{Yays and Boos}

YAY:I am Aunt for the third time. My brother Jim and his wife Cristy welcomed a new baby girl into the world on Tuesday. Congratulations guys...she's beautiful! Just look at those cheeks!
BOO:I am too far away to visit, hold her and help Cristy and Jim out. I can't wait to meet her next month.YAY:I snagged the special Holiday issue from Martha yesterday. It gave me so many ideas for neighbor gifts this year. I was a little disappointed however that a lot of the 150 ideas in the issue were just old ones from past magazines, which I have, but there were some new ones thrown in there as well.
BOO:Trying to find time to do something cool for neighbor gifts this year. I loved last years (view HERE), but can't do that again...can I? Though the hand rolling of the beeswax was weirdly calming to me, do I even have time this year? We'll see...YAY:Got my awesome green pea coat and Ella's new winter coat for 50% off HERE on Friday! (Ella took this picture with my camera...after five or so failed attempts of just my head or the wall she got a decent shot, don't mind the face I didn't know when she would be pressing the button :). I was very afraid for my camera - it's heavy. Ella couldn't hold it up for very long. But she thought it was cool to get to use my camera :P).
BOO:I just might have to go back and get the pink one. Why is that a boo...not for me...more so for Bret.YAY:For little notes to be seen/read when I come down in the morning.
BOO:Sadly, with Bret's rotation and studying for boards this is the form of communication we have at the moment.YAY:Costco has their seasonal chicken pot pies! I dare say they are better than any homemade pot pie I have ever tasted. I'm not a big pot pie fan, but for some reason I love this one!
BOO:They are so stink'n huge! Looks like we'll be having leftovers for lunch and dinner today.YAY:Scored a new pair of flats a la Target. Cute, very affordable and easy to slip on and off when running to take my kids to school, or heading to the grocery store.
BOO:Still on the look out for that perfect brown boot and black wedge shoe. Anyone wanna point me in a direction as to where to find them?YAY:Bret had a rare moment on Saturday where he was able to take a break and spend some needed one on one time with Mailee. She's just so different when she's by herself and not with Ella. I felt like I was intruding by taking this picture, but I had to document this special time.
BOO:One on one time with any of us is hard to come by. Seriously can't wait until this whole Veterinary school is over!YAY:We had our first little bit of snow last Friday.
BOO:We had our first little bit of snow last Friday.

Shar said...

Congrats on being an aunt again!

No boo for that. Maybe my credit card statement in a month?

Courtney said...

Awesome green coat! I love it!! I'm not going to get into my yays and boos right now, they are mostly boos!!

Rochelle said...

I totally want a coat like that in pink... I've been thinking about it ever since I read your blog this morning! (it's how I start my day.. seriously!)

Quinn and Kristan said...

Congrats to your brother and his wife!

I have been watching and waiting for the coats at Old Navy to go down again. I have to to be sneaky about getting another one. Quinn wasn't exactly excited about me getting the pink one in the first place. I love them though! They are so warm too!

YAY it is almost Friday!!!

Anna said...

Cute baby.
Boo about lack of one on one time with us too. Life is too crazy.

Andrea said...

Congrats to your brother and wife and their adorable chubby cheeks baby.

I have a great big BOO!! I went to Old Navy yesterday to get the blue/teal coat...and was VERY bugged that the only sizes left were XS and S. Ya, I was really irritated. And the only coat left in my size was the brown one. I might have to look online to see if they have any M left in the blue.
Anyway, enough complaining.

YAY for pretzel goldfish (thanks to you) my kids dig those little critters. YAY that it's date night this Fri. for Steve and I.(its been awhile)
And finally YAY for YOU Erica! You look smokin' HOT in that pic in your green coat.

Brielle said...

I'm in love with your new coat--Especially at 50% off!

Yay--I'm going to go check that out at our Old Navy after the kids get up.

Boo--I'd probably have to hide it from my husband and then wait to wear it for a few weeks and when he asks "where did that coat come from?" I'd say "oh, I got this thing forever ago."

mommyholly said...

Ooooh congrats, Auntie!!! :) And that pea coat and the shoes are SO cute... I may have to do a bit of shopping for myself hehe!! I am actually in desperate need of some new cute flats! xo!

Sarah said...

Yay for Cristy and Jim and their beautiful new baby girl! Those cheeks look absolutely delicious. Oh my girls are so big! Maybe I am ready for another one... I guess I better be at this point! ;)

You look so hot in that picture. I love that you had Ella take it, that is so fun. That green looks hot on you! Such a cute coat.

Yay: for fabulous sales! PBK has their darling Thanksgiving stuff 50%-75% off and we definitely got some fun stuff.
Boo: My children never want to leave that store! They could play with the kitchen and doll houses forever. I have to drag them out of there and it's usually slightly embarrassing...

Yay: Only two weeks until Thanksgiving!!! I am so excited for my family to come out here.
Boo: I had better start cleaning my house!

YAY: Twilight is out in a week!!!!
Boo: I have to see it sans Erica. I so wish we could see it together!

Megan said...

I just want to smooch those chubby cheeks!! Congrats!!

Yay for doing crafts!! I am a little busy bee getting ready for Christmas!

Boo I am a little busy bee getting ready for Christmas therefore have neglected my house/wifey duties!!

I love my MAC because it's something different! It's all in one and doesn't take up space! I just seems to function so much better than my old PC. It took a little while to get used to but all in all...I want to marry it. It's beautiful!! I need some photshop tips...I am going to email you!!

Megan said...

Boo: It rained all day today so we played inside and listened to the scary wind

Yay: For new winter coats. It looks great on you.

Boo: I always want to wear green but it would make me look green do to my fair white skin.

Carly said...

Funny you should mention those Costco Chicken Pot Pies. I was debating getting one the other day and I just couldn't decide. Now I suppose with your recommendation I'll have to get one! :)

Mary said...

That peacoat is SO cute and you look darling in it. Also, nobody would complain about a repeat of the neighbor gifts -- the candles were awesome!

Lindsey said...
