Part 2 of our family trip to Inniswood Metro Gardens!  

There's something to be said about giving a little girl a giant sucker in order to get in a few more photos...

A Walk in the Park (Part 1 of 3)

Over the weekend we joined my cousin and his family for a visit to Inniswood Metro Gardens for some family photos.  The weather was fabulous and we had a great time.  Thanks for inviting us along!

Emily and her cousin, Christian

Christian, Emily and Caleb

Em in her "Rock Star" outfit

Yeah, I don't know what they're doing either...

Posing wasn't happening for either one of them.
...so let's climb Mt. McDaddy instead!

Now we can get a cute picture!

Hide, Mr. Turkey!

Last week, Em brought home a fun bit of "family homework". 

Mr. Turkey was sent home and our mission was to disguise him so the farmer couldn't find him in time for Thanksgiving.  We talked about ideas for disguises and came up something that Emily thought would be really fun. 

I worked on wardrobe (under Em's direction)
and she worked on set design.

She's swapped hands and still smiling...

Can't tell there's a turkey under there, can you?

Decorating the classroom with lots of concentration...

Photo op!

A visit to Miss Em's Beauty Salon for a manicure!

She loves homework!
I think she's super excited about
this homework assignment!

A Walk In the Park

This afternoon was a great day to get in a great walk in the park with a lovely family.   Their kids have stunning eyes that just suck you in.  Any guesses who we might have spent the afternoon with?

We took a lot of pictures of their family and ours... and I have a new favorite picture to add to my desk!

Trick or Treat

Monday night was Trick-or-Treat night in our town.  

Em was joined by her cousins, Abby (a horse) and Ben (a gorilla).

Emily was a ballerina -

who wore a winter coat

(because it was cold and rainy all night)

and took a dive at the last turn

on the way onto our very own sidewalk

some tears, a little grass stain, and a scuffed up knee

but nothing a little band-aid couldn't fix.

Oh yeah-
 

nevermind the yellow gunk

all over her teeth

it's part of the loot she scored

...well that or she's taking the outfit

to a whole new level as

an out of work ballerina

with a lousy dental plan.

Still missing those top 2 teeth
but they're starting to make an appearance!

Emilee

Little Miss went on field trip a couple of weeks ago to Wayne's Country Market.  As one of the chaperones pinned the name tag to Emily's jacket, Em proceeded to inform them that her name was spelled wrong.  She then corrected them and said her name was spelled "E-M-I-L-E-E".   Of course, this raised the curiosity of her teacher(s)!

When I picked Em up from school, her teacher was grinning as she shared what had taken place earlier in the morning.  Em must have been fairly convincing in her argument.  Her teacher informed me later that when she asked Emily if she should ask me how her name was really spelled that Em was very quick to respond with, "No, don't ask my mom.  I'll get in trouble!"

And no... she didn't get in trouble over it.  We kind of roll with those things at our house.  Although we did find it entertaining when some of her paperwork came home a few days later with her "new" name on it.  

That's our girl!   

And... so is this one. 
Love those snuggles when we get them!
