TRee TiMe

Here is our cute tree. This year we decided to go a little girly. It is mostly pink and purple with a little lime green and a bunch of glitter. Pictures never do it justice, but I may take a few close-ups so you can see the detail. And a big thanks to my mom for the great tree. It sure looks real, now if they could just make them smell.

Turkey

Here is Eric's Turkey that he woke up at 3:30 to put out on the smoker. It was great and super moist. We soaked it for 11 hours in a brine prior to cooking it.
We had a quiet dinner with just my Parents due to the fact that Desiree' had her baby the day before.

Dominos and Butt Cracks

A few weeks ago the girls were playing with the domino's on the tile floor before Dad got home from work. They like to try and make a train that runs into the door so that when he opens it they all tip over. Maycee likes to help a little too much and this night Dad got home before they were done so they took them in the bedroom and spelled things and stacked them up til they tipped over.
It was just so funny to see that both of the girls' butt-cracks were showing as they sat. I couldn't help but take a picture.

This is what Brylee did while they played. She found a cucumber and she likes to play with her crib.

FiRe PiT

Eric has been a little frustrated with this project we took on, but with all his hard and not so hard work it is now working.......with a special thanks to BJ. Our friend BJ has been helping us a ton in our backyard and we'd never be this far without his help.

Trick or Treat ~ Pumpkins

Oh what a week.......here are the rest of our Halloween pictures.....FINALLY.

This is my Boss Barb and I at our work Halloween luncheon. We were the flash dance girls.

This is Courtney, she had the cutest "Pirate" dress. She didn't have any accessories with her so she didn't look too much like a pirate, but it was a great outfit.

Pumpkin carving.....Eric the pumpkin killer. The girls had fun cleaning out the pumpkins. That was all I could take in one night. The next day grandpa and grandma came out and helped carve out the faces.

Trick or Treating was handled by Grandpa. He even dressed up to take them out after he scared them of course. They had a great time and we have way too much candy. Brylee really wanted some candy.

She really enjoyed her first sucker. She only had it for a few minutes, but boy was she messy.

We have grass!!

Thanks to my great and wonderful husband while I was off with the kids having fun at Halloween parties he worked hard to get the grass in. There were just a few spots we needed to put pieces in, but that's the easy part. At least it would have been if it didn't snow. The grass has been covered by the lovely white stuff for three days now.....guess that takes care of the watering!

Halloween Time

The Kiddo's

This is definitely one of the hardest pictures to take, especially when they don't want to be doing this. It was the best I could get.

Brylee as a pretty butterfly.

Just a short clip of what it takes to try to get a picture!

Party Number One for the weekend. My friends and I get together for our annual kids party.

Black Island Farm....Grandma's treat for Halloween.

Party Number Two. My families Annual Pumpkin Party. This is where we get messy with pumpkin guts.

Car Seat Cover

I just had to add this cute picture of Brylee sleeping on my bed holding onto her binky as it is falling out of her mouth.
I have seen these car seat covers around and thought they were very cute. Desiree's friend bought one for her and the pattern and was kind enough to let me have a copy of it to make my own. Of course I had to change a few things to make it the way I wanted, but I love how it turned out.

Sharing Rooms

It finally happened we moved Brylee out of our room last night and into Maycee's. I only had to get up four times. Maycee stirred a little the second time and woke up the third time and needed her binky too. She said "why does she have to cry so much?" All in all it was a good night. Each time they both went back to sleep and after I turned Brylee over on her belly she didn't wake up again. Yes, my baby sleeps on her belly. You can curse me if you would like....she has done this since about a month old and it's amazing, she is still here! (Note the sarcasm) Eric was not a bit thrilled with the idea of moving her. He said that this is the last time we were going to get to have this and if he had it his way Maycee and Brylee both would still sleep in our room. I am grateful however to have my room back and also thankful to Eric's parents for swapping cribs with us so we could have a nice white one that matched Maycee's bedroom set better.
