This weekend was awesome!

Saturday we spent shopping for Ian's party which ended up costing us about $300 (for just the food!) and visiting family. In the afternoon Sean worked in the Man Cave while I studied, and then we watched a movie. Sean went to bed and I p stayed awake with Ian until around 11pm, which then ended up with Ian climbing in to bed with me when I went in. Ian spent the night grinding his teeth and throwing his limbs all over me, so I gave up and got up this morning at 4:30am.

Sean and I had coffee until a family friend came over to ride with Sean to the park. I did laundry until Ian woke up, then the two of us headed to the park to set up for his party.

What a blast! We had about 20 adults and 12 kids so there was quite a crowd. There was a lot of eating, a lot of laughter, and some wonderful memories made. The kids had a blast playing on the playground and in the sand, and I had fish-type crafts for them to make (Ian chose a fish theme. What a surprise). Ian got tons of gifts, and I was proud of him for remembering to say his Thank-you's to people!

Honestly, we've had the best luck every year (er, except for the year we had to cancel because he was sick). The weather is always beautiful and we always have a great time... I am so blessed that so many people care about my son! Every year I am awed by the number of people that come to celebrate the day with us, and I find myself getting choked up when I look around and see the outpouring to love. It's days like this that my heart feels completely full and happy.

I have pictures to upload when my PC stops being a butt-head. Probably tomorrow!

I am so happy I watched the debate last night: it only increased my desire to vote Republican.

It's funny how people's views can change so drastically in such a short amount of time. Granted, the topics were focused on the war and on Russia, but I got an idea of how wishy-washy Obama is. I vaguely remember him stating that he was against the war and wanted to pull our troops out ASAP, but as of last night that view is altered quite a bit!

I am also impressed by McCain's voting record (something Obama doesn't have since he can't seem to find his way into session!), as well as his experience through the years. In a time when our Country is in such a precarious state, I am hoping that someone with strong political ties and knowledge of political endeavors is put in to office.

I'm terrified of what will be if someone with little experience is standing as our Commander and Chief...

I have a good friend from New Jersey (strangely enough she's from the same area my mom grew up in!) and I just spent about 30 minutes catching up with her. We discussed my pregnancy and stuff and I mentioned how Sean and I are in agreement that I can look into a breast lift when I'm finished breastfeeding Bug. I wanted to get one before but knew it would be stupid to do if I planned to breastfeed another child...

Anyway, my friend mentioned New Jersey breast augmentation that she's been looking into herself. I admit I'm jealous because she's about 10 steps ahead of me, but I swear it's something I'm going to do as soon as possible. I know the pros and cons, and I think it's something that will make me feel better about myself. I know my back won't hurt as much, that's for sure!
