confirmed

Little Dude is happy. Little Bit is not. We will be adding a boy to our family in April! The girls have moved into the bigger bedroom and next up is painting their old room...we still need to decide on a color. And yes, we (I) will be taking advantage of the great deals on Friday!

she's mine

even though she looks and acts like the mayor, she's mine. As long as i can remember, everything was sorted by color. As a child, it was my crayons, and i had a HUGE tub of them. I wish i still had that tub - it was great, so many compartments, made by tupperware in that ugly 70's orange that is soo back in style! Still - even to this day, everything is sorted by color. that is how i roll...apparently so does she....this is how i found her "organizing, so they won't look ugly mom". you can kinda see the pile of beads behind her that she is still sorting. she stopped long enough for 1 - "but that's all mom" picture. thanks sweetie!

halloween

not one picture from halloween night is on my camera. Grrr.... these are from a party we went to last weekend...A cute "pink" (sort-of) witch and a cowgirl. I told the girls I wasn't buying costumes this year - they could be as creative as they wanted with what we had here. I was willing to buy a little something to add to their costume if needed, but it wasn't. I love Halloween, it's one of my favorite holidays to decorate for, but this year I just didn't get into it very much.
