Trick or Treat

Halloween 2010 was a fun one with Faith! She discovered suckers. If you notice, every picture I took envolves sucker. Mom and Pop came up for homecoming this weekend. This was Pop's second year in a row to come up on Halloween. We took Faith to the square on Friday afternoon. By the time we left I think she had taken out 3 suckers and accomplished getting stickiness on all three of us. So note to self, if you want to win my daughter over just bring her a sucker.

Sweet as can be!
Our friends Tom and Stella. Loved the costume!

Priceless!

shopping

Faith loves to put anything and everything into her baby stroller and wheel it around the house. I thought it was time to get her a shoppping cart this week. She was giving me a "thumbs up"!

On the GO!

Time to feed the ducks!

Making sure the geese aren't coming to steal her cracker

Faith has started wanting to put makeup on. Its hard to see her makeup brush. Wish I had her natural glow...

who needs a playset when you have a gas meter??

Faith amazes me everyday. She is really starting to be able to help me out. She has really taken interest in taking care of Copper. Everytime Copper needs more water she brings the bowl to me. She also takes it upon herself to go in the laundry room and fill Copper's food bowl up. I think she is going to be a big help with Peyton. Or at least thats my hope!

She has started putting two words together. Mostly bye bye daddy or hi daddy...... We went down to LR this weekend and she started saying for grandparents names too! Cant believe my little girl is 19 months!

room in progress...

I have been working on Faith and Peyton's rooms for weeks now. It is a very slow process seeing that I have to do things when Faith is asleep. I had these buffet lamps since college. In college I used them in my bedroom. I had a black comforter so I glued a black boa (sp) to them. The feathers were cute then, no so much anymore...... I needed some lamps for Faith's room so this is what I cam up with.....

AFTER:

I spray painted the lamp bases and the shades. The colors are a little off in the photo. The shades are a butter yellow now and the bases are heirloom white. I added some beaded trim to complete the look.
