Cheese

This picture is for Uncle John and the dogs (that is what Sarah said before I took it).

She walked into a room I was in earlier today and I jumped when I saw her with the teeth in.

She laughed so hard and thought it was the funniest thing.

She asked me to take this picture.

(Baby girls still has a sore in her nose and it would heal if she would quit picking at it).

Skulls

For $1.99 each we decided to kick off "get decorations ready for Halloween".

We all five painted a paper mache skull!

Artists hard at work.

Finished skulls!

Sarah's is the multi color one, Rob's is in the front that looks like it's gray/red/blue. Jenna's is the other one up front and she wrote "stay away" on it! Meghan's is the one with eye lashes and fangs and mine is half white half black with red down the middle.

Top view

We all had fun and I think everyone wants me to get more to paint. I think my girls would do a paint project daily if I let them.

Oh, Meghan's skull has a pumpkin on the back!.....I had to remove that picture because it had a view of my backsplash and it isn't finished.  I want to hold off showing it until it is done. I guess you can see the countertop, but I will keep a little of the new kitchen view until the final reveal.

Cake Pops

Meghan and I made cake pops for the first time today.

I purchased a box with all the supplies needed, but I had to go out and buy more melts (over melting causes it to mess up).   We will try again and I think I will make them much smaller next time.  They tasted great but I think  they are a little too sweet (I'm a chip/salty kinda girl).

They were easy to make and a fun activity to do with my big girl.

Picture time

I asked Sarah if I could take her picture before Church this morning and she said sure!

She wanted a picture of blankie first.

 This is her serious look!

CHEEEESSSSEEE

And a close up. Baby girl has a sore in her nose, one on one of her big toes and is just having a rough weekend.

She still doesn't like going to bed on her own, which means she is tired and a little more bossy/moody.

She is still lovable and hungry!

She is wearing an outfit that was Jenna's from way back (and maybe even Meghan's).

Tea Party

A tea party was held in the Florida room last weekend. 

Meghan is too tall to sit at the picnic table so she hung out on the side.

The picnic table's first owners are both in college this year....wow, hard to believe.

It has traveled around the world with us and the girls have some great memories around it.

Sarah LOVED having a picnic with her big sistesr and I think they had a great time too!  

Wegerzyn Gardens MetroPark

We had a really fun day out today. This area has some pretty awesome MetroParks. They are free and have so much to offer. Wegerzyn Gardens has a Children's Discovery area and the girls played in water, watered plants, played in sand, and checked out all the beautiful plants and gardens.

I caught someone smiling!

Very cool tree.

Pumping water to help water the flowers.

I love this photo.

  

Baby girl did great walking the trail today. 

Meghan took a few pictures of us. She is a pretty good photographer.

I was so excited when I saw this photo came out with the bumble bee so clear!

 I really had to zoom in to see him.

We had a great day out and hope to check out all the MetroParks. 

Cuddle Time

Haha  I was caught taking his picture!

We all cuddle up before bed and watch a little TV. 

Sarah crawled into Jenna's lap the other night and cuddled right up to her. It was so sweet and I think Sarah was getting some extra love because the big girls were heading back to school the next day.

All is going well and Sarah and I are enjoying our time during the day. I just need to get over a nasty cough and cold and we will be doing much much better.
