Girl's Room

 Here's the view into the girl's room.  It's not done yet, there's still a lot of work to do but here's where we're at now. 

 I kinda just threw some things up, I'm sure I'll be moving things around a bit once I'm done with other projects.

 This sign needs "sweet" above it still & I think I'll shorten the ribbon on the dreams so it's up higher and can be seen better from the ground.  We made the dots out of clay & hot glued them to the letters.

 I have a few different ideas for lighting under their bed.  At this point we put some rope lights around the edge for lack of something better.

End of October. . .

 Our sweet Meme came to town October 25th through November 1st.  We LOVE her visits & had such a wonderful time.  Unfortunately, she was taking all the pictures so I don't have any with her and the kids : ( but here they are sporting some of their fun new clothes courtesy of Meme.    While she was here I got to sleep in every morning, my own little mini-vacation at home.  : )   She watched the kids on Halloween while Will & I went on a date so we don't have that official pic of the kids in their costumes, I'll see if I can stage one in the next couple of days.  : )

Here's Ethne looking WAY too grown up for me in her costume.  Mom & Dad brought me a pair of Will's old fatigues from Air National Guard days that I cut in half & made this dress out of one of the legs.  As tight as it was she could have been a camo mermaid!  I could have sewn a little tighter in the arms but she didn't mind.  : )  That pic was actually taken on the 30th before we went to a Halloween party at the Corry's house up the street. 

 This pic of Lilyanah was taken AFTER trick-or-treating (where she wore Ethne's Cinderella wedding dress).  Ethne actually wore this wig trick-or-treating since Lilyanah decided to be a princess instead.  Lilyanah had apparently forgotten that she could wear the wig if she dressed up like Scarlett (the GIJoe) & was pretty devastated that Ethne got to wear it instead of her.  Which, I assume is why she is wearing her GIJoe outfit and the wig in this pic after the festivities, (we were on a date).  : )

This last pic is from today.  Our sweet princess fell off a 'self-made chair' (consisting of a lego table and wooden box), and gashed her lip pretty bad on the 4th of November.  She lost ANOTHER tooth, knocked the other one pretty loose & was bleeding so badly I grabbed my things & took her up to the hospital in Saratoga.  We were fortunate enough to be there when our neighbor, (who is an ER doctor) was there.  Her cut didn't require stitches, I wish I had a pic where you could see the relief on her face when the Dr. said no stitches, SUCH RELIEF! 

It was one of those times I probably didn't need to take her to the ER but better safe than sorry.  In the end she came away with some princess stickers & a cute bear named Tender Care.  Good times!  Last November, on my birthday actually, we were at the ER with Westyn for the cut above his eye.  This year 3 days after my birthday I was at the hospital with Lilyanah, next November I'm padding the kids in pillows and keeping them in padded rooms, no more ER please!  : )  Love you all!
