Remember these?

My mom pulled out a couple of Beanie Babies on Thanksgiving. She bought them "for your children" she told me. MG loved playing with them. A buffalo even made it home with us.

Catch-up

You always look forward to your child singing and performing in their little programs at school and church. For her Fall Sing at school I put MG in her cute pilgrim/native american dress, Kris got off of work, we had video camera and regular camera in hand. Good thing the video camera wasn't charged (again!) because our sweet little girl mostly stood there, looked around at the other children like they were crazy and did very little singing or participating. Not even the promise of a Krispy Kreme could get her to sing! Not donut for you MG!

Catch-up on our November.

Here she is at the far back corner watching her class.


Nov 17th we had fun with my gator cousin Blake at the Carolina game.




We were right there with'em.....for a while.


Daddy got MG a "bathrub" which she loves to wear.


One more chance to sing in November at our church Thanksgiving celebration. She wouldn't even stand. No bribe worked. No singing. No smiling.


Making dressing with Grandmama the night before Thanksgiving. It was YUMMY!


Our little pilgrim shows off her hat and collar she made at school. Smiling pretty on Thanksgiving Day.




Let's go Gamecocks!!


House divided?


A little outnumbered.


Cornhole that Kris made


Still friends even after GAMECOCKS WIN!!!!! 34-17!


That about sums up our November. We are so thankful. Especially for our family who loves us and help us so much and for our friends with whom we have so much fun! December...here we come!

Doughnuts for Dads

Last week was Doughnuts for Dads at MG's school. They got to bring their daddies in for a snack and gave them pictures they took of them holding a fishing pole in a frame that said "Dad #1 Catch" and an interview they did about their dads. It is very funny!

Before going to school.


With her friends Rivers...twins!


Interview

Not Again

When MG was a baby her daddy took her school becasue I had to go to work. Well, one morning at school I got a call that he had locked her in the car in the school parking lot and that AAA was coming as well as 2 police cars. Very eventful. Very embarrassing. Just to be sure it never happend again I sometimes reminded Kris (over & over) that he locked our baby in the car.

Last Friday I had to return books to the library and take Boo to the vet. I pull in the loop, put in the books in the depository, and try to get back in the car only to realize that Boo has pushed the lock button and the car is locked. Running. With my child inside. Boo! I had to call Kris and tell him that BOO locked our child in the car and could he please leave work, go home, get the key, drive to the library and help us. Which he did. Thanks Kris. MG is crying being locked in the car. I am thinking she is scared, confused, my poor child! No. When we finally got the door opened she said, "Don't throw away my books!" Honey, mommy didn't throw away your books. I returned them to the library. And it will be a long time before we come back!

Happy Halloween

Who said Halloween is a 1 day deal? No way. We celebrated many times this year! On Halloween we went to her school with friends for the trunk-or-treat. The next day was the Fall Festival at church. MG really enjoyed it, said "trick or treat" to get her candy and wasn't shy at all.


The day after Halloween our church had a Fall Fesival with rides, bounce houses, food, pony rides, and games. MG liked riding Tater-tot.


Happy Halloween! Having fun at the trunk-or-treat. Cute little Tinkerbell!

Halloween party at school

First time carving pumpkins with daddy.

Rarely

Rarely is this one sick. By the grace of God she was able to avoid getting sick for over a year. This weekend things changed. Mary Grace was a little warm on Friday, but I didn't think too much about it because I was just getting over a sickness myself. By Saturday her fever was high...104.7 high! We took her in to see the doctor and she said it was the H1N1 virus, but she didn't test her to see for sure if it was. It is very scary when your little one's temperature gets that high! Motrin and tepid baths seem to help. She is doing much better now, just a cough. Being sick is no fun!

**Update she did not have h1n1, but mycoplasma...virus.

Recently

It has been football & fair around here.

Delaney & Mary Grace at a very cold Clemson footbal game. MG's 1st. They stayed until half-time.



Swingin' at State Fair


Another kind of ride


Feeding the animals...fun as always


We love the fair!



The fair was much more fun this year than last. No crying and carrying on like 08! We had a great time and MG enjoyed her 1st funnel cake!
