Trunk or Treat

I know I am partial, but this is the cutest dang pig I have ever seen!!! AND, she sat, with her little pig hat on her head, for almost 2 hours on the back of our truck. SO CUTE! Our church has Trunk or Treat every year in the parking lot. People decorate their cars and the kids trick or treat to each one. This year we were supposed to decortate like a movie and since Maris was a pig, we did Charlotte's Web. Turned out pretty cute. Her baby friend Madeline was a lamb and fit in perfect! Macie was a beautiful Tinkerbell. I love this picture of her stuffing popcorn in her mouth with one hand and a fistful of candy in the other hand. HA! John was Mr. Zuckerman. Hee hee.

Changes

Our lives are changing!! Maris moved from the infant seat to the regular car seat, and of course doesn't really like it. Macie moved to the booster seat and LOVES it. She stuck her foot out the window yesterday on the way home from school. Probably not safe, huh? I really don't want to label my kiddos, but that is so typical! Maris is so grouchy about stuff. And, I had no idea that a 7 month old could throw a fit like she does. I took an apple slice away from her today and she freaked out! Screaming and arching her back, a full fit. Not that Macie doesn't have her share of fits, but she is so happy about stuff, so fun-loving. I shouldn't complain. Maris is pretty easy going too, just some stuff she really digs her heals in. Oh well. But, I digress....the biggest change going on right now.... WE ARE GETTING CABLE! John is so excited he can barely stand it. Turns out the new fiber optic line they were installing, that I talked about in an earlier post, is allowing us to get cable, internet and phone for the same price we already pay for phone and internet. Pretty exciting. HA!

Fun Stuff

It was good to be a Mom this week. I have Tinkerbell wings in my house, I got to see a live theatrical version of Cinderella, and got to tour a fire station. Thanks Macie!!

Saturday

The weather has been so nice! Today, I told Macie to go get dressed and she came down in her new favorite outfit, the purple tutu I bought last week at a garage sale for $1. The best $1 I ever spent. She was playing outside, so I grabbed the camera. Next thing you know, we all ended up in our hammock that is about 4 feet off the ground. Ha! Anyway, it was so relaxing. We saw a HUGE hawk fly over while we were hanging out in there. Then, some workers were installing a new fiber optic line behind our house and Macie climbed up on her tree house and said "Do you need some help from a purple ballerina?" It was cute and FUNNY! That's what I want Saturdays to be like.

Fall Fun

Last week, my Aunt Shara came to visit and took us to the State Fair and to the Dallas Arboretum. She has taken macie to the OK State Fair the last 2 years, but this year, we just couldn't make it there. So.... she came here. We all had fun. Maris was a trooper. Fall has so many things going on. We went to the Aroboretum too. Macie had her face painted. And, there was a girl there in her Quinceanera dress for photos. We told Macie it was a princess and kinda played it up. She totally fell for it and the whole rest of the time was asking about the princess.. Where is she, how did she get here..... She even slept with the picture under her pillow. Ha!! We are going to Disneyland in December. I think she will have fun.

First Post

Well, everyone else has a blog, so I decided I needed one too! This may be the only post I ever make, because I don't know how I will find time to do it and really don't know what I am doing. Also, not sure why I need one other than, like I said, everyone else has one. Hee hee. My real motivation is to share what's goin on with us with those I don't get to see much (or ever!). I guess I figure if you don't care about what's goin on, then don't look at my blog. Ha! I am still figuring all this out, so hopefully it will improve with time. I am amazed by moms who have time to do all these cool things and I feel like I barely scratch by with the bare necessities. See the links to some blogs of mom's I'm talking about over there. You are my heroes ladies! Maris is eating a tube of Desitin, so will go for now.
