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.

names

paper boy, beckett boy, reed, graham, anders....so far those are the names that Little Dude has suggeseted. She thinks she wants a little brother. Oh, if only she knew what brothers are like before she made that wish - but maybe a little brother will be different from a big brother.....

Autumn Pics

they would NOT hold still for the shot we wanted!!!! Shake that booty girls!

If there is a camera around, she will not smile normally - just forced little grins....just like her dad.

what can i say - she loves the camera - well at least for a little while, and when she is done, she is done!

While the Mayor's sis was here, she took some great pics of my kids - thanks so much! I love them!

check yes or no

ahhh!!!! you know --the george straight song. well Little Dude got her first "check yes or no" note! ahhhhh!!! she's too little!

Corn maze and pumpkins

The mayor's sister was here visiting and we had a great time - I wish we could have seen more of her and the fam. I realized after she left, I didn't have many pictures, (I looked at my camera and haven't taken any pictures for the past month!) here are a few from out trip to the pumpkin patch and corn maze! Little Dude can't wait to go back to the corn maze, she wants to take the mayor and pawpaw - are you up for it? She loved it! We ended up turning around and coming out the "in" cause Little Bit had to go potty, but it was still fun. I think Little Dude and I coudl have stayed in there for quite a long time - she loved choosing which direction to go, even if we did end up going in circles!
