Naomi singing with Youth Choir in Church

I'm not sure how else to do this, but click on the title of this post to see the youtube video of Naomi singing in church last week. She was so cute!

Lipstick and Laminate!

My day was just one of those days that your child gets into everything. I have been working on things for our ladies meeting tomorrow night and was not paying attention to what Abigail was doing. I should have known something was wrong when she was quiet ;) She had gotten into my purse and found my lipstick. She had to pick the one lipstick that I use the most. She must have the same taste in lip color as I do!
Then I went to town to get my hard work on my extra large candy bars laminated. I went to the teacher store I always go to. They were still out of laminate. I thought that by now she would have had some. It has been over a month. She can't get it right now since the hurricane in TX. The lady there told me of another store in town by Auto Zone that had advertised laminating. I could try there since I needed it right away. I went right down the road and stopped at the store. It was a very scary place. When I walked in I was the only white person in a dark room with women on large flat screen computers lined on both sides of the room and a rough looking black man at the front counter that didn't seem to work there. It reeked of smoke and the women all looked like they were either telemarketers or playing games. It was really weird. Finally a women came to help me and she had piercings all in her face and said that they were out of laminate as well. What was funny, I didn't see a laminating machine anywhere, or copier or anything. It was supposed to be some kind of business store. It really scared me! I also heard that Office Max laminated. WELL!!!!!! They were out too!!!!!!!!! But they charged $4 a foot so I would not have done it there even if they had it. It is only $1 a for at the teacher store!!!! So needless to say I had to put them up without the protection of laminate. When I got home I was trying to get something for the girls to eat before soccer since my chicken wasn't done and I took my eyes off Abigail for one second and she got a paint pen off the table and was painting her lips white!!! AHHHHHHH! You would think she would taste it and realize something wasn't right. Well, gotta go do more deco for tomorrow!

Who did we support?

While watching the TV coverage on the elections the girls got up on the coffee table and started chanting "John McCain!"

New Kind of Baby Carrier

My girls are so innovative. Chey had her old backpack out and Abigail climbed into it. She was content, so Chey put a pillow behind her head and made her comfortable. She even took her into Walmart like this. Hey! I didn't have to fight with her as much, having to carry her and such.

This morning she wanted to get in the new carrier again. This time with the message neck pillow. She walked around with it on for about an hour.

The other day, the girls went out for their bug hunt. They were all bundled up. :-)

Bug Hunter

PRAISE THE LORD, Marigrace is home and doing well. She came home Monday. I'm sure she feels much better being at home. I forgot to Praise the Lord in my last post. Thank you for your prayers for her.

Yesterday, Naomi wanted to go outside and find ladybugs and lizards. She is my bug hunter! She had a bug barn earlier in the summer but our dog Wally got a hold of it and put a hole in the net. It is just big enough for her bugs and small lizards to get out. We tried to find another one but they are out of season I guess. I told her I would make her one from the plastic canvas I had. I whipped this little bug barn up last night and when she got up this morning she was very happy but not so happy she couldn't go out to find bugs to put in it. It is very cold this morning.

Sunday was Rebecca's birthday and Jen's was last week. We celebrated at Mom and Ron's house. Dad was in PA with grandma. Her 80th birthday was the 11th. I hate that we didn't get to go up there for it. I'm glad I got to talk with her though. She is in a nursing home and doesn't have a phone in her room. Happy Birthday Rebecca, Jen and Grandma!

Sunday afternoon, we had Fall festival for our church kids. Abigail fell asleep on the 2 mile trip to the fellowship building. She slept hard for about 20 minutes. Ted tried to wake her by picking up her legs and pick on her but she would not wake up. She finally woke up with all the noise I guess.Emily, my niece, Naomi, and Abigail pose at the background Mrs. Janet, Kristi, Pam and Kelly decorated. They did a great job. Naomi

Beware any boys that might want to mess with my child. Her Daddy is teaching her how to shoot and hunt. Who knows, maybe she will be the next Sarah Palin ;)

I took Blake and Dillon to the fall festival because Michelle and Marigrace were still at the hospital.

I had to get their picture before I took them to their Paw Paw's house. They were going to church with them that night so they couldn't get their heads sprayed or face painted. They were to busy for that anyway.

At church, Chey sang with their new group, Growing In Grace. Yes, Brandon's face was painted like batman from the fall festival. ;)

I know this is out of order, but I thought it was cute and just an add on. Saturday night, Chey and Naomi spent the night at Mom's with Emily. Abigail would not leave me alone to fix something to eat. Ken put her in her chair and wrapped her up. She looked all cozy.

Little Fallen Angels, and Fall Festival

Friday, I went shopping and went to a store that had this cow out front. The horns were on the cow but I think it was more appropriate on the girls. :)

VERY APPROPRIATE!Naomi wanted to take her worm and a pillow to make her more comfortable in the car and I pulled this massage pillow out of the closet for her. She got so comfortable you can see what happened. She slept for an hour with the neck pillow vibrating.

Saturday, Cheyenne's game was at 9:00 and Naomi's was at 11:00 and both Ken and I couldn't go to both. So Ken took Chey and visited his bus route and then went back to the game. I went on visitation and then took Naomi and Brooke to the game.

Naomi is just like her Daddy. She has a very short attention span. If you look in the background in the pic you will see Naomi playing with her hands or something. At one time she was on the wrong side of the field singing and swinging her arms Deep and Wide. So her Daddy!

When we got back to bus church we had the fall festival.

Emily could not get the apple so we just pulled it out. She tried.

Cute kitty cats.

The kids had a great time. When we got home Naomi and Abigail were playing outside. My little bug lover found some ladybugs and was showing her sister.

Abigail was so interested in them too. One was red and one was yellow.

Abigail also gets her style from her Daddy. :) Ha! She at least had shoes on.
