Rudolph

I got this onsie for Paisley before I knew we were having another little girl but I at least new we were having another baby and got the right size for the holiday it was meant to be worn around before I bought it.  I am so glad Paisley turned out a girl just in case we really are done having children which I am pretty sure we are...but ya never know.  Anyway...look how cute she looks in this:

such squeezeable, fluffy cheeks...love this lil/big girl!

Adey's thankful tree

With Thanksgiving around the corner I wanted to teach Adey what the holiday is meant to be besides eating lots of food and schools being closed and the black Friday shopping (which I look forward to doing with her when she is older just like me and my mommy did...aw such memories).  

So we took white paper (can be done on brown but we didn't have any) and brown colored pencils and we each colored the whole paper.  Then we cut out our "tree trunk and taped them together.  Then we traced Adey's hand and cut them out on green, yellow, red, and orange paper.  We then taped everything to our front door (so she can be reminded every day of all the blessings in her life and so that we can actually do it every day).  I let her pick which leaf she wants for that day and we date it and we write Adey is thankful for...

so far we have barbies, mommy, daddy, Paisley, Oskar, ice cream

these are of Adey coloring...she just got out of the bath by the way

working on her cutting skills which she is getting quite good at

the final product.  i think it turned out pretty good and it was fun to make and a tradition we will do every year and let Paisley make one when she is old enough to understand.

Comfortable?!

I went in to check on Adey one night a few weeks ago (I know it has been tough finding time to catch up on my blogging but here I am and I would say better late then never) and this is how I found her...

Whats new with Paisley Poo...

From grabbing toys to babbling away this lil princess just keeps gettin bigger and bigger.  When others meet her for the first time they are so surprised that she was almost 7 weeks early.  When I too look at her I actually think the very same thing.  What has happened to my teenie tiny baby girl that started her first breaths with tubes and cords to this...?!

This was taken almost 2 weeks ago (10/28/2012)

Halloween treat

so I wanted to do something nice for a few of my friends so i got them all a mountain dew and cut out these ghosts and wrote on the orange sayings "thanks for all you dew" and then "wrapped" a candy bar with a bat theme and attached all in a little pouch.  I hope they liked them!  I will do this more often around the holidays.  it was quite fun to make.

Halloween Part 4

sorry with having two little ones and my puppies I have found very little time to myself which is more then fine because i would rather make memories to cherish and blog later.  But anyway here is another activity Adey and I did from our Halloween chain I mentioned in an earlier post that can be viewed here ( http://fullmerfam06.blogspot.com/2012/10/halloween.html )

we made "candy corn" fruit cups using mandarin oranges, pineapple, and homemade whip cream.  They were quite delish if you ask me or even Adey...Halloween doesn't have to be all about junk food just saying..

getting ready to make our night time snack

Adey making the whip cream and adding the first layer which is pineapple

next adding the mandarin oranges and then the last layer which is whip cream

tada...a yummy healthy Halloween treat!
