Happier Things

I am not posting about a certain team. My post brought them bad luck and must have been responsible for making them give up 4 runs in the eighth inning, but again, I'm not talking about them.

Last week I brought the girls to the Pumpkin Patch on PCH. They have rides and a petting zoo. The downfall is that it is really expensive - especially for me these days. But, the girls had a blast. Ruby actually sat on the horse on the carousel(she normally prefers the bench) - but I suppose if your baby sister is on one, you better, too! I even put Ruby on the bumper boats - after I saw a mom put her 3 year old twin boys on. I always feel uncomfortable about carnie rides. She really wanted to, so I gave in. When I saw where her feet were, it was right where the motor was! WTH! I thought "I am going to kill this place if she gets burned or zapped!" See the video below - it's pretty cute and certainly makes me HAPPY! Yes, I know... Bean needs her doo cut!

Ruby and Abby on the faux Dumbo.

OK, maybe this doesn't make me happy, but it did make me laugh. Seriously, we are renting and she is going to destroy the house. I was in the other room and came out to find her RIPPING the screen out... is this a sign of things to come?

We had Kim and the kids over for a Pumpkin Painting project. Surprisingly, they all did really well, it lasted more than 2 minutes, and, of coarse, Bean was the only one with a mouth full of blue paint.

Taylor has the cutest profile around!

The finished projects... so cute!


Saturday was Kelly's birthday party at Glory Days. It was so nice to get out and socialize with adults:) Happy Birthday, my love!



Me and my BFF! Love the new bangs.


Sunday we had a get together for Anthony's Aunt Mary and Uncle Don. They are very sweet people and we are sad that we don't get to see them more often - they live in Arkansas. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of them, but cousin Jade was there and the kids had a blast wearing each other out! Thanks to everyone who came!



This may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but is sure made me happy. Ever since Ruby started school, she is learning so much every day!! Below is a picture of a a happy face and a sad face that Ruby drew on the sidewalk. Kim said it best... it is such a good feeling knowing that your kids are in school and not WATCHING TV ALL DAY:)

Last, Abby had her 18 month old check up last week. She is 31.2 pounds and 34 inches. Neither were even on the growth chart!

HAHAHAHA!! I was going to say the same thing that Angie did about the screens!!
I love how you taped off a spot for everyone to paint their pumpkins, I would have never thought of that!! I'm going to use it when I need to put all 3 kids in a time out!
