I am loving October and this AWESOME weather we have been having. The weather has be so cool and nice just perfect! Fall is Definitely here. I am just waiting for the trees to start changing colors. I am dying to get my camera out and take some fall pictures of the boys. My card is full right now, so I haven't been able to take pictures in a while.
I am wanting to take pictures for people to earn some extra money. I just haven't pushed it very much. I have friend at church who is wanting me to take pictures for her. I have taken pictures for my family several times. I love to take candid pictures of the boys all the time.
A big switch in gears. I have started getting my fall decor out. I don't have a lot. I have a little arrangement that I get out.
Then I bought a bunch of little pumpkins from Wal-Mart. I put them in a big vase on top of a TV and then I put some in a decorative dish on my kitchen table.
I also bought a small fall smelling candle. I love candles! I love burning candles! I love fire!
I would like to eventually get a wreath or something to put on our door. That is about all that I will do.
I have also decided what the boys will be for Halloween. They are going to be Buzz-light year and Woody from Toy Story. I thought it would be really cute to have then in correlating costumes. I have never done that before, so I thought it would be cute!

Show us your live: Baby Gear
I have never participated in Kelly's blog carnival "Show Us Your Life". I love baby gear and I love babies. I also know that as a new mom it hard to figure out what things you need or things you will really use. It market can be overwhelming when it come to baby gear.
The thinks that I really used were as follows:
1. I used a bouncy seat. Both of my boys like them and I would bouncy them with my foot and it calmed then down. They did out grow it rater quickly though.
2. I just used a little bath folding cradle. I used it in the sink and in the bath tub when they got older. Here is what it looks like .
3. A swing. I didn't have a very good one with my first one and he didn't like it very much. My second baby LOVE IT! We could not have lived with out it. He slept in his more that it did he bed for naps.
4. Jumparoo. We had one with micah and it kept Him entertained. Now I do have to say He out grew it rather quickly. I was given mine so I made good use out of it. I don't know if I was to spent the money on it, if I would have gotten it.
5.Exersaucer. Both of my boys loved this and it was worth the money. The played it for ours and it helped keep them in one spot so that I could get stuff done.
6. Convertible Car seat. The carriers work until the baby gets around 18-19 lbs. or until they are like 20 or 21 inches long. So when that happened i got a convertible car seat and we still are using them, because they convert to booster seat. The booster seat is what Levi is in now.
7. Pack n' play. We loved our pack and play. That is what I used beside our bed instead of a bassinet. It has a changing table attached to it.
Things I didn't use.
1. A wipe warmer. They dry the wipes out and I just didn't have one.
2. Diaper Genie. They smell and we have always gone through a lot of trash so i just put ours in the main trash can. I did use Wall-Mart sacks on the really stinky ones.
3. Sling. I never did find one i liked how it fit. They always hurt my back.
4. swaddlers. I always just used regular blankets to do that and my kids seem to like it just as much. I just never spent my money on buying one. Now I did have a friend give me a 1-2-3 swaddle and it was just like a big receiving blanket. I really liked that.
