random randomness....

1.)

it has been nice having jon home. he babysits matix during the day and at night while i do homework (and is finally getting used to me not being available to hangout) we have been hanging out with our "couple friends" { aka layne and tom and paris and lisa} on the weekend, which has been fun since i was more involved with my "single ladies" { aka the megleys} during our 6 month separation. (i.miss.them)

2.)

jon has been home for less than 2 weeks, and already found a job! it was his first interview and they basically hired him on the spot. {go babe} He has never really served before but he seems to think it will be a piece of cake. {hopefully}

3.)

i love fall. and walks. and weather that makes walks bearable. since jon has been home, we have been going on walks to the church park across the street. matix loves it. and its fun to spend time together with him.

4.) jons best friend zack got him a ps3 as a "welcome home present." what a nice best friend huh? my thoughts exactly. message to all my best friends out there: I want sweet presents too! jk.

anyways jon and matix "play" together. and make the same sweet faces while doing so. awesome i know. it is pretty cute, but i am a little bit bias.

5.)

i have pretty much decided that this is what we are going to be next year for halloween. so awesome. so embarrassing. so...perfect! i can't wait.this gives me a little over a year to...
a.) convince jon to wear it with us.
b.) talk it up so matix will like it and
c.) learn to be an expert sewer by then so i can actually make it. { ya right }

6.) speaking of costumes...megs found me this sweet monkey costume to help with matix's abu creation.

i am happy to report that....
a.) the fabric is bought. { check}
b.) aladdins pants are made { check}
c.) abu's vest is made { check}
however, there is still quite a bit to go..but we still have a few weeks. yay! i cant wait.

7.) a long long time ago my friend chloe convinced me to buy this super vintage, super old, super grandma dress at goodwill. but it had potential. ya maybe for her. i suck at "envisioning bigger and better things" well.. i never had a chance to get together with her to help me 'modify' it so after weeks and months and months of never being able to wear my sweet $3 vintage purchase, i finally decided to cut it up on a whim in 5 seconds one sunday morning before church. i turned it into a cute skirt/dress! i love it. (i still need to add elastic into the top..good thing the belt/bra did a good job holding it in place..esp for britney spears :)) but i love it. yay for chloe.

(this is the skirt part of the original dress...the top was a total flowy, long sleeved wierd thing. in fact, i think my mom might have the exact same dress somewhere in her closet.{sorry mom}

8.) dirty car+2 cute boys=one sexy car wash (and a nice way to save some cash...)



9.) matix is growing up more than i could ever imagine. and is definitely a little boy. with little boy interests...

(ps...he can now locate his hair, eyes, nose, mouth, toes and bellybutton on command.)




...other than that..school sucks. and midterms suck even more... {only 2 more months!!}
