Thankful for my 2 goofy kids


Happy Thanksgiving!


I got up this morning and right away noticed all the snow we got and it was still snowing.  My favorite thing is waiting for my kids to get up and watching there faces light up when they see it out the window.  What a fun way to start out my Thanksgiving morning!

I'm so thankful that I'm the mother to these 2 amazing kids.  They are fun, crazy, naughty, sweet, and test my patience every day.  But I wouldn't trade them for anything.  

I hope you all have an amazing Thanksgiving.

Kayla's New Do

I now for sure deserve the bad mom of the year award.  A few months ago I took Kayla in for her first ever hair cut. . . and forgot my camera.  I told myself, no big deal, I'll just take it next time and pretend that was her first hair cut.  Well, I scheduled hair cuts today, set out my camera, checked it for naughty pictures (JEREMY!), and left the house without it again!  Anyway, I ended up cutting a lot off her hair.  I know I said I would never cut my baby girls beautiful long hair, but I broke down and decided healthier is better.  I think we took about 3+ inches off!!!!!  Yikes, but I must say, without all that wispy, thin, scragely hair at the bottom, it looks really good.  I'm so sad to think that she is almost 3!  I'm not very emotional about my kids growing up, but Kayla hair is one of my sensitives subjects.   But I got through it and did what was best.  Now I have to wait and see what Mike has to say (I didn't tell him I was cutting her hair off).  I went in thinking I was going to just trim the ends again but didn't.

Halloween

Don't they make cute pirates! 

The kids had so much fun trick-or-treating around the neighborhood with all of their cousins.  With 9 total we made quite the group running through town collecting candy.  Makayla carried her little pumpkin around hugging it telling it how much she loved it!  She was all about getting that candy.


 Carving pumpkins.  I didn't really get many shots of the carving.  I was to busy 'carving' mine and trying to keep Kayla from covering herself in paint.  That didn't work out so well.

 Aiden and my pumpkins.  Aiden was a little disappointed in his.  He wanted it to be really scary like Nicks.  I  thought it was great for his first ever pumpkin {with a little help from his Dad.}
