Hannah's new room

Hannah has a new room - again.  This time she is downstairs where the new family room was.

Here is a view of her room from the family room.  Isn't her new bedspread cute?

We are planning on getting a dresser eventually for her and it will go right in that corner

Right now there's only an open closet.  Again, we're waiting till we have more money to put up a closet door.  But at least she has a closet

Here's the view from the corner where the dresser is going to go looking back into the family room

Birthday pictures

Would you like to see some birthday pictures?  O.k, here you are.  First, the girls had a combined birthday party at the end of October. They each got to invite their best friend for a sleepover.

This is Hannah with her friend Gabie

Shannon with her friend Sophia and Morgan with her friend Liz

Then we had to find room on our living room floor for all of them to sleep. Why the living room you ask.  Well, because I am impatient and when I decide I want something done I want it done RIGHT NOW.  Unfortunately, that "something" was the room downstairs for Hannah. And I didn't think about the birthday sleepover that was coming up. With all the construction going on down there the kids couldn't sleep in their room.  And since I had moved the furniture that was downstairs that had to be upstairs in the computer room after the room was completed there was no room in the computer room where I still had Hannah crammed.  So, living room floor it was.

But, I digress....

Shannon opening her new camera

And a set of text messengers from Morgan because apparently being able to talk to each other wasn't enough.  So now they sit in front of each other and text back and forth.  Beats me

Morgan with her new butterfly chair

New books from her dad that she wanted 

And the new Taylor Swift cd from Shannon that she was sure she would die without.

Hannah's new sheets to go with her new comforter

And a new I-dog so she doesn't actually have to put earphones in to listen to her mp3

Then, on Hannah's actual birthday Cerah made her this cake

Blow harder!

The end for now.  Tomorrow I will put up pictures of their birthdays at Ray and Berna's and a picture of Morgan's birthday cake from today.

Happy Halloween

O.k, so I know it's a few days late but I'll say it anyway.  I'll even add some pictures for you.  Enjoy

We finally got around to carving a pumpkin.   On Halloween day

Two want to show off the grossness.  One can't figure out what it is

I also decided we should decorate the inside of the house.   On Halloween afternoon

Then I made everyone a happy halloween dinner

This was one bad skeleton

See his mom up there yelling at him?

Halloween costume #1.  Can you guess who he is?

Apparently WHAT he is, is in love with my pumpkin.  Strange kid

Halloween costume #2.  Now can you guess who they were?

I won't even make you guess on these costumes.  They were all greek goddesses

Cerah was Artemis, goddess of the hunt and the moon

Morgan was Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy

Shannon was Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty

And this was my little candy corn witch

Here I made them take a picture with this guy.  I thought it was funny

So did my girls.  They all have a good sense of humor

Then I made them act like they liked each other for a minute.  It was hard
