Birthdays and other stuffs

September is a big birthday month. Today is Nanny's and tomorrow is Ryan's. Later this month, my sister Valerie and I turn one year older. Crazy stuff!

Look what I made nanny. It's a pincushion!

And, while I am talking about Nanny, she, Boppa and my grandmother have been teaching me how to garden. I didn't kill much this year! haha...as a matter of fact, look at this:

Not bad! It looks even prettier today because the roses have bloomed some more. I am improving...last year I killed everything in that box but some phlox.

Oh, and tomorrow we are having a garage sale along with a couple other families. If you want, come buy stuff or just come visit! You can see miss monkey doing stuff like this:

You can go home now, Murphy.

So, guess what? I was driving home from kali when some dude's freaking exhaust pipe fell off his car. I couldn't miss it because of cars around me. After I realized that something was wrong, I got off the interstate, made it to a gas station and this is what I saw:

I had forgotten to leave the carseat with Mike but fortunately Donnie was nearby and was able to help me out. Plus it was dark and I was glad to have someone I knew because I just didn't feel like getting robbed or something. :/

So, now I have a donut on the car and a tire with about 6 holes in it in the trunk.

An exciting morning so far...

So yeah, fun morning today. When I woke up and went to get Autumn for her diaper change I went in and found her like this (you can see more pics of her after clicking on this one):

Quasimodo Effect

How did this happen, you ask? Well I had told her the night before to stop throwing her food on the floor and she just wouldn't listen. So I had to smack some...

No no. Apparently she got bitten by a mosquito right on her eyelid while we were outside in the yard late yesterday afternoon. But the doctor is pretty sure she's going to be just fine after a little benadryl and some hydrocortizone cream. Thankfully it hasn't been hurting her or anything as she's been acting perfectly normal all day so far.

But man, it was just about the most pitiful thing I've seen in quite some time. Poor little quasimodo...
