Lots of pics

My Christmas girls. I love dressing them in their Christmas clothes. 

Our kids are mostly toys to us

This is such a good representation of Jane's inner self. Serene and a little weird.

This is an awesome story. Amelia woke up and said, "I need to earn some money to buy things". So she decided to make a lemonade stand. (Yes, it's november) Joe was SO supportive. He made her that little stand, helped her with the koolaid, got her all situated, then sat back and watched with me. Amelia is NOT afraid of people. To any and all passerby-s , she's holler "I have lemonade per you! It's 9 dollars!!!" We let her set her own price :) Our obliging neighbors came and bought some at a reasonable rate and Amelia ended her 45 minute work day with $5.50. She even learned about tithing, but in all honesty, I was more excited for her to learn about capitalism. 

Mud mud everywhere. 

Some nice stuff

The girls were "getting me stylish" for zumba. It's a good thing too, because Grandma Connie was there and I was glad to have had their help to keep up appearances :)

Happy Hauntings

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

And not to ruin it for next year... but all costumes were 50% off so we got stocked up. Jane is plum pudding from strawberry shortcake and Amelia is a devil, but if  you ask her she'll refer to herself as the 'girl vampire'. She'll be wearing a shirt underneath this little number so it doesn't look like lingerie :)
