HORRAY for SLEEP!!!

SARAH SLEPT ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT!!! Yay! I'm so excited!

The Haircut Place

Okay, I might sound like a proud mommy here, but Adam is just such a good kid. Seriously, besides being an absolute sweetheart and wonderful big brother, he loves to brush his teeth, he plays in his room then puts himself in his bed for a nap, and he loves getting his haircut! I'm telling you, he makes this parenting thing look way to easy. So, his new favorite place is "the haircut place," he talks about it all the time. The haircut place really is so much fun. They have a train table for the kids to play with while they wait, then the kids get to sit in a fire truck watching a kids movie while the lady cuts their hair. She cuts it really quickly, then styles (spikes!) it using gel. Okay, so Adam has been pretending to cut my hair. He uses his tools from his toolbox, then makes a hair dryer sound, and then asks "do you need some jello?" (get it, gel/jello?) Okay that was a really long story just for that funny little punchline! :)

He's making a list...

I think Adam knows that Santa is watching...he's been extremly complimentary lately. The other day he gave me a hug and said "You're my beeeeeest friend. Hold my hand, let's walk together." So sweet! Then today I was trying on some clothes. I put on a long skirt & stood in front of the full length mirror. He came up to me and said "What are you? Like an angel?" Why, yes, I do look quite angelic in this. ha ha. Later I put on a shirt that tied in the back and he said "Mommy, you look like a princess." Awwww! Yep, he's on the nice list, at least for today! :) And speaking of Christmas, I'm trying to be really organized this year and do things ahead of time. I've already started making some gifts. And, today I bought the kids' Christmas clothes! Adam got a very handsome sweater, and Sarah got her very first, beautiful, Christmas dress! How fun!

Playing with our food

I saw these cute cookies in a magazine & just had to make them for a Thanksgiving party we had with our playgroup.

Then I was just feeling so creative, I made a cute little plate for Adam that night for dinner...

Baby Bling!

Just when I thought there was nothing cuter than those baby bows...my awesome Aunt Juile made Sarah a bunch of cute baby bracelets! How fun!

Our Weekend in Baton Rouge

We had a great time visiting with all of the family in Baton Rouge. It was so nice to see everyone and introduce little Sarah to the family. The kids were great in the car. Sarah slept almost the whole time in the car & Adam did great too. Saturday Grams, Aunt Julie, Jamie & Joey took us to Chuck E. Cheese. Adam had a blast playing all the games & Sarah loved all of the bright lights. Sunday was the baby shower for my cousin Heather. It was nice to see everyone there. We stayed at Mamaw & Papaw's house. Mamaw made us her famous white donuts for breakfast! And of course, red beans & rice and angel food cake for dessert. Adam stayed up way past his bedtime, got very wound up, and entertained everyone singing his Wiggles songs as loud as he could. It was pretty funny. We all had a good time. I didn't get any pictures though. My camera batteries died as soon as we got there. I had some extras but kept forgetting to put them in. It's nice to be home but being there, then leaving always makes me miss our family there! Hope you all had a good weekend too!

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween. Adam really enjoyed it this year. We went to Trunk or Treat at church and visited lots of family. Adam was Superman & Sarah was a beautiful pumpkin. We got (I mean, Adam got) a TON of candy! It was a fun night!
