Madd Hatters

The other night after bathtime the girls got into my closet and pulled out these hats. It was Penelope's Idea to dance around with the hat's and sing song's. They were so cute together. I didn't post the pictures of Penelope going nut's when she stepped on her hat and it got smushed. The pictures were so funny. She ran around the room with her hair in her face screaming "Help me my hat's broke. Oh no mommy, oh no!"

Tea Leaves and Thyme

This is a picture from a couple weeks ago. My neighbor Lizzie (center) celebrated her birthday October 31st. She turned four. She took Emma, Anisa and us moms to Tea Leaves and Thyme in Woodstock for an afternoon tea party. It was so much fun. Emma went to the tanning bed for the occasion. No, just kidding, but I did think it was funny how dark she looks in all the pictures. Emma is so thankful to have other little girls in the neighborhood to play with. As I am typing this the two girls are outside my house waiting for Emma to wake up from a nap so that she can come out and play. Thanks girls for being her friend.

Funny friend

This is Luke on Halloween night. He looks a little spooked. I think the flash was a too bright. He loves this little creature toy. I can't figure out what it's supposed to be. It is cute how he pulls on the legs and sucks his thumb while he holds on to it. He tries to talk to it like it's his long lost bud. I'de love to call it something other then creature.
Any thoughts on what it is?

Katie's wedding

November 3rd my cousin Katie was married to Randall Keele in Tulahoma Tennessee. Thomas and I drove up with Luke and attended the wedding. Katie looked beautiful. This is my mom with Luke. He did not do so well during the wedding. He seemed to enjoy the reception.
Me at the reception. It was a lot of fun catching up with family. I enjoyed seeing you all. Thomas was so great to come along with me. He was such a great date:) We both had a good time.

Rock City Gardens

These are pictures from our trip to my cousins wedding in Tennessee. Thomas and I took Luke and had a weekend getaway. We stayed the night in Chattanooga and spent the afternoon and evening at Rock City Gardens. This place is beautiful. Thomas and I love being outdoors. The leaves were the perfect back drop for photos. We took the kids two years ago, so it was fun to go back and walk through the gardens and reflect on where we are now.

Here is my hubby walking along the swinging bridge...
This is a picture from the top of Lover's Leap. We are standing at the top of the water fall. You can see all of Chattanooga behind us. It was a little cloudy, but the view was still beautiful with all the leaves changing colors.

Carmel Apples

I am going to try and play catch up. This is a fun project we did last week before Halloween. We had a blast making candy apples. Noah ate the whole apple down to the core. Nele ate the carmel and nuts. Emma ate the sprinkles and nuts. She was very picky to not get the carmel stuck in her teeth. We saved an apple for daddy, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I know that it will be a great treat when it pops up. Isn't that gross!!!!!!!
