It Takes Two

It took a few trys



but finally a picture of both kids together.


PS The dress that Buggers is wearing was my sister's dress. It is about 34 years old. My sister wore it when she was 2 and so did her two daughters. My sister and two neices have had their picture taken wearing it at the same age. It was really special letting Buggers wear it today.

What do you think?

Should I update my do for the new season?????

Free "Fall"ing

I love love love the fall. It is my favorite season. It is full of color, surprising weather and wonderful memories. Hubs and I met and started dating in the fall 11 years ago. We got married in the fall 6 years ago. And Bubby was born in the fall almost 3 years ago. The fall reminds me of football games, school starting, family gatherings, halloween, volleyball season, and cool weather. I love decorating my house for fall too. Probably as much if not more than when I decorate for Christmas. I picked up some new decorations this year at some really great prices. I picked up most of it at Garden Ridge and Hobby Lobby but I did get one piece at the resale shop I like to go to on Sunday afternoons.












Happy Autumn Y'all!!!

Taking orders from Toddlers

The 3rd season of Grey's Anatomy came out on DVD this week. So hubs and I have been getting our GA fix. I worked about 60 hours this week. So it took a few days to watch a few episodes. Hubs has been working hard this week on selling stuff on Ebay. He has been doing great cleaning out our closets and bookcases. We have been working with Buggers on the parts of the body. So far she knows hair, nose, hands, and belly button. She is so cute when she does nose. We caught some pictures of her showing where Mommy's nose is.

She also loves giving kisses.

Even to herself in the mirror!!!

Buggers has also been whipping us all into shape. She has been little drill sergeant girl especially when she gets ahold of my whistle.




Bubby has been fighting a stomach bug for a few days. That's why there aren't any pics of him. He has not been up to photo shoots lately. Just got Buggers up from nap and now she feels very warm. It seems this week that the kiddos have determining our eating, sleeping and leisure schedules. But I won't complain...since I don't get to spend enough time with them.

"She Bangs...She Bangs"

Before...



After...

TILF

The most bizarre thing happened today at school. I was called to a parent conference that I had been dreading since last week. The parents were not happy that their daughter did not make the team last week. I was ready to get a butt chewing. However, I ended up getting something else....
The conference started very professional with the proper introductions and shaking of hands. After I sat in my respected spot at the table, both parents commented on me looking so nice. I blushed and said thank you. And made some comment about being the second outfit of the day since I had coached all morning. They both continued to comment on how nice I looked. Flattering as it may have been, it began to get a little weird. I proceeded to talk to them about their daughter. We talked for about 20 minutes about her skills and where she need to improve. And how we could get her into the Athletics program. All was going well until the very end of the conference. I got up to shake their hands and tell them how nice it was to meet them. They followed up by saying the same. Then the mom commented again at how nice I looked. But what happened next is what made the whole situation BIZARRE. After I shook the dad's hand he says and I quote "Red hair, freckles, and a black dress that's what I'm talkin about!" I didn't know what to say...I have never been "hit on" in a parent conference. And especially in close proximity to the wife. I quickly made an excuse about having to get to a meeting and made my exit. As I left, I was laughing in shock and amazement that a parent would do that.

Mr. Suzy Homemaker

"Whatcha doing babe?" I ask my hubby.

From the kitchen, where he is reading a book, hubs says, "You know I'm not really into that candle book, but this soap making book is really cool."

I look at him with a puzzled look.

"OMG that sounded so homo!!!" said hubs realizing what he just said.

Hysterical laughter from me....

Full Circle

This is an old tricycle that I used to have as a kid. For some reason I remember getting it at a flea market/craft show. That may be a figment of my imagination since I went to so many as a kids with my parents. I got it down the other day to see if Bubby could ride it. He did really well on it and looked so darn cute.

Survior-Woman

I have survived the first week of school. Things went surprisingly well. Tryouts went good and we didn't make too many girls cry. I do have a fall out parent conference this week that will be interesting.

Our kids had their first week back at Daddy Daycare. Things seemed to go pretty smooth here too. Hopefully all of this isn't the calm before the storm.

We took the kids to the pond near our house on Saturday. We met a really nice couple who just moved here last fall. They have a little girl Bugger's age. Bubby had a good time chasing the ducks. I got scared a few times because he gets so close to the edge. I was standing there chatting with some other moms and both kids were standing there with me. I turned my head briefly to look at something in the tree. As I turned back I see Buggers loose her balance and start tumbling into the pond. I scream and reach down for her. I luckily caught her before she went under. She did get wet all the way to her chest. She was not happy and neither was Daddy. He scooped her out of my hands and took off towards the wagon and tricycle.
