My poor baby!

My baby has had her first visit to the ED. She hit her head on the corner of the table when she fell off the computer chair. It split her forehead open and they "glued" her back together. It was so sad. She has pink "highlights" in her hair...from the blood. The cut is really not so bad, but my goodness, heads bleed a lot. She is a trooper though, and was back up in no time. Today she and Reese were playing and she was trying to get Reese's attention. Reese didn't answer her, so finally Presley yells, "Weese Morgynne!" Too cute! Reese is funny, too. I love it when she tells me at bedtime, "Mommy, don't come back!". I think what she really means is, "Don't leave", but the "don't come back" makes me giggle.

Halloween Fun!

Ready to trick-or-treat!

Presley, the Black Widow!

Reese, the "scawwyy witch".

Our awesome pumpkins! Thanks, Geri, for the carving kit!

We had some friends come over to carve pumpkins outside. Had a great time with Karen, Bethany, and Kara. Want to do it again next year, guys?

Scawwweeee Witch!

We had a great weekend. It was absolutely beautiful weather for October, so we spent the entire weekend outdoors. Saturday we went with a group of friends to the Lazy Five Ranch. The girls loved the horse drawn wagon and feeding all the animals. Presley loved the baby piggies. She would giggle everytime she saw one. I will have to say, it was hard not to grab one and stick it in my purse to take home and keep as a pet. So cute. Presley also liked petting the sheep. She said, "Oooh! Soft, like Polka Dot Blankie". Reese was in love with feeding the baby goats. They also had a hay bale maze and a corn pit. The girls loved jumping off the hay into the corn. They brought a ton of it home in their britches, too. Gives a whole new meaning to the word "corn hole". Hahaha. Halloween was fun, too. The girls were so tired from the ranch that we didn't make it to the church trunk-or-treat party. However, we did go around the neighborhood and trick-or-treat to the neighbors. Thanks, neighbors, who gave our kids fruit, yogurt, bubbles, books, and socks in lieu of candy. We really appreciate your thoughfulness...Then we headed over to Ardmore to see the haunted houses. Funny how they weren't afraid of the scary witch, zombies, skeletons, spiders, and freaky clowns, but Presley was terrified of someone dressed as a duck. Go figure!

An elevator story

I have started teaching spanish at the Old Salem Montessori preschool. Reese and Presley get to come and participate, too. It ws a crazy day and somehow Presley got mixed in the shuffle with the kids going down to the carpool line and Reese ran into the doorjam and was crying...I forgot to turn off the lights in the classroom, and when I got into the lobby area a teacher asked if the little blond girl was mine. I quickly scan the area and do not see Presley anywhere. I begin to panic then I hear the screaming, "Mom-eeeeeee"!!!!!!!!!! Presley had gotten in the elevator and was on her way down by herself as I struggled to run down the stairs carrying Reese and all my stuff before presley got there. Luckily a nice lady got her out. She was crying so hard...when I finally calmed her down, she said, "mommy...I ride da' elevat-oh by se-elf. I Like it!" It was funny.

I love how Presley has to totally "spread 'em". She loves going peepee and poopoo on the potty. I am certain she will be so embarassed by this post someday, but I think it is too cute!

Look at that sassy little face. Presley's new fave phrase is "what the heck!"

Reese showin' the love. She is such a smoocher. She is always trying to hug and kiss everyone. Sweet Reese!

"could the paparazzi PLEASE put down the cameras?"

More cuteness!

Reese and Presley are going to be witches for Halloween. Whenever we watch "Enchanted" Reese always tells me "Pwesley scared of the witch". However, it is Reese who always turns and faces the back of the couch when the witch comes on. Presley has a book with a witch in it, and she always brings it to me and asks, "Mommy, whe-yer da' witch?" (She totally has a southern accent sometimes). Got the hats at the Dollar Spot @ Target.

If you haven't heard about the "Skinny Girl" recipes, you are missing out on a completely healthy (as healthy as chocolate muffins can be) recipe. Here are the girls helping me make "Chocolate Salad", as Reese calls it.

Get a load of that smile. Also, a funny thing Presley did...(2, actually)...we bought Reese new panties...so Presley wears them, too. ALL at the same time. I changed her diaper one day and she had 8 pairs of panties over them. She loves them and she can't decide which one she wants to wear, so I guess she decides all of them. She is also almost potty trained. Good with number 1 and number 2 is going well so far. The other night, she pooped in the potty. She makes us hold up her shirt in the front so she can see it come out, then she likes to talk to it before she flushes it. As she was flushing, she says, "Bye-bye banana". ( I cracked up, because it actually did look like one...a nice curvy one.) Anyhow...That's our little Presley. Silly Willy.

Presley is obsessed with baby dolls and babies...baby ANYTHING! I have to cut up all her food in "baby bites". She is such a funny little momma.

And Reese LOVES her animals!

This is their hang out spot when we are on the computer. They like to sit there and color.A few weeks ago, Reese had a really high fever for about a week. She was unconsolable. One day, after she got up from her nap, she refused to be held ...wouldn't eat or drink...she went behind the couch to pout...this is how I found her a few minutes later.

Reese loves to hold Presley...but it is a rare occurrence when Presley wants to be held by Reese.
