WE WON! Obama Won The Election!

As many of you know I'm a supporter of Barack Obama.....so of course I voted for him yesterday. The win last night was a happy thing for me, and Bryan too.

Things are going to change now, and I'm super happy to hear that. I know it's not going to change over night, It will be a change that we have all been needing for years now.

Don't Forget to Vote!

Like any good American, we did our duty today and went down to vote. Bryan had the day off so we went as a family. We had to stand in line for about 1/2 hour before we were able to vote. They even gave the girls candy and even let Amelia pretend to vote, she thought that was pretty neat.

Just a picture of Norah and Daddy at the polls.

Pop Pop balls, night time walk and playground time.

Just a few photos to show off my girls.

Sara and Rhiley joined the girls and I when we drove to my moms for the day on Saturday. We made Carmel corn and Pop Pop balls (pop corn balls). We hung out and relaxed a bit for the afternoon. It was a nice break.

Pop corn....pre-balls.
Amelia licking the spoon.
Our yummy treats.


We went for a walk the other night. It was pretty cool out aso we had to bundle the girls up, but they still had a fun time.
Check out this creepy picture of Amelia....My camera just did something weird.
The girls are always playing around, and being silly is part of life as a baby and toddler. Look at Miss Norah, such a goofy girl.

Yesterday and well today too, the weather is BEAUTIFUL for November. Amazing! So we walked to the school down the road and the girls were able to play on the slides.

Miss Norah hanging out watching everything.
WEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Taking a rest and checking it all out.

While we were at the playground I shot a few photos too....you know me.

Save A Buck....Or Two.

Everyone is trying to save a buck now days. People are living paycheck to paycheck and having to cut corners like never before. Us included.

Though my reading and searching and also my new love of blogs and I came across this Awesome Blog. Stop now and take a look! I seriously think that this blog can help many of us save more than even a buck two. The blog is called "Never pay Retail Again". Brilliant, yes Brilliant!

The writer of this blog is a mom just like most of us and she has found tips to save a bundle. Through her words on her blog she is passing the information on to everyone else.

A catch up from the past week.

We have been busy besides Halloween events. I have taken some other cute shots of the girls and I wanted to show them off in a quick short post here. Take a peek:

That smile just makes me so happy! Look at that Hair, it never lays down!

Busted.....making a mess for me to pick up.
My little love.

She really can be so sweet.
And Naughty.
We had craft night. I was making Felicity a necklace for her Birthday and Amelia wanted to play too. So I gave her some beads to play with. She loved it.

This morning I said to pose for the camera and show off her new jammies. This is what I got....oh man Am I in trouble or what?
Norah in her new Jammies too.

Halloween Fun For Us All!

Halloween was defiantly celebrated with tons of fun and lots of Candy! Candy, Candy and More Candy! It's crazy how much candy the two girls received!

We went to my parents on Wednesday evening for Felicity's Birthday...... Sara and Rhiley came along too. We brought the girls over to Matt and Felicity's house then to Jake and Gracie's then on to my parents house for some Trick or treat fun. They were so spoiled...You can't imagine how much crap they received! NUTS!

After the trick or treat we had dinner and celebrated Felicity's Birthday. She chose to have spaghetti for dinner and wow was it good. Mom made her own sauce. oh my, tasty!

Trick or Treat doesn't end here. We The did Trick or Treat at the gym too. Friday morning the girls dressed up and paraded all over the gym and people handed out candy to them. Yeah like they needed more candy! They had fun though.

Trick or treating.

That evening we went out in the neighborhood to trick or treat and then to a trunk or treat at a local church....it was neat, they had all the cars set up in a row and people were giving out candy and treats from the trunk of their cars. It was nice, we didn't have to fight the sidewalks and other kids. The girls had a fun time.

The three all ready to go.
She looks Thrilled doesn't she?
Sweetie. Such a sweet Dorthy.
Getting the goods.....Looking like a real bag lady isn't she?
Much happier now.
I love this one.
Thanks for looking....Hope you all had a great Halloween!

Fall Time, Coming to an end, One last color look.
