Just lots of stuff

I've been neglecting the blog again... so I have lots of things to share.

Firstly, how does tinkerbell take all these pictures with little kids without flashing her chocha?


I got to go on a field trip with Breckyn and her class to Oak Glen. They had a petting zoo and a special visit from Johnny Appleseed. We tried 30 different kinds of apples and came home with some pumpkin butter. Yummy! It was so fun to see her among her little school chums.





We went to the BYU game in San Diego. It was SOOOO much fun! We sat super close to the field right by Mrs. Pitta and Mrs. Hall. The girls had a blast sitting on the nice clean bleacher ground and coloring the entire time. The sun was pretty fierce but we managed. BYU won too, so that is always good.





We started the fabulous 13 days of Halloween with a fun Halloween garland. I basically cut everything up and the girls had fun creating the faces and parts. Yes, clothing is always optional in our home.







For other Halloween activities we did our shrunken apple heads. Maybe I'll post a pic when they look super scary. We also picked out pumpkins and today the girls made Halloween cards to send to Grandparents. So fun!!



We are having a small Halloween birthday party for Kyra this year and I thought my invitations turned out cute! I just copied them from somewhere online, sorry I can't find where it was.





Whew! So that is it for now. I'm sure I'll have to post some more about our upcoming Halloween adventures...

A few of my Favorite Things

My blog has been lacking a lot lately. I've just felt uncreative and too busy with regular life to come up with interesting blogs. I don't know if this will be interesting to anyone, but I'm always interested to see what other people are in to. So maybe I'll do this once in a while. We'll see.

I've got a weakness. It is little girl clothes. I'll admit, if I love something I'll usually get it, no matter the cost. Yes, it is a weakness, but man my girls dress cute and I love it. Sorry Mom, sis, Grandpa Brown and all my frugal friends. It is my worldly side. Sue me.

When I saw this dress I immediately thought Christmas dress. My girls have to have matching Christmas dresses and I think this might be the one. LOVE.



I like the simplicity of this one maybe with some funky tights





Now I just have to get out how much I love these boots


Maybe a little more practical and versatile I'd settle for these booties. Breckyn needs something besides sandals to wear to school now that the weather has cooled off a bit. These may have to be it.




I found everything here in the Hanna Andersson catalog that came in the mail recently, also online here. The Minnetonka boots are cheaper at other venues though, like this one.

Move over Snow White

Ryder has a new crush. He was quite smitten with Snow White last year but yesterday when he met Tinkerbell... I think he forgot all about Snow White.



We first met Rosetta and he stood there staring at her with the silliest grin on his face. Then we turned the corner and there was Tinkerbell. We couldn't hold him back. He was in her arms in no time and we literally had to pry him away from her.





So I was worried about Breckyn getting chased by boys, but now I'm a little worried about Ryder chasing all the girls!!
