day 298

I bought myself some new ponies. Yes, myself. I wanted them. ;)

Ember insisted that I need to share because "We're friends right?"

Ember holding *my* new ponies.



And making a "hamaburger" out of one of them.

day 297

Looks too perfect to be real, but it is! :D

day 296

day 295

day 294

Matching Halloween outfits thanks to grandma. :)

day 293

Sasha and Maddy Spider.

day 292

day 291

Today was eventful! The voices of Spongebob and Patrick were at Tapteal, so I brought Ember to see. I was wowed, but I don't think Ember got it. I was surprised how well Ember blended with my class... she could do everything they could do. Kind of scary and kind of cool all at the same time.



Then we came home and built a Halloween Gingerbread house. I constructed it due to super stubborn icing play doh stuff! Ember decorated.

day 290

mmmmmmmmm, spaghetti!

day 289

Cutest PJs ever! Look at the feet. <3

day 288

Sorry about the sideways-ness! Wasn't thinking, clearly. But here's just Briar being Briar.

day 287

I quarantined Ember with Dan today. She had some kind of stomach virus and I'd just rather Briar not get it. I did drop by Walmart and get her two new things. A huge spider, who she clearly adores and named her (yes her) Maddy Spider and a costume petti-skirt-ish thing. It twirls nicely and she enjoyed it!







I had Dan take these pics.

day 287

Ember can almost do this puzzle by herself. She is at a point where she just needs a little encouragement, but not actual help. Puzzles are really not her thing, for as easy as most things come to her, puzzles are a challenge!

day 286

Woo-hoo curtains! She's been doing this for about a month. Sometimes Sasha (cat) gets in on the fun too and that REALLY getting her laughing.

fyi: the curtains are really thin cloth... she can breathe. ;)

day 285

Here's Briar in mismatched pajamas clapping. She had just stood up on the walker and then paused to clap for herself.

day 284

No hands! Go Briar! 8.5 mo old and standing!

day 283

Lazy Saturday.

day 282

day 281

The boots. Every little girl needs a pair of cowboy boots in a color that match nothing! ;)

day 280

I know it's blurry, but Briar was trying to steal Ember's poptart.

day 279

Sadly Ember is in the largest size Robeez we can find. 3-4. I wish they came just one size larger. She loves them!

day 278

She's coming! Oooooh noooo!!

day 277

day 276

One of my favorites!

day 275

Ready for her closeup! Even if I wasn't!

day 274

day 273

Beans, beans...

day 272

day 271

Getting...

Briar....


dressed....

day 270

This, my friends is a "no thank you bite."

day 269

This is Isabelle. She used to be Remy... she used to be mine. I found her in my mom's garage and gave her to Ember, and now, she's Isabelle. :)

day 268

Yep, a spider eating a yellow jacket.

day 267

What do you mean she has too many hair pretties??

day 266

The sand box.

day 265

One of my favorites of Ember's toys. Not hers obviously as the tag is still on it.

day 264

So much work to do. I wish teachers got paid overtime.

day 263

Tumbleweed in bloom. I will try to remember that they can be (almost) pretty as I'm dodging them and picking them out from under my car this winter.

day 262

My vice.

day 261

Even non "action shots" of the cats end up blurry.

day 260

day 259

Action shot...



Yeah, I am really lame at action shots. >.<
