Happy Halloween!

We had a blast for Halloween! Mary Kate was "Ariel the Nernaid" and Claire-Bear was a chili-pepper. Mary Kate was all set to be Snow White for Halloween until one day she decided to be Ariel. That left me in a dilemma because we didn't have a costume for Ariel. So, thankfully, my parents went to the Disney Store and found one on sale. Whew, we dodged that bullet!

Also, Aunt Jennifer made Mary Kate the cute fall outfit that she has on in the picture by the pumpkin. We apparently carved our Walmart pumpkin too soon because it rotted days later.

Down on the Farm

Last Saturday we took the girls to Petite Creek Farm in Cartersville for some pumpkin picking and animal petting. Mary Kate had a blast and Claire thought it was pretty fun too!

Catchin' Up

We celebrated Brian and Mary Kate's birthdays during the month of September. We celebrated mine too, but we won't go there. Brian told me that on his special day he just wanted to spend time with his girls and watch football.



All Mary Kate could talk about for a whole year was how she wanted a Nemo cake for her birthday. The week before her party she changed her mind and wanted a mermaid cake. My mom helped me make it.



Brian's sister, Jennifer, decided to make Mary Kate a dress for her birthday. She asked me to come over to help her make some dresses, and well, let's just say that I don't think she realized how "challenged" I am in the sewing department. But I can iron like a champ! The dress turned out so cute! I think she could sell them.



And of course, we need to show off Claire-Bear who is quickly approaching 7 months.

The "Dark Eye"

Mary Kate fell off of the bed the other day during her "nap time." And I do use the word "nap time" loosely. She no longer sleeps during "nap time" but plays, sings, and apparently does various acrobatics which cause her to fall off of her bed. She ended up with a black eye. It's not that bad for a black eye but she called it her "dark eye."

Here is a better picture of her but not her "dark eye."

Update

Hello All! If you check this blog often, then I am so sorry that I have been slacking in posting pictures. Here are some sweet ones.

National Cow Appreciation Day

Madelyn here! I decided to update the blog for my sister since she tends to be too busy with the girls to do it. Last Friday was National Cow Appreciation day, and if you dressed up like a cow and went to Chick-fil-A, they would give you a free meal. So I talked to my sister and we decided to take her girls, as well as the little girl that I babysit. I got really into the costume making, and even decided to make one for my sister, Claire, and myself (Claire's turned out to be really cute!). Anyway, we went, got free food, and MK got to give many hugs to a gian cow they had there. All in all, it was really fun and worth all the funny stares we got while walking into the mall.

Just Claire

Bumbo Seat

Claire's Aunt Jennifer let us use her bumbo seat. I wasn't sure if she was old enough to sit in it yet, so last week we tried it out.







Not sure what we think.



Survey says- We don't like it!

I guess we will try again in a week or so. :)

Matching Again

My friend Kirsten made these dresses for my girls. She is extremely talented. I am not sure if you can tell, but their dresses have their names embroidered on them.
