ISU Homecoming Parade 2012

It's that time of year again, school has started and football season is well under way and of course the girls dance studio participated in the parade. Emily and Abigail decided that they would ride the DSDS float and "throw" candy and Elizabeth decided that she would sit on the curb and watch all the floats go by and collect candy.

Look AT ME MOM!

About a week ago, I decided that we were having WAY TOO MANY battles over Elizabeth's long hair. It just wasn't worth the time, stress, tears, and daily conflict. So, Elizabeth and I went on a special date last Saturday to get her hair cut. She got about 5 inches cut off and what a relief it has been! She can brush her own hair, and I don't even have to touch it unless I am pulling it up in a pony tail for dance or putting a clip in for church. It fits her personality well and we are very happy with the results.
 Today is picture day and Abigail wanted me to get her picture before she even walked out the door. I still can't believe that she is old enough to be in 3rd grade. We are very proud of the little person that she is becoming. There is alot of personality in that little body of hers. What's really crazy is that I figured she would be starting high school the same year baby Carson starts kindergarten. Wow! That is not very far away at all.
 So, a couple of weeks ago I blogged about how Abigail had lost her tooth, well last week her other tooth came out, so she kind of resembles a rabbit with two big front teeth and nothing else on the sides. Grand Nan will be thrilled to check them out when she comes in about a week to help the family when I have the baby.

Baby Carson's Room

Today is a special day because it is September 1st and I have exactly ONE MONTH until I will be holding a new baby in my arms. Let the count down begin! It is also special because we finished Baby Carson's room today and I am feeling more ready to welcome him home. I am very pleased about how the room turned out. I think it's the cutest one so far. Maybe there is some truth to the saying that the youngest is the most spoiled. I hope he is an easy going, good baby, we need someone to come to our family that is mellow to tone down our very high energy girls. I can't wait to meet him.





The blocks say, "CARSON"
