Halloween 2008

Thank you Charlie for hosting such an amazing party!

I'd be happy to add your pics to this slideshow, just send them my way!

What time is it?

Hey there ladies, Several of you have mentioned the possiblity of starting @ 12:00 vs. 11:30. Would that fit all nap schedules better? Tate isn't really on a consistant nap time yet, but is on the same wake time - go figure. Any way, comment here and let everyone know. My only vote would be that if we say 12, it doesn't really become 12:30 :)

Plastic Gerber Containers and The GAP

Save your Gerber plastic containers if you don't mind. My mother-in-law would like to use them for her classroom. Also for those of you that weren't there, you can enter your munchkin into the casting call for the GAP at www.gap.com/castingcall. Thanks for Tania for the info.

Earth's Best and Consignment Tomorrow!

Friend of mine reminded me that John's Creek UMC is having a consignment sale. I think I sent out the link a while back, but now can't find it and don't see info on their website, but she said it was from 8 - 12 and then later in the day, so thought I might head over before play group. Also, Target has Earth's Best stage 1 on sale for .49. I also had coupons, but haven't really bought much food, so not sure if that is a good savings or not. it was .05 cheaper than usual and then I had buy 10 get $1 off, so it ended up about 0.38 each. See you all in the a.m.

To try to simplify our lives, everyone that cooks with the crock, pull together your favorites, and share. Either post as a comment here or email to me, Amber, and I'll compile them :)

Full House!

Minus Chloe A. being sick, the group was in full swing. We had a visitor too, Miss Killian Grace and her mom Caroline. She is just 10 weeks old and loving her time with her mommy on maternity leave. It was great to see the babies starting to realize that one another exist. Mackenzie stole the show with her love of the jumperoo. So much so that she couldn't even part with it when nap time came! Mackenzie asked me to post, "Daddy, I really love Tate's jumperoo, can I have one too?

She's Up! - - - - - - - She's Out!

More playdate pics: Sorry Chloe, Collin, and Charlie (our three C's of the day) I missed out on getting your pics!

Playgroup Monday Aug. 11th

Another week has passed with another great playgroup to break up the day and allow us to socialize with grown-ups. Thanks so much to Patti for hosting, lunch was great! I snapped a few quick pictures (not the greatest). Matney had "tons of fun" doing some tummy time and practicing her new skill -- sitting unassisted (sometimes followed by a face-plant but sitting is hard work :). Mackenzie has become quite a rollie-pollie and enjoyed rolling around the floor. It's going to be quite funny when they're all doing that. Chloe A., while not crawling yet, showed off her sitting, scooting, and rolling skills. She also demonstrated quite a knack for demolition with the towers her mom created. Chloe H. was her usual sweet self and even seemed to like the tummy time she was doing. Michael, who I missed with the camera, was hilarious in a Jumperoo and looked like he may touch the ceiling before it got raised enough to stop the madness. We missed everyone who wasn't there :( (although I think Michael enjoyed being the lone guy with all the ladies :). See everyone next week!
