Charlotte and Isabella

Meet our newest family members. You would think they were sweet soft kittens. The girls hold them, pet them and check on them every 5 seconds!!

Thanksgiving Feast

Today Amelia had her Thanksgiving feast at school. It was her year to dress like an Indian.

Turkey time

The girls are excited about Thanksgiving!!

Grandma

Today is old person day....we sent Donald to get baby powder for her hair...he did not get unscented.

Red ribbon week

It is red ribbon week at Amelia's school, so break from the uniforms. Monday was red day.

Kitchen makeover

My kitchen is finally done. Between softball, weddings, and sickness it was a long process but it looks 1000x better!

On the countertop we used a product by Rustoleum that you paint on,spread chips that make a ginormous mess and then seal. They look great, and they cost only about $225!!

We had painted white cabinets before with pretty gold hinges and the most beautiful gold and white ceramic knobs....the whole thing was hideous!! We decided to repaint with white and put on new knobs and drawer pulls. I was lucky on the pulls they were marked down from $4.55 to $1.62 but at checkout rang up .55 yea!!

We also replaced the sink and faucet which looks so much better....now if I could only replace the beast...I mean my oven!

And I am not real sure how to post from my phone and keep the pics in order....

Turkey

Avie is sick so we have to stay inside...so we made turkey's.

We also made pumpkin muffins that are so good and easy. Yellow cake mix and can of pumpkin. We added mini chocolate chips to one pan

Back to blogging

I took a hiatus from blogging....I blame Pinterest...anyway we are back.  The girls love to look back and see what we were doing last year.  They loved Halloween, and if you trick or treated in our neighborhood (we had over 400) you could also celebrate Christmas since the lady across the street has already decorated....inside and out:)

We went with Hannah (and her parents) to the Pumpkin Patch. 

 Avie is wild as ever.  She is either going 100 mph or asleep.  She is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!  At times....bad!!  She is not afraid of anything and will try everything (total opposite of Amelia).  Some of her favorite things are: climbing, jumping (she stood on the back of the couch to see if she could jump to the floor.....she made it.....but my lamp did not), running, riding her bike (we have tried without training wheels already), hot sauce (as in tabasco on everything), mustard, her Lady dog, and if you know her at all you know her MOST favorite thing in the world....chocolatey milk!!!! 

She says the funniest things and her mind is always working!  She also loves to fight with Amelia, and Amelia loves to fight back, that creates funny times for Donald and I:)

Avie refused to look at the camera and just smile, every pic I have from Halloween she looks like this!

 So we just moved her off to the side:)  (kinda like my text here....ugh blogger)

They are excited about Thanksgiving...I think Amelia is because she will be out of school, Avie would live at her school if allowed.
