New Table!

A few weeks back, we got a new table for our back porch!  I found it on our local buy, sell, trade page online, but it just happened to belong to our next door neighbor.  Easy move!  It is kind of large for the space and may, at some point, move to the front yard to be enjoyed while the girls fish and catch craw dads in our currently dried up creek.  But for now we've decided to try it out on the back porch and were able to have fun eating at eat it twice before it got too cold.
On this particular day, Joel came home from work with pizza, sweet tea, and even flowers!  Not sure what got into him, but it sure made for a quick, easy, delicious (though definitely not healthy) meal!
But our newest addition to our home is not actually this table, it's our beautiful Christmas tree!  We got it yesterday, and the girls and I - actually just Lydia and I...much easier when Anna Kate is asleep! - have got it decorated.  We've also been working on the whole house.  It's fun to decorate a new space!  And with five Christmas bins, there is plenty to go around!  :)

Kitchen Progress!

Here's a super blurry before picture....
to compare to this!  I am loving the transformation!  Not sure why there's a missing drawer, but I couldn't wait any longer to share.  It has been a very dusty mess.  Yesterday I had to wash every dish, pot and pan that were in those cabinets.  We're not even half way finished, so lots more dust to come!  
Now I'm feeling inspired to go sew the curtain for the pantry door.  It's been on my to do list for months, so it's probably about time I get to it!

Halloween Costumes!

Thought I better squeeze these Halloween pictures in before it's Christmas time!


I like this one because Anna Kate is squished down like a little dwarf. 






Snow White and her prince.
The whole gang.
Happy Halloween! :)

Pumpkin Dresses!

These are my current favorite dresses!
Aren't they beautiful?!
They made me late to church yet again.  Just too cute to skip a quick photo shoot.
Thanks, Aunt Terry!!!
