My FirsT PonY

So here is what I get when I try to put a pony in her hair.

I was getting ready and she was standing on the stool in front of me and combing her hair and said "pony mommy". So I put one in.

Still not enough hair to do too good but I am sure it won't be long. And with some practice she might even hold still.

Just too cute not to share!

Dr. Appt

We had our 20 week ultrasound today and here are some of the cute pictures.

Does anyone else have this?? I woke up to some snow and it has been sowing off and on all day! We have not even raked up any leaves yet. I sure hope fall comes back to my house.

Work & Trunk or Treat

My work always has a "Chili Luncheon" for Halloween and encourages everyone to dress up. This year after making Maycee's tutu I thought it would be fun to make one for myself and two of the other girls agreed and we decided to be "Witches". We all had the same but different costume and we won the prize for "Best Overall" costume contest.

This is the owner and my office manager. She is 14 days away from delivery. I created her a X-ray film of an infant for her to wear and he was a Dr.

These are the all the witches of the office and the "Witch Dr." as we named him after this photo.
After work everyone gathered all there children and vehicles to do a Trunk or Treat for the Children at the Christmas Box House. It was very special to see all those kids and how happy they get to do something special like this that they would not otherwise be able to do. For the safety of the children no pictures were allowed so we took a moment before it started to get some photos. My friend and her boys joined us for the fun.

P.S. I found out the next morning that my office manager had her baby at 12:20 am. Congrats Terri and good luck with the new addition!

This is how Daddy Plays....

Eric lets Maycee get away with just about everything. Here they are in his truck that doesn't get played with ever. But she loves to sit in it drive. He put Kimberlens booster seat in the front so she could reach. Then she wanted the door shut and of course he did it.

Here I had out the face painting supplies for Kimberlen for her dance class and she wanted them so bad and I kept telling her no. Eric decided it wasn't that big of deal to paint her face and so he did. It turned out to be pretty messy and got all over. She would just smile at herself every time she looked in the mirror. It was hilarious. We found the best way to get most of it off is by taking off her shirt. That's were most of it ended up. Needless to say we put her right in the tub and Daddy even got in with her to help her get all washed off.
I think I better keep a closer look on the two of them while they play from now on.

And the After...

This is what our pumpkins looked like after the carving party. We gave a few away and I gained some gourds from my mom and dad. I still have one that is hollowed out that I did not finish. Hopefully it will get done today, or tomorrow.

Pumpkin Carving Party!

When I was younger my mom and her cousins would get all us kids together to carve pumpkins for Halloween. I have great memories of that tradition and wanting to keep my inner child alive I have started it again for my kids. This is the second annual Pumpkin Carving Party that I have set up at my moms house. We had a lot of fun this year with the little ones being bigger. I have a cousin who's baby is a month younger than mine and all the kids had fun playing together.

Here are the cute kids.

Maycee didn't really want to put her hands in the pumpkin. She would have just been happy to carry them around and she keep trying to hug them. She would pick up just a seed and that was okay for her too.

Kimberlen did pretty good at getting all the "guts" out but needed some assistance still and Grandma ended up carving out her flying witch, Twice. Thanks, mom.

Here is the end result. We had all kinds of of pumpkin faces when we were through.

Trying to get a good picture of the girls together was not going to happen. I think there were too many things going on to pay attention to the task at hand.

Thanks for the fun day everyone and for being the hostess Mom.

Harvest

So after the snow fell and then melted we decided it would be a good idea to harvest the rest of our garden. We still had a bunch of tomatoes and peppers and a few cucumbers and zucchini. These are the pumpkins that we grew. I thought I should take a picture of them before we cut them into jack 'o lanterns. I will post after the carving.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

I took the girls in for pictures in there costumes and this is what we came up with.....
