grandparents day....

Friday was Granparents day at Madisons school. She was so thrilled to have all 4 granparents there! I am always sooooo amazed at how much they can learn and memorize...... She did great!!!

halloween...

The elephant and the bee.... we had a great time last night with the girls... we went trick-or treating right at 5 so we could beat the crowds... also made stops at the grandparents and great-grandparents... Madison was so sweet with Olivia. Olivia is kinda shy (would you ever guess that??) Maddie would hold her hand and be so sensitive... what a great big sister!

throwback to the 80's....

so we took 2 trips down memory lane this week.

Trip #1....

I put the girls hair in the old school sponge rollers. It was like I was sitting I on the floor in the Mogion (?) Drive house.... this is just what us girls looked like on Saturday nights!! Kori and Heidi do you remember it?? I chuckled when the girls complained about it hurting when they laid down... I remember that too!!!

Typical late night melt downs...gotta love that I got it on film!!!Ok..so it really is bedtime...

then trip #2...

We stopped out at Steve and Janans house after janan had gone through the garage. She had just found some boxes with the kids old toys. Jed was so cute looking through it all and rembering so many great times... these were a few of his favorites!!

i miss danielle....

Madison came downstairs the other day holding something close to her body...she was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she turned around the object and revealed a picture of her and Aunt Danielle. "I miss her and it is not fair that she lives so far away and I never get to see her". We talked about it for a few minutes. I tried to make her feel better by telling her that they were coming for Thanksgiving. She looked and me and said " can I watch TV? I think Cartoons would make me feel better"!
