Is it too early...?

This year, I decided that Megan needed her own Christmas tree in her room. So, we did a little shopping today and couldn't wait to put it up. She had so much fun decorating the tree. Maybe this will help me get in the Christmas spirit. With the 80 degree weekends, it's hard to be in the Christmas spirit.

After we set up Meg's new tree, I wrapped the gifts that I have so far. So, now I have wrapped Christmas presents with no big tree to put them under. This will all be changed tomorrow though - I've talked Jarrad into getting the tree down for me on Sunday! Christmas spirit, here I come.

Jarrad: We don't say shit, do we?

Meg: No, we say Oh My Gosh.

Me: We don't say stupid, do we?

Meg: No, we say Oh My Gosh.

Me: We don't say bitch, do we?

Meg: No....yes, we say bitch.

Lesson learned...don't encourage my daughter to be cute. Her answer to everything is usually, we don't say [insert any word here], we say Oh My Gosh.

Wordless Wednesday

Always believe your children...

Tonight, on the way home from swimming lessons, Meg told me that she needed to throw up. The conversation went something like this...

Meg: My tummy hurts.
Me: What's wrong?
Meg: I'm going to throw up
Me: Can you wait until we get home?
Meg: Yes.
Me: OK.

Fast forward to the minute we arrive home...

Meg: My tummy still hurts. (as she's holding her hands over her mouth)
Me: Do you need to throw up?
Meg: Yes.

Turns out, she wasn't fibbing. Apparently, she drank a lot of water tonight at swimming. On top of her tummy bothering her at school today, I guess the pool water did her in.

She's now curled up on the couch with her daddy drinking some Gatorade. She's had a bath, so I hope that she'll be better in the morning.

Trick or Treat

Last night, we went over to the Sandlin's to go trick or treating. We figured Meg would have more fun if she got to go with a friend this year. This was the first year that she didn't see ANY of her grandparents on Halloween - honestly, I'm not sure that she missed them (sorry Meme & Poppy). Below are pictures from the evening. The kids had so much fun!
