Halloween

Our little skunk managed to sample every sucker in her pumpkin before being hauled (literally) off to bed.

Aurora

(love the addition of the pink bow - a nice touch)
Unfortunately, her night didn't end as happily as it began. Her princess slippers gave her a bloody toe while trick or treating. Can you say DRAMA? But she survived, with the help of her best friend Emma, and she still has a pumpkin full of candy to show for it.

The Magic of Sleeping Beauty

Today I bought this:

(the movie, not the child)

And while walking through the store I heard this:

"Mom, you are so nice."

"You are the best mom ever."

"This is the best day ever."

And I'm thinking it's money well spent.

And to those who say money can't buy everything, I'm thinking it sure can help us survive a trip to Wal Mart.

I'm also thinking Addie has learned the art of positive reinforcement . . . and it's working.

(Wow, I've been doing a lot of thinking.)

Do You Believe In Miracles?

He's on a roll

Tulips, Lilies, AND Gerbera Daisies. Impressive. Thanks Aric!

Story time

Can your hair do this?

Didn't think so.

Mail Call

The source of a lot of excitement around here for Addie and Megan (I'm sure Olivia loved her card too). Well done Aric.

Poor Megan

Got kicked out of nursery (apparently she has pink eye - oops)

Whacked her face against the edge of Addie's bed

Took a nose dive off a folding chair

And I think she swallowed a bead, but I can't confirm that . . . yet.

Greetings from Olivia

Hair is lighter
Cheeks are fuller
Already outgrowing her 3 month clothes
(Hey Brina, check out that cute quilt in the background.)

When wild bows attack

Wouldn't it be nice to be four?

Pre Deployment Brief

Items covered:
1. How to use the trimmer and edger
2. How to mow the lawn
3. How to check the oil
4. How to build killer calves. Uh...She taught me that one.

Run girls, run!

Is this all you've got!

Labor Day

We went for a drive to get out of the house on Labor Day. We drove for about an hour, then we found this great little mexican restaurant. You have to try it.

Megan loved the authentic cuisine.

On the way home we found some go-carts. Addie was a little apprehensive about the ride.

Time to "shake and bake"!

Olivia's Blessing

We blessed Olivia on August 3. She seems twice as big now, but here is a picture of her in her super cute dress that day. (Thanks for the tip, Shauna.)
