From the Faire

Hubby took big girl and baby girl to the Renaissance Faire last weekend. They had a GREAT time and promised that when Buddy felt better we would all go. Hubby also found out that baby girl is really developing her comic timing. Whilst waiting for the joust to start, the costumed peasants work the crowd up, having them cheer for their knight and discourage the other knights. In their section the peasant was trying his hardest for people to respond and shouts out, " If you yell the loudest for your knight, free beer for everyone!" After all in the section yelled, screamed, and stomped themselves to a frenzy, it got very quiet and baby girl yells to the peasant as loud as she can,

 "And what about free food!" 

Classic.

P.S. The girls are holding their "hands" dipped in wax. It was Mom's only request. They came out so cute!!!!

Scrapbooking

Thank you Coach Miles and LSU. No tears were shed last night over the game. Now if I could just stop worrying about Tricky Nick I'll be okay. 

I have been really enjoying the design class I am taking at Big Picture Scrapbooking. It is just what I need to help me plan out my space and get organized. Here are a few of them. Today I hope I'll be able to go out and get some paint for the room. Being organized is bringing out the decorator in me!

Random Thoughts during the LSU game. . .

Les, please don't make me cry tonight.

Steve Spurrier looks like my dad. That's why we call the Old Ball Coach "Evil George" around our house. NOTE: I really, really do think Coach Spurrier is a genius so no defamation of character is intended here.

Buddy has RSV again. Liked the new pediatrician's office but it does not compare to having your friend as your pediatrician. 

The girls and the hubby went to the Renaissance Festival today while Buddy and I stayed home. 

I scrapbooked and will post photos to prove it!!

Big girl and Baby girl both love their new school. Big girl had a blast making a volcano for Science. It has not erupted yet, but I think we will do this soon.

Oh my, LSU is not looking good. . . 

More next time

 I had a great post planned, but now I am mediating a sister altercation. The photo is from a birthday party baby girl went to last Saturday. Check out Cinderella's rad black fingernail polish! More next time after the girls forgive and forget.

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!
