Ride 'Em Cowboy...errr Cowgirls??

We were so happy to come home to Skip and a warm house on Monday, but we didn't have time to just sit and relax in it....we had some trick-r-treating to do!!  Both my girls dressed up like Jessie from Toy Story {I'm a lazy mom, what can I say}  And Skip donned a cowboy outfit to match them!

First we drove around and did some visiting with family and friends.  Then we hit the town!  A lot of towns banned trick-or-treating because of all the downed power lines and trees, but we were lucky enough not to be one of them!  I pushed Baby C around in her stroller for the first few houses and then brought her in the warmth while Skip and Little M finished getting as much candy as possible! {a post on how Halloween is a food-allergy parent's nightmare will be coming next week!}
Kinda looks like the end of the world huh?

We really had to navigate around all the branches down!

Pleased with her latest aquisition of candy!

Giving the stink eye since I won't let her have any candy



By the end of the day, Little M was on a *huge* sugar high and we were all drained from the past few days.  Bedtime definitely came earlier than usual that day!
Best picture I got of the two of them...sugar meltdown much?

I'm Coming Out too...Will You?

I read this article, blog, whatever you want to call it the other day and when I was finished I practically stood up and shouted, "Finally!"  To summarize, JJ Watt gives her opinion on being pro-vaccine for her children.  She backs it up with facts on how immunizations are really only effective with herd immunity, and that the theory that shots, specifically the MMR, cause autism has been disproven time and time again.  JJ Watt uses this article to "come out" as pro-vaccine, and encourages the rest of us to do the same.  The anti-vaccinators are the ones you hear all the time.  Now it's our turn to take a stand.  So that is what I am doing today.  I vaccinate my kids, and I'm proud of it . I try to stay out of the mommy wars as much as possible.  It doesn't affect my life if you co-sleep, formula feed, or clothe diaper.  Your choices on how you raise your child, doesn't affect my child in any way.  Except when it comes to vaccines....

I Will Fight You Pregnancy Hormones

Let's play a little game called "What's wrong with this picture?" No it's not that my bedroom is ridiculously messy. {though that is true..not all the time though, I swear!} If it's that I still sleep with a stuffed bunny, you'd be wrong too. {though that is also true...he makes a great pillow!} Yes I know I look much further along than 17 weeks pregnant, but that's not it either. Give up?  Check out my hair.  It's brown.  As in opposite of blond, brown.  Now I know most of you will be utterly shocked when I tell you this, but I am not a natural blond.  I was as a kid, but once puberty hit my strands began to darker.  But I revolted.  I have a slight obsession with love being blond.  And I have been {with help obviously} for the last 10 years or so, with the exception of my pregnancy with Little M. I didn't color my hair at all with my first pregnancy.  I had a slight concern about the chemicals, and thought it would be good to give my hair ...

It's time to say goodbye...

I've known this day was coming for a while but I've been avoiding it. Seven years ago, I started this blog. I really didn't know what I was doing, haha. But a few friends from high school started ones, and it interested me. I started this when Emmy was only 4 months old and I felt completely lost as a new mom. I found others who felt the same. Blogging became a way to document my daughter's life and ask questions, find out tips, etc. Through that time I have shared our life. Emmy growing up, adding Charlie to our family, and watching them get older. I've documented vacations, day to day life, and even found a way to make a little bit of money. I've met some amazing friends on here, that I wouldn't have otherwise. It truly has been a wonderful experience But the girls are getting older and their story is not really mine to tell to the public. Also, as my writing career is starting to take off, I want to make sure my private life stays private. Because of that...
