Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was our Thanksgiving Feast at the Preschool. It was a lot of fun with some seriously great food. I can't wait until next week!

 

 

I won!!!

The fabulous Maya over at Little Dudes and Divas (www.littledudesanddivas.com) just had a fun giveaway where a few people could win their choice of prize, and I was one of the fortunate winners! We could choose:

Either:
1 Cupcake Mini Baby Blanket (giraffe, duck, bear, frog, blue lamb, pink lamb)
(1 blanket with 2 babies, not a good idea)

Or:
1 BabyLegs (Spice, Chipotle, Purple Bandana, Seersucker, Gold Dot, Pink White Heather, Blue Herringbone, Tulip, Ivy)
(we have BabyLegs we never wear)

Or:
1 Fanci-Free Accessory
(a bag for me)

I chose the Fanci-Free Wallet/Cellphone Oraganizer in the Raining Daisy's print. I'm soooo excited. A new bag for me, and it's free! Anyone who knows me knows how excited I am. Here's a pic of what I'll be anxiously expecting in the mail.




It should go great with my Black/Envy Packabe (made by Ju-Ju-Be) and be something I can carry everywhere. I can't wait!

Oh I almost forgot!

No more binkies! I took Addison's bink away last week to attempt the cold turkey removal ... and it worked! She was only taking it during naps and at night but we were having issues with her crying for it all day. After her nap on Thursday I put them in the closet and when she asked for it, I told her it was gone. She cried for awhile then got distracted. At bedtime when I walked her to the crib I reminded her it was gone and put her in bed. She cried and whined for about 15 minutes and was out like a light. Since then we've had 5-10 minutes of calling for mommy and bink before naps and bed and that's it. She doesn't ask for it during the day, she doesn't wake at night looking for it, and she is as pleasant as can be. Why didn't I do this earlier????

Ugh

We have mice. The little bastards are into everything. They even got into my cupboards and made themselves at home in my dishes. I am so grossed out I can hardly stand it. Of course we get them every year, a big downfall of living in rural Ohio. The big field behind our house doesn't help. We've planted traps, sealed up all the food and plugged all viewable holes with Steel Wool. Anyone else have any other suggestions for clearing them out? If so I'd love to hear them!

A little cell phone fun ....

As promised ...

Here is a pic of the new 'do. It's not just like the pic, and it's fantastically easy to style. I just wash, run some mousse in and go. It's messy and wild, just like me LOL.

The new color:

A fun Fall day ...

Yesterday the girls and I went to the local University my MIL works at to visit. They had a ball! All the students milling around campus were cracking up at their antics and so were we!

I post here ....

Do you?

Trick-or-Treat!
