To warm you up

It is that time of year when we break out the christmas mugs and the whipped cream and start to enjoy a nice warm cup of Hot Coco. Something we learned this year is that Addison's new favorite word is COCO! She loves to drink coco so much. I thought of her when I saw this picture on someone blog.

One question?

Here it is.... Where am I supposed to sleep?

I came home from voting on Tuesday morning and found this. I thought I must be crazy to sleep with these crazy kids. I don't think much about it when I crawl in at 11:00pm but at 7 in the morning it doesn't look like so much fun!!!

Don't you love how Hanna is using Addison's butt as a pillow?

These were all taken in about a two minute time frame and you see how much they have moved!!!!

Trouble two and three!!

(Trouble one was at school)

They look like they are getting so much sleep at nap time today.

Macy's School Halloween Party

Macy wonderful eye makeup. I am sure that she is the only five year old that had these.

Macy's best friend Abby.

Mr. Taylor, Macy's Principal.

Halloween

After a very busy week of making five costumes, going to a ward party, two school party's, a 4Th Birthday, Trick or treating at the zoo and trick or treating with my sister and her kids I can say I am glad to be done!! Doesn't everyone love my hussy makeup. I went home and did my makeup after I drop Hanna off at school. When I walked in to her class room her eyes got so big and she said really loud " Mom, I love your makeup. You look so pretty!" I am glad she is not 16 and saying that. I still have some time to change her taste in makeup!!!!

A baby bumble bee Addison!

Macy loved to sing I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee song to her every time she put her costume on.

A Pretty Witch!

A Fairy Princess!

Make sure to floss!

At this time of the year with all of the candy that Addison has been eating she has made time in between tootsie rolls and suckers to floss!!!!!

Shake It Addie

Addison loves to dance. My favorite thing that she does is when she is sound asleep you can tell her to shake it and her little eyes will pop open and she will start to dance. On this day Hanna really did not want me to film Addie.

Beautiful Book Ends

My hubby came home this weekend and brought the girls and I some real nice surprises. The girls all got books and I got the Ann Geddes auto biography and these beautiful book ends. I think that they are so beautiful. He is so thoughtful to know that I love stones like these. Now I just have to find the perfect spot for them.

Our trip to Mac Queens

Addie and Ben. They stayed out of more trouble when they were in the wagon.

This tree is great for taking a family photo. They only bad thing is that the family is not so great for the photo. They get so tired of me asking them to smile.

Aunt Jenny was so good to climb up into the tree and toss the apples down to the kids. She did great until she tried to get down in one piece. All I can say is that she is a better mom them me for going up there.

We decided to walk into the picking area of the orchard. They kids were so tired by the time we were done and that bag was very heavy. The girls and I decided to make apple pie filling to freeze with the apples that we pick. It turned out so good!!!

Fall fun!!

It is that time of year again. The leafs start to change, it gets a little colder out, Jade starts to whine a little bit more (because of the cold and the fall outings that I make him go on!!!) and last but not least the time of year to go to the pumpkin patch. This year we went with Aunt Jenny and Aunt Shelia and all of our kids. As you can guess it was lots of fun!! Well the kids did think that it was a lot of fun so 6 out of 9 happy pumpkin pickers is not to bad. We woke up and got into our Halloween outfit, they humored me and did some cute smiles for the scrapbook and we headed out for a fun morning of family togetherness. The donuts were very tasty and the kids loved the hay ride. It was a little chilly out but that just makes for a better experience. I do love this time of year. I am definitely one that loves the change of the season.

Her perfect pumkin!

This is what you get when you go to the park with Hanna. She was playing and fell from about 5 feet down to the ground where she smashed her face on a little green stepping stone. Thankfully my friend Karen was down there with me and her husband is the fire chief of the little town that we live in. She called him up and he came to check it out. Once he got there he said that she really needed to have it checked. He called it in and did all the paperwork so I did not have to give my info six times. Thank goodness for friends. I don't know what I would have done with out Karen there, she took the kids well I went with Hanna in the ambulance. Hanna was so afraid and did not understand what was going on. Everything turned out okay and Hanna now has a new teddy bear that she loves so much. She named the teddy bear that the EMTs gave her Doctor Bear!!

Addison Potty Training

Well, here I go again. I am becoming a pro at this. Yes, we are starting the fun task that is knew as potty training. Addie came up to me the other day and said "Peeeeeee" I think that if you can tell me that you are wet then you can try to use the potty. Tonight she did it. I have been putting her on the potty in the morning, after naps and before bed. We started this on Saturday. It is late monday and I had left her to sit on the potty. Knowing that she might end up with her small bottom in the toilet water. Anyone with kids knows what I am talking about. As I was coming back in to the bathroom she was peeing!!!!! Happy Day. We will see how long this last. She is only 22 months old. I think that she is doing great for her age.

Vacation Swap and Fall Wreath

It is done! I signed up for the most fun fall apron swap. The theme for the swap was where you would love to have gone on vacation. My partner that I was given wanted to go to Martha's Vineyard. This is what I came up with. I love how the white picket fence turned out on the pocket.

My newest fall wreath for the front door. I hand painted the harvest letters. I really like how it turned out.
