The Best Feeling

Picking Our Pumpkins

I took the boys to the Old Fannin Farmer's Market this morning to pick out some pumpkins for our front door.

They had to inspect all of them closely to make sure we got the perfect ones.

The nice lady that was helping us gave them both a tiny pumpkin to take home.  They were thrilled!

My little pumpkins are excited about the season.  Welcome, Fall!

Four Little Monkeys...Broke the Bed!

Late last night, around 11:30, Adam decided to go get the boys out of their beds to come snuggle with us.  Of course, as soon as he got them into our room they were wide awake and nowhere close to interested in going to sleep.  Since it was a weekend night, we decided to have some fun and eat popcorn and watch The Voice.

All four of us were lined up across the bed when a few minutes into our show I heard a crack and then the top of the mattress fell towards the floor!  What?!

We all hopped up and turned the light on.  Adam and I moved the mattress and box springs and found the culprit of our collapsed mattress.  The bed frame had split and the top support was no longer holding the mattress up.

The boys made themselves comfy on the floor while Adam went out driving around 1:00 a.m. to find something to put under the frame to hold the mattress and box springs up again.

He returned around 1:45 a.m. with some bricks that worked perfectly to fix the bed.  By the time we got everything put back together and settled back in bed it was almost 2:30 in the morning!  The boys had a blast and not long after we got in the bed they decided they didn't have as much room as they would like and went back to sleep in their own beds.  

It is never a dull moment around here, but Daddy's quick thinking fixed us up.  The night ended with a few laughs and some good sleep.

Mrs. Marilyn's Pearls

Jack, Morgan and I went to visit Mrs. Marilyn this morning while Sam was at school.  Jack thought he was something else while he got to play with Mrs. Marilyn's pearls.  Silly boy!

"Sit By Me, Mama!"

At lunch today Jack said, "Sit by me, Mama," as he rearranged our kitchen chairs.  You better believe I didn't turn that invitation down.  Sweet boy!!

Pound Puppies

Lili & Shuffie went to Baton Rouge this past weekend and brought Sam, Jack & Morgan pound puppies as a happy from their trip!  I can remember having these animals as a child and it is neat to see them gaining popularity with a new generation of kids.  Jack named his puppy Charlie and Sam named his puppy Carter.  Morgan got a cute little mini pound puppy in a pink carrier.  We decided to wait and let her name it when she gets a little older! :)

Thanks for the puppies, Lili & Shuffie.  We love them!

Pancakes and PJ's are the Best Medicine

Jack woke up late last night with a barky cough that came out of nowhere!  I immediately knew we were dealing with croup and was thankful I had some steroids in the medicine cabinet.  When I told him this morning that he wasn't going to school today, he insisted on staying in his PJ's to ride in the car to take Sam to school.  On our way back home from dropping Sam off, we stopped by McDonald's for some pancakes at Jack's request.  He enjoyed pancakes in his PJ's while we relaxed at home this morning and I think he is feeling better already!

Pretty, Pretty Priincess

 Morgan put on her pretty princess dress today to go to cousin Banks' 6th birthday party.

There isn't anything better than a bow and a smocked dress on a little girl.  I'm in heaven!

Smiling at Mimi

Morgan had a lot to tell Mimi.  She was talking up a storm!

Sam's Smart Cookie Award

I was in for a great surprise today when I picked Sam up from school.  He got the Smart Cookie Award for the Kindergarten this week!

He got this cool necklace and a pack of Oreo cookies as his treat. 

Way to go, Sam!  We are so proud of our smart cookie!

Nothing Can Stop a Thumb-Sucker

This morning I stumbled upon some serious thumb sucking when I went into Morgan's room to wake her up.  She sleeps in her swaddle blanket each night, but last night it looks like she turned into Houdini and wiggled her arms out so she could suck her thumb.  I guess she showed me who's in charge!

Jack is Potty Trained!

Last week Jack decided he was ready to start using the potty instead of wearing a diaper.  We had attempted to potty train him a few times this summer, but each time he would just tell us he wanted to keep wearing a diaper.  I decided it would be best to not push him too hard since we were all still adjusting to life with a new baby.  I was thrilled last week when it was finally his idea and I was very hopeful that this would be the last of our diaper wearing days.  Sure enough, he has done fantastic in his big boy underwear and is only wearing a diaper when he sleeps.  

We went to the store today and let him pick out a prize for doing such a great job.  He was so proud of his new toys and we are so proud of him!  Way to go, Jack!
