Someone please take our scissors away!!

So it was about this time last year that Avery Lynne gave herself a beautiful (WT) mullett. It was bad. Well, guess who cut their hair today? Little miss Adison Anne. She was cutting with her KID scissors when I hear,"Guess what mommy, I just cut my hair". I just said, "No you didn't Adison". I mean we go over the rules everytime we use scissors. We only cut paper that mommy gives you and we NEVER cut our clothes or HAIR. You would think a 2 1/2 year old would grasp that concept. Apparently not. She walked over with a chunk of hair and I was devistated. I didn't want to look. It really is not that bad. It luckly blends in. It doesn't really show up in pictures. Hence, the reason there are no pictures of it. Next fall the scissors will be locked up.

Help, PLEASE!!!

I need some advice. Avery was such and easy kid. No blankie, No bink-bonk (pacifier), slept great, weaned her from the bottle very easily, and potty trained very easily. All around an easy kid. Fast forward to Adison. She is very easy also, but had a bink-bonk until a month ago, still has a blankie, and is having a hard time potty training. I am a firm believer that they will do it when they are ready. It is just too frustrating when you make them. Well, Adi is ready. She gets so excited to wear big girl underwear. Here is the problem, she will not go on a little potty, so I got her a toilet seat that goes over the regular toilet. She will finally sit on it, but refuses to go. I think the problem is that a few monthes ago she fell in and scratched her back. Well, she insists on wearing "Big Girl" underwear everyday. She just "HOLDS" it all day long. She has been in underwear since 8:30 a.m. and is still dry. Has not had an accident or gone on the toilet, and it is almost 4:00 p.m. I know she has to go, so I will be putting a diaper on her soon. Any suggestions on how to get her to GO????!!!!

Thanks A lot mom!!!

I usually only drink water. It is very rare that I drink pop. Well, when my mom was here, there were two things that we always had to have stocked in the house. Popcorn and Diet Coke. Thanks a lot mom, guess what still is stocked in the house now that you are no longer here? POPCORN AND DIET COKE!!! I won't lie, popcorn has always been a staple, but never Diet Coke. I have a glass a day. NOT GOOD!!!!

Trunk-or-Treat

Friday night we went to our Ward chili dinner and Trunk-or-Treat. It was a lot of fun. I didn't get any good pictures though. Adi was in a very bad mood. She fell asleep on the floor at home right before we left. I was so upset she did, because I had just curled her hair and it was so cute. I had to wake her to put her in her costume, and she was very angry with me, and it carried over to the party. Avery had a lot of fun. The girls stocked up on candy there also. It was fun getting to know members of our ward, since we are so new.

Where did our BLACK KITTY go?

Since August, Avery has had her mind set on being a fairy for Halloween and Adison was going to be a BLACK KITTY!!! Avery was so excited when her cousins Madi and Maleea decided to be fairies too. We have been working on and adding to their costumes for a few weeks. Janille would grab things as she saw them and I would do the same. We originally were going to be in Spanish Fork for Halloween, so I didn't think that Adi would care being different from the rest of the girls. Well, she did. She was a black cat last week for a party, but since we decided to stay in St. George for Halloween, we switched her to a fairy also. Ofcourse we had to get pictures, and thanks to Janille for taking them. Aren't they the cutest fairies ever???? (I do miss seeing little Adi as a black cat though. She is just getting too big.)

RIDICULOUS!!!

Ridiculous is the only word to describe the amount of candy the girls got this year trick-or-treating. They had lots of fun though.

The GREAT Pumpkins!!!

We had such a fun night last night. The girls have been a little under the weather and cooped up in the house. They were getting a little restless. (And Ty and I were going crazy also.) So what better way to get their energy out, without taking them out to get others sick? Plan a fun night IN THE HOUSE. First we had pizza, should have taken a picture. Then we carved our pumpkins, and Avery had been coming up with ideas for hers all day long. They were so cute while carving them. Avery really got into it. Adison had fun, but if you look close in one of the pictures, she is wiping her mouth off on her shirt, because she was spitting after gagging, AFTER touching the inside of the pumpkin. So funny. They did such a great job on them. Tyler is such a PRO at carving. After we were done carving, we roasted our pumpkin seeds, Averys idea. They turned out OK. Then we settled with our pillows and blankets and watched, It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. While watching that we had HALLOWEEN Cinnamon rolls. We had such a fun night, being with each other. And did I mention it was cold outside. Call me crazy, but I LOVED IT!!!
