Leighton's First Halloween!

The original plan for Halloween was for Leighton to be Tinkerbell, a la this:

Unfortunately, getting it off of her after this try-on was an ordeal.

Plan B. We bought her a lady bug costume, which actually coordinated better with Noah's bee anyway;-)

Here are some highlights of Halloween night:

So excited!

Decorating our pumpkin patch pumpkins

Daddy, Mommy, Baby and Noah pumpkins

Helping Daddy pass out candy

The night before, we hit trunk-or-treat with cousin Braylee:

that's enough with the pictures, Mommy!

So glad these two girls got to hang out! Love us some time with the cousins!

As a bonus, here's Mackenzie in the costume I picked for her:

I swear, this hand on the hip thing is new and she didn't learn it from me!

She wanted to be a vampire cheerleader. I know, WTH?? Fortunately they did not have vampire fangs in her size. Plan B was much cuter for her;-)

Aquarium

First, for some reason blogger is not letting me post comments, even to my own page! But yes, rice cooker works magically at cooking white rice. I have not yet tried to steam veggies or cook brown rice, though.

Sooo...Friday my mom and I took Leighton and Mackenzie to the Aquarium! Of course there were some things she wasn't interested in, but sometimes she'd just stare in amazement or smile a little - so cute!

Mackenzie was much more enthusiastic, though she did not pet the sting rays (despite talking about it several times before we got there, lol).

Anyway, here some of the pictures!



Me and Kallie

 It has finally happened! I got to meet Kallie, my new godbaby, this weekend. I'm in love! She's the cutest, tiniest little thing ever!!

2 weeks old and she's still only at 5 1/2 pounds! I'm bringing my Spring Coach next time so I can steal her:) She'd fit right in my handbag!!

We also made it out to Erath to see Leslie and Jonathan tie the knot! The ceremony and reception were beautiful and it was great to see old friends! I didn't bring my camera to the wedding, but we did take a family shot after we got home. Bill snapped one of mom and I at the reception with his phone, but he has yet to email it to me.

 

 

Noah looks a little shocked! LOL

 

Sunday we went and ate breakfast and Mackenzie came!! Unfortunately her ear started to ache while we were eating, so brought her to Walmart to get Tylenol and a get well toy (babies of course), but she still felt bad:(

We are pouting b/c her ear hurts:(

When we got home I rocked her and put the Disney Channel on - by the end of the first show she was back to normal! Played with her fur cousin and tried to con me into leaving him at my mom's for the week. Silly girl!

We got home fairly early, so I began the task of taking down the Christmas decorations - but I'm not happy about it at all! I love my house all decorated! The little tree is gone and the big tree is undecorated, but I haven't boxed it yet. I will do that tomorrow along with deChristmasing the mantle. My new tree should come in this week. I can't for next year with 2 big trees! So much fun!

Tomorrow also means back to work, so I must go get some rest! Have a great week!
