M's First Halloween!

Maddie Loved her costume as you can see. We went out trick or treating 2 different times. This was the first time. Not loving it. Yes this is our sweet little family. Me (pooh), Maddie (honey pot), Ster (Pimp).

This is us with my sister-in-law, Mandy and niece Lauren. She was a cowgirl, unfortunately you can't see how adorable her little dress was in this picture. Maddie's saying stop, no pictures!

"I'm serious! No more pictures!"

2 Seconds!

So I would always hear moms say how they couldn't wait til their hubby's got home so they could go to the bathroom by themselves, or take a shower, or brush their teeth, or in my case, do the dishes, etc. And I always wondered why it was so hard to take those 2 seconds for themselves. I mean I know babies are work, but come on. Well yesterday I once again understood, as I have many times before, as I've looked at the time and realized , "Oh my gosh it's 5 and I haven't even gotten dressed, when's the last time I showered, and had my hair and make up done by the time Ster got home from work??" You wouldn't think that would be too hard right!

Well yesterday I was being a good girl, sitting right by Maddie on the floor while she played. (She has me on a pretty tight leash these days, and strongly protests if I'm further than rolling distance away from her.) I had just finished my spaghetti and thought "I better go rinse this out before M gets her wild hands on it." I literally walked into the kitchen, rinsed my plate and came back to find this:

My full glass of water all over the floor and M splashing around in it! I was gone 2 SECONDS! And she was way far away from it when I left. The little devil thought that as soon as I turned my back, "Now's my chance!" And she steam rolled her way to that glass as fast as she could. She's not crawling yet, but apparently is mobil enough. Good thing it was just water or mommy would've been in big trouble! I love her little innocent face.

Yard Work!

Well, we've finally started to try and fix up our yard a bit. I should've taken a picture of all of the wild sunflowers that had taken over our yard. Not so pretty. One day last week Ster came home and poured a little slab of concrete outside of our office. We thought it'd be fun to put M's handprint in it. She wasn;t so sure about it.




Then while Ster was doing some work in the track hoe Maddie was fascinated with it, so we decided to let her take a little ride with Dad. She loved it... that is until it started moving.
