He didn't get rid of them all!

Autumn Wonderland

We heard on the news last night that we might have a dusting of snow this morning. Imagine my kids excitement when we woke up to this:

The kids were dying to get out there and jump right into the snow, but I made them wait until 9 am. Ellie couldn't wait that long though.

Happy Birthday To Me!

I was presented with this delicious store bought cake for my birthday this year. It was very yummy. But, nothing will be able to top the cake he made me last year.

I think I will post a picture of that cake every year on my birthday just to make me smile.

She lost another one!!

I didn't even know her tooth was very loose! But, she yanked it out today. Looks like the tooth fairy will be making a trip to our house tonight!

Boo!

Look what I made this morning!!

The glue is still drying, so it is on the kitchen table for right now. I haven't decided where I'm going to keep it yet. Maybe the front door? Wherever it ends up it will look good. If I do say so myself.

It's been a long time (since I rock and rolled)...

I was shocked to hear that after all the enjoyment everyone has been getting from my dad's smile enhancement feature on his camera, that he has been DELETING all the smile enhanced pictures! I'm glad I got a couple emailed to me before they all disappeared.

In other news, we took the kids to feed the ducks on Sunday. It was a very good time. Much different than the time the duck bit Briana's hand and then chased her all the way to the car (because of Papaw dropping bread crumbs). This time, the kids were able to feed the ducks right out of their hands. They also screamed and chased the ducks. Very fun and very entertaining!

I have two things not related to duck feeding to share. Last night, the girls were both helping me fold laundry while I cooked dinner. Briana hollered at me, "What should we do with your underwear, Mommy?" I said, "just put it in a pile." She waits a second and then says, "good. I didn't know how I was going to fold it because it's so....BIG!" He he he he. I love my granny undies.

The other funny thing happened this morning while Sydney and I were upstairs brushing her hair before school. Briana and Ellie were on the couch in the living room and Briana was playing with her cash register. She was singing into the microphone, so it was making a really high pitched squealing sound. I could hear that sound, and then I could hear a lower pitched oooooooo sound. I peeked out of the bathroom and saw Ellie sitting next to Briana howling. It was so so cute. Briana did it several more times, and Ellie howled every time. I'm going to see if I can get them to do it again later so I can record it. So funny!

More Funnies

We went to my parent's house for dinner last night, and my dad began playing with his new fancy camera (I'm not jealous of it at all). His camera has a feature that can add a smile to a face that is not smiling in a picture. I must say, this is the most awesome feature ever. They started taking pictures of Myles making funny faces and then added smiles. This was very entertaining!

It was all quite funny until everyone realized that it would be equally funny to take a picture of me and add a smile. Not funny! I wasn't going to let them, but then I thought, why not embarrass myself?

It was worth it though, because after I was photographed, Shannon decided she would do it too, and the end result was so, so awesome.

And she was still willing to have more pictures taken after that!
