Snuggle Anyone?

My child finds many things to keep herself occupied in the afternoons.  I usually come in and begin to pick up, cook and get a few things done around the house and she would prefer to play than have to help pickup.  She found a corner of the kitchen to set up her afternoon activity and I look over to find her snuggling with the Snuggle fabric softener bottle that I had just purchased.  She was so excited at the store at the cute pink curved bottle and insisted I buy it.  However, I didn't know she would use it for a baby.  You all know that this princess must have 6 or 7 babies and many more barbies and so many stuffed animals that I threaten to throw half of them away once a month.  So, I ask...Why buy a doll when you have the snuggle bottle to play with? I thought I would give my friends a laugh on this Friday...eve to our much needed week off.

Sunday cutie!

We actually had time to take a picture on Sunday.  That is a rare thing around our house because someone is always running late.  It is usually me but Macy does her share to slow me down.  Daddy on  the other hand can watch TV until the last few minutes and then manage a shower, shave and still beat us into the car.  This past Sunday was my Sunday to work in Children's church so I don't usually insist that Mae wear a  dress since we usually paint, crawl around on the floor or something exciting. 

My Little Turkey!

I sure was glad to get back home to my little turkey and Daddy too!  I enjoyed my trip to Atlanta and picked up some great new stuff to use in my classroom but by Friday I was ready to get back home. 

Granny!

We love this lady!

Trick or treat fun island style!

Friday night was trick or treat at our house and we decorated the golf cart and took off around 7:00.  We started out with the neighbors for pictures and exchanging treats.  We were lucky to have Granny come this year and even talked her into staying the night!  Saturday was a busy day since we had church Fall Festival and then trick or treat at GG's house in Richmondhill.  We had a nice dinner with them and then off to gather treats again.  Macy had some more friends this time and I loved to hear her squeal as she took off towards each house. 

Friday night on Colonel's Island!

Cutest Cheerleader Ever!

Saturday Night with GG and friends!

Big D carves a pumpkin!

We got home on Thursday to find Daddy already carving a pumpkin.  He carved one pumpkin and saved one for Macy.  He had it ready for her to see so of course as soon as she got home he got busy on another one.  She wasn't really feeling like taking the yucky stuff out.  The one that is a little weird looking is the one Macy carved.  He let her draw the face and help cut out.  He wanted her to have all the fun and she did!

The Queenie!

Can you guess who got a new outfit?  I had to go to Savannah after school today and I can't pass the mall without checking out at least one store.  I don't like printed tees but I thought this was kinda cute and we need something for Saturday.  The girl wanted a pair of shorts but I put both of my feet down and told her she had to find a pair of jeans that would work for her.  She is so tiny but kinda long legged that she needs a 2t in the waist and hips and a 4 or 5 in the length.  So this is a 4t and it works!  I wanted to jump up and down but I said it was cute and everyone was happy.  Can you imagine us shopping for jeans when she is 15?  You will probably hear over the mall intercom....2 females screeming on isle 5 , please send security.  

Drama or Queen?

Sundays are always busy for us, sunday school, church, lunch and playtime.  Macy is slowly giving up her afternoon naps..(ugh....I still need mine) So after lunch we played until about 3:00 when our neighbor called and they started to play.  An hour at our house then an hour over there. About 5:30 I insisted she come home and let me just say she was a bear!  She came in slinging clothes and shoes and crying....no screaming.  After some calming techniques, which did not work, she crawled in the bed and began to say...Mommy, my eyes hurt.  This is what she has said since she was 2 when she gets over tired.  She likes a bath cloth to put over her eyes.  So, I ask is she a Drama Queen or just Queenie! 

Another Saturday of Funnel Cakes and Fall Fun!

I think Fall is my favorite time of the year!  I took Macy and her friends to Wally world and then to The Bamboo Farm's Fall Festival.  It was fun to see the girls enjoy the festivities.  We left home in long pants and a t-shirt but as soon as we got to Wally World we had to hit the reduced rack and find something cooler.  Of course it was pink, not orange, like I would have hoped.  I found some cute bows to buy and we had funnel cake and a hot dog.  We saw several of our friends, a special one....Lexi Jane! What a beauty!

Award

Macy got her first award today.  She got an ABC award for behavior.  She seemed nervous since she didn't smile till she saw me waiting for her at the end.  I was so proud especially since my report card said the same thing every year...talks too much!  I know, I know, imagine that!
