Silent AND Deadly...

So our Cute, Adorable, Petite and Sweet Little Miss Millie has turned into a Monster!!!
If the house is Quite I am in Trouble!

Today she got in the bathroom pulled out bright red nail polish and began to paint her nails along with my carpet, her cheeks, neck and legs. She then proceeds to draw on her tummy with a marker. She took several baby bites of Heath's deodorant and painted her face with my mascara. At least her breath smelt Goood?... I guess I should be thankful that it's Halloween so it looks like we are totally prepared with our little monster All Dressed Up! She loves to go into the pantry shut the door and pour out sugar or flour on the floor and practice her ballet moves in it. Then she goes into the bathroom and turns on the water to and climbs in the sink.

Your probably wondering where I am during all of this... Cleaning up the mess she made right before this one...
On the Flip side she is as Sweet as Pie! She gives out the Best Hug and Kisses and can make anyone Smile by just looking at her. She can sing some mean songs, and man can she dance! She takes care of her babies like it's nobodies business. She squeels and runs to the family room when we say, "it's bed time" cause she wants to help say the prayers and then finishes it with a Woo Woo~ We can all count on Millie's goodnight hugs. She wants to go to bed each night with her... E-Mommy...E-Ba Ba (sippy cup) She lays on my stomach and pulls her shirt up and want me to tickle her. If I slow down she starts tapping my arm to remind me of my job. She wakes up each morning with a smile on her face and so much Love for all of Us. Aren't we Blessed?
I guess we'll Keep Her!
We LOVE You Miss Millie!
Thanks for adding a little EXCITEMENT to our Lives!

Trial Run...

So Maizie is Always asking me to do her hair Curly... So I found these fun sponge curlers... We thought we would give it a "Trial Run"
I think it was a Success.. She has some soft curl and body. Next time I think I will get more curl now that I know how they work. After all this is a Trial Run.
Heath was mowing the Lawn this morning. It is a known fact that Millie belongs in the backpack on Dad's back when he mows the lawn. Heath was almost done before Millie realised Dad was mowing. She quickly ran out to help. Heath bent down threw her over his shoulders and off they went. Millie held on for her life and was all smiles! Who needs a backpack?... Last but not least this morning I woke up ready for something new for us to do...
Homemade Play Dough!

The Girls Loved It! Maizie played with it all morning long!
Two Cupcakes... One for You one for Maizie!
Play dough Recipe
2 Cups Water
1 Cup Salt
4 Tsp Cream of Tartar
4 Tbs Veg. Oil
2 Cups Flour
In a large pan begin with Water, Oil, Salt, and Cream of Tartar. Turn stove on to low to warm up
the mixture. Add the Flour and Stir Away. It will be Lumpy but just keep Stirring... You will know it is done when it pulls away from the pan and forms a ball.
I put mine on the counter and let it cool. Then divided into groups. I flattened out the play dough and added Gel food coloring and worked it into the play dough.
You can add Kool-aid or extracts to add Yummy Scents. I added some and it was almost too yummy and Millie wanted to eat it... so be watch out if you have a little Eater!
We used sea shells, birthday candles, straws, cheese grater, rolling pens, cookie cutters, scissors, cups, bowls and forks, to make fun shapes. Store them in a tupperware container and your good to go later when you want to play with it again!
Enjoy! We sure did!

Our Family Date...

I Scream... You Scream... We all Scream for Ice Cream!
Good to last Lick!
It was too cold to eat Ice Cream outside so we jumped in the car for a ride and found
ourselves at the Beach.
Heath found this Lot that was for sale right on the beach. We parked and jumped out to play. It was windy and cold, but it felt so good to have a change in the temperature.
With Built in benches and this darling blue chair we enjoyed the view... We collect Sea Shells

Dipped out toes in the warm water and watched the big waves roll in

We played until it started to get dark and our nose's were cold.
And we were Blessed to have this Beautiful Sunset to guide us home.

Din~Din!




I was in the Kitchen putting dinner together when Heath called and told us that he didn't have Young Men's cause they have a activity on Saturday. He offered to take us to a New Mexican Restaurant. Of Course we jumped at the offer and climbed in the car to meet him. It was at this Amazing outdoor mall with water falls, flowers and fish ponds. We have been in need of a Good Mexican restaurant around here. (The Floridians just don't get Mexican.) But tonight we found the spot, with Guacamole made at our table. It was Delightful!



It was warm outside with a big full moon. We walked along the shops and all Agreed, this is why we LOVE Florida! We finished off with a Carmel apple... Heavenly!!!

My neighbor came over and told me it was on her Patio this morning. LOVELY!The girl's Quickly took it upon themselves to make & take flyer's around the neighborhood to let them in our BIG Secret!This is Maizie's Alligator Notice:

Millie Loved coloring with the girls and sitting in the stroller as they passed the flyer's out.

Note To Self: NO playing in the back yard!...

We were Lucky enough to have Jon and Jackie come visit. Oh how we have missed our buddies! Life was wonderful when we were only a few blocks from each other in Washington. Now being several states apart life isn't the same! But we sure enjoyed the time we had with them. We got to tastes Jon's Masterful Cooking and Hear Jackie's Happy laugh along with her cleaning house skills. And the Kids Loved playing with Amanda, Jace and Quinn.Thumbs up on our Fun day...
