kaylee's pioneer performance

This is a little late. Last Thursday, Kaylee and the whole second grade did a singing performance at her school. They sang pioneer songs. It was very cute and Kaylee did a great job. She was in a song and dance number to "over the river and through the woods".

a day with Kelsey

So today was my day with Kelsey. We decided to hit Saver's half off everything day. Kelsey was able to find a skirt, dress, pants, and a pair of shoes. Then we hit the mall. Amazing how I took HER shopping and ended up doing a ton of shopping myself. It was a good day though. We were able to talk about friends, her life, and BOYS! I love these moments. They really are special to me and I love to be able to have that one on one time.

messy day at the park

This is how you make "angels" in Arizona

The strip down - can you say "white trash"

Kaylee dug a hole an filled it with water

this is by far my favorite picture. Emma can't do anything without getting her face dirty
Today Davin and I took Kaylee and Emma down to the neighborhood park by our house. Evidently, one of the sprinklers broke and flooded a corner of the sandy part. FUN! The girls had a ball! They started out making sand castles and ended up swimming! They were such a mess! The funniest part was watching Emma do the progressive strip down. She started off with her dress because it got wet and on the way home decided to take off her panties because they were too wet. She streaked the neighorhood on the way home.

Halloween

How "groovy" are we? Davin says he likes me as a blonde.

Grant was Darth Vader (could you guess?). What a character! This year we told Kelsey she was too old to trick-or-treat (I know, mean mom) so she stayed at the house and handed out candy (she still dressed up but missed out on pictures because she took off with some friends while we were taking them). Anyway Grant said HE was too old to trick or treat too and did not want to go. WHAT! I made him get dressed up for pictures (mean mom again) but he pouted so much, I didn't make him trick or treat (does that sound weird to anyone else?) He stayed home and played on the computer and was happy about it!

Kaylee is princess Juliet (Romeo and Juliet). Since her and Emma were my only trick or treaters, she scored pretty well. She was exhausted by the end and had a hard time making it all the way back home (down the street, she had a tendency for the drama).

Halloween

Emma was Dorothy, unless you asked her, then she was Christine (from the Phantom of the Opera). Dont ask why, I dont know. She had so much fun trick or treating. She made sure people told her she was pretty. We were at one house, and the people were talking to some other girls telling them how pretty they were, she got up in front of them and asked "My pretty?"
