What a weekend

Wrecked van, basement flooded & power outage to sum it all up.The wreck was minor. I was visiting a friend for lunch on St. Charles Rock Road Friday. Went to turn into parking lot while changing my radio station (so Chase and I could jam out) and totally ran into a medium. Tore my bottom grid up front end and little dent in bumper. I spent the afternoon trying to get it repaired. Body shop said it wasn't bad enough to do claim. Just needed wheel alignment and the bottom grid pushed up. Ok, so that was done. Then later that night, we had a power outage and packed everything up to stay in hotel (I must say that part was fun). Last night, while ice turned into rain...our sump pump decided to shut off in basement. Water came in everywhere. All the carpets are pulled up right now and it looks like a war zone.

Chase is getting tubes!

YIKES! I know it's not that big of deal but pretty scary still. He's getting them in both ears and his adnoids (sp?) taken out. Now we just need to see which outpatient place to take him for the procedure.

This age forever

Ok I'm having one of those moments. Chase had MDO this morning and had his first Christmas program. Pete and I got to see it. It was 15 minutes & so cute and Chase really got into it with following the arm motions and singing Jingle Bells. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST MY BABY IS GROWING. Pete took a picture from his blackberry. Not so clear but it's a keeper for sure. I know he has to grow up but gosh how I wish they could stay this age forever.

The tree ~ Is that for me?

The Christmas tree that is and just the one in our basement. I wanted to make it a little more festive for Thanksgiving so, I decided to put out a few decorations early. When Pete and Chase came home tonight, Chase came downstairs and saw the tree and said, "oohhh my gosh mom, THANKS, is that for me???" It was so cute. It's just a little tree but his eyes were so big when he saw it. He had to go around and look at every santa and snowman. This is the first year for him to be so vocal and excited. I love it!

Goodbye Glasses

I'm getting lasik - After years of holding off for this, my husband just set up a flex spending account through work where I can get Lasik done in January. I've worn glasses since grade school. I can't believe I will be seeing without them. I'm really excited!!

Weekend

Pete had plans with some buddies so Chase and I bought out the blankets on the floor and camped out with pizza and a movie. We ordered a free movie off on-demand...BARNEY... he loves Barney. Pete's off the rest of the weekend and just trying to decide what we're doing.

First visit to Busch Stadium

Chase had so much fun! One of Pete's clients backed out at the last minute so he had an extra tix. When we first got there, Chase's eyes were so big and a total glaze. He quickly got right into it too and was cheering and dancing and screaming...YAH!!! COME ON!!! We went to the play area before we left and I think he made a few girlriends there too. (ha-ha)This morning he said, "Can we go to the ballpark mommy?" I know he's only 2 but I think he'll remember that moment for a long time.
