Rewinding the Past Week

 This post is just a bunch of randomness.  I have taken pictures randomly with three different cameras and these are from two of them.  We have been very busy lately.  I have been working a ton around the house trying to get the house picked up and organized before Harper arrives.  I don't know if I will finish it or not but at least it is getting better=)  Michael has been working and working on the three budgets he has to get done before their presentation on Oct. 7th in Dallas.  I think he is a little stressed with all the work he has and the arrival of Harper sometime in the middle of it all.  You can say a prayer for all of our sanity;)  Eden has been keeping me very busy lately.  I think she has a sense of things changing around here because she has been SUPER CLINGY lately and cries EVERY time I leave her which is so not like her.  I go to Bunko and she cries because I'm leaving, I stay for GALS at church and she is crying because I'm not getting in the car with her and Michael.  It is the weirdest thing and I hope it passes soon.  She is very excited for Harper to get here and talks about her all the time and talks to her all the time.  It's the sweetest thing.

Last Saturday, we were out running a bunch of errands and Eden asked out of the blue to get her hair cut and we ran with it.  She loves to get hair cuts but she has been wanting her hair to stay long for a while now so when she said she would cut it, we did it.  The lady cut over three inches off and I wish it was more but Eden wouldn't go shorter.  She had a friend from church named Lily who got a short cut and she kept saying she didn't want to go that short.  Kind of funny.  The length has been great though and it looks so much better and doesn't tangle as bad.  Eden loves it too.

She got to pick the fire engine to sit in.  She always does a great job getting hair cuts and does exactly what they ask her to do.  Last week she also went back to the dentist for her 6 month check up and everything looked perfect again.  I am so thankful for that.

 After the hair cut she got to come home and put on her Arkansas uniform and get ready for the game.  She loves calling the Hogs and cheering.

 Eden reading quietly one morning all by herself.  She loves to read and I hope she always does.  It was the sweetest thing ever just to sit and watch her.

This past Saturday, Michael had to work so Eden and I ran up to Searcy for a quick trip.  We first stopped at Michael's Grandmother's because she turned 80 on Friday and we wanted to wish her a Happy Birthday and to visit for a little bit.  Then we headed over to my parents because my grandparent's from Kansas City were in town for the weekend.  We got to visit with them for the afternoon and then we headed home that evening.  My dad wanted to take Eden to the White County Fair to see all the animals so we went there for a little bit.  Eden loved it, of course. 

 Eden got to pet and feed the animals at the petting zoo.  She wasn't timid at all.

 Feeding the animals sliced carrots and they loved them.

 She loved getting to pet this pony and hold the rope.  She was acting so big.  She would be great on a farm.  She really enjoys animals and loved all the pigs, chickens, cows, and everything else around the farm.

 And of course we couldn't leave without riding the ponies.  She chose to do this over the other fair rides.  

Yesterday it rained and after church Eden wanted to play in the puddles.  She got all decked out and had a blast playing around in the water.  She is just so cute in all her rain gear from Granna and Gigi.  She did not want to come in for a nap because she was having to much fun.

One other thing that I wanted to remember real fast.  Right now in this moment of time, every day is Thursday for Eden.  It is so funny and I have know idea why she loves Thursday but she does.  She will say things like, "on Thursday I can do this" or "last Thursday this happened" even if it was yesterday.  It cracks Michael and I up.  It is the cutest thing ever and she doesn't care about any other days of the week.  She has also learned the Pledge of Allegiance and I will have to post that video soon.  It's adorable how she says it.
