Trick or TREAT!!!

This was C's first year to actually go Trick-or-Treat. Personally, I don't think kids who aren't old enough to eat candy should be trick-or-treating. Cause let's face it - who will be eating the candy???

Anyways, she wanted to be a "cowboy." ("Don't you mean a cow-GIRL, C?" "No. Cow-BOY.") So I purchased a hat and sheriff's badge and made her a vest and skirt. Grandpa sent a bandanna (those were hard to find!) and some garage sale "boots" completed the look:



E was the cutest little giraffe that there ever was! (Except when C was a giraffe two years ago...):



C and I practiced the "trick-or -treat" all week. However, she got a little "stage-fright" when it was time to do it for real. Doug took her around our cul-de-sac and said by the third house she was speaking up better and remembering to say "thank you!"

BAD DOG!!!

Recently we've started letting Sadie "roam free" in the house when we leave, as opposed to staying locked in her kennel. NO MORE!!! You'd think a 3 year old dog would have more sense...

This morning I found my Bluetooth wireless headset on the floor in the middle of the living room. "That's strange," I thought, and put it back on the computer desk.

After Jazzercise, this was all that was left of it:


Needless to say, all roaming privileges have been hereby REVOKED indefinitely.

Polka Dot Paradise

Thanks for the input on my template, ladies. Here is what I think I will go for, at least for now... I spent way too much time on this tonight, when I should have been packing/cleaning. Oh well! Somehow I feel like I've accomplished something, nonetheless.

It was a super busy day, but filled with super fun stuff! We went to Jazzercise in the morning, then swimming w/Julie in her neighborhood pool (way fun - thanks Jules!) and then spent the afternoon tie-dying with Sarah.  C didn't really nap, but she really enjoyed playing with her friends, including her new friend "E-tan". E is such a good baby to put up with our busy lifestyle! She's just along for the ride, taking it all in.

Tomorrow I have to take Sadie to have a tumor removed from her ear... We will be staying home the rest of the day to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't bleed all over the house. Poor dog!

Blogger Identity Crisis

Sorry for the many recent changes in my blog template... I can't decide! I know that I am happy with the photo header (yes, it is my girls' sweet little feet), but can't seem to get the colors right. I liked the blue, but felt it wasn't feminine enough. But is the pink too cheesy? Any suggestions???

First Blog

Well, I have enjoyed reading my friends' blogs for so long, that I decided to take a stab at one myself. Brief background on me: 29 yrs old, stay-at-home mom of 2, wife of 1. My hubby, Doug, and I have a red doberman named Sadie who was great practice for our little kiddos. We have C (21 months) and E (6 weeks). Yes, E is a very new addition, which is why I am not sure how often I will write in this thing.

My purpose for the blog is to try to document some of my life for far-away family and also for my own personal amusement.

Enjoy!
Lori :-)
