For My Entertainment

Last week I was doing the dishes and Wyatt was playing with the letters on the fridge. After a while he said, "Mom, look it's a BIG slide!" It made me laugh. Over the summer, he has become obsessed with slides. Whenever we drive anywhere, he points out every slide he sees, and he doesn't miss many. (They are all called BIG slides) When we drive down a steep hill, he says we are going on the BIG slide! What a cutie! I love you Wyatt!

The other day we had a fire in the morning, and it got the house too hot for this pregnant woman, so I opened the back door to cool it off a little. I was playing on the computer, and I knew the kids had gone outside. Just as I was wondering if there was anything that they could get into W comes in. I asked him where M was, and he says, "Misty's eating the mud." I jump up and walk out there to find this.

Not too terrible of a mess, but I definitely couldn't get mad at this face.

Victory and CANDY!

I was kind of a bum this year for Halloween. At first, I was really excited to dress up, and plan some kind of theme for our little family to follow. Misty would be Tinker bell, Wyatt would be Peter Pan, Ross would be Captain Hook, and I would be a pregnant Wendy! Okay, maybe I would pass better for Mr Smee. I thought up what I would wear, then when it came down to it, those clothes just didn't fit me anymore. Then the excitement was lost, and I figured Ross would be happier not to dress up for a children's holiday, so I bagged the idea. Luckily, before that happened, I'd already asked my sister if I could borrow Peter Pan and Tinkerbell outfits her kids wore last year. Even though my kids napped through the trunk-or-treat and some of the houses we hit afterwards were apparently done handing out candy at 5:30, they did get some candy and grandparents got to see them in their cute little outfits.

I was glad they had good naps, because we headed up to the State Championship Volleyball game where Ross' youngest sister Laurel was playing. We won state, and it was very late by the time we changed them out of their costumes into pajamas to head home. It was such an exciting game! Everyone expected the other team to win. They have won it for the last few years, I think. But the girls went out and gave it their all, and it paid off winning the match in five games. They really deserved to win. The kept it together and played their little hearts out. Laurel played so well, especially for having two knee surgeries in the last two years (separate knees) Way to go Lady Hawks! The kids did pretty well at the game. There may have been a moment where I was surprised at the call and was screaming in shock which scared Misty. Ross took her up higher in the stands to calm her down, and let her play. Thanks love. Anyway, it turned out to be a fun and exciting night. I wish I could've gotten a picture of the whole team, but I'm slow.
