Daddy’s Girl

Just a quick post. Yesterday Faith came in our room when I was getting ready and said “Mom, I wanna wear this shirt on Date night with Daddy”

Me: Well where are you going to go on your date?

Faith: to get doughnuts

I asked Lee if he had said something about taking her on date night or that he wanted her to wear that shirt and he said “no”. She came up with that all on her own. So cute! Love that girl!Pics From 10_24_11 478

First Fishing Trip

Faith and Lee went on their first fishing trip last weekend. They packed up the car and went to Conway to Papa and Kat Kat’s house. Lee and his dad used to fish at lake Conway when he was younger so he wanted to take Faith to the same spot. Faith spent most of her time playing and exploring the site than fishing. That’s my GIRL! But Lee did hook a fish with her pole and she helped bring it in. Lee said she had no intensions of getting close to it. I think she was more scared than the fish! Papa Dan was helping her with the catch of the day! They finished off a hard day fishing with a trip to the Fish House for Catfish and ice cream! Oh and the famous HOT FUDGE!!!

BOO!

While cruising Pinterest the other week I ran across a great Halloween idea. It is called “BOO-ING”! It is basically the same thing that people do at Christmas with “Elfing”.

BOO-ING involves making a goodie bag of treats and leaving at a neighbors doorstep ANONYMOUSLY along with a sign in their yard saying they have been BOO-ED! There are instructions for the person that has been booed to “Boo” two other people within two days., which involves making goodie bags and  new signs to put in the neighbors yard. I was hoping that the “BOO” fever would spread but I haven’t seen any new signs yet. The thought is that it is better to give than recieve! Here’s the blog that I stole the idea from. She has free printable signs and instructions. annaandblue.blogspot.com  Check it out! I think we are going to start a new halloween tradition. 

The sign that we put in people’s yards. We BOOED 5 neighbors.

Below are the goodie bags! I stapled the instructions to the back of the sack, telling the BOO-e why they had a sign in the yard and to pass the fun along!!! (The instructions where from the blog site as well)

 Faith had a great time putting the bags together and delivering them with me. She did have a hard time understanding why we didn’t knock on the door and just give it to the neighbors. I gave in once and we knocked on the door. BTW, sorry if you were BOO-ed and you are reading this. Opps!

Once upon a time

Mom and Dad came up for the Auburn game a couple of weeks ago and stayed here. It was a short stay but a good one as always. Dad spent time reading books to Peyton and Faith while mom and I worked on trying to applique shirts for the kids. After about 8+ hours of trying to figure out the machine we were successful in making two shirts. Picture 189 Picture 188

“pumpkins pumpkins we love pumpkins”

Friday we had our third annual visit to the McGarrah pumpkin farm. This year with another kiddo in tow! I”m glad that we went when we did because the pumpkin selection was slim due to the HOT summer! Picture 128Picture 068

Cumcumbers and Pansies

Tonight Faith discovered that she liked Cucumbers! I looked over and she was munching on one like it was an apple. Kids are so unpredictable!

Faith loved helping Nana Judy plant pansies in the flower bed.

She keeps wanting to go check on them tonight. It’s so cute!

God has blessed so more than I can even put into words with my kids. I can’t imagine not having them in my life. They make life good!

First Camping Trip

Last Friday night Lee and Faith had their first camping trip together. They found the best camping spot in town! OUR BACKYARD! I think they had more fun setting it up and getting all their gear ready than the actual camping. Unfortunately it wasn’t the best night to camp. There was a rumble in the air! It was Bikes Blues and BBQ. There were 1000’s of bikers in town so the night was filled with tailpipe rumbles. Faith fell asleep quickly but Lee wasn’t able to. ( he was probably wishing he was cruising the streets) So he carried Faith in just before midnight and they finished out their camping experience in our bed. Oh well it was a fun night while it lasted!
