Google Halloween

I always love the Google image on holidays. This one is pretty cool.

Happy Halloween!

Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween. I'll be back later in the weekend to post pictures of our superheroes.

Weeee!

We recently got a Wii and Ashley loves it. She's actually really good at it, I think golf is her favorite- such a Daddy's girl.

10 Months (and one day)

Preston was 10 months old yesterday. I can hardly believe he'll be one in a few months. He has two teeth, drinks milk from a sippy cup (no more bottles!) and eats all table food. He's such a great little boy, he makes us so happy.

And I did try to get a picture without the pacifier, but that was not happening.

Pumpkin Patch!

Here are a few photos from the Pumpkin Patch we visited over the weekend. The weather was perfect!S

And So It Starts...

I took Ashley shopping for some new sneakers since we've been getting some cooler weather and her Crocs just aren't cutting it anymore. She told me she wanted Skechers. Because some kids at school have Skechers. She seems to be noticing what other kids are wearing now. So when we were at the store, every time I showed her a pair of shoes, she asked me if they were Skechers. The only pair that fit her were Nikes but I told her they were Skechers so she would try them on. We bought them. Eric asked me what I was going to do when another kid tells her they're Nikes, not Skechers. Sigh.

Thankful Thursday

Only one day late, I'm making progress.

I'm thankful for

Sonic Cherry Limeade- so so good

Finding pants to fit Ashley- not easy

Great weather we've been having

A week that went by quickly

Thankful Thursday on Sunday

I know, I know, late again. Seems to be my thing lately.

I am thankful for:

The great weather we've had- I love fall

Gas for $2.92 a gallon- woo hoo!

Old friends I've gotten in touch with again

The way my kids entertain each other

My hubby letting me sleep in today- so nice

It's Just Water People!

So here is my vent for the day...Why is it when it rains a little, people forget how to drive? Especially in rush hour? I woke up on time in hopes to actually make it to work on time, and then I heard the rain. I knew I was doomed. Took me an hour and a half to get to work. I would understand if it was storming, but we're just talking about a drizzle. At least my boss is understanding!

On the bright side, Ashley was excited to wear her Hello Kitty rainboots to school. :)

Busy, Busy!

I love this time of year, there are so many fun things going on and the anticipation of the holidays is starting to build up. We went to the Texas State Fair yesterday and had a great time. We saw a cool dog show with frisbee-catching dogs, went through the petting zoo where Ashley got to feed a goat and played some carnival games. Ashley isn't much of a daredevil yet. She's finally tall enough to ride the kid's rides but she didn't want to go on any of them. She did want to ride the merry go round, but not on a horse, just sat on the bench. Fun! ;) We limited our fair-food intake to some cheeseburgers and a funnel cake. But there was plenty of fried food, I did see a sign for fried Jelly Bellies- that just didn't sound good to me.

I missed Thankful Thursday, so how about a Thankful Sunday?

I am thankful for:

Signs of Fall appearing

How excited Preston gets when I walk in the room

How Ashley can make Preston laugh

The Dolphins winning streak (makes my hubby happy!)

Friends to email with during the week to keep me sane
