silly conversations

Last night, on our way to Hayley's dance class. Hayley and I have a funny conversation.

Hayley, "Mama, what are we doing tomorrow?"

Me, "Hayley, I don't know what we are going to do tomorrow."

Hayley, "Can you think?"

Me, "Hayley, I am driving right now!"

Hayley, "But Mama, can't you think and drive?"

needless to say...I started cracking up laughing. She was so serious!! Our day is still up in the air!

What a beautiful day...............

I always enjoy Thursdays (probably because it is my day off!!)..but today is an especially nice day because the weather is so beautiful. Although I love the summer months, Fall is my favorite time of the year. Crisp days and evenings, apples, pumpkins, mums...the list just goes on and on. The kids & I have already been out this morning...took the dogs to the groomers and then back to the house for breakfast (chocolate chip cookie dough Pop Tarts are what the kids wanted this morning!)...have some things to do around the house and then off to meet others in the playgroup at The Explore 'N More Museum in Gettysburg. On Monday, was Hayley & Brayden's first day of preschool. Hayley of course was an old pro since this is her third year. Brayden on the other hand...wasn't too sure about it! He thought Nanny & I were going to stay in the room with him and was not too happy when we did not. Ms. Marsha told me that he kept telling the teacher, "I want outta here!!"...well, he made it to 10:00 but there were plenty of tears shed as did most of the other kids. Hopefully he adjusts soon and starts having fun! Here are a few pics of there first day.

Have a great day!!! It's a beautiful one!

Hayley & her beloved Rosie dolls (9 months old)



Here you are at 5!!! You are growing up so fast!
We all love you very much!!
Happy Birthday Hay Hay!!

My baby is going to be 5!!!

On Sunday we had Hayley's 5th Birthday party! She was so excited and asked me every half hour when people were going to show up. Around 1PM friends & family started trickling in for some good food and conversation. Hayley had a great time playing with her cousin and friends...almost so much that she forgot she had a mountain of presents to open. Her weekend started on Saturday with a shopping trip with Pappy Dave...she came home with a bunch of stuff (She isn't spoiled at all!!!) We sang Happy Birthday and then she began opening, opening, and opening...she received a lot of nice things.Her birthday is September 17th, which happens to also be my aunt and uncle's 25th wedding anniversary and Scott's cousin's birthday. She is just growing up way to fast!
