The Great Pumpkin

      Yesterday, baby girl "christened" the church service by throwing up at communion, so it just made the day after the big loss even more depressing. Both girls are a little under the weather today, but thanks to Christopher Columbus we get a day to rest before a busy four day week. As promised, a couple of photos from the pumpkin patch.  Enjoy!

The Day After

The before and after. No allergic reaction this time!! Now if LSU can survive this weekend, we will all eat some cake!  I'll post photos from our Pumpkin Patch field trip tomorrow. Have a great weekend.

Got Cake?

    What a difference a year makes. I have no idea where the past year went. So bittersweet for my little man to hit the one year mark. I have just enjoyed his "infanthood" so much and I'm not quite ready to give it up. Sure, I can do without the stinky diapers and the milk vomit, but for crying out loud he has 7 teeth! He is eating food that I cooked! He says Mama, Dada, and BaBa, and he is taking those baby steps all by himself. He is showing independence already and it makes me a little sad. But also very happy.

   So tonight our little family will celebrate with a football shaped cake, a present or two, decorations and games that will girls will invent on the spot because they know how to party. I'll post tomorrow. 

Sending everyone some cyberspace cake! 

Roller Rink

We all survived the roller rink. Big girl took off immediately since this was her second time, but baby girl was very timid on the skates, determined to fall only when she wanted to or to make hubby and I laugh. Wish the pictures would have been better, but there was no way I wanted to hold the camera while I was on skates because I probably would have shielded the camera in the event of a fall versus my arms or legs. Little man has his first playdate tomorrow, so I'll be scrubbing the house down so the kids can't find any gummi bears or uncooked pasta on the floor. Have a great day!

Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday little "E." Wish we could be there to celebrate. 

Love and miss you,

Aunt J and the gang

P.S. Yes, the girls and I hit the roller rink this weekend. I'll post a photo as soon as I do some serious photoshop work on them.

Got Gas?

Pun intended here. We have had a shortage of gas since Hurricane Ike. It is getting better daily, but we have been trying to conserve as much as possible. Yesterday I was able to get enough to drive to the skating rink for Family Fun Day. I had to snap a picture to document the shortage. We have never seen anything like it! As far as scrapbooking the other day, I broke my photo printer trying to print my first photo. Hubby is going to look at it today, but I think we will have to ship it off to be serviced. So this weekend I am getting the digital photos organized and printed and maybe create some cards. The only time I make cards is the annual Christmas one, but I would like to send a few out this week to family and friends back home. I'll post family fun day photos this weekend.

Getting Busy

So I have finally cleaned out the girls scrapbook/playroom. In honor of unpacking the boxes and putting everything where it belongs I am going to take out my paper, adhesive, embellishments photos and celebrate. I signed up for an online design class at Big Picture Scrapbooking to help me get my rump in gear. So while little man sleeps this morning I'll be cutting and pasting. Just because I know there are quite a few of you who log on for the photos, here is one from Sunday. James took all of us to the park after Nana and PawPaw left so we could cheer up. Enjoy.
