The Great Costume Debacle

Well it is the 2nd of October so naturally it is time to get out the Halloween costume box and see what treasures we can find. I originally was going to make Kennadee a Belle costume but we are really short on funds this month so I decided to just see what I could come up with. 

First we have the Lamb costume:

It's a cute costume but the hood kept slipping down over her eye and it scrunched up her face funny. Plus in this Texas heat (90 degrees here still) I didn't think this was the best choice!!

Next we have Raggedy Anne:

Another very cute option I actually really liked this one on her especially the striped socks! But I'm just the mom and my opinion doesn't matter so here is what Kennadee chose for her costume this year:

Birthday Party

Kennadee went to her friend Madi's birthday party last week. It was so cute. It was a care bear party. Madi's mom had made a rainbow on the wall and had made clusters of white balloons and hung them from the ceiling so they looked like clouds!! It was so cute!!

She also had some really fun games. They played Care Care Bear (duck duck goose), Musical clouds (musical chairs), Pin the belly on the care bear, they go to color wind socks, and she painted their faces. It was so fun. Kennadee had a blast.

And then she made a really cute Care Bear cake and they had ice cream and Kool-Aid. And then at the end they got a goodie bag and they got to pick three prizes. It was so much fun!

Red, Red, Red

So those of you who know me know that I love to color my hair! It has been every shade from blonde to purple. But my favorite color to do it Red. It also seems that every fall I end up coloring my hair some shade of red. So here it is almost October and now my hair is red once more. I love it!! I just wish it wouldn't fade out so fast. I am going to try to keep re-coloring it but we'll have to see how dedicated I will be!!

Hurricane Ike

Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know that we were not affected one bit by Hurricane Ike. We didn't even get any rain from it which is a major bummer because we could really use the moisture!! Thanks to all of you who were praying for us and have been concerned!! 

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Mommy, Happy Birthday to you!!!

Mom I hope you have an awesome birthday!! You are a great Mom and Nannies!! We love you very much and hope you have an awesome day!!

Love,

Kennadee's Hand Washing Opera

So sometimes I wish that I had a built in camera in my head that I can push record when Kennadee does something cute. Today I was using the bathroom and Kennadee said "Now when you are done you turn on the water and washa washa washa hands and then you get the soap and you washa washa washa hands". I asked her to do it again so I could get on film so she did but it isn't as cute as it was the first time!!

P.S. Please excuse the messy bathroom counter LOL
