Ready For A Wagon Ride to the Playground

Once we do something once, we have to always do it, it

seems. When we go for a ride in the wagon now, Royanne has to

have her hat and her sunglasses. Mind you, she really

doesn't like hats anymore. Case and point:

the other day I kept turning around from pulling the

wagon to be sure she hadn't thrown her sunglasses overboard,

but I somehow forgot about her hat. It was her birthday hat

that said

THE BIG 1

so I had to go back and find it. I thought surely it hadn't

been missing long, I would have noticed. We were 3/4 of the way on our

journey, but I had to back track for the hat. It was in front of

our friend Luther's, and he lives about 6 or 7 houses away

from our house! We practically went back to the beginning.

Backtracking was the longgggggggggg way, so that day we took

2 walks, sort of.

She has my glasses, my keys and she's

sitting on my phone!

Cardboard Shoes

SILLY GIRL

Purple Shoes

Remember, Royanne loves shoes.

The Children's Place had a CLEARANCE sale in Hillsboro,

& we popped in last time

we went to Ft. Worth and we got these cute little shoes

for Royanne for $4.99.

Front, top and side views.

They have just a little bit of sparkle to them,

here and there.

See how cute they are, how tiny!! Here they are

displayed next to my reading glasses.

If You Give a Pig a Pancake....

If you haven't read the children's book

If You Give A Pig A Pancake, let me suggest you do.

It is very cute.

If you give a kiddo a chocolate chip cookie, homemade, chocked

full of chips, then it is ...........

very messy!

If you give my kid some green beans,

kidney beans and

mac n cheese, not from a box, but really

cheeeeeeeeeeeeessssssyyyyyy...

she'll throw her fork down........

use her fingers....

and you'll get a real big

MESS!!!!

Have Phone Will Travel

Now that Ro is getting taller, she can reach things on the

kitchen counter and island that she wasn't able to just a few weeks

ago (and she's outgrowing her footie pjs, too).

Leave your phone unattended, (or your keys

or mail.....) and she'll grab it. She gets a charge

out of things that aren't hers. And she DOES

know the difference.

You ask for it back, and you get this face, so you

have to decide: Is it worth the risk of possible

destruction to break her heart?

She loves the sounds coming from cell phones,

especially the Trio.

Halloween 2008

We met Kay, Craig, Mimi and the kids at the

pumpkin patch so Craig could buy the kids a few

pumpkins.

Liam and Royanne rode in the wagon for

a while.

Abby was dressed as a fairy of some kind, in a dark

colored tu-tu. Liam was dressed in his pajamas!

Missing teeth due to a falling accident. He fell on his

teeth and they were dying, so they had to be pulled.

He sounds so cute when he talks!

What a difference a year makes!

We went to TRICK OR TREAT A TRUNK

at church Halloween night. Our trunk was decorated

with ghosts, spider webs and yellow crepe paper.

You can see Royanne standing in the trunk with her bag

that has a skunk glued to it!

She didn't understand the concept of gathering

candy, but she sure enjoyed handing out the stuff!

Tanner the cow.

CUTE!
