Thanksgiving Feast

Parker's school today held a Thanksgiving Feast for parents to attend. They sang songs for us, said the Johnny Appleseed prayer, and then joined us for lunch. The kids helped make the muffins, and snack mix, and then for show and share this month, we've been taking cans of vegetables and other things for the soup they made. It was so fun to see Parker up on stage, and all the kids did a great job! Have a great Thanksgiving Week.

Silly Girls

I had to laugh last night at both my girls for different reasons. After work I needed to get a little shopping done, to get started on my Christmas list. Chris needed me to take Parker with me, so she tagged along, and had fun shopping with mommy and nana! We were looking around, and she spotted a glitzy belt, that she kept telling nana, that she really really wanted..she asked if it was her size and wouldn't let it go! Nana is a sucker for glitz too, and when Parker wanted it, she got it! She was so excited about it, she wanted to wear it right away, which meant for the whole night last night with her sweat suit and then today with jeans! Parker is my "tom girl" who likes a little glitz!

Brecken LOVES to put on shoes, anyone's shoes...Parker's..mommy's...and daddy's! She's been known to get into Chris boots several times, and I was able to capture it last night. She had taken off her dress at dinner, so this is it, tights, t-shirt and boots!

My girls make me chuckle often!

No Boys Allowed!!

Friday morning came, and when I went in to get Parker out of bed, I wanted her to be excited about spending the weekend at home together while Chris headed out for the 1st hunting trip of the year. I gave her a big hug and told her to tell daddy to have a fun weekend, and that we were having a girls only weekend, no boys allowed! She got a kick out of it and told daddy “no boys allowed”! He laughed and told us, that there were “no girls allowed” where he was going so we were even! Since I knew we would mostly be home bound, I decided we would make cookies to have fun, and get out for a few errands, and get Parker’s hair cut. The cookies were a hit, both girls loved helping and they turned out great! It ended up being a 3 day affair, as we made them Friday night, baked them on Saturday and frosted them on Sunday! It was a perfect way to kill an hour or so with each process! The girls dressed up in their play clothes too and all in all it was a fun weekend. Daddy made it home early for a surprise since his weekend got rained out, so by lunchtime on Sunday our girls only, no boys allowed weekend was over!

Guess what Brecken Can Do

My two year old Brecken has surprised us a bit this week. Casually I asked her if she wanted to use the potty before bath time on Sunday night, and she excitedly said yes...and she went! We all gave her a few high fives, and she was pretty proud of herself! Everyday this week, she's gone to the bathroom on the potty at least once with much success! This isn't something I'm trying to do, but wanted to introduce it to her, thinking she wouldn't have much of an interest, but I was wrong! I took pictures, but decided it was inappropriate to post, since she was stark naked, getting ready to take her bath...It's a cute photo though...you'll have to trust me!

Happy Halloween...

Princess Parker and Brecken the Ballerina

Ok, so its a few days late, but I wanted to share a few photos of the girls from the weekend. Parker had a busy week last week, getting plenty of use in her Halloween costume. She was able to wear it to dance class on Tuesday, then for school parties on Thursday and Friday, and then of course Saturday for trick or treating! Daddy and the girls carved pumpkins on Thursday night and then on Halloween we went to the annual Davis party for chili, outdoor fun, trick or treating, and then capped the evening off with the Charlie Brown Halloween movie! The kids and adults had a great time. Yesterday the awesome weather continued and the girls had fun playing in the leaves outside with daddy. Have a great week.
