I bought this singing Santa that when you press his button sings and slides all over the floor. Casey fell in love immediately and hasn't let it out of her sight yet. I thought it was so cute how every time the music came on Casey and Sydney would dance around the house like crazy so I tried to capture a little of it... ENJOY!!!
Today was a crazy day from start to finish...
Last night I flipped through all the sale flyers and seriously considered getting up and going to the stores at 4am. Then my senses kicked in and I decided against that CRAZY idea. No No - why do that when I can just go this morning - Surely most people will be at home resting because they were up so early shopping! HA!
Day of Thanks - The Final Day!!
Dawn tagged me and it is good blog etiquette to complete it so here is some insight you would not have without this "tagging"
I went next door the other day to bug Dawn and check out all her Christmas decorations and she showed me the cutest thing. A perfectly sized PINK tree that she picked up for Addie at WalMart! Of course when Sydney saw it she was totally into the idea of having her own tree but I was worried because Casey is a little monster and would destroy it within seconds - right? Wrong!! Dawn gave me a great idea and I think it will work out without any tears or broken ornaments!!! I love that I can do these things for my little girls! Next year I am sure that Casey will have her own tree but probably the purple one!!! 
I thought I posted yesterday but when I came in here tonight I saw that I hadn't posted day #4 yet so it is here combined with day #5. ENJOY!!!
So today I'm totally thankful for my neighbor, Dawn! Not only are we soooo much alike in a ton of ways ( I mean it's creepy sometime) but our children are close in age and our husbands get along. She is my shopping buddy - which is great cause Daniel hates shopping!! She satisfies my craft addiction and she has even introduced a new one (stamping!). Dawn is a really amazing person that I'm lucky enough to have right next door!! Yay for good friends!!!
My Parents and My Brothers Family...
Since Thanksgiving is 6 days away I thought it would be fun to blog everyday about what I am thankful for!!
Casey is almost 19 months old but due to vacation and the Dr's schedule she just had her 18 month check-up on the 10th. So let me tell you a little bit about our precious girl...
DENTIST - at least for me!! My kids didn't seem to be phased much!!!
This was Casey's first visit and it is a male dentist so the combination of that was a little upsetting but she did great! Actually I think I was more nervous than they were...
The great news is that neither of them have any cavities or signs of cavities!! YAY!!! Sydney's X-rays showed that her adult teeth are ready and waiting (anytime between 5 and 7 they should start to make an appearance). He liked the spacing and the overall mouth health of both girls!! He confirmed that Casey had in fact just gotten 4 new teeth and was about to get some molar's in the back of her mouth - YES MORE TEETHING!!!! Nothing concerning though and we don't have to return for another 6 months!!!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen Daniel is 29 tomorrow!! Daniel and I met in Oct 1999 when we were both babies at 19 years old. It is hard to believe that the two "kids" that met back then are now the child raising, mortgage paying, future planning adults that we are now!!
We had such a blast last night with the kids!! Everyone dressed up and took the girls Trick-or-Treating... Words will not do it justice so here are the pictures that captured our little ladybug, our princess witch, the cowboy sheriff, the crazy clown, the doctor, the two kitty's and a Pimp!!!
We had a family portrait done this afternoon (right at nap time so you can imagine how well the children cooperated!!!) then off to lunch (still during nap time - we are REALLY crazy!)
