Oh Boy...or should I say girl!

Once again Camille has proved her femininity!
As you probably know Camille has a love for all things SHOES. She's constantly raiding our shoe basket. If you come over she will tell you you need to take your shoes off. (Not because she's worried about the carpet but because she wants to try on your shoes!)

We went to get her some new Sunday shoes and there was NOTHING her size. However, I found the clearance section where there were some cute little sandals for a dollar. Being the sucker that I am we got them. (Now, they will match at least one of Mil's Sunday dresses, so not totally frivolous, the only problem is there's snow on the ground:)

When we got home Camille was dying to wear her shoes. (She actually took her nap with them on).
I helped her get them on and she said, "Oh something is hurting."
My reply was, "Where is it hurting?"
"Right here," pointing to the strap.
"Oh, well let me fix that strap," I apparently need a lesson on using Velcro.
"No, it's okay if they are hurting. I can still wear them!" Spoken like a true women. Who hasn't sacrificed foot comfort for fashion?

It was BEAUTIFUL outside...

for a minute, so we went out to play. Camille wanted to play basketball. Yes, complete with crown and "pretty" shoes. (Hey some of the "great" NBA players dress up I.E. Dennis Rodman)

Hey is this rim regulation height?

Opps wardrobe malfunction.

Nattie enjoyed sitting on the lawn.

She tried eating grass,

leaves,

weeds,

and Big Bird.

oh a Dandelion...probably the last one of the season.

We will miss you warm weather!!!!

I wonder

Who came up with this chair:


It's works if you have a lot of kids or just really fat arms.

FHEeeeEeeee

For FHE Grandma Donna and Grandpa Ron hosted a Halloween party. Complete with gross things to eat, fun games, and pumpkin carving.Here we have an octopus, a snorkeler, a shark, and a little starfish.

For some reason we didn't think to snap a picture of Grandma and Grandpa. They looked good. We didn't get a picture of Ryan and Tara either but they're white trash! (Really they were white trash.)

We had a great dinner which included body parts!

Who doesn't like fingers and eyeballs?


Grandma keeping Natalie occupied while we were carving pumpkins.

Millie supervised Daddy, told him what to carve then ran off to play until the final product was ready.

Camille wanted Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. (Good choice because she is scary!)
Daddy was able to pull it off.

Nothing grosses me out like MICE....so I made my pumpkin super creepy!

Wanna go "camping"?

Brad and I have always enjoyed camping. It donned on us that last time we went camping was when I was pregnant with Camillie. Brad decided we were going to take the girls camping this weekend!

Yes, the tent is in our basement!

Setting up camp (I'm glad we had a tent because it was raining!)

Camille showing Dad EXACTLY where she wants her sleeping bag!

Testing it out....seems to be right!

Nattie J not sure exactly what this thing is.

Waa la the girls first camping trip! (Okay, so Natalie actually slept upstairs in her crib but the rest of us camped!)

I know you're wondering what you do when camping in the basement. Well, you watch Mulan and eat rice crispy treats (Gotta have marshmallows when camping) then turn in for the night!
