No. 44!!

Well, it's over. The big race has been run and the winner is Obama!

Girlie should be happy with this as her support for Obama never waivered (I'm sure Crystal had something to do with this hehe) This video was taken way back in February! She already had the chant down! Everytime you'd say "Who is going to be our next President?" she'd reply "Obama"

So the morning after the election I asked her "So who IS our next President?" and she glady said "Obama!" What other 3 year old has such a political view already?

This is the shirt Girlie wore on election day to school! Would be nice if her shirt becomes reality! :) I think she'd do a fine job!!

I hope the next term serves us well! I'm definitely proud to be an American, always have been, and I hope this term doesn't make me jaded!

I wish Obama well! Welcome to the White House Mr. President!

Valet parking where?

Ok, so on Saturday I was at a local store and found a lovely sign plastered on their doorway. The sign not only took me by surprise but seriously peeked my interests enough to post a blog about it.

Now if you are a local and know the location of this Walmart you completely understand why they need valet parking but overall isn't it nuts to think that a Walmart is offering Valet Parking?

Since when is going to the cheapest store in America at enough of a level to require valet parking? It cracks me up!

Notice at the bottom of the sign it says "Just one more way we are helping our customers save money and live better!" How is valet parking saving money? I mean, I know it's free but you should tip the guy and it's not really saving me anything if I don't even tip, it's just not costing me anything. And how is it helping me live better? Living better doesn't really mean having someone else park my car so I don't have to walk very far. Thus, creating an even lazier customer base!

Oh this just all makes me chuckle!

Also, I can't even imagine the caliber of peeps they have doing the valet parking - is your car safe?

JUST SAYING!!!

Fall Festival/Halloween Party

Girlie's school had their Fall Festival/Halloween Party today. She went dressed as a Fairy and Bitty went dressed as a puppy! :) Mom and I were lucky enough to attend. The kids had a blast but man those teachers are a blessing, I could not do that all day!

My beautiful babe!

They had two pinatas and she was such a good hitter that they let her go first the second time! She kept hitting and hitting and hitting that thing - think she's got some pent up anger :/



Her teacher, Ms. Tawana, got in on the action too! So much fun!



When it broke the kids didn't really go rushing, they had to tell them too and then they were very selective about what they picked up. Girlie was very selective and only picked up the things she liked! lol

See her checking out the loot before putting it in her bag? LOL

Then it was time for lunch! Mom and I prepared all their plates while they broke the pinata! They had the cutest little ghost shaped sandwiches! Her and her friends!

Girlie loved that we brought Bitty Baby along and she was telling her friend MJ that he could hold her! :) SO SWEET!

I'll be going to get her to trick or treat at work soon! She'll be a pirate then! Many costume changes today! Then we'll trick or treat at home! SUCH FUN TIMES!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

The Halloween Festivities continue

Carving pumpkins is so much fun and ICKY too! Sydney was lovin' the icky parts as well as the fun! She drove right in and was up to her elbows in pumpkin' guts LOL

"See a seed Momma!"
"What's this?"

"Oh this is neat!"

Our smilie face (Sydney chose this)

She can't wait to see it at night lit up! She's so excited about everything today and so tired already!

She keeps saying "Momma put a candle in it!"

SO CUTE! I love having a kid. It makes me acting like one not seem so outrageous LOL

Gearing up for Halloween!

I'm so excited for Halloween (I've mentioned that before here). We did our first "Halloweeny" type thing on Friday evening with Henry & Family at the Nashville Zoo. Their annual Halloween event is "Ghouls at Grassmere" and it's so much fun!

Our pirates!! H & Girlie had a blast and looked fantastic! The cutest kids there BY FAR :)


Girlie getting a treat! I have to say that this year they gave away much nicer things than last! It's really a big advertisement for some companies that participate but it's FUN!


Our second big Halloween thing was creating our pumpkins. We aren't finished with them yet (will be carving one tomorrow - nothing like waiting til the last minute) but we had these neat Mr. Potato head type things for our other pumpkins. Girlie LOVED them and enjoyed picking out what went on each pumpkin.

Then I had a little fun with the pumpkin decorations too! :)

It's funny how things have changed since I was a kid. We NEVER had mr potato head decorations for our pumpkins! What's the world coming too? LOL

Patty Cake Patty Cake - Er - I mean Patty Bread!

Girlie's school usually provides lunch, however, today they had to bring their own lunch and in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness they asked kids to bring their favorite pink lunch! Well, being the overdoer I am I had to go all out!!
She had pink applesauce, pink tinted ranch dip for her carrots, pink lemonade, pink mac & cheese and Nannie even made pink bread for her sandwich!

I had dinner out with Stephanie last night and when I got home I came home to this!!!!

Having a little too much fun with flour!

Although she really did help Mom out!

And we even had flour footprints in our living room!

The end result was the cutest pink lunch you've ever seen!!!!

And some of the cutest bread animals EVER!! That are pink marble inside! LOL

It's so much fun being a mom!!!

Graffiti Artist!

I've always wanted to paint a wall with chalkboard paint. ALWAYS! I FINALLY DID IT!
I painted Girlie a space in her play area that she can be a graffiti queen!! She loves it so much! Some people say I'm just giving her permission to write on the walls, but I'm actually ok with that! LOL

Us painting it!

She loves it so much!
