We Can Pretend

Erin came downstairs this morning wearing this lovely outfit. She thought they matched since some of the stripes are the same colors. I told her that she really didn't match well and she said: "Mom we can just pretend that I match." :) Well, wherever we go today people will know who dressed herself today!

The Truck and Our Little Indian

At school Bailey made an Indian necklace, vest and hat-and I just love the caption on the back of the vest! Interesting thing about the necklace-they strung beads and potato chunks on it. After drying, the potatos shrivel, get hard and look like rocks. I never knew that they could do that....

And...as promised...a picture of our new truck! It's a little dirty, but luckily you can't really see that in the picture. Nice, huh?

Our new truck!

Well, pictures will follow, but we bought a truck this weekend! I haven't taken any pictures yet because we came home in the snow with it so it is dirty and Josh has it at work. But we are all very excited to finally be a 2 vehicle family! :) We've managed with one car for almost 8 years now, but Josh needs the car more at work and I need the car more with the girls-and we figured a truck would be good since we always have yard waste to haul to the dump! It is a Dodge Dakota: white; 2001 with 71K miles on it, and best of all it is the 4 door variety so we can all fit in it! The girls were super excited to go get it, of course! I'll post pictures soon!

A little funny from Erin: She was helping me with the laundry yesterday and she said: "Okay, everything is out of the dryer, let's empty the wetter." :) Makes perfect sense, the dryer dries the clothes and the wetter gets them wet. I love the way her brain works! So no longer do I have a washing maching, I have a wetter machine.

Happy Halloween!

Well, here is what the girls costumes looked like this year. Bailey's rainbow costume stumped me a bit, and I'm not quite sure she exactly looks like a rainbow but she loved it and that is what counts! :) How to make Erin's pig nose got me thinking, but it turned out really cute. And don't ya love the sign on her back? All the adults we saw got a big kick out of that. She obviously doesn't understand it, but loved that people laughed when they saw it so she called it her "joke sign".




As much as the girls loved going trick-or-treating, I think they have more fun handing out the candy when they come back! They sat on the porch singing and dancing. :) Erin yelled "Happy Halloween!" to everyone that ran by, which made me smile everytime. Sometimes the girls would see some kids coming and they would grab some candy and run to the middle of the yard to meet them there. They couldn't even wait for the kids to get to the porch! Such cute girls!
