27 Oct ~ Cruella and the [Three] Dalmations

Today was a fun-filled day of events at our house. It started off at school for Sailer and me/Linc at bible study. Instead of our normal pic by the stairs before heading off, we had to grab one in front of the garage since dumb mommy left her precious camera in the car all night.
That afternoon I picked Sailer up, grabbed a special cookie from The Cakery, and headed up to Sweet & Sassy to get her beautified for her big date with Grady. She LOVED it.... that stinking little diva.



And the final touches... can you tell what she's going to be with the half black/half white crazy hairdo??
Introducing the cutest Cruella de Ville on the planet!!

And the stinkin' cutest little dalmation puppy ever!!
Now the entire "pound".... we met Grady and Graham at Boo at the Zoo (like we do every year) and this year we actually got our act together and coordinated. Cruella and her [three] dalmations! Seriously, I think this turned out as my fave Halloween costume combo ever. They were the cutest things... people just kept stopping us, taking their pictures, pointing them out, etc.


Entering the zoo via the spooky bridge:
Look how tiny she looks!
Mommy and Princess Cruella
Picking up candy.



Mommy of the year was too busy snapping shots to notice Cruella has stood up in the wagon and was falling backwards, where her little head "caught" her.
Luckily her daddy was there for comfort.

And mommy snuggling with her little puppy.
TRYING for a group photo (I'm praying the Jenkins have a better one.)
Right as she's pushing him out of "HER" picture"...Talk to the hand....lol!
Running around crazy.

And now for the games.

So excited when she got a hole-in-one on the first try.
Our signature shot.
The mommy and daddy.
Just thought it was fun to show how much they've grown (and our families)...

26 Oct ~ Little Bo Peep FOUND her sheep...

Today was Sailer's Halloween party at dance.... as you can see, today she was Little Bo Peep and later you'll see her beyond cute little sheep.

my favorite part of this little get up (aside from the totally Southern bonnet) is the matching sheep candy bag/purse!! LOL. Today she carried her tap and ballet shoes in it to class.


And her adorable little sheep patiently waiting for her...

After dance, we hightailed it in the pouring rain to playgroup...

And I finally got a few pics of Linc and I in music class... we do music while Sailer takes dance each Monday. He loves the music part... not so much the talking part. LOL.

25 Oct ~ Party Planner in the making

We are in full swing party mode at our house and even little Miss. S is in on the decorating! She keeps following me around and tell me she NEEDS to help me with the party! LOL.

24 Oct ~ A Princess and her Frog Prince

This morning Sailer woke up to this little funny face.... thanks to her sweet friend Hope's daddy we have now discovered the brilliance of these sprinkle covered doughnut holes!
This afternoon the family headed over to Sailer's friend, Jake's house for an awesome Halloween party/ carnival. Today my little babes were a princess (specifically Cinderella) and her frog prince.

"Oh devastation..."
Meeting the clown to get her balloon animal.
One happy little girl.

Mommy and her Cinderella.


The amount of tulle cracks me up...and the impressive ability to still jump in the jumphouse.



Mommy and Jaclyn. She knows how to throw an awesome party!
Dancing with the skeleton!
And shaking the spider's hand(s).
The little man trying to watch the clown's act as well.The whole gang:

And then, of course, daddy as a pilot with his retro flight attendant little lady.
Trying to "serve"...

23 Oct ~ Top Gun


Today I braved taking both kids to the arboretum to have their photos taken in the pumpkins... poor Brandi has been trying to take them for about a month, but the dang weather would simply NOT cooperate. Anyway, I can't wait to get them back and of course, will post when I do.... but in the mean time. Here was my little wingman after the shoot.

22 Oct ~ Cookies by Sailer

Our daily pose before school... I just love this little outfit because of the vintage looking Halloween print fabric. NOT your typical H-ween get-up, which I love. (=
When Sailer got home from school, I had her table set up for some fun Halloween cookie decorating with mommy. She LOVES to get her hands dirty with fun projects like this.
She gets super serious about her designs. LOL.
But mostly, we just nibble on the sweets.

I love that she couldn't see through them to decorate, but didn't remove them... she just put them on the tip of her nose and looked over them.
This is what I'm talking about- going straight to the source.
These precious little hands.
