My Poor Little Baby...

My poor little baby has been sick ALL week long. She literally was out from school Monday through Friday. She got a stomach virus, then it just knocked her down! She was so tired and weak. It was so sad seeing her so miserable. She is just about back to normal. She still wants to nap, which is NOT like her at all! But, I will allow it of course, as long as she sleeps at night! With her at home, Richard was able to work on her room, and get her hardwood floors put in. He replaced to baseboards too. It looks soooooo good! I will post pictures soon ,once I can get her feeling better to to take some pictures in her "new room!" She loves it!!

Halloween Fun!!!

We hosted a Halloween Party here at our house this year. This Halloween was Richard's first Halloween to EVER be off in the 5 years Tatum has gone trick or treating. So, he wanted to make it fun for himself and Tatum! So, we send out invites, and I made a bunch of great food. I had bobbing for apples and a craft for the kids to do after they ate. They all went trick or treating around our neighborhood, which happened to be better than I thought, since most people around here are older and do not participate, and hand out candy. Tatum was a Cowgirl, riding a horse. She looked really cute! Of course, I didn't get a picture in the light, so it is hard to see how cute she really looked in her cowgirl hat and all! The weather was perfect last night for Trick or Treaters, and the party was a success! I didn't get many pictures since I was "hosting" but a friend did, so hopefully I can get some from her!!

It's All We Could Do, Not to Laugh....

After tucking Tatum in for bed tonight, I walked out of her room, looking straight ahead, to find this...on the wall in front of her bedroom. What was she thinking?? I called Richard in to check it out. He just laughs, and says, "Well, it is written really good!" Yes, it was hard not to commend her on the neat handwriting, since we have been working on keeping all our letters the same size....HOWEVER....it is my WALL!! So, we get Tatum out of bed, ask her what she did today that she probably shouldn't have...she didn't know. We pointed out the wall, and she says, "Oh ya, I did that!" Oh really, I thought Daddy did!?! We go over what we are supposed to write on, and tuck her back in bed. As Richard tells her, "but, Tatum, you wrote your name very good!!" Oh geeze, is that helping? Anyway, I guess we will be applying a fresh coat of paint to the hallway fairly soon!!! What else can I get my husband to paint??

It's Finally Fall....

WhooHooo! It's finally Fall. The weather has turned cool, and I can finally dress Tatum in all the CUTE Fall clothes I bought her during Back-to School! Now, if I could only dress as cute as she does...

Pumpkin Patch with my Pumpkin....

We went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday after school with The Peads. It was nice to have them here this time of year! Tatum and Gavin had fun running around, going on a hay ride, riding a "tractor train", and feeding the animals. We managed to squeeze some picture in there too. Though not as many as in the past. She is just too busy now.

Our Peanut...

Here is the first picture of our new addition to our little family. My 9 week appointment was this past Friday. We obviously can't tell what the sex is, but...we will know soon enough. Tatum was super excited to get to see a real picture of what is going on inside my stomach. I think she is now getting the concept. When asked what it looks like, she said "A Girl!" I guess we will have to wait and see!! In the sono, the baby is upside down. The bottom circle part is actually the head. My doctor tried to wake it up, so it would move a little bit, but no such luck!! In Tatum's 9 week sono, she was awake, moving around, looking at the screen, and stuck out her hand to wave! This one MUST be a lazy boy!!!
