I'm Realizing That All Parenting Is Is Good Threats and Good Bribes.

I didn't realize how fun it was going to be to laugh WITH my kids. The other day I spiked Gwens pony and Evelyn thought it was funnier than I did. So I did it again today with her piggies and we left them like that until they deflated. Little sister had no idea why we were taking this picture other than I said, 'sit down for a picture and I'll give you a candy.' I'm realizing that all parenting is is good threats and good bribes.

Lo and behold, the antennas:
Matching Jammies, matching french braids, matching barbies, matching cuties.

Little Matching Sisters

Hey all. Three months without posting? Thats not like me. Whipped out the camera and snapped a quick pic of the girls. They love matching almost as much as I love them matching. And they love sitting in their chairs.

Happy Girls

It Is Finished

Hello Christmas Advent Calendar! I've been wanting one of these forever but didn't want to make it. So, me and my Reed sister-in-laws all shared the honor of making the ornaments and based our pattern off of one Janae found mixed with the one they grew up with. I just finished it about 20 minutes ago and had to post it.

Here we are with the empty calendar as it now sits on the wall. Waiting for December to add ornaments...

And here it is all decked out in its beauty.

So happy right now!

My cuties

Just wanted to share some pics from the other night.

Doesn't it look like they're up to something?

Blood... no, it's paint.

I don't know why we don't finger paint more. It's very entertaining and it is never as messy as I think it's going to be. Seriously. Now you don't know if I'm kidding or not.

Here are my cuties, all messy and...WHAT? Smiling for the camera? Now you know why I blogged about finger painting.

Evelyns work.
It looks like she cut her finger. The paints mixed together always make this maroonish color. Don't know why. Should it be black or white or something?

Who's happy?

Cat n' Mouse

Here are the shyest cat and mouse in all of Halloweenville.

Vacation

I think that the definition of vacation should be: the best thing in the whole world. Anyone agree? I LOVE to go on vacation. We went on a cruise last week with Dereks side of the family and had so much fun.
Here we are enjoying the sun, sand, and warm weather at Coco Cay.
Swiming in the ocean at Paradise Islands Cabbage Beach. Most beautiful beach we had ever been to.

All of us after snorkeling at Nassau, Bahamas.

Formal night. Loved it.

We had a great time and made some great memories. Namely, Goldies Fish Fry.
