Halloween 2009

I know it's late (and the top picture is small)....sorry! Hope you all had a great Halloween!! Ours was full of fun, full of candy, and full of smiles! Trying to think of costumes for the next adult party and looking forward to what costumes the girls will think of for next year :) They are so creative!

Canning Closet

We absolutely LOVE our new house! Not only is there more room, there's more storage!! My favorite closet is our "canning closet". It's so nice to have a place to put all the food we work so hard to store. Thank goodness canning is over (I'm ready for a break) but we're excited for next year's garden :) We still have a long way to go, but we're on our way!!

Five and Fabulous

Regan is FIVE!! What a fabulous birthday for a fabulous kid! She is super shy, but full of fun (especially when no one is watching) and tells the funniest jokes. The morning of her birthday we were having a big breakfast and she informed us that her name wasn't "Regan" it was "Birthday Girl"...so that was what we had to call her. She gave orders too! She told us to bark like a seal and meow like a cat (and her sisters did!) Regan is a wonderful girl and we sure love her!! Happy 5th Birthday Monkey!!

Fashion Sense

It's a good thing my husband doesn't work as a fashion consultant. Mollie wanted him to help her get dressed and this is what they came up with. They BOTH think it matches because it's all pink! She was so happy with her outfit, I didn't fight it (yes, she wore it out in public!) Thanks for your help Dad, but I'll take it from here!

Too Tired

We have a little patch of carpet between our couches at our new house. Today was Mollie's first day of Joy School and boy was she tired afterward! It wasn't long until she got really quiet and this is what we saw. She was just too tired to go anywhere else!

Quiet Smiles

If you know my sweet Regan, you know she is VERY shy. I am glad that her birthday makes her one of the oldest in her class because she really needs the extra year before Kindergarten to grow socially. Needless to say, I was extremely nervous to send her to her first day of preschool! I thought she would be scared, maybe cry, and not want to stay. Luckily, I was WAY wrong!! She was SO excited and ready! She had a wonderful time and her teachers said that she didn't talk much but was full of "quiet smiles". That describes Regan perfectly.....quiet smiles :) Love you Regan!!
