Perfect Pumpkins!

A few months ago me and the kids started attending the church that I grew-up at as a child; Terrace United Methodist Church. Every year they have a 'Pumpkin Patch' where people can pick pumpkins to buy. This was our first year to attend, and they had this cute set-up for photo-ops! Below is my 'perfect pumpkins' showing off their 'perfect pumpkins'... super-silly!

BRAart Charity Event; October 1st, 2010!!

Wow! Katie and I went to the BRAart Breast Cancer Charity Event and had a super-fab time! I guess word spread pretty quickly that Katie was the youngest BRA-artist to date, so many people kept approaching Katie thanking her and asking to take pictures with her... she felt like a Princess all night long! She loved their candy-bar, and super-loved The Funky Monkey Photo Booth! (This was a really neat idea where party patrons could choose from a variety of hats, masks, glasses, and boas to wear for 6 different photo poses that are instantly printed out onto a postcard-type format!) Katie has already been thinking of how she wants to decorate next year's bra!!

Super Silly Somerville Camping !

We love to camp!

This past weekend we camped at Rocky Creek Park on Lake Somerville, and once again, we had a blast! Our activities on this fun trip included: Catching fishies (and one leach) from the shoreline; swinging on the hammock; swimming in the lake; being pulled on the inner-tube behind the boat; exploring the lake on the jet-ski; eating mom's yummy camp-cooking; walking on the wooded trails; riding bikes; and just flat-out hanging-out!

I love to watch my kids have a fun-tastic time!

Words to live by... according to Nathan

Every Friday both Nathan and Katie come home from school with a "Friday Folder". This folder contains all of the schoolwork they have completed for the entire week. I am not really sure what Nathan's class was supposed to be doing, but it looks like they were to trace the numbers at the top of the page, cut out some pictures from magazines, and glue them to the papers... the funny part is the picture that Nathan glued on the top right of his paper!

"Teach your kids not to share."

So far, this has been Nathan's life "Motto"!

Hahahaha! Too funny!

BraArt !

There is a neat charity group in Houston called "Charity Chics"! Each year they put on this even called BraTober, which is where anyone can decorate a bra and donate it to be auctioned to a predetermined breast cancer charity cause. Last year proceeds went to "Save-the-Ta-Tas", and this year proceeds will be going to a charity called "Bright Pink"! Katie and myself entered the charity event where the top 50 decorated bras will be chosen to be displayed at the BraTober event on October 1st! We are not yet sure if we will be going to the main event since we already have previous plans made during the duration of the event... it's a fancy dress-up event and although I contacted them to see if a 9-year old was allowed to attend (which they said she can), neither of us have anything to wear; we'll see... we will not know if our bras were chosen as the top 50 for another week (on September 25th).

Below: This is the bra I decorated... I called it "Bra-tastic" because each bottlecap has some kind of inspiring word or picture...

Below: This is the bra Katie entered... she called hers "Sparkle-Gram" because it's sparkly!

WISH US GALS LUCK!

Even if we don't get picked, we did this for special reasons!
