New Coat

Here is a little fashion show for your Sunday enjoyment. Part of the loot we scored at Target yesterday, a new coat for Nate, some 2T pants(which have us nervous about how soon he will 3T for the length.), and some 2T shirts for fall. Here is Nate modeling his new 3 in1 coat.

Coat 1 - heavy winter coat

Coat2- fleece lined jacket

Coat 3- fleece jacket

Saw your McBurger today

We went on a road trip today... to Target! Two hours there... two hours back. Nate watched Toy Story, I finished a quilt binding and Dave drove through 200 miles of this. WIDE OPEN NOTHING!

Except for when we drove through "the cheeseburger capital of Texas" and " the beef capital of the world" Then we stared mouths open, even though we have passed them dozens of times before. Sad Sad Sad.

McMath Moment of the week

Brought to you today by summer, sweet corn, and Nathan trying desperatly not to drop the ear in the trash can.

In the garden of...1612B

This year our backyard is keeping us busy.  We ripped up a plot in the back to plant a few things.  We put in 8 tomato plants....




2 cherry tomato plants.....



 


There are 20 cucumber plants.  We are hoping to can LOTS of pickles!

 

 







We put in 1 cantaloupe plant, and one watermelon plant......










And we have 8 green pepper plants!!  We are very excited!

Our front yard has lots to water too!  

Our hostas are way larger than they were last year, and they seem to be handling the heat better, although something has been nibbling on them!







Be sure to check out the new movies if you have time :)





 

Thanksgiving!

We had a really wonderful Thanksgiving this year.  The visit with The Maddison Family made it an extra special holiday for us. 

Evan is so fun and adorable.

I think Nathan and Evan will grow up to be good friends. 

waiting for..... Dave, Autumn, new TV shows

I sure have been busy.  Keeping up with Nate all day everyday is a task i tell you!  I've always appreciated the help Dave gives me everyday.  And I can hardly wait until he is back and we can be a team again.  I know Dave is really missing Nathan.  The little squirt is changing everyday.  He is fun and happy and sneaky and still wont speak to me in English!  I know he understands me.

Dave and I are really excited about the new fall season of TV shows.  I know this sounds silly. But we were so out of touch for all those years, it is nice to be starting with everyone else. 

I made Chicken noodle soup today for dinner, and I made extra to freeze.  It makes me happy, like fall is going to be here soon, and I am ready!  Hahah
