"Punkin" Time

In the words of Abby, its Punkin time. Translation, pumpkin time. Abby and I spent a couple hours this morning with friends at the local pumpkin patch. She had a great time playing with her little friends as did I .

So, if your sick of all the pumpkin patch blogs that seem to surface this time of year, tough! You see, I'm not your typical "take your kid on an outing for fun" kind of mom. So, the fact that we went, and I remembered my camera, deserves to be documented.

picture of what Abby would look like with her ears pinned back)

She's so stinkin' cute

No pumpkins were purchased. Tiffany and Nicole would go into cardiac arrest if I had picked out their pumpkins for them! Looks like we'll be back.

Tiffagail

I was going through some old photos the other day and came across some old pictures of Tiff that resembled Abigail just a tad. I don't know, perhaps more than a tad. See if you can tell who is who. They are both around the same age in these pictures, both LOVE/LOVED Barney, both still like to run around in diapers/panties and a t-shirt, and both HATE to have their hair combed!

ACCESS GRANTED!

It's here. The moment we have all been waiting for. Drum roll............Yes, I have been given permission to speak of the "oh so private one" on my blog. Very exciting, I know!

Andrew had an amazing opportunity to spend a week in China (yes I was invited. no, I was dumb and didn't go). He saw many amazing things like The Great Wall, Forbidden City, Water Cube, Birds Nest and much more (we still need to go through the pictures).

One of the things he was most excited to see was this guy........



He was working out in the Hotel gym and this guy was the only other person there. They swapped plates, spotted each other, you know, guy stuff. Let's also keep in mind that Andrew is 6'4" and he looks like a midget here!

** Ladies, if you don't know who this guy is, ask your husbands, boyfriends, whatever. Maybe they'll be impressed.

Since I have been granted access to speak of Andrew, I'm going to take advantage of it. I just want to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow (24th) and tell the whole world how wonderful...blah,blah,blah...how lucky I am....blah,blah,blah....must stop now, making myself nauseous. You complete me (sniff,sniff). Love you Angelbabe!!

Senior Moments...

You know you're getting older when either one of the following happens to you.....

1. You take a shower, and as you are squirting conditioner in your hand you can't remember (FOR THE LIFE OF YOU!) if you shampooed 30 seconds earlier.

2. You have a conversation with you 10 year old that goes a little something like this;

child- mom, those lines around your mouth show really bad (pointing to her own smile lines).

mom- thanks (sarcastically)

child- WHAT? I just thought you might want to get some cream or somethin' to fix it!

mom- hmmm

child- (mumbling to herself) they look like parentheses.

Yes, these both happened to me today. Looks like its time for some Ginkgo biloba and Botox!

Hooray for Headphones!

Abigail will finally (sometimes) use the headphones! She finds a position where they fall off and then she holds totally still. I seriously don't know how we survived without t.v. in the car (okay, maybe I do). I know, it's probably not a good thing blah,blah,blah......

Back to School

School started Wednesday and Tiffany and Nicole went back in style! So cute....

Tiffany is officially "ruler of the school" (fifth grader). I can't believe she's going to be in middle school next year!
Nicole is in fourth grade and it's always HIGH DRAMA with her! Every day I get a very detailed report on pretty much everyone in her class.

So Funny, Seriously!

Thanks Amy for introducing me to this... Seriously, So Blessed. I laughed so hard I was almost in tears. So funny, so true, so totally made up.
