Saturday Night Play Date!

Taylor's heart was broken because I took away her blanket that she had completely covered in yogurt. As she was in the middle of a major meltdown I looked at her and said "If you want to go see Brayden say Momma". The tears immediately stopped and the saddest sounding "Momma" came out. The meltdown was over and we put on our jackets and headed to the Hall's. If its always that easy to end temper tantrums we will be heading to the Halls a lot!!
Here are some pictures from our evening at the Halls:

They were watching some movie on the computer while attempting to sit in the same seat. After they both ended up on the floor we decided two chairs might be better.

Enjoying their movie

Rock band time

Here comes Brayden...

Time to cut the grass. Taylor does everything that Brayden does so thank goodness they had two lawn mowers.

I told Angela we need to give them swiffers so at least they are some what cleaning the house while they play this game over and over again! Next time I will come over with mops and vacuums.

Halloween Weekend!

Guess my last post title jinxed me! I have not been blog happy lately, but I am hopefully back! We had a very fun Halloween weekend. It started Friday morning with a Halloween Party Mommies Group. I don't have that many pictures because my child was really getting into the Halloween spirit and being a little terror! Saturday night Ben, Angela and Brayden came over and we watched Auburn put a hurting on Ole Miss! Brayden and Taylor played and played and played. Bedtimes were after 9:00pm and we all paid for it the next day! The Halls came back over Sunday for our first trick-er-treating experience! It was by far the cutest thing I have ever seen! They were so adorable walking up to the houses. Sometimes Brayden would say "Trick-er-Treat" and other times it was "more candy please". Taylor would just stand there clutching her bucket in one hand and a bag of peanut m&m's in the other hand. They thoroughly enjoyed it and really loved all the candy they received. Prepare yourself LOTS of pictures!!

We tried to get a group photo at mommies group. You might be wondering where Taylor is??....she is trying to climb up my leg, while crying, while I am trying to take the photo! No group photo for her!

Elmo in a much happier mood now! Sorry Stacey that Taylor took a liking to running on your white sofas! I did take her shoes off:)

One of Taylor's friends Eve! Cutest little lady bug. Eve and Taylor have a special little Elmo bond

Saturday Night:

Taylor and Brayden's favorite activity. Jumping from the ottoman to the sofa

Then a few tackles take place and then back to the ottoman...

Sunday:

GinGin and PaPa came over and brought Taylor some Halloween goodies. One was a tickle me Elmo that laughs and rolls on the ground.

She was not so sure about tickle me Elmo!

Brayden and Taylor getting a little exercise in before their candy eating explosion takes place. They count to three, say go and then off they run. This little exercise was done multiple times!





Meet Elmo!

Meet the hard working United States Postal Service

Taylor and dada getting ready to go trick-er-treating

The trick-er-treating group minus John. Angela, Brayden, Ben, Laura, myself and Elmo

Walking up to our first house....guess my head didn't make the cut!

Brayden would ring the doorbell...

and then the goods were passed out!

Please notice...bucket in one hand and peanut m&m's in the other

In this picture Taylor is trying to eat her newly received candy through the wrapper!

Checking out all the good candy they received.

Clutching on to their buckets for dear life. Brayden had to hold his a little tighter since his partner seemed to have wondering hands.

Let the sampling begin!

Halloween was never one of my favorite holidays because lets be honest Christmas rocks. Those feelings quickly changed when my sweet hubby proposed to me 6 years ago on Halloween! Now I love it! Don't judge my outfit I THOUGHT I was going to a Halloween party where you must where orange and black!

The wolf/Bear proposing!
