We finally caught a break

Rain, Rain, go away so we can go back out and play.

The weather has been HORRIBLE here. It has rained almost everyday for about 2 or 3 weeks. The news last night stated that we have broke the record for being one of the top 10 years for the most rain ever. That is crazy. We are 2 feet above average for rain this year. There is flooding everywhere. The pond behind our backyard is just a few inches away from being inside our fence line on our property. We are TIRED of rain.

Wednesday we got a half day break from the rain, and the sun even came out. It was 65 degrees out. For two little girlies that love to play outside, we took advantage of the break and played in the yard for almost 2 hours. They loved it, and I loved the fussing break!




Oh, what fun it is to stand on top of a man hole! Notice Lexyn is just about to push Brittyn; she has gotten real good at pushing her off of whatever she wants on.



Gamma came over, and we sat on the driveway and read books.



Daddy even came home from work in time to play outside with us.

Brittyn, please excuse the runny nose, we can't seem to catch a break from that either.

Trick-or-Treat Tins

The girls got the cutest bucket to carry for Halloween. Jamie at Whimsy Tin to does a great job. She can paint any type of tin for any occasion you might want. We will be keeping our whimsy tins for years and years.










Lexyn didn't realize there was a handle on her bucket.

Brittyn decided it was fun to stand in her bucket

Thanks Jamie, we love our trick-or-treat candy buckets!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Today we met some friends from Clinton at the Shaefers and Collins Pumpkin Patch in Mayflower. It was a lot of fun, and nice to be able to hang out with old friends that have moved away. It was my first time to go to a pumpkin patch so it was a new experience for all of us. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was pretty and fun.... except for the fact that I had to limp around all day. Last night we took the girls to their Halloween festival at their therapy clinic. They enjoyed it because they knew the atmosphere, and saw their therapists but going into the festival I slipped off a step and rolled my foot. I was able to get up and walk it off long enough to be there but after I sat on the way home I could barely walk. My foot was swollen and purple immediately. We weren't sure if I sprained it real bad or broke some of the bones in my foot, but I just kept it elevated and on ice all night. It was pretty sore this morning but I was determined to hobble around long enough to go to the pumpkin patch no matter how many people told me I was crazy. The weather here was beautiful, 60 degrees with mild winds and my husband had finally decided to skip hunting this Saturday so that we could enjoy some family fun, I HAD to go!

We rode a hayride pulled by a tractor out to pick our own pumpkins. Then the girls enjoyed playing on the many playgrounds they had for kids, and seeing the animals. Lexyn still wasn't too sure about the animals but she didn't scream and cry like she has in the past. Hopefully she is starting to get use to them. The girls had so much fun they fell asleep on the way home within 5 minutes of leaving.

I think we will make this a fall family tradition.

Enjoy the million pictures I took today.

Twin Sissy Snuggles!

Afternoon snuggles in mommy's recliner while watching Barney. So fun to watch the bonding and interaction between twins.

Tutu Cute Again!

I know you already saw tutu pictures, but after nap time I was able to catch a few smiles. I love these tutu's. You need to head over to Liz's blog or her esty shop (thepainteddaisies.etsy.com) and check out what she has.

Thanks again Liz!

I love this interacting picture. They are always talking to each other.

Tutu Cute

My friend Liz, who also has twin girls, recently opened a store on etsy.com. thepainteddaisies.etsy.com
She makes tutu's and sells them. She made my girls the cutest black and pink tutu with a white flower. We got them in the mail today and had to try them on immediately. Of course the girls weren't cooperating for any real good pictures, but it was nap time. I was just too excited to wait til after nap time to try them on!

Thanks so much Liz, they are precious!
