Before I get started, here are some sayings I don't want to forget......

Darci -
Says "Oh my goodness!" all the time now
She said, "I learned that from TB (TV)" last month
She is always asking me to paint her "fingertales and her tales"
In the van the other day, Darci told me that she was going to get married when she went to college and then she was going to go to preschool.
Darci has a great memory, I told her she could go to preschool when she was 3 and she yelled out, "in January!"

Paige -
Last night I heard her yell, "Mom!!! Darci turned the light on and now she's leading the band!!" Darci was sitting up pretending to lead music to an invisible band.

With the puppies, she said, "Oh, I found the butt, these little holes are the butt."

We were driving around and he pointed at the lights up at Tad's mine and asked if that was the United States. I said, no that is Safford, a city in the United States. And the United States is a country on Earth, just like Brazil, Canada, India, China..... then Paige said, "Oh, China doesn't have any more money... " I said, where did you hear that? She said, "Daddy says that".

Kevin -
The other day, I said no when Kevin asked if he could have a shave ice. He said, (very seriously) "I'm going to call 911 and tell them I don't want you as mommy".


Here are some more pictures of the girls haircuts. I've really been happy with them.




Darci is still falling asleep in the hall........



Halloween craft fun.... this one turned out really cute, and all the kids got to draw them in. Derek actually drew his own faces. I'm sure if you look closely you can figure out who did what. These will go outside when I decide where to put them.






Not Halloween, but this is a FHE sign that I made.



Exploring....









My little plot of garden is growing SO many tomatoes and Okra. Luckily everyone here loves tomatoes and fried Okra.



Over Labor Day weekend, I took a trip to Texas for Tad's brother Ryan's wedding. This involved 6 or 7 adults and 3 kids in a 15 passenger van for 15 hrs each way. I sat near the back most of the time and am still feeling a bit carsick from it. But overall, it was fun. Tad wasn't able to go because he was working. And thank you to our friends and my mom who helped out with babysitting some crazy kids for 4 or 5 days!
