Latest Project

I'm trying out my candy-making skills, since it is Halloween. I was craving candy apples so I got some caramel and apples at the store. Of course, being pregnant, I wanted chocolate and peanut butter, so I melted some chocolate chips and leftover white chocolate, then chopped up some Reese's Pieces (sorry trick-or-treaters, I took some of your candy.) Anyways, it's not super pretty, but I'm sure excited to taste one!





Here's my sweet girl after eating some dirt. I guess she's just not satisfied with my cooking!

I was going to post some pics of a Halloween party we went to, but for some reason they have all disappeared. I have to do some detective work, but these pics will have to do for now.

What I've Been Up To

Mckenzie is now officially in a big girl bed and sharing a room with her best friend, Will. She has been sleeping really well, except for naps if Will is in the room with her...then they like to play! (Will has to now take a nap on my bed.)
We decided to transition her about 2 weeks ago. First it started with her waking up in the middle of the night because her paci had fallen out of the crib. That helped me decide that I was done with the paci, so it disappeared. And while crying that first night without her paci, Mckenzie climbed out of the crib. So we got a mattress for the bed a few days later. Thus, we had about a week or so of not much sleep...but now have a big girl who sleeps well through the night! Yeah for Mckenzie!


Here's our sweet girl with a cute dress I found at my favorite second-hand store. I love finding good deals...especially on clothes that will only be worn for a few months! (Thanks, Hannah, for the shoes...if you have a sister you can have them back!)


PS I found some fun crafty blogs from a friend's blog and put them in my links. I'm sure I'll never do a fraction of what they do, but it's fun to see and get ideas...enjoy!

Ultrasound

It's official! We're having another girl! (I believe the doctor because I saw it too.) The due date is still March 9.

Fun Times at Home

What does a stay-at-home mom do?

Teach her one-year-old to be potty-trained! Just joking. Mckenzie pulled this toilet-training book off the shelf and proceeded to study it for a while. Maybe she'll learn faster this way!


The kids like to help me do laundry. Mckenzie insisted on having a "hat" for a while.



Will's room is getting better... he now sleeps on a big boy bed and Mckenzie will be joining him soon. (I'm sure they'll probably get less sleep, but have more fun.)


Will and Mckenzie helping with the laundry again. (These are their clothes hampers from their rooms...for some reason they really like to do this.)
