A Visit With Santa

Ellie's Visit With Santa.....

What can I say besides the fact that Belle just isn't into the big guy?! When it came time to sit on his lap, not even her big sisters could convince her otherwise.

Making Muffins

It's raining, it's pouring, and I have a hundred and one things to get done in the kitchen alone today. The Babes n I stayed in to tackle my to do list and enjoy a little cooking. Cari cracked the egg. Ellie poured the milk. Cari licked the spoon, however, Ellie was a little suspicious of the batter. They both watched the muffins cook. Fifteen minutes feels like a life time to a toddler when baked treats are involved. In the end there is only one thing more fun than making muffins.... Eating them! Well, at least eating them was fun for Cari. Ellie would not try the finished muffins.

A Look Back On October

October was a busy month. 80 degree weather helped keep us moving. We spent time at the beach as a family. Abbey completed her first book report. I hiked with the babes, and we picked apples. The girls dressed up as their favorite characters and enjoyed many Halloween activities. Mark and I got a chance to see one of our favorite musicians, and I got to tour the Dousm@n Co@ch House, a historical landmark, with a great friend.

What A Wonderful Day

Cari and Ellie attend a preschool that is also a summer camp. The teachers are wonder and nurturing, and the scenery surrounding the school is amazing. Today the girls and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and hiked the grounds. We were lucky enough to catch a lot of wildlife in action. The horses at the stables came to visit us, and we caught a glimpse of a deer, and some wild turkeys. We even saw the flight of a monarch butterfly. However, the chipmunks were much too quick for my lil girls. We ended up hiking for over an hour without any melt downs. I do know two little girls who took a good nap this afternoon. Dare I admit this, but I might have fallen asleep too.
