The Grinch with my Gwinna

October

Homecoming Parade (feeling like summer time still?!)

Noelle, so proud of her kill.  hahahaha

Gwinna's fun school assignment. We all helped her make a cabin and then she brought that awesome robot home. 

I love him...her? I think its supposed to be a Gwinna one with the hair? 

Sia takes such great care of all of our Halloween creatures and of course, her babies.  

These were really easy and addicting^^^^ 

hugs, pretzels and candy corn

"ghostes"

our sweet Gwinna girl practicing lines in acting class

When I take her its dangerous because we discovered a place called "Krazy Rolls." 

YUM. Good cinnamon rolls.  

Trunk or Treat is always too much fun:) 

Winnie Sanderson, Billy Butcherson, lame mama award, Sparky from Frankenweenie and Sarah Sanderson:) :) :)

. . . and the sweetest clown Great Grammy in the Universe came to the door with goodie bags for the girls!!! 

Sia wanted to tell everyone leading up to Halloween: 

"Imma be Spawky for Halloween!!"

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

September

Gwinna working on her weekly writing assignment.  The first week she fought me on doing it up until the day before but the second week she wanted to finish it as soon as possible and now she actually enjoys thinking of stories to write. She is awesome.  And that tongue! haha

A Sia scene. 

 I often find our sweet and slightly creepy little Sparky dog around the house set up...in her stroller, on Doc Mcstuffins cart, tucked in bed...she even buckles him up when Gwinna isn't in the third carseat:) 

"take our picture mom!" ^^^

selfies with Grandma after piano :) 

I discovered this month I could totally create a Miranda Sings type character of my own! haha. My face. My zit;)  BUT look at that gorgeous yarn.  I love it so much I'm making myself a big, heavy scarf.  Thank you Lils and my mama for my birthday present!!!

Beginning to look a lot like Halloweenie time over here......:) 

August

There were many pictures of sprinkler time in the backyard but our Sia was usually in the nude so I decided to keep them for our eyes only:)  We did slime, sprinklers, lots of crafting and coloring this summer.  Gwinna is in first grade now and she is loving it.  Strict teachers and I am loving that. Grandma is teaching Gwinna how to play the piano this year so she also decided to send over her antique piano for Gwinna to practice on and we all love having it here!  

I had to include this self portrait of Noelle. 

^^^I am in love with it. 

This was also a month of going with Michael to add a few decorations to each of his offices. His office at home remains the favorite... Turlock, Fresno, Monterey (haven't done anything there yet) and Merced. I help him put together a desk in Merced and we realized at the very end we'd done it backward...we are not cut out for assembling furniture but we had a good time in the end;) Fresno trip was fun...Chick Fil A and Anthropologie.
