Sunrise

Yesterday morning, the girls went outside to wait for the bus to come. All of a sudden, they come running in and telling me I have to come outside and look. I went out there and saw a beautiful sunrise. The kids were talking about how God sure makes a pretty picture. Then Abby says, "Mama, it's like I can feel God making that!"

Paige is getting so big!

I can't believe it! Paige lost her first tooth. Is she really big enough for that? She has been waiting for a long time for this. She is so excited! So when I went to bed, this is what she looked like:

And I was woken up the next morning with this:

She lost TWO back to back! So she had a Tooth Fairy visit 2 nights in a row. But the second night, something happened that I figured would happen. Abby had a tooth waiting for the fairy, too! That fairy sure was busy!

The addiction of gross things

Power washing... enough said.

Halloween Prep

I began pulling out some fall and Halloween decorations. One of the things I bought years ago but never used were bags in the shape of a ghost and jack 'o lantern. You're supposed to fill them with leaves and viola': instant decor. But when I bought them we lived in Texas and didn't have leaves on the ground from a change of season.

But here we do!

Last Weekend

Last weekend was fun!

Hannah pitched for the first time...

She did a great job. She had an unassisted double play, another double play, multiple outs at 1st, on base every time, lots of RBIs. She is just rockin' that field!!! I'm so proud of her. Not just because of how well she is doing (although that is good for the ego), but because she is plain having fun! She got MVP and received the game ball.

Abby also had her Cheer Off. Apparently, this is what cheer leaders work for all season.

Out of 5 or 6 squads of their size, they placed 2nd!!! When they called their name and they all came running up to the trophy, Abby was hanging out on the outside of the huddle just looking around. I knew then she had no idea what was going on. So when we met up with her a while later, I asked her if she knew what just happened. She said no. I told her they were in a competition and they got 2nd place and she just said "oh, ok". That's my AJ!
