Santa Claus is coming to town

Christmas 2008

Kaitlyn was so excited to sit on Santa's lap to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. She started talking before she even hit his lap.

Look at the hands.....she is still talking......I love it!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

2008

Sapientia Montessori School

Kaitlyn started attending Sapientia Montessori School in Cedar Park on September 2. I am proud to announce that she loves it. She is involved in additional enrichment programs such as Tumblebus, Soccer and Spanish. The school is a good distance from our house, but seeing her grow and learn is well worth my "road rage".

Our New Pet

What an interesting evening.....Kaitlyn as calm as she could be said, "mommy, there is an owl in the other room." As I would assume most parents would, first, your child knowing what an owl is at 3 and second telling you there was one in your other room was to me.....far fetched. Once Kaitlyn grabbed my arm and told me to come and see this owl.....obviously I did not have a choice. Well, as she pointed to the exposed beams in the living room ceiling....there hung an owl upside down with it's beady eyes glaring at us. I grabbed my little dog as quickly as I could and told Kaitlyn to get back. I shut us off into the office and called 3-1-1.

THANKS FOR THE HELP COA!!!!

They told me to get a broom..................sounds like "the witch is in!"

The Pumpkins

2008 Pumpkins

I am not sure if this one is worried, surprised or sad......

The bat...............

Long Lost Love

I found these pictures tonight and just about lost it.....I miss my "little girl" so much and it is so hard and exciting at the same time to see her grow. These pictures were taken by Samantha Beaston on Kaitlyn's first day at her house when she was taking care of her. The little boy is Ethan and it just looks like the two of them were meant to be friends. How cute!

"The Witch is in"

I wanted to share some of our halloween decor' with you......I love halloween!!!

Please stop by this year and pick up some good ol' treats.

Handtowels....how silly.

This is Ned....he is dead......he talks to you.....and he also likes to stick his tongue out....somehow I don't think Ned is quite right!


The most appropriate of them all......my front door "the witch is in!" Go ahead figure this one out on your own.......I think when Dallas said it was appropriate he was referring to me....... but, I still have not yet got it.

Short but sweet....happy halloween folks!

Officially Spoiled

The great thing is.....Kaitlyn has a new outfit, hair ties and clips......

So, today on our way home after picking the "spoiled" one up from school, she told me---key word, "told" me that there is going to be a box at the front door for her. I proceeded to let her know that she doesn't just get boxes left at the front door for her on a regular basis. As confidently as she could possibly be, she said, "well, there will be one there today." I explained to her I did not want her feelings to get hurt if there was not a package, so I told her "there would not be one."

Well, little did I know.....the "spoiled" one showed me. We pull in the drive and got out of the car. She ran to the front door and brought me a box........what in the world........NANA????? I knew Nana was getting her this button dress, like Kaitlyn's cousin, but boy, did I feel like the jellyfish today.

So, here you go Nana, here is her button dress however, she will not put the blouse on. By the way it is really cute. It has buttons on the sleeves.
