So...

I really really suck. To distract you from that; look Eli!
Jason took this picture while I was at work. When I got home yesterday afternoon we had this conversation:
J: You should go look at the camera
Me: Why?
J: I took pictures of Eli you're not going to like two of them.
I took that to mean that they were going to be pictures of Eli smoking cigarettes, hanging out with strippers, drinking mountain dew, or wearing a disposable diaper. Thankfully Jason was just referring to Eli wearing daddy's Dolphin's hat. I mean it's gross but Eli makes it look good.

Big bear wrestling!! I brought my giant bears down from Eli's bedroom (they were presents from Jason when we were dating) the other day and he's decided they're excellent wrestling buddies. When he gets older maybe I'll get him one of these like his Uncle Marty had, http://www.tias.com/stores/gift/pictures/wwf1a.jpg, if he's lucky.

And I got new hair! I love it, it's the same color as Dencey's so that when I swap her for Eli it'll be easier to convince the cops that she really belongs me.

See how cute Dencey is? And she does not have the hissy fits that Eli's been having on a daily basis. Eli likes to abuse his adorable cousin by pushing her down. And then laughing. Mommy doesn't find it as funny as he does.

Of course then he does something like decide that he wants to wear socks on his hands for an hour and completely redeems himself! The kid infuriates and delights me.

General Malaise

I've been an exceptionally bad blogger. I'd like to make my apologies and excuses.
-I quit doing the casserole thing because it was a very calorie heavy venture, a lot of food was getting wasted, and I'm not the best with follow through.
-I've had an incredibly annoying cold for 12 days now. It fluctuates in severity but I haven't felt 100% for quite some time.
-I am broke and fretting over affording Christmas. I love to go over the top with presents and that's just not seeming like a possibility this year so I'm vexed.

See what a pout fest I am? It's best that I haven't been blogging. Here are two pics of Eli who's also been battling the never ending cold so please excuse the bleary eyed boy.
Eli decked out for a walk in the cold. He's wearing mommy's hat. It does look fabulous on him but I've since acquired to boy appropriate hats for him.

Eli loves football. The other day when Uncle Cory was visiting Eli fell asleep clutching his football. Not even two and already full of testosterone.
My picture taking has also been lacking. Eli was doing something incredibly cute the other day and I didn't have the energy to get the camera. Send vitamins.

Mr Yuck

They're doing construction at my office. The fumes are making me high and the drill noise is giving me a headache. I am annoyed. That is all.

A Brighter Future

Eli wants to know why I keep trying to get him to say Obama. And I tell him that hopefully Obama is going to be the president of our country for the next eight years. That if Obama's health care policy passes daddy can go to the doctor. Then I tell him about how countries around the world are cheering for the decision the people of his country made Nov 4th. Finally I tell him that the future looks brighter to me and that mommy is hoping that this means a better world for him to grow up in.

He still hasn't said Obama, but we've got lots of time.

KangaEli

Getting good pictures of Eli was not as easy as it was last year. I apologize, he never sits still now and my camera wasn't working well in the dark. Maybe I'll put the costume back on him and try again this weekend. Trying to get a picture of Seanie and Eli together before we headed out. Eli wasn't having any part of it when Seanie's toys were waiting to be thrown about.

Eli gets by with a little help from his friend.

I can haz candy?
KangaEli collapsed from all the excitement. Good thing the wagon has a belt!
He didn't even wake up when I transferred him back to the stroller.
He did however wake up at 3 am and get taken downstairs by daddy so mommy could sleep. And then daddy thought, "Hey why not give him a Halloween treat?". So he gave him mini oreos and a fun size Snickers bar. Do you want to take a guess at the next time Eli slept? I'll just tell you Eight pm Saturday. No more sugar for Eli.
