Poison Control

These last two days Nic and I have become familiar with calling Poison Control.

The first incident happened on Thursday.

Nixon and I were getting ready to leave when I look over and he has a bottle of Potassium vitamins open and the vitamins are all over the place.

I immediately call my doctor's office and they tell me to call poison control.

A really nice man named Mike answered and helped me.

Luckily Potassium is a really mild vitamin and the worst that could happen was that Nixon would have an upset stomach and throw up.

Luckily, that never happened.

The next incident happened yesterday, which was Friday.

Keep in mind that I had just called poison control the day before and spoke with Mike.

I'm at Target and I get a phone call from Nic.

I can tell there's panic in his voice.

He immediately tells me to call poison control.

So then I start to get really nervous.

I ask him why and he says that Nixon was holding a Black Widow and he doesn't know if he got bit or not.

I immediately start freaking out.

I am DEATHLY afraid of spiders.

So I call poison control and guess who answers???

MIKE!!!

Of course. He's probably thinking we neglect our child by now.

I tell him I spoke with him yesterday about my son Nixon and he's says, "yes I remember."

HA HA.

He then helps me once again and tells me what to do.

Luckily, once again, Nixon was ok.

He didn't get bit!!!!!

And apparently he's really lucky that he didn't get bit because Black Widow's are really aggressive spiders and they usually bite.

So Nic and I now have poison controls phone number saved in our phones.

It's a really good idea now that I think about it, especially with having an almost 2 year old little boy!!!!

Halloween Festivities

We have been pretty busy for the last little while doing some really fun things.

I LOVE this time of year.

The weather.

The colors.

All the fun festivities.

The fun parties.

All the yummy food.

Time with friends.

Time with family.

It's great!!!

We started out by carving pumpkins one night.

(sorry about the crappy iPhone pictures...I couldn't find my camera)

The top one is Nic's pumpkin.

This is my pumpkin.

Nixon LOVED the "punkins" lit up.

We had a girls night one night and went and saw Thriller.

We of course went to Cafe Rio for dinner first.

It was my first time seeing Thriller.

It was SO good.

I loved all the great dancing.

I love these girls.

We had a really fun time!!!

Here is the cutest little Woody ever.

Anyone who knows Nixon, knows that he LOVES Toy Story.

He loved his costume.

He did not want to take it off.

But it's a good thing that they are Woody pajamas because he can wear them whenever he wants now.

And he LOVES his new boots.

He wears them all the time now.

Momma and Woody.

This picture took a while to get.

He did not have time to sit and take pictures.

He loved his trick or treat bag.

Once he caught on that he got candy when he said trick or treat, he was all about it.

He's still carrying his bag around.

Nixon loves holding his cute little cousin Jude.

He gets so excited when he gets to hold him. (with our help of course)

We also had a really really fun party with all of our friends.

None of us wanted to dress up so we just had yummy food and played some super fun games.

I have no pictures from that party.

Hopefully someone else does.

Then on the actual day of Halloween, Josh and Meg and the kids came over and we had lots of fun.

We had some REALLY yummy food.

The kids played like crazy.

And the adults all visited and hung out.

It was a lot of fun!!!

Anyway, we had a lot of fun in October but I'm so excited for November to be here.

I'm excited for all the family time coming up.

And only 4 1/2 weeks until we get to meet Taytum!!!!!
