October Recap

We started October with a school trip to the Arbuckle Mountains with Maddy's 6th grade class. 4 days of wet, cold, fun. Maddy and I really enjoyed the archery.

Here is a group of the girls in our cabin. We were on a scavenger hunt. See the water? It wasn't the first time or last we got to wade in water. Our shoes were always wet!

This is right after we climbed up a mountain. See our view!




Maddy was against the fishing at first but was convinced that we were not harming the fish. She almost caught a dozen. Hungry fish!

We tried a different pumpkin patch this year. Look at those gourds.


Abby on top of the world.

Picking out our pumpkins was the most fun.

Even Tabby picked a few.




Tabby had to paint her pumpkin right away.

Abby joined fall soccer. She really enjoyed playing and her team. No goals were scored but she learned a lot and cant wait for spring soccer.



Is she spooky or what!

This groovy chick got to enjoy a Halloween dance at school. Everyone in her school had the chance to dress up on Halloween. She said there were many interesting costumes.

Tabby had a hard time liking any of my suggestions for costumes. She did agree in dressing in Maddy's ballet costume from last year and be a witch. She only lasted a dozen or so houses before we went home and handed out candy in our driveway. It was a beautiful night.

We gave her a broom to complete her costume but she insisted on sweeping instead of riding.


Here are my ghouls!

Tabby had a few tasty treats in her bag. She really enjoyed this sucker and pixie sticks. This girl loves her sweets!

Glasses

Maddy had been getting headaches at school so we took her in to get her eyes checked and sure enough she needed glasses. She was pretty excited and picked out a pair like mine. I think she looks pretty cute!

Happy Easter!

Due to the cold and wet weather we kept having pretty much the entire month, our Easter festivities were kept inside. But the girls didn't mind as long as there was an egg hunt!



Peek A Boo! Where is Tabitha and Abby?

Vinod helped Tabitha get the high ones!

A Tutu Please.


Tabitha bought a new tutu with her money from Easter and she had to wear it immediately. I am beginning to think these tutus are like a security blanket. When we go anywhere I have to bribe her to wear real clothes and as soon as we get home she has to take her clothes off as soon as possible to put on a tutu.

Tabitha and Olivia



These girls are so cute together. Tabitha and Olivia love to play together. Here the girls are (and Jensen) at Toddler aerobics. The parachute was so much fun.

Soccer







Abby was so excited when soccer season started. Sadly, I didn't get a lot of pictures due to rain, rain, and more rain. 3 of her games were cancelled and a couple were too cold to take Tabitha to. Abby had a great time. She even scored a goal her second game and she came close many times. Abby loved everyone on her team and her coach too.

Piano Girl




After the Spring party with the MOMS Club Tabitha found the piano. She was so interested in the piano and it was quite cute. Now everytime we go to the church where we have our meetings she has to play the piano.

The Storm











The girls and I watched a storm come in and the sun was still out. It was so neat. I love the picture of the sun. That is rain in front of it. I cant resist the picture of Abby. Crazy girl.

I really need to update!

Sorry friends. I am taking pictures and we are doing lots of fun stuff but by the end of the day I am wiped out. So I am going to go back over the next few days (or week) and show you the highlights.

The Room is DONE!!!

The room took a little longer to complete than we thought due to all the rain. The paint dried so slow! But it's done!


Maddy wanted lime green, hot pink and black in her room and when she saw a damask pattern she loved it and wanted that too.

Her new desk!

We just love these curtains and Maddy LOVES the movie Twilight. She bought the poster with her own money and it was the first thing to go up in her room.


I created the canvas art with my Silhouette (a paper cutting machine) I love how it turned out!
She is now saving up for a pillow for her bed and a little pink rug for the floor.

While there are only 2....

I have been crazy busy cleaning! Got just about the whole house done today. Yea! It needed it. Tabitha moved into a big girl bed yesterday. She was so excited to get to sleep in the same room as Abby. She had a hard time getting to sleep, but tonight she was exhausted and it wasn't hard at all.
The big plan this weekend is getting Tabitha's old room all ready for Maddy to have her very own room. It was sad to see that cute garden theme go but Maddy is getting a cute sophisticated room. Bright green, hot pink, and black. I can't wait for Maddy to see it. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

And she's off....

Maddy sold enough cookies (she was the top seller!!!) to go to space camp and she left earlier today. So right now she is somewhere in Dallas about to go to sleep.

I miss her a ton!
