Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to ya'll! I've been looking forward to Halloween since August. Probably because that's when we got our costumes. I just couldn't pass up on the Cowboys and Indians theme. I wish they had something for Autumn but she does make a really cute pink bunny. 

Since Andrew was sick this year we decided a quick walk around the mall would be just about all he could take. (Our mall did a Halloween Trick-or-Treat where certain stores gave out candy to the kids. Sometimes I love our little town.)

All of us Trick-or-Treating at the Mall.

Ebby was scared at first but he got the hang of it really fast when he realized he got to keep the candy.

   

Autumn had a good time too. We let her chew on an Oreo candy and when we got home we realized she had actually opened it with her mouth. She was covered in cookie crumbs and loving every minute of it.

Monkey Drama

We've had a little drama at our house today. Well to be honest, we have drama at our house everyday but today it was centered around Ebby's monkey. Ebby's has been sleeping with his monkey friend for over a year now and he's grown quiet attached to it - when it's time to sleep. Otherwise he couldn't care less about it. That was until Autumn decided she liked him too. Whenever Autumn happens upon monkey she goes crazy. Hugging and kissing him like there's no tomorrow. I think it's really cute. Ebby doesn't agree with me. The evidence of this is in the first two videos.

But don't feel too bad for Autumn. She always manages to find monkey again.

All the same, maybe Santa should give a sweet little girl a monkey for Christmas.

Our new desk

So, it's finally done! For the past month or so we've been using a folding table as a computer desk for our computers. It's been awkward, uncomfortable and not to mention very ugly. (Our old desks were too big for the space.) I didn't really realize how expensive desks were until we moved. A new desk was definitely not an option let alone two. So, I decided to make one. Please keep in mind that before this project the most I worked with wood was to hammer a nail into a wall to hang a picture. It's definitely not perfect but it'll do. And it's way better than the folding table.

Oh, what a beautiful day!

We have a fence! I can't believe we have our very own backyard. It needs a lot of work but it's ours. Ever since Andrew and I got married we've been living in apartments, so this is a really big deal for us. It feels so nice to really have a home. Ebby already agrees.

Autumn's Hair

So, Autumn's hair has been getting a little weird lately. A tuft on top of her head never fell out like the rest of her hair. It was also curly, unlike her new hair. It was also really dark, unlike her new hair. I tried getting around this problem by pulling her hair up. It was cute while it lasted but eventually her cute bows would always end up on the floor. I just figured Ebby was pulling them out but yesterday I realized that it was Autumn who was tearing them out of her hair. I guess she really didn't like them and was too polite to tell me so. Typical Autumn.

Anyway, while I was cutting Ebby's hair this morning I decided to give Autumn a trim. That was the plan anyway. I think I cut too much off.

I'm actually really depressed about it. I miss the curls (what little curl she had). 

Now, be honest! Does my little girl look like a boy?
