The most adorable “bunny” I have ever seen!

Kayla’s therapists would bring over the “Bean box” (which I liked better than the Rice box” as it was less clean up!) and she loved it too! Never knew beans could be so much fun!
Heading over to vote for Becca now! She was a cute bunny!
