Rainy Day + Empty Case of Diapers + Two Rambunctious Kids =

Happy Halloween!

Nicolaus and Carleigh dressed as Hansel and Gretel for Halloween this year. Nicolaus wore the Liederhosen which were John's when he was little and Carleigh's nanny sewed her beautiful dress. They are so cute I just want to eat them up! Does that make me the wicked witch of the tale?



Things I'd Love to Blog About

...if I could only find the time!

1.  Grace Based Parenting. A book by Dr. Tim Kimmel and a class I am taking at WCOG. The class leader Jennifer Miller has a great Blog. Check it out!

2.  My tug-of-war with a certain 15 lbs

3.  All the knit and crochet projects I have planned

4.  Our visit to the pumpkin patch

5.  My Tuesday morning Bible Study. Oh what would I do without Women in the Word and their Little Hearts program which watches the kids during those three awesome hours?

6.  Toddler tantrums

7.  Making applesauce

8.  How I feel about the passing of my latest birthday

9.  My personal style...or lack thereof

10.  All the amazing things my kids are learning (and teaching me)

Steppin Out Saturday - An Oldie But Goodie



Shirt: JCrew

Jeans: Ann Taylor Loft (even though you can't see them)

Earrings: Ann Taylor (I think)

Bracelet: Pandora

My mom took the kids and I out for lunch in celebration of my 32nd birthday. In my Fall clothes storage box I happened upon this JCrew wool shell from ages ago. I forgot how much I loved it! And aside from my engagement ring and wedding band, my Pandora bracelet is my favorite piece of jewelry. Each charm means so much, stands for a part of my life.

The County Fair!

Summer's end brings county fairs all across our country. Every year we go to the Shenandoah County Fair in Woodstock, Virginia. I think this year the kids (at least Nicolaus) could actually enjoy and possibly remember it. Even though it was WAY past their bedtimes, we chose to go at night so they could experience the bright lights along with the other sights and sounds. They were amazed and really couldn't decide what to look at. We listened and danced to bluegrass, fed the animals in the petting zoo, rode the carousel, and Nicolaus and I shared a ride on the ferris wheel where he could "see everything from up here!" We made it home unscathed, except for Carleigh who actually was bitten by one of the goats that "doesn't bite."
