Cailin LOVES great grandma's kitty. Cailin just calls her "meow". (can you believe this is the shirt she wore on halloween last year?

Cailin LOVES to be just like Mommy and Daddy... She found my socks and put them on her feet... they were taller than knee-highs! We actually got a picture of her big smile!!! She is a very happy girl and SMILES all the time... until a camera comes out...

Cailin looks like a princess at Adrienne's wedding shower. She was watching the clouds in the sky.

Fashionably late

I realized that I have not posted pictures yet from Halloween. Cailin had a blast. She was a frog, or as she calls them, a BIBBIT! She loved being a bibbit. It took her 2 houses to catch on that when she knocked on a door, someone would open the door and put candy into her trick or treat bag. She didn't want anyone to help carry her bag, she didn't want anyone to carry her. She wanted to eat everything that night. (We are only 3-4 pieces shy of what we started with now). After we went trick or treating, we went to a safe kids fest put on by the fire and police departments. It was great. They had games, food, prizes. The games were fairly simple games. One was throw the ghost into the pumpkin. They took golf balls and covered with a white hankerchief. They had to stand on the appropriate line and throw them into a pumpkin bucket. Cailin took the ghosts one at a time, and walked up to the bucket and put the ghost in. NONE of the ghost stuck out of the pumpkin. she pushed it all down in there nice and need. Then she would walk back, get another, and do it again into the next buck, and the same for the third. Of course she won a prize for getting them all in. She got a temporary tattoo on her hand. She thought the first one was soo neat that she gave them her other hand for one as well.

Here are some pictures of my adorable little bibbit!

Oops, I did it again...

When I was working on my quilt, I decided to actually make sure my ribbon blocks were really squares. I might have shaved off just a touch on each one... Well, apparently that 'just a touch' was too much... I have enough room to add 5 more blocks on each side. My options are to either start from scratch and make 10 more blocks and NOT trim them and make sure they fit, or to make 5-20 more and just add that to what i have... It would mean more folds on the ribbon on one side of the quilt than on the first. Since I am trying so hard to finish this before I head out to FL and MD, I am opting for making only 15-20 more little blocks.

Today is the day...

Chris has the ONLY interview for a promotion! It is today at 10am Central time. PLEASE say a prayer for him. He has already talked to Dave, the guy that wants to hire him. This interview is with him and someone from HR. I think they are going to be negotiating pay. Chris thinks that they will be discussing pay. Chris says if he gets it, he would probably start on Dec 1... which is as soon as we get back from our trip... I am excited and nervous, and scared for him at this point in time!

My Tribute

To those who have served in our army, navy, air force and marines, THANK YOU! I do not care if you were on actived duty just during peace time, or if you served in a war; if you stayed here on US soil, or over seas. Regardless of where or when, you put my life before yours and I appreciate that. You are willing to sacrifice your life, and leave your families for periods of time to defend people whom you have never met. For that, I thank you! I am proud of each and every one of you and would love to shake your hand and tell you personally Thanks. You are not working in vane.

I'm a Quitter

I hate to say it, but I am going to stop my serious attempt on south Beach until I can do it more faithfully. With Holidays comming up, and traveling for 2 weeks, It is going to be UBER hard to say the least. I am going to start Right after Christmas. I am not saying that i am going to go all out and eat everything... I am going to eat in moderation and still kind of watch, but I will do this more faithfully come January 1.

Ewwww... Grosss
