Halloween decor

It's a good thing I have talented, creative friends who literally put everything in front of me to make cute things or my house would be pretty drab!
Aren't these cool!

Preschool Halloween Party

If I have failed to mention it, Tommy loves Thomas the tank engine.  Imagine his joy when he saw this costume!

Roll failure

Make rolls Melanie.  They are sooo easy.
I eventually figured it out.  NOT easy fyi.

Tommy

Tommy can frequently be seen in this position, or something similar.  (Especially at the end of the day.)

Another common sight.

Preschool field trip to Chic fil A.  When told to smile this is the face he will give you.
Mud.  The kid LOVES mud.
He also LOVES the car wash.
Seriously.  If you want to make him happy....take him to the car wash.
He asks daily for this 'treat.'
A boy, his dog...
and his mud pit.  What more could he ask for?
Oh...a little siesta in the sun.
Potty training powdered doughnut face.
Side note...he HATES pants.
He LOVES sleeping in.
He HATES waking up.
Did I mention he hates pants...and loves trains...especially when mud is involved.

Ava

Fun at the pool.

Ava loves activity days!

Soccer!!!
She is a pretty darn good player!
Ava's new bed.  Test run in the living room...because, why not!
Fun hair do!

Isabelle

So excited to get her eyebrows waxed.
Funny how quickly that excitement fades.

Enjoying her new room.

Choir performance.

Not to big to walk with her daddy...so sweet!

Principle's list.  Woot woot!





I made it onto the Teepee!!

Grandma Tee had a teepee that all us grandkids played in, and she wrote all of their names on it.  Well, almost all of the grandkids names!  She forgot one fairly important granddaughter.  When she died, we discovered this slight (not so slight) oversight.  (I'm not even the LAST grandchild for goodness sake!)  My older brother got the teepee, and for the past 12 years it has been without its crowning glory.  The shame.  My brother moved here to Arizona just around the corner from me this summer, and while unpacking, rediscovered this little jewel.  I took it upon myself to make it the true heirloom it was meant to be!  That's right....behold it in all its splendor!!!
