Ooohhh, Back to School, Back to School.....

 Wow, is it that time again?? I'm not sure what was up with the girls this year...normally they loooove to pose for pictures, but this year they weren't so into it. I did get a few cute ones, though. (I adore how T accessorizes. She definitely didn't get that from me, but it's so darn cute. Love it.) The girls are really excited to be heading back to school. B met her kindergarten teacher last week and is really excited about all-day school. T's "crush" is in her 4th grade class, so she's nervous about that (heehee), but otherwise excited as well. It's gonna be a little weird, just me and the little guy all day, but I'm so glad they are both eager to get back to learnin'! :)

Mr. M, teething and with a cold, was not as excited about the day, as you can see. Poor baby. :(

Been a while....

I can't believe it has been so long since I have blogged. Well...I can...but I still feel a little badly about it. I have a lot of catching up to do. Maybe I'll get around to it. Maybe I won't. We'll see. But I wanted to stop by today and spruce up the look for summer, say hello, and remind myself that I have a blog. :)

She Was Unhappy

This picture makes me chuckle every time I look at it. B is very rarely like this, which is what makes it so delightfully funny. She is usually the most cheerful, cheesiest-grinning, photo-pose-loving girl out there. (PLUS, she was wearing her Batgirl t-shirt, which typically ensures perma-grin.) But, boy, she wasn't gonna smile for me for NOTHIN'. So, I have this picture, and I'm the one smiling, instead.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! featuring M

My sweet little M, as a Sweet Pea Pod :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! featuring B

My sweet, spunky B, as Rapunzel.

The inspiration for the costume is, of course, from Disney's Tangled. A great pick for B, as she, too, is sweet, determined, kind, fiesty, and fun. :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! featuring T

T, my lovely, elegant Angelica

This was an amazingly popular costume in T's size. Nearly impossible to find. I had to get a bit innovative to pull it together, but in the end, I think she was satisfied with it. :)




In case the costume doesn't ring any bells, she was dressed up as Penelope Cruz's character from the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Fun times! She was greatly admired by all at the Trunk or Treat and chili cook-off. :)
