A Wednesday Without Words

Wordless Wednesday

Yeeee Doggy!

That is what her daddy tells her everytime she wears her favorite pair of shoes (besides my high-heels)....her pink boots. Now she uses the excuse that she must wear them all of the time because we have red and yellow snakes in the grass. I was working in the front yard gardening and went to take a picture while "shooting from the hip" like other mommy's at Tracey's Picture This. Check 'um out!

Fairy Magic

Sometimes I wonder if she knows how much "magic" she has brought into both my life and Chad's. Sometimes when we sit and watch her sleep, play, read, etc. we will look at each other and I know we are thinking the same thing, "How blessed we are". This little fairy definitely has a spell on us.

With Halloween in 3 days, this past week was quite busy with Halloween celebrations at school, gymnastics, and neighbor and friend parties. She loves putting on a costume show. She loves her fairy costume and insists that she eat, sleep, and play in it. Of course, we let her. Her daddy tried again to convince her to be a "zombie fairy", Chad are you kidding me? Alyssa would never give up the "fashy-ness".

"Toothless Tuesday"

I knew as Lissy started kindergarten I would have lots of "firsts" well this was one. Her tooth was so loose and just bearly there. I told her she needed to "Get a kleenex and yank it out" and you know what? When I was not looking, She did it! We were at one of my girlfriend's house's and all of a sudden there is a little blood, and a little girl asking for a little baggie to save a little treasure for the toothfairy.

OMAGOSH

Yesterday I made a little wish for my peeps in cold weather land to send us a breeze....hallelujah we got it! (By the way...thanks!) I woke up at 3am to a windy rainy storm that settled into a cool fall-like day. What the heck, just yesterday yesterday we got a sunburn! Lissy was especially excited because she actually got to wear a light coat from Baby Gap (that is one of her favorite stores...yep already...what she calls "fashy"). I think I might go pick out a sweater and some boots for tomorrow! Burrrrr...... Oh, and this colorful pictures serves two purposes..... to catch the "colorful" mommy picture fever at Picture This and because it is a Macro Monday! Galileo thermometer reads.....well below 90 degrees....59 degrees, baby!

Fall in Texas

Hummm... I am wondering if I will ever be able to put on a pair of jeans and feel comfortable, no not because I've gained a few pounds...or 2 (well that too) but because it is still so freakin' hot here! We use to love North Carolina because when Halloween rolled around it was nice and chilly, leaves turned colors, hot apple cider, going to a "real" pumpkin patch and corn maze...NOW ....that is what you call "Fall" and "Octoberfest". Here, nope..... we are still swimming in the backyard, wearing shorts, finding scorpions, and sweatin' as we mow the lawn. Chad said today, when is the yard going to turn colors....my reply was, "Honey I think we are in for a long wait".

Since I am not a "true Texan" I'm not sure if San Antonian's are the only ones with lame fall weather, I guess I should check out the news. So those of you up north and my peeps in NC.....blow us a cool breeze or two, I have some cute sweaters and jeans to wear!

JOY

So many things in life bring me joy, shoes, purses, food, but not the kind of "LOVE JOY" that my family and pets bring! The joy of family brings meaning to being alive. Being a mommy is the best thing in the world, how boring my life must have been before we had Alyssa. I love my little 2lb piece of love also, Abbie Gayle, who is quite the snuggle-er, and how can you not have joy looking at that tiny little hair face. Check out all the other joys that mommy's have at Tracey's Picture This.
