Sorry

I have a ton of pictures to put up. We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday(the good one too, the one we went to with Eva's classed Suh-hucked!) Anyway it was awesome a gorgeous day and I took a ton of pics. Then we carved them on Sunday...I have all those pics too. I also have a few cute pics of the girls and some of Elle trying green beans for the first time(that was today). But I'm so tired, so very, very tired. I feel like I'm going to vomit and die from a massive migraine at any moment...maybe even now...now...ok maybe it's my imagination but whatever, I'm tired. And I'm secretly stressed over my midterm that was take home(I voted for in class but, I got out voted b/c none of the other a-holes in my class have children...to me 18 and completely naive of all adult responsibility again) and is due on Thursday night. You see I really only have today(didn't do it) and tomorrow to work on it. Wednesday as we all know is All Hallows Eve(aka Halloween) and I have to:
1. Calm Eva down
2. Get all the ingredients to Pea Soup together for out annual potluck dinner at the community room.
3. Get Eva ready for the downtown trick or treating in the afternoon
4. Get Elle ready for the downtown trick or treating in the afternoon.
5. Come home finish the soup and make sure Eva does not ruin her costume while we wait for 5pm
6. Make sure while we are at the potluck Eva does not ruin her costume.
7. Be at the church at 6:30pm to open the library and get a mic for the Trunk or Treat parade of costumes(that's right I'm asst. to the ward librarian, holla)(did you get the office reference?)
8.Participate in trunk or treat and decide if we're going to to more afterwards.
invisible #'s-----decorate trunk of car, buy candy for car and trick or treaters, decide if I want to buy cute decorations from Jo-Ann's for potluck, feed girls, bathe girls, feed them again, get Eva off my back about when she can put her costume on-----

So you can see I'm not really going to have time to work on my midterm on Wednesday PLUS I'm not going to be home for most of the day on Thursday before my midterm so I really I have no choice but to do it all tomorrow. Luckily there's nothing on TV on Tuesdays. If anyone can pull it off, it's me. I'm that good.

In conclusion, I'm tired, midterm due on Thursday night, Halloween is coming and it's going to be insane but I really want to enjoy it so I vow to get my midterm done tomorrow. And I also have another midterm due Friday night at midnight.
And for any girls out there who are thinking about getting married and having kids and haven't completed their education...complete your education before you have kids...it's not fair to you or your kids to do homework around them. I can not wait for December when I don't have to do this and I can just be with my girls.
Oh yes, and I'm not putting any pics with this...ok maybe just a couple...nevermind, I tried it and it's not working...maybe tomorrow I'll take a break and put some up.

Fall Fun!!

Eva was my little model today. I told her to work for me she had to make sure that she was really engulfing herself in "having fun". She had to look like just and average 3 year old "playing" in the fall leafs. She did a pretty good job but she may need to really hone in on her acting skills, she might need professional acting lessons.


















I don't know? Do you think she was enjoying herself?
































This was funny, she said,
"Mom take a picture of this one, it's dorky."


















Beautiful.
























Awesome effect, right?!




Eva decided to put a pile of leaves in the middle of the sidewalk, I wasn't sure why until I saw the final project...


























WOO HOO!!! To be three again.

Another..

I'm just flying through these because it's so much fun to play with, baby Elle all in pink with her gorgeous baby blues.

I learned something new...

Now I am a triple threat...look how multi-talented I am!! That's right and, I will be charging $$ because it was very time consuming and my shoulder kind of hurts...plus I did it as fast as I could, I would obviously do a much better job for people that would pay me.

I've been wanting to learn this technique for-ev-er and now I know how to do it, yay me!

Now I just need to get through this semester at school so I can start actively seeking out opportunities.

Gifts from Ma

The girls got a package from Ma this weekend and they were both equally excited. I know it's hard to believe but when I walked in the door(from getting the mail) I said, "Girls, you got a package in the mail." They were both sitting on the couch and looked over and were BOTH looking at my hands longingly. Don't believe me? Well, I got picture's because I swear Elle knew exactly what I was saying, she knew she got something in the mail! Look at her face!!





Man she wanted that package bad!








OK, Eva's making that face because she didn't think I should give Elle the rattle with it in the package still. I was trying to get this cute picture of Elle just staring at it and I finally yelled at Eva telling her to just give it to her!



That's the face I got.












What else, what else?? Look at her eyes! Hilarious that she's just like a kid...well at least looks like a kid who knows that there are goodies for her in that box!







Guess Eva was right.











Hmm, not for children over 3 yrs of age....hear that Eva? This is my toy.











Ok, seriously, how do you get this out?












LOVES the, "I love you" bug.










Can you tell?










Too cute!








Thanks Ma! We loved getting the package and the girls had a great time going through all of it. And by "the girls" I mean all of the girls! ;)

Elle's First Solid Food

I was going to wait till Elle was 6 months to start feeding her solids but she just looks at our food so longingly I decided, what the heck, she's ready.

So on Saturday we got Eva's old booster chair out of the closet, set it up and, thanks to Stacey my neighbor we have a huge supply of rice cereal, I mixed some of it up and we took a mass amount of pictures....well Jeremy took a mass amount of pictures. Believe it or not I deleted a lot of them, these are the cream of the crop. p.s. she was also officially 5 months on Saturday, so these are also her 5 month old pics.



Hey, what's going on? Why's the camera out? What's in there? What's that? Who are you people and where is my real family?(ok I made the last one up.)






First Official Bite!


What the heck?! I'm getting some of that stuff you guys are always stuffing in your faces? What's this? Do I like it? I can't decide.










Hmmm, interesting...seems ok.












Yeah, that feels pretty good on the...what's the word? Oh yes, gums, feels good on the gums.










I should probably try it again, this is my first time.






Again. Just for quality assurance purposes.


Umm, yeah. I like it, in fact I love it, I can't get enough.

I'm the coolest baby ever! I am so good at this eating thing. Do other baby's know about this?
Faster mom! Pile it in!
DAD! Not while I'm eating, please...are you trying to make me choke?!
Almost gone?! No way! Already?!
So good. No wonder you guys are always scarfing down something. I think I like this whole food thing. Although mom makes some pretty great milk. Luckily I can have my milk and eat rice too!
Good thing I didn't have to wait another month for this...this is the life. You guys think 4lbs. in one month is a lot, just wait, I bet I can gain 6lbs with this stuff on the menu.
