Growing up...

So this fall has brought a few changes here.  I have had to change the way I talk to my students.  I have to keep reminding myself that when I talk about Kelsey, I have to label her as a Kinder student! I keep messing up and my students are always correcting me.  It is now October and I have completely forgotten to post a few pictures.

Kelsey officially started dance classes.  She is taking a ballet/tap class.  She was NOT excited about tap to the point she almost refused to take dance classes if tap was involved.  If took a few moments of Angelina Ballerina tap dancing to convince her to try it.  Now she is hooked! Score for mom and dad that we found her a dance class for only $12/month!

 

Cadie....what to say about Cadie.... her goal in life I have determined is to push the limits.  She is bound and determined to see just how far she can go and how much hair she can make her father lose. She is a ball of energy with no fear! Even her teacher this past week mentioned just how stubborn she can get when she puts her mind to it.  She screamed for nearly 2 hours yesterday as I tried to break her of the pacifier habit.  She only gets it in bed and I thought I could break the habit...boy was I wrong! This is what I found a few days ago as we were driving home....the sun was "attacking her" she says....

 

Here is her refusal to sleep alone...good thing her GPa was there to help out.

 

I also posted a new post about my latest Young Living essential oil shipment here.

 

 

 

Fall is here!

Fall Time is here! I love the fall! We visited Church this morning and the pumpkins had arrived.  That means picture taking time.  Too bad my girls are on opposite smiling schedules.  They just can't seem to smile at the same time.  You couldn't imagine how many pictures we took before we could get just these 3!  We took a moment out after church and before the dedication of our new building to try some photos.  We may stop by later during the week for pictures better than what my old iPhone can do.

I love the smells of the fall too! I love diffusing Thieves at the house for it's cinnamon and nutmeg smell as well for it's germ-fighting uses! I love the holidays too (well maybe not Halloween as much since it stills can get creepy).  I've recently started using Young Living oils which is where the Thieves comes from.  If you are interested, I've started a blog (Click here) to keep an account of our experiences.

I think fall just seems to bring out great home memories and makes you want to decorate (and eat).  It doesn't hurt that the TV series all come back and no official STAAR testing goes on!

Marina Days

A few weeks ago we woke up and decided to take an adventure.We saw that Corpus Christi was have a Marina Days and decided to check it out.  The vendors were not over-the-top but they did have a replica of the Columbus ships available for tours.  After climbing aboard, Robbie was instantly sucked in to all the possible information.  The girls on the other hand.....not so much.  The youngest was however taken to searching the Gulf for "triangles" otherwise known as sailboats.  She had a ball of a time!

The eldest on the other hand was uninterested in anything but food.  Have I mentioned she is going through a growth spurt? Crazy!
