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.

21 Oct ~ Under the Sea

Today the babes and I headed up to Mimi's work to do a reverse trick-or-treat... instead of hunting candy, Miss. Sailer gave out candy to all of Mimi's friends. She did it last year, and she seems to think it's pretty funny (probably because she gets to eat half the bucket in the process.) Anyway, this was actually Sailer's choice in costumes. We are ALL ABOUT Ariel in our house right now, so Sailer wanted to be a mermaid.



And what you may ask was the little man? Well, Ariel's trusty sidekick the crustacean, Sebastian. (Like he cares...) (=

Heading down the hallways passing out candy.
And afterward she is supremely incognito making her exit.
Clearly, it took a lot out of her.
And finally, Mr. Linc was introduced to a few of my fave Dr. Seuss books today... so to commemorate... (aren't his two little feet precious??)

And last but definitely not least, was a quick pic of Mommy out with the girls. We all braved the monsoon in the name of wine and free pizza! It was an absolute blast, so much so that the party continued on at our house afterwards. LOL. (=

20 Oct ~ My Little Hippie Chick...

heading off to school. What I love about this picture is right before I tried to get her to do a peace sign, and so I tried to show her how to do. She proceeded to tell me, "Mommy, I know I 2!!"

Rockin' out with Uncle Randall


Lest I forget Sailer rockin' out with the boys.... "Uncle Randall" as Sailer likes to call him came over after a golf tournament... she ADORES him! I guess it would be hard not to when a sweet man carries you around, sits at the "little table" for dinner with you, sings to you, etc. Randall is in a real live band and has taught Sailer to sing "I've got the bluuuuuues." It's way beyond cute. Anwho, this is the band together.
