Every Southern Lady Needs a Sensible Floppy Hat

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Yesterday, Miller's class picked pumpkins at the pumpkin patch.  When we got home I told him I wanted to take his picture with his pumpkin.  When I was ready with my camera this is how I found him posed.  Either I take too many pictures or he's ready for his first professional photo spread.   :)   

A Tiara and Some Attitude

When Lorelai was just one month old I brought her to work with me.  My friend, Stacie, told me that Lorelai was going to be very sassy when she grew up.  I asked her how in the world she could tell that just by looking at her.  Well, as we all know, sassy is certainly one of the most commonly used words to describe this little lady.  Good call, Stacie!!

 Showing a little sass.

Yikes!!!

The stare we know all too well.

Still sweet enough to share with Minnie.

This Is the Life

One Little Monkey Jumping on the Bed

 All jumped out.

The Lollipop Guild

During the summer I tried to do as many activities as possible with the kids indoors because the heat was just blazing outside.  One of our favorite pastimes was baking.  Since I'm not a great baker from scratch, I must admit that most of our projects come from a box.  Our lollipop cookies were no exception.

Testing to make sure the icing wasn't poisoned.

Showing off his handiwork.  (Well, his and mine.)

Time for a taste test.

Daddy got home just in time to help with the fun part.  Coincidence or careful planning on his part...hmmm???

Love, love, love her expression in this one!

Which one next?  So many to choose from.  (If you look carefully you can see his tongue sticking out.  How cute!!)

Gotcha!!

In the immortal words of Fancy Nancy, "Sprinkles, please."

 Mmmmmm!

Repeat Performance

The last time my friend Elise and I got Miller and Maria together these little rascals shared an open-mouthed kiss that would put some soap operas to shame.  I put it on the blog but I'm not savvy enough to link you back to it like some of my fellow bloggers.  If you want to check it out, it was posted on the old blog in April 2011 and was titled "Pizza Play Date."

Miller attempting to avoid having his picture made.  (You can't hide forever, Mimmer!)  

Deciding that if he's gonna give in to having his picture made, he might as well make the most of the opportunity to cozy up to "Ria."  (Her expression is priceless.)

Taking the opportunity to the next level.

Adorable!!

Rockin' Out

Giggles & Grins

My desperate attempt at a new blog header once my current one is out of season.  Looks like it's back to the drawing board for me ~ although this one was waaaay too cute not to post!
