Corrie scenes

The Monday Blues

A few of our favorite things these days...  Mary loves animal sounds (especially the farm ones) and the big bed by the window.  She loves escaping diaper changes or after bath lotioning to look out the window and throw herself in the pillows.  And this is Corrie's favorite shirt,

THE MONKEY SHIRT!

Corrie cuts

It was sunny and 70 on Saturday (in mid November?!), so Corrie got a haircut.

Corrie quotes

"Johnny! You need a grown-up!" (to our cat crossing the road)

"And When I'm 16 I will reach the ceiling... yeah.. and when I'm 18 I will drive a car!"

(talking about playing at Chick-Fil-A lunch)
"And there were these two boys there and I was scared"
('Why were you scared?')
"Because they were huge!"

More Mary Minutes

Corrie quotes

"Maybe after the store we can get a guinea pig!"

(near the candy corn jar) "Mommy, you better keep an eye on me!"

(feeling grandpa's shaved face) "Grandpa, your hair got shorter..."

(putting stickers all over her balloon)  "I'm just making my balloon all sparkly for Christmas!"

Let the candy rationing begin!  This was the first actual Halloween that Corrie got to knock on people's door and get candy (her favorite thing right now!).  Mary enjoyed being a flower (or synchronized swimmer person?) and riding in the wagon and Johnny wound up hiding under somebody's bushes most of the evening.  We had a great time!

Grandpa and Grandma Powell were here for a much loved visit.   We sure had a lot of fun and according to Corrie Grandpa takes A LOT of naps!  A quote from the weekend... Corrie eyeing the candy corn, "Mommy, can you keep an eye on me?".   Sure, Honey :)
