Jillian the Gypsy

Jillian has started to go to church with my grandma on Sunday mornings and she has become a part of the youth group. She informs me one Tuesday evening that they are going to make and deliver scarecrows to area nursing homes and that she was supposed to dress up. The next day.

I wanted Jillian to be able to dress up, but the fact that it was the last Wednesday in September, I wasn't even close to having her costume ready. She wants to be a pirate for Halloween. But for this we made an exception. Pulled some things together from the house, called Jennifer to see what she had available and TAA-DAA...she was transformed into a gypsy. Not to bad for finding out 24 hours prior. So again I awarded myself with a mommy-merit badge for being "spur of the moment creative". She was able to make 20 scarecrows that night to be delivered the next week to the elderly. I am glad she is growing and experiencing and learning all at the same time! HAPPY SUNDAY!!

LOOK! LISTEN!

He looks so big sitting on this little truck. The little truck that plays the most annoying music in the house. I am a weird mom! I refuse to remove any batteries from any toy that we buy him or that he receives as a gift. They are musical and educational and he loves to dance to the songs. So I will not take that from him....but its still annoying nonetheless.... Anyway...I am so proud of how fast he learns to do everything and that he is as independent as his little self can be. He loves to listen to the 2 songs on this little truck. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Do You Know the Muffin Man are constantly playing. He is a big boy now. He isn't my little baby bundled up anymore......

He's making a list....

The BIG TOY BOOKS arrived in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Let's just say he knows how to catalog shop! He knew what pages to go to that had toys for him. Anything Spiderman is topping his list right now. He will sit and watch the Spiderman movie and not move. Not the cartoon either...the movie with Toby Maguire. He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.

Happy Birthday!

My little sister is 35 years young today!  Happy Happy Birthday to the best little sister I could ask for! Love you!
