Rainy Day

I love rainy days. Especially when I get to make cookies with my chillins. Saturday was perfect day to get out the Halloween cookie cutters and roll out the dough. Actually this was Wyatts idea, his exact words "Mama I want to make cookies, want to roll them and eat 'em" and that was exactly what he did.

Growing up?

So is this how life goes when you are raising a pre-teen daughter? One minute she is wearing ruffles and pigtails and the next minute she is sneaking clothes out of the house. This morning I noticed the outfit Gabrielle had set out consisted of a tank top and an old pair of jean shorts, ok not so bad but didn't I just go out and spend almost an entire paycheck on new school clothes? Nordstrom, Abercrombie, etc. Yea, she's spoiled. So I mentioned to her the nice new shorts I had recently purchased for her, and with a little argument from her she agreed to wear the new ones. Well, Gabrielle goes to my moms every morning and on this particular morning she took her clothes with her to get dressed. I saw her grab her "new" shorts and a belt and "Goodbye mom, luv ya" off she went. As she was walking to the car after school I noticed those dingy, tad bit too small jean shorts on her. When I asked her when put them on, I was thinking she was going to say the other shorts bothered her but she said "I put them on at Nanas" WHAT? "Gabrielle you hid them from me and purposely took the ones I wanted you to wear so I wouldn't get mad?" You know what the kid said! "Yes" She totally admitted lying and being deceitful to me. I never remember doing something like this to my mom, I was perfect, I was! What am I in for?

Is it the weekend yet?

Our weekends have been so great lately that it is all I can think about. The one coming up means Julian for apple and pumpkin pickin. We were going to wait till October 20th but Garon swears that it will be crazy that weekend, oh well I am ready anyway. Fall here we come!

Gabrielle made "Playground Patrol" I am so proud of her, I asked her what it meant and she said she gets to help with the kinders at lunch assisting them with opening their milk and throwing away their trash, how cute. It seems like just yesterday when Gabrielle was a kinder. Time fly's so fast now a'days. Wyatt is doing great at preschool I think he is the most popular with the girls, he came home the other day and wanted to kiss just about everything even the front door. I wonder who is teaching him these things?
So, Marissa what is the date? You know I am ready! Oh yea, you can now comment on my blog, cause you know I really want to know what you have to say.
I am off to get dinner done, tonight it is Braised Apple and Sauerkraut Pork Chops and Mashed Potatoes, yummy!

I Love My Freinds!

Last night Sage, Jer, Travis and Marissa came over for dinner and we had a great time. I woke up this morning and immediately wanted to blog. Sage I expect you to do the same. Girls, why didn't we get the camera out? At least we could have taken pics of our beautiful pizzas we made. I want to start a tradition to get together once a month at each others house, want to? Maybe if we set time aside to do it on the calendar we will actually do it. The kid's were out of control but at least they were good for a few laughs. Wyatt woke up bright and early at 6am, good thing Garon is a morning person. It took Gabrielle till 9:30 to come around, she's my good one. Did I mention, I LOVE MY FRIENDS!

Wyatt's 1st Day

Wyatt started preschool on October 1st. He was so excited to be going to a big boy school that actually has bikes and a real playground. He woke up early, got dressed, brushed his teeth got his hair combed and grabbed his Pirates of the Caribbean lunch sak. He was ready to go. When mom and sissy dropped him off he gave a quick kiss and went on his way. Our baby is growing up.
