[Precious MOMents!]

Gah! Favorite picture of Noah to date! We went back to the mall & they gave us the proofs right away. We also hit up Buy, Buy, Baby & Outback. Saturday I went foodshopping while Steve & DJ did some housework, Sunday we ate @ Steve's mom's house-Pork Roast & yesterday DJ & I went to the mall to pick up a jacket he had on order, I got a Jamba Juice & a couple of perks for checking in on Foursquare. Last night we had an AWESOME dinner! Bacon wrapped steak medalions, sauteed mushrooms/onions & Chicken Brocolli noodles. So good! Tonight is Taco Tuesday. Tomorrow we bring my brother to my aunt's for a few days. If you get a receipt from the local malls on Black Friday, you get 20% off bill @ Park East & I have been wanting Steve to try it. So that's our plan for now. If its not too crazy, that's when we will get Noah's picture with Santa. I think he will wear this red Jingle Bell Rocker shirt for it. Next week Sara & I plan to do our ornament craft. I have all the Holiday cards signed, sealed & waiting to be delivered. Got some new videos of Noah. He says "Sshh, tattoo, thank you, Noah & his buddy Connor (those 2 sound more like "Narney" but that's how he says it!) Must give Sara credit for the title, she saw something that said MOMents & I think its too cute! Thanksgiving we're spending with Steve's side & leftovers for lunch on my side Friday. I am also going with the triplets to see Tangled one day this weekend. I made both Noah's 18m appt & my yearly Gyn on the same day so only one trip out to PA. Time to get ready for naptime.

[I'll Stop the World & Melt with you]

Thats been my phrase for the last 24 hours because last night Steve & I went to the movies to see Unstoppable & when I was in the bathroom this song was on so I texted him with this lyric & he was in the men's room & heard it too so texted back "I feel the difference & its getting better all the time". I don't know why I think that is so cute but I do! Anyways, I am a little late with the updates, also behind on my 365 but too lazy to upload the most recent batch. Lets go back to last week..Thursday, Noah & I went to Sara's. We went together to get Noah's haircut. The lady didn't do that great, but Noah wasn't acting that great either. He was so good last time, I was surprised he was so upset. Then again, I believe it was all about timing and an hour earlier or later could've been different. We also hit up Kidstowne & went down the slides with the boys & let them roam freely. We ate a yummy meal & called it a day. Later on @ night Steve got a tattoo done by my sister in law's boyfriend of our wedding date. Its cool, its like a math problem (idk how to make a fraction on the computer to really describe it) Friday we went to get our Holiday pictures taken. I am happy how everything turned out besides the fact that my proofs have yet to be mailed to me a week later! It has always been by the next day. So tomorrow we're going there in person since the last 7 phone calls didn't get anything accomplished! Friday night was fun, we went Ice Skating. It was my first time in 10 years or so & Steve's first time. I knew he would be good since he is an awesome rollerblader. We took Stevie & my brother also & had lots of laughs. When we got home we were still pretty pumped so Steve took out his rollerblades & DJ took out his bike & we took turns riding & having running relays in the parking lot accross the street. On Saturday myself, Noah & Stevie went to Target & I got a bunch of Christmas shopping done. Noah is pretty much set, maybe something to open since I can't really wrap the potty or Zainy Zoo. For his stocking; a penguin "sippy sip" (SO cute when Noah says this!) a turtle loofa for the bath, a Singamajig & another fork/spoon set. I also got him Pj's to wear Christmas Eve. I let Stevie pick out a couple things to save for Christmas as well as a book to take home that day. We got the triplets Cinderella's Magical Vanity-I can't wait to see their reaction! Devlin got some Toy Story 3 Action Links & Activity Book. Didn't do much this week, stayed in for the most part but like I said I will be out tomorrow to go back to the mall for my proofs, I need to get stamps for the Christmas Cards & will probably do a food shop. Alrighty, I am probably leaving out a bunch but I have Vampire Diaries & Grey's I can watch before bed. Night!

[Merry Monday!]

Beauty Mates! Not too much new since my last update. Thursday Sara came to see the house-we didn't get to do a walk through & have me explain all my ideas but we went to this new place called Park East. We tried new sushi, really nice place & the best part was when we checked in on Foursquare we got 10% off the bill..that or the fried banana dessert! I will go back with Steve or maybe Danielle when she comes now that we're settled. After we tried desperatly to cause trouble or find people to hangout with but guess Thursday nights around these parts are pretty dead. She has a few local places by her that she wants us to try so we're going to try to have a Mom's night out at least once a month, also have to meet up for playdates as well. Saturday I met up with Danielle for lunch & shopping. I was considering getting a pair of Uggs but when I went to Old Navy they had ones SO similiar for 34 oppose to 140 so I snagged them. I like them for their looks, I don't need a pricy name tag a long with it, over that! I wore them yesterday & they were really comfy. Steve came to my Grandma's on the clock to do some work for her. It was cool seeing him work & Noah wore dad's safety vest. While there my mom & Grandma asked for Noah's Christmas List. Last night we ate @ Donna's for Elyse's Birthday Dinner. I am really loving getting to see them all the time. I scheduled our Picture People Appointment for Friday before Stevie gets his braces on the following week. I am happy to do it so early because Santa is already out in the mall & it was a madhouse, seems Christmas is coming even earlier this year. I also have a cute idea for our Christmas Cards if I can get Steve to play along with it. Have lots of shows to catch up on so I am going to get going. Bye, Bye!

[Happy Hal10weekend..and a whole lot more!]

Reeewwwwwwwind..before I get to Halloween let's pick up where I left off. Friday Oct 22 Steve, Noah & I went to the mall on the quest to find me the perfect dress for Raigan's wedding. This was the first wedding/reason to dress up since before I was pregnant so I really just wanted to feel good. After searching high & low I accomplished this by finding something very different & unique. We ate @ PF Changs for lunch & left there 47 bucks richer since the chicken lettuce wraps literally broke Steve's tooth! Now he has to go to the dentist on their dime & its taking a long time waiting to talk to their insurance company & such. Wedding was beautiful, as was the couple. As the week went on we went on a double date with Elyse, my sister in law & her boyfriend. Her & I have always been close but now we're besties talking all through out the day, everyday. I am enjoying being so close to my in law's & my neices. We saw Catfish & then snuck in to see Paranormal Activity. I was really scared to do this..I don't break rules often! I also went with her to start looking for places for her & the girls to move in to.Thursday, was our Roll n Treat Stroller Stride class. He had the best costume if I may say so & mom's were asking to take pictures and that they wanted to "eat him up with a spoon!" This Friday, we were supposed to go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show but it was sold out. My other sister in law Ashley was upset about it & really wanted to do something, she had free passes to the movies so just her & I saw Hereafter. Saturday, we got our tickets in advance & went to the show. WOW. Crazy! It was very sexual, graphic & a good time. Out of a sold out show I, Kristi, won first prize for costume (Crayola Crayon lol) I won a Jason doll but still it was exciting beating out Lady Gaga, Snookie & more! You have to do a "Virgin" challenge if it is your first time there, get up dance & run around. I don't see how people go every weekend but I would go again for my Birthday or something. My closet is done, we are really about 90% done with everything there is to do here. I LOVE it! It has a built in desk with a light that I am working at as we speak. Finally, Halloween. We were up & out the door by noon. First stop was to Raigan's new place & we stayed for about an hour. It was their first time meeting Noah & they adored him. They said countless times that he is so perfect & just what they hope for when their first baby is due this May. A lot of my friends are pregnant & due around the same time I was..wonder if I should lend out any of my maternity clothes? Another busy weekend ahead, Friday trying out this new place Park East with Sara. Will only be the second time that we go out to eat, take our time & have some drinks since the boys. Saturday, I am having lunch & hanging out with Danielle. Ok, feels good to be caught up on this, 365 Blog, pictures etc..now off to get caught up on shows before Bean wakes up.
