The Fair

The Fair was during shut down so Daddy didn't get to go with us, but we went with Grandma and had a great time. The girls really did enjoy the rides, but I think the animals were their favorite part.

Riding on the roller coaster with Grandma.
Sarah was ready to go!

This ride was so high, but the girls didn't seem to notice.

Sarah rode it by herself the first time.

Vrmmmmmmmm, rmmmmmmm

Yummmm, cotton candy.
Yuck, cotton candy.

Molly LOVED the animals.

Sarah feeding the animals. She was a little more shy about it than Molly.

The Wedding

Back in September, Brian's cousin Amy got married and she asked the girls to be in the wedding. Molly LOVED it! Every second of it, but Sarah......not so much!

Really the highlight of our trip to KY that weekend was getting to ride on Meme's bus and PePaw's tractor. Who knew?

Trying to get a good picture with the girls....no luck!

Brian's beautiful and patient cousin, Amy.

All the flower girls and Amy. Brian's cousin Allison is the bridesmaid on the right.

Brian's Uncle David and Aunt Teresa (brother and sister). The girls LOVE Aunt Teresa, she is so much fun and is always laughing and smiling.

Molly and Nanny. We love Nanny, she has adopted me as another grand daughter. She is just the sweetest.

First Day of Mothers Day Out

Wow, I didn't realize how far behind I was! Here is a picture from the girls first day of Mothers Day Out. Our teachers this year are Ms. Pat and Ms. Paula and we love them so much, they are so sweet. We also have a lot of new friends this year and we are going on Tuesdays and Thursdays now.

Neither of the girls wanted to look at the camera. They were more interested in all the kiddos coming and going.

It is beginning to look, feel, and smell a lot like Christmas

I love Christmas, really love Christmas. I love the lights, the smells and everything about it. Well, not everything! I have composed my list of things I loathe and love about Christmas.

10 Things I Loathe or Love About My Favorite Holiday, Christmas

1. Love - I love Christmas lights and trees, there is something about the holiday decorations that makes me feel euphoric. Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy! Who can see a Christmas tree and now smile?

2. Loathe - Walmart - Have you been to Walmart the last week or so? If not, I suggest avoiding it like the plague. I generally love Walmart, but not now and not until the week after Christmas. However, here is a helpful tip from me to you......if you NEED to go to Walmart, then get in your car and drive to Blytheville. Even on Christmas Eve there is probably 1/8 of people there than at any Jonesboro Walmart.

3. Love - Christmas Cookies - sugar cookies with too much icing and tasteless sprinkles. Yummmm

4. Loathe - Traffic - been by the Mall lately?

5. Love - Christmas Cards - I do truly love going to my mailbox and getting mail. I love to open my email and get emails, but there is something about a hand written, postage, personally addressed letter from a friend or family member. The first Christmas card of the season is always put in a special place in our home and in my heart. I know it may sound silly, but if you love me, you will send me a Christmas card!

6. Loathe - Toy Commercials - I have news for you Mattel, Hasbro, Fisher Price, the makers of playstation, anything Barbie, or Pokemon......I HAVE TiVO!!!

7. Love - Christmas Music - My new favorite this year is by Veggietales and it is the best. Of course if you know me or have been in my Jeep, my Jeep is only allowed to play Veggietales.

8. Loathe - Bad Christmas Music - Anyone ever been to Little Bit of Christmas? Anyone worked at Little Bit of Christmas? Anyone ever heard Randy Travis sings Christmas songs for 12 hours?

9. Love - The Smell of Christmas - anything cinnamon, cookies, pine needles, anything like that.

10. Love - My Girls - I have never loved Christmas as much as I have since I have my girls. Everything about Christmas is new and fun for them, therefore new and fun for Brian and I. The presents, lights, cookies, gingerbread men, Christmas penguin, Santa, and of course the Christmas section of Walmart. Better than the toy dept.

Happy Holidays!!!!

Ten Things Tuesday

Well, I am feeling lazy and I do not feel like looking for the 10 things thingy....so imagine it HERE.

1. I am so busy with my little teeny business.

2. I actually had a customer Sunday say REALLY nice things about me. Sometimes it is just good to hear.

3. My girls went to sleep without a fight tonight and last night...2 nights in a row....yippeeee!

4. My new friend Susan, it is good to have new friends and I love and appreciate my Christian friends. I hope I never take that kind of friendship for granted!

5. Julie.

6. Sonic, sonic, sonic, sonic, sonic. There are not many great things about living in Monette, AR, but being 8 minutes from Happy Hour at Sonic is almost at the top of that list.

7. My girls went to sleep without a fight tonight and last night....2 nights in a row...yippeee!

8. My girls friends at school that they LOVE! It warms my heart to hear my girls talk about their friends at "school" and tell stories of all the funny things they have done.

9. New songs at church Sunday morning. My girls were beaming with pride as they sang their little hearts out to one of our favorite VeggieTale songs.

10. Mr. Brad pulled me aside after Children's Church Sunday and told me how wonderful the girls were doing in Children's Church and how much he enjoyed hearing them sing. I love me some singing babies....especially my babies!

Oh for the love of a light up shirt

Many of you who know me at all know that I have NO fashion sense. I wear what I like and I dress my girls the same way. We will never have the latest release from Gymboree or Baby Gap, but gently used clothes worn by twins before us that we will pass on to some very sweet twins that are younger than us.

However, there are certain clothing trends I am not sure I will ever be on board with. Here are a list of a few: character shirts (shudder at the thought, although we wear them as play shirts at home and night shirts), shorty skirts, anything with glitter, anything written on bottoms, and my new least favorite: light up shirts. Oh my, what were the manufactures of these thinking? My mom (who buys a ton of the girls clothes) let Molly pick out a Halloween shirt that was light up. I told her she could have it, but it would never be seen by the public eyes. Molly lost interest before Sarah could pick one out and we dodged a bullet that time.

Well, we were at Walmart Sunday and found their Halloween gear on sale for 50% off and I let them pick out their favorites. Molly picked a purple one, since this month it is her favorite color. Sarah picked one with Tinkerbell on it. I enjoy that they enjoy these shirts so much.

Catch Up

I have a lot to catch up on, mainly my blogging. We have had a wedding, trips, and more funny stuff than I can think of, but I have been too busy to blog. Well, not too busy, just unmotivated and my laptop crashed and I hate sitting in my sewing room on the computer to blog. I can't always hear Sarah where ever she is in the house, and make no mistake, I always need to hear where Sarah is.

Okay, so I am promising to download some pictures tonight and maybe even some new blogs posts. Yeah!
