Let's Keep All The Candy

I explained to Alexis about the upcoming Presidential Election. So, we googled both of the candidates pics on the Internet. Just by appearances, Alexis said she would vote for John McCain. I explained to her that she made a wise choice. I then explained to her the reason why; in terms a six year old could understand. I explained to her, that all of the candy she receives this year for Fall Harvest, Barack Obama will come (to our house) and demand that Craig and I give him 1/2 of what she has collected. I then explained that he will give this half to others that didn't get any candy for Fall Harvest even though she went out and worked really hard to collect it ALL. She was deeply saddened to hear that Obama would tell those he was giving the candy to, that it came from him and not from Alexis. Alexis said, "I want to call the cops right now to come get him and put him in jail." "No FAIR!" If Barack Obama wins the election, Alexis is worried that she will receive a knock at our front door in four days.

Fall Harvest In Bandera

We went to Bandera on Saturday to join in all the festivities my parents sub-division was throwing for their annual Fall Harvest Hayride. The kids had a great time dressing up in fun, not scary costumes. Alexis wore her costume from last year. She was hoping to be "Elizabeth Swann Pirate" this year, but her costume has not been delivered yet! Enjoy the pics.

Londyn Points

The new word "LOOK " is what she has been uttering all day long; as she points with her index finger. She's been saying it all day long, like it's nothing new.

Ohhhh....What A Purpose

Grab a tissue....you will need it as you watch this sweet, sweet video of a new born baby and the 16 minutes he got to spend with his mom and dad before he went home to his Father in Heaven.

Looooove Thursdays

I loooooove Thursdays. I look forward to this day each week. It seems like we go & go & go all week long. I feel like I'm just the chauffeur now, taking my girls to all of their activities. Which by the way, awakens me each morning at 7 a.m. Thursday is the day that we can kinda just hang loose. Today we started our Thursday off with Alexis waking up one hour early stating that she would like to go to I-Hop for breakfast, so we did. Then we were off to school by 9 a.m. Londyn and I were then on our way to meet Stephanie and her 1.5 year old Violet at PartyStation. This is where we go every Thursday morning. Lauren joins us when she can; she has a 1.5 year old too. Steph and I have meet some amazing moms there. All off us have children around the same age and the girls are so down to earth. I think we have even become "good" friends with the owner of the play station since we find ourselves leaving there three and a half hours later; it goes by so very quickly. I love not having to worry about getting home early after soccer practice on Thursday evening because Alexis doesn't have school on Fridays. So, she plays with her team mates and I visit longer with all of their sweet moms.

Remember To Dance

Craig & I danced yesterday for the 1st time, in a long while. I fell in love with this song the very first time my ears heard it. Then, we danced.....
