Mommy's Shoes

I had no idea that a little girls obsession with shoes would start so young. She had to have been less than 18 months when it started. And recently she discovered how fun it is to wear mommy's

shoes.

Practicing Piano

Shawn is the primary pianist and he practices right before church and Celeste loves to help him. However, they don't always sound so good together. And yes, this is the same day in a new outfit. I've been weeding out the 18 month clothes which are all getting too small.

Halloween 2009

Here are the kids dressed up and ready to go trick or treating.
Only problem is Treyton is not happy with his costume.

Even though you can't see his face, he is much happier to be spiderman again another year.

We took them trick or treating to the outlet mall, church's trunk or treat and around the neighborhood and so YES they got lots and lots of candy.

Building at Lowe's

We like to take the kids to Home Depot and just recently discovered that Lowe's also has a kids workshop. They are making a ball toss game. They provide kid size hammers to make it easier for little ones to hammer themselves.

Wade

Here they are with their aprons on and the finished product. Poor Celeste too little to do herself so hers is still in the package to do at a later date.

Little Cheeser

Celeste started saying cheese when she smiles for the camera. Here is the result, not the prettiest smile but still darn cute.

Sept 2009

Not much happened in September this year and I took very few pictures. These pictures of Celeste are of her fire ant bites which actually happened at the end of August. You can see them on her forehead and right under her eye. She also had one on her lip.

You can see a bunch between her thumb and finger and one by her knuckle. Plus one more bite on her foot. This is what we think happened to her. We stopped at a gas station to let the kids go potty on our way home from Mississippi. Celeste had been eating goldfish and we think when we got her out of her car seat one goldfish must have fallen out onto the ground next to the van. There was an area next to the van that had wood chips and maybe remnants of flowers. We all went inside the gas station for maybe 15-20 minutes. I came out with all the kids while Shawn was still inside. I left Celeste in the wood chips while I opened the back to get out some cookies. All of a sudden I hear screaming from Celeste and run over to her to see ants on her face and chewed up goldfish in her mouth. We are assuming that she found the fallen goldfish (along with some fire ants) and put it in her mouth. Poor baby she has been bitten by fire ants numerous times this summer and she is one tough cookie. I got my first fire ant bite and it hurt.
On Labor Day we were invited by the Hunters to go swimming at a lake. We had no plans for Labor Day and so we jumped at the chance to go. We almost didn't get to go because we didn't know you have to pay and luckily between the Hunters spare change and ours we barely had enough. The kids had a blast!! The boys could touch until about half way out and they are pretty comfortable in the water when they can touch. Celeste loves the water and had so much fun! We'll definitely have to go back again (hopefully we can find it again).
