Battle scars

Diara got her first knot on her forehead yesterday. She was rolling around on the floor and hit her head on our cable box, which isn't something new since she does that pretty often, but I guess she hit and edge and her forehead now has this dime sized bump that sticks off her head. Ever try to put ice on a 9 month old's head? That's not an easy task. It kind of reminds me of bull riding because it's an accomplishment if you can keep the ice in place for 8 seconds straight.

We just ordered our couch from amazon.com and I'm SO excited to get it. Finally, we'll have some furniture in our living room. Maybe we can actually have people over with out being embarrassed that we have no where to sit. It was a really great buy too. It came with the decorative pillows and the ottoman. This place is going to feel a little more like a home instead of a roof over our head, and it's just in time for the holidays. (This isn't our house...this is just the picture from the website. I'll try to remember to take a picture once we get it all set up.)



Speaking of the holidays, we still haven't gotten a costume for D. Chris has 24 hour duty that day so we won't even really get to do anything fun, but maybe Chris can take her trick-or-treating on his dinner break. I think she'll like to see all of the other kids around here dressed up at the very least. I just can't wait until Halloween is over so I can start buying Christmas decorations and such. I saw they were stocking Wal-mart this weekend when I got groceries and I just can't help but have some holiday cheer already. I wonder how Chris will take listening to Christmas music for the next 2 months....
