I took Autumn in for her two year old well visit on the morning before her Dora birthday party, and she amazed me at how much braver she was at this visit versus her 18 month visit. She got to actually stand on the scale this time, and she smiled at the nurse and doctor…. >> View Post

Mall Santa Photo! (And… WOW, no tears this time!)
Really, I can’t believe it. Autumn did not cry for Santa. BTW, isn’t her $2.00 dress from Children’s Place adorable on her? I got it at the Monster Sale last year with my friend Katie. Nathan did really well, like always!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Autumn’s 2nd Birthday Party– Dora Style!
Today we had our families over for Autumn’s 2nd birthday party. Autumn loves Dora (especially Dora’s backpack and Boots!), so I decided to do a Dora theme. Jeremi created this poster at work and I hung it on one of our large picture frames in the living room. So cute! Last night I was up… >> View Post
Feast Day
Today there was a potluck dinner in the church basement for the preschool through first grade classes. I would have brought my Rebel if I had known the kids were going to sing a song before we ate. Nathan is in the preschool 4 class, and they were all turkeys. I must say, Nathan made… >> View Post
Feeding the Ducks
Right now, our backyard is covered in leaves and I thought it was the PERFECT cure for the fussies that were going on in our household! Its amazing how fresh air can rejuvenate children! Look at that happy face! I attempted to get one of those really cool pictures with the leaves being thrown up… >> View Post
Stuck.
My Mom bought a sand table at a garage sale and Autumn had fun playing in the sand with her old time Little People. Well, she happened to stick one in right where the umbrella is supposed to go. It was stuck, and of course she fussed and wanted it out. Mommy and Grandma could… >> View Post

Here is a shot of him running and throwing the ball in Autumn cheering for Big BroBro On the practice before Halloween, the coach… >> View Post
Nathan’s Preschool 4 Halloween Party
Today was Nathan’s Halloween party at school, and since I am a room mother, I got to help out with the party. It was really neat to see Nathan in class and I got to get to know some of the other Moms a little better. All of the kids in his class are super… >> View Post
Halloween
The morning of Halloween, Nathan woke up and said ITS HALLOWEEN! This is the first year he knew it was actually Halloween! Heheh. Of course, I had them in their Gymbo Halloween gymmies. So cute! I just wish little Miss Autumn would have smiled. It is SO hard to get both of them to cooperate… >> View Post
Trunk or Treat
Friday night our church/Nathan’s school had trunk or treat and I decided to participate in the trunking! I decided to do a haunted Thomas the train theme, because Nathan LOVES Thomas and we have A LOT of Thomas stuff laying around… so, why not use it and ‘spook’ it up? I had two different trains… >> View Post
