Random October happenings

I am incredibly blessed.  Blessed with a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful healthy girls.  This past week I had the opportunity to bake with my V for a school project.  She is doing a marketing project in class and they had to make their "goods" and sell them at the school carnival friday night. 
We made them wednesday night, she brought them to school the next day and friday during her lunch period/recess we packaged them to be sold later that night. 
I found this idea from Pinterest through a friend whom I "follow".  If you know anything about Pinterest, you will know exactly what that means!  :)  If you don't, I encourage you to check it out but watch out- it's addicting!!

Wednesday night

Notice- V is in her robe while we made

the cupcakes.  That is because it was one of

those "opportunities" where your child comes

to you at 8:30 pm when they are on their way

to bed and say in a panic, "mom, I am supposed

to bring my cupcakes to school tomorrow!  What

should I do?"  That is when you are very glad

you have (almost) all the ingredients on hand!!

And then you look at that beautiful smile

and have a "hard" time being mad....

for very long!!  ha!

Aren't they just the cutest things you ever did see!?!

Look at those eyes! 

Friday morning 

And here we are friday at school helping her package

them to be sold at the fall carnival. That was

because V says on the way to school (that morning!)

that she needs something to package them in something

so they can be bought and taken home.

So, since  that's what moms are for I am such a good

mom (hahaha) I ran to the store later that morning

and picked up some clear bags.  Then we spent an

hour (her hour of lunch/recess) packaging them.

Wish I had a ribbon or something to put on them

to decorate them, but oh well, they are

cute anyway!

H sure enjoyed eating part of V's lunch!

Let me tell you, this girl is Amazing!!!!

I am so proud to be your mom,

precious girl!!

Saturday morning

Friday night V went off to a retreat

for church and was gone all weekend.

So it was just the 3 of us! 

Saturday morning, we got up early, hit

a few garage sales, had breakfast at

IHOP and spent an hour at the park.

I think H was enjoying having daddy

all to herself!

This girl LOVES to swing.

And she pretty much has no fear as

to how high she goes.

 

I, on the other hand, do have that fear

for her and wish she did too!

Crazy girl!!

Her other favorite thing is the slide!!

"Race you daddy!"

"daddy, you're too slow!"

Just so you know I was there too ,

I had Chad take a picture!  hee hee

I LOVE this picture!!!!

  The great man is he who does not

lose his child's heart
