Days at the park:
Too much spinning on the tire swing = green faced Mariah.
Lots of riding bikes.
Drinking my watermelon arugula smoothie. She finished off about half of this one and kept saying, "It's delicious!"
Waiting for Mariah's bus:
Fun at the lake:
Baby boot photo shoot. Sally (and Elaine) walks around in these little tiny doll boots. It's hilarious.
I told Sal to touch her shoulder to the wall, so I could get a profile. She thought I meant to touch her shoulder.
Several days later, Sal wanted to get a picture in her panties (which only lasted a couple days before she asked to be back in a diaper). She stood against the wall and touched her shoulder, with no prompting this time.
Fun with baking soda and colored vinegar:
Reading on a cold day:
October General Conference. Picnic on Mom's bed:
Updating the 72-hour kits and enjoying a few minutes of pacifying (with pacifiers from the kits 6 months ago, now obsolete).
A ladybug caught a ride:
I did a 10-day green smoothie fast. Awesome.
I broke my smoothie fast hosting a Favorite Things Party. I forgot to get pictures of the fun people and food. Mariah helped me decorate and set everything up.
Halloween decorations and 'staches from Grandma Shaunna:
Reading the Curious George book she sent. (It was crazy hair day at Mariah's school.)
Ready for the ward Trunk-or-Treat:
Halloween Day. New costumes, sick Sally, and an out-of-control messy house. I was apparently so frazzled this day that I actually let my children out of the house looking like this. We only went trick-or-treating to 2 neighbors, but still . . . what happened to modest? The girls had gotten themselves dressed, and I don't even think I really looked at what they were wearing. "Ok, whatever, let's snap some pictures and go." I didn't realize until I looked at the pictures later . . . Oh well.
At least we had a Halloweeny dinner.
And some fun treats for our little party: popcorn, donuts, homemade rolos & twix, and snickerdoodles.
Some of Elaine's October schoolwork:
Sally needed to make one too:
And some bike videos:
