Halloween

Halloween this year Mars bars went as a Paper Doll (which I think turned out pretty darn cute.)Green Bean was a ghost. ( learned the hard way that black sharpie does not dry to duct tape and smudges and gets on everything else, so we just went with gray.)
Bailey wanted to be an evil scientist. (so she could rat her hair like crazy.)
Cal went with a last minute decision of 50s girl. ( the skirt should look familiar to some.)
Here is a shot of Greenlei and myself in the car while the others ran up to a door.
Here is everyone else pushing through the extreme wind to get up to a house.( a really gorgeous, big house.)
So, we had a lot of fun I think. Bailey didnt want to do the trunk or treat thing, so we just went door to door around our hood and the next hood over. ( the weller off people hood.) Heres the deal though; Halloween around here kinda really stinks, heres why:

a. The weather sucks! Some years there is snow, last year it rained, this year- riddikulus winds.

2. Houses are not generally close together.

3. Horribly long driveways are very common.

4. There needs to be some kind of dang universal signal that you are home and have candy, and another for not home, dont have candy, or just want to be left alone!( Cause if I run up your long dang driveway with a 3 year old who's paper dress is blowing away, someone better be giving up some kind of dang treat!)

So I think from now on we will be sticking to trunk or treats in our snow boots and such instead of the door to door, but we really did have fun despite the above list. Probably because Marlee laughed the whole sprint up every driveway, and was so excited and always came back and told the adult who stayed in the car with Greenlei that they gave her candy (like she was still in shock that it was happening.)

KId news.

Not much news with Bailey, she is just back to flirting with boys at school. There boy that sits next to her named Creed says that he loves her and wants to marry her.
Here is my lame attempt at that adorable picture on pinterest. Greenlei is still cute though.

Callie broke the school record for the girls her age in the pull -yourself- up -until -your -chin -is -over -the -bar- and- hold -it thing! she got like 1 min and 6 seconds (I think).
This girl Is trying to take Callies record for worst 3 year-old fit. the last couple of weeks we have had a few melt downs. One of them was in a store as we were in the checkout line she decided she wanted to be in a cart, I of course said no because we were leaving, so she was screaming and bawling right there in the store and i had to drag her out screaming. so Embarrassing, but not quite as bad as last week. We went to pick the girls up from school and when we got there, she wouldnt get out of the car and go get them with me. after arguing I just locked her in the car and left her. ( dont worry, I could see the car from where I had to go.) When I got back with the girls a few mins later, she was off the charts mad. She was screaming at me that she wanted to go with me. I told he she should have come when I asked her to then, now get in your seat, we are leaving. She started screaming that she wasnt going with me, and jumped out of the car. She took off running across the grass towards the school. Of course i was wearing wedges, so had to run after her in wedges, while laughing because of how redic she was acting. Anyways, lots of people around, really embarrassing. She screamed half the way home, fell asleep, and woke up happy and smiley. Weird. It probably was worse than any of Callies fits, I probably just handle it better. Good Times!

5 Months

K, so I know that this pic is blurry and I cut of her chin, but i just love it she is so sweet and gorgeous!
This is what happens when you let Callie feed Green Bean. We have been trying to feed her rice cereal for probably 4 weeks now, and she's just not into it yet, when you stick it in her mouth she looks so disgusted and it just comes right back out.
Last week she started sitting up! So funny how if she is in a bad mood and I try to lay her down, she screams her head off, but if I sit her down she is totally fine.
My little buddha baby! Not sure what she weighs right now, at her 4 mo. checkup she was 14lbs
She also started babbling dadada last week! So cute! she has been so sweet and good lately. Her 2 bottom teeth that she has been trying to get for like 2 and 1/2 months still haven't come in, but they don't seem to be bothering her as much lately. She still drools like crazy though.

First Day of School!

Today the big girls started school. We recently moved, so they are at a new school. Luckily for Callie she has 1 friend that moved out here previously. Not so lucky for Bay, she didnt know anyone. They have been excited for school. Bailey was so excited this morning she could hawrdly (said with the Bailey accent) contain herself. She was talking non-stop this morning until she left. 4th Grade 1st Grade They both had a good first day, Callie says she has a great teacher, Bailey said she didnt get her name crossed off the board!

As for me, I am glad the girls are back in school and liking it, but, now there is no one around that can watch the baby for a second well I do whatever. Little miss Marlee cannot be trusted in the room alone with my little Green Bean seeing as how she occasionally does things like throw her shoes at the babys head. The older ones being gone also means that I am the only one around to go the the proms and parties that Mars and her imaginary friends, Katie and Daycie, are always throwing. Thats ok, we will have some good times!

My Girls!

These make me Laugh every time!

4 Months

Our little Green Bean is 4 months old today! Here are a few pics from the last few weeks. She has been such a sweet little girly. probably our easiest. this top picture is just a couple of hours ago she rolled all the way over for the first time from back to tummy! I made her a little friendship anklet at the fam reunion last weekend. It was so cute on her, but her little cankles are so thick that it just slips right off her foot .
Isnt she so cute?
WAAA!

So tired!

She got interested in her thumb while we were in sac visiting Gram Julie, oddly though she hasnt been very interested in it since we got back home.
This was just before her first swim in the pool.

Porter Park

So, there has been a mountian lion on the loose in our new town, so me and the ladies went to the next town and played at the spray park. Here is Marlee upon arrival, lookin good in her shades!right after we got there we spotted one of Callies BFFs So we didnt see to much of her for the rest of the time.You cant tell but they are up there in the middle in line.Bailey going down the slide, I really like this shot!this was all marlee would do in the water. she was not as into it as I thought she would be, would only get her feet wet.I brought a bounder along and Greenlei had a nice nap in the shade. I was really impressed though the park not only has lots of big trees, but also quite a few big umbrellas, so there was always plenty of shade near all the action.We had to of course play on the playground too, Marlee was a lot more into this. Here is Bay being a monkey.
And then there was the Carousel. Marlee kept asking if we could "swing on the horses".this was when the ride was stopped she loved it, but wouldnt let me let go of her while the ride was going.
Baileys horse, Cal rode once, but was off with her friend the 2 times I took pictures.
I spent like 10 bucks on Carousel rides today, But anyways, it was fun, good to get out of the house!
