It's Beginning to Feel a lot Like Christmas...

On Saturday we spent some time together decorating our Christmas tree! The girls were super excited and they did a great job. We tried a new location for the tree this year and it worked out great because we didn't have to rearrange our entire dining room to set it up!

The Florida Aquarium

While visiting Grandma and Grandpa Buddy in Tampa, we decided to go check out the Florida Aquarium.  The kids had a great time looking at the sea life and even got to touch some of the animals!  Here are some pictures from our day.

My cuties

Last week I brought a bag full of nonperishable food as well as some other items to Emily's school.  They were collecting Thanksgiving meal donations for needy families.  Emily said, "Mom, why do you have that bag?"

"It's a bag full of food for a family who doesn't have any.  It's for Thanksgiving."

She got a very concerned look on her face, and then she said, "Are the Cheetos in there?" LOL!!

and...
Yesterday I took Bailey to the mall.  As we were driving around to find a place to park, she kept pointing to the different stores and saying, "Is THAT the mall?"  It was so cute!  She also does the same thing when putting a puzzle together: "Does THAT piece go there?"

They are such cuties!!

More THAT!

This morning I gave Bailey a Vienna Finger (my favorite cookie).  She opened it and ate all of the creme filling.  Then she brought me the two cookie pieces and said, "More that!"

So I said, "More what?"

And she pointed to the place where the creme used to be and said, "More THAT!"

LOL!  I told her she had to eat the cookie before I'd give her another one.  Silly kid!

Liam's room--update

Mom went shopping and so did I--so Liam's room got a bit of an update this weekend!  Dad finished putting up the trim and got the clothes rack in the closet so I am washing clothes and getting them all ready to go!  We have a little more work to be done--the doors need to be painted and doorknobs installed, and some electrical work since the light switch needs to be moved and a ceiling fan installed.  I am thinking of getting a shelf to go over the changing table as well.  But other than that, things are done and we are ready to meet our SON!

Halloween Fun

 

 Emily and Bailey were super excited to celebrate Halloween this year.  Every day Emmy would ask me if Halloween was "the next day" because she wanted to wear her costume and get candy!  Bailey was also looking forward to it; she kept bringing me her costume and asking to wear it.  However, on the big day, she refused to wear her costume and didn't get to trick-or-treat.  Daddy is a softie, though, and he got a bag full of candy for her.  Meanie Mommy was just going to make her miss out.  She is SUCH a stinker sometimes!  Here we are in our costumes!  It was fun to dress up and see the other neighborhood kids.  We only did one block of our development and got tons of candy--maybe when the girls are bigger we'll let them do the whole 'hood. :)
