Homemade Halloween Decorations!

Look what Ella and I did this afternoon during Cooper's nap! The scarecrow she made at school, but the pumpkins and bats we did today! I found the pages of eyes, noses and mouths online and printed them out. We used construction paper to make the pumpkins,and cut out the faces and glued them on. So fun!

My Sister's Bachelorette Party!

On Saturday we celebrated Leah's Bachelorette Party! It was a BLAST!!

We started off the night at Pole-La-Teaz-where we did a 2 hour pole dancing/lap dance workshop! Let me just tell you, this was a RIOT and was a total blast! We had the best time, and laughed our heads off :) Check out their website for info. on classes! It's so much fun, and also a great workout! Come on, you know you want to try it...you'll love it I promise...It's all in good fun!! ;) Here is a small sampling-but not even the tip of the iceberg...hahaha

"Enchanted" at The Fox

Today Ella and I went with my sister Kelly to see "Enchanted" at The Fox theater in downtown Atlanta. It was so fun! I highly recommend seeing a movie at The Fox-such a fun experience!! Kelly has a checklist of things she wants to do in Atlanta in 2008, so we thought we would help her with one thing off her checklist. Of course we had to do it up right since it was a checklist item after all, so we got Diet Cokes, Popcorn and Milk Duds :) Here are a couple of pictures that I stole from her blog since I totally forgot my camera.

Do You Read My Blog?

If so, will you post a comment and let me know??

Come on lurkers....come on out!!

I have seen other people do this on their blog, and I thought I would give it a try :)

Beautiful Day!!!

Wow! It was a BEAUTIFUL day today here in the ATL!! :) (Do you like my street lingo? Thought so...)

After naps this afternoon, we headed to the playground for two hours and soaked up the beautiful sunshine and cool breeze. We had a big play on the playground, and took a walk around the park. It was SOOOO nice! I would show you pictures of our outdoor fun, but alas, I didn't have my camera.

It was nice to see Ella running around and having fun after a winter of sickness and being cooped up!!

YAYYYYY Spring!!

A Sickie, Some Snow and a Couple O'Cuties

Sorry I have been MIA! Ella has been down for the count with Strep Throat (poor baby) since Saturday night-which means today was the first day we left the house since Monday, which also means my brain has turned to mush. ;) This morning my sweet husband stayed home with the kids for an hour before work while I went to the gym. He knows just what a need after being couped up! :) Ella is feeling much better now, after 48 hours of antibiotics, and was cleared to start back to her normal activities today. Here is a picture of her the other day watching a movie on our bed. :) You have to admit-there's nothing like a good pair of shoes to make you feel better!


Today was Ella and Cooper's FIRST Georgia SNOW!!!! Ella was SO excited when she looked out the window and saw it snowing! It started around 5:00 p.m., and here it is still snowing! The grass has about 1/2 inch so far, and it is starting to collect on the streets. Of course, we bundled right up and headed on out to snap some pictures. Here are a few pics! It's the best I could do holding a bundled up baby. :)






And finally-saving the best for last-here are a couple o'cuties :)
