1. Family pictures. Every year, we do family pictures with the fabulous Amber Byrd. And every year, I overly stress over what to dress every in for the pictures. I know it sounds RIDICULOUS. I have already started thinking about outfits for the day and it isn't for a few weeks. We use these pics as our Christmas card and in several frames throughout the house. My good friend pointed out that it is harder for me with two boys close in age because I don't know if I should coordinate them...or match them....

So anyway... I have been running colors through my mind lately of what would look good all together. I was thinking navy on the boys and then pink on me... but maybe not. We are doing them in November, so it could be cooler outside-- but, as in years past, a heat wave could hit that day and it could be steamy. Guess we will see what we come up with! I will be making a run to the outlets, I believe...
2. Christmas shopping. I am NEVER someone who starts shopping for Christmas early. I usually wait until after Thanksgiving to even begin making my lists. Today, I was driving down the road and though" that would be a great gift for _______" so I got out the pad of paper in my purse and wrote it down. Then I pulled into a parking lot and wrote out even more ideas and people. This should be helpful...but it stresses me out even more! I see how much money this is and it freaks me out. I always wish that I was a year-round shopper so I didn't spend so much money in the month of December...but I don't function that way. Oh well. The gifts that I thought of are good ones... so I am excited.
3. This is totally random-- hence the title of the post: I made Mix and Match Mama's Tex Mex Chicken and Rice soup this week and it is delicious..... I left out the rice and added more cheese. I was chowing down... it can't be that bad for me, right? Nothing in there is too bad...at least that's what I am telling myself to justify having two (BIG) servings.
4. I also made Shay's monster munch (yes, I called her by her first name. We tight.). Let me tell you. It is dangerous. It is so so good. I feel like I have gained 4 pounds just this week from eating that stuff. It is finally gone today. I considered making a huge batch and then putting it in baggies with a cute ribbon for a bunch of friends, but I don't trust myself to make it again...I don't think I have the will power to not eat it all. It's that good. Dangerous, I tell ya.
5. As I have mentioned, Cal is playing in a different soccer league this season. They passed out the team sweatshirts at practice on Wednesday-- they are sooo nice. They even have their last names monogrammed on the chest. He was excited and even slept in the sweatshirt Wednesday night!
6. My eating is out of control lately. I can't stop. And my weight is showing it. Ugh. I need to get myself together! I know a lot of this is life post vacation, but COME ON! It is helpful to vent. I saw a post on instagram saying "I want someone to follow me around all day and knock the bad food choices out of my hand..." I really do. I actually want ME to be able to knock those bad choices out of my own hand...but, well, I don't...so...
That's it for random-ness today! Y'all got any random for me? I sure hope so. I love some random...
