Cool Weather

well, the weather is changing. we had some hail and snow recently, but i hear this week is supposed to warm up again. i love the fall weather. i like layering clothes. emmy likes to wear tights, but we've been having a hard time so far finding them in the stores. i told her that she can't wear dresses outside until we get her some tights. she's really upset because she just loves to wear dresses. she has some really cute pants, but i guess she is just too particular in her style to want to wear them. i have no idea where she gets that from. maybe from her daddy. wink! anyway, i do love the autumntime. i like halloween and i love thanksgiving. i think that we might go to two thanksgiving meals. my family has one around lunchtime and derek's family has one around dinnertime. oh yeah! double shot! we'll see if it works out. maybe we'll just choose one or the other. let's see, which family do we like better? ha ha!

this year for halloween i think that i will be a bumblebee. all i need is a big yellow sweatshirt. i could make a tunic out of fleece if i wanted, but it would just be easier to find a sweatshirt and cut the sleeves off. the dollar store has wings, so that part is easy. i better buy them now before they all get sold out. emmy wants to be tinkerbell. she needs wings, too. i think we'll make andrew a turtle. that shouldn't be too hard. i've recruited my sister rachel's help. she's good at drawing stuff. she can make the turtle pattern on the fabric. anyway, i may post pictures on here of the costumes. we'll see.

I hope you post pictures. Can't wait. Oh, and thanks for your help on our costumes. You're the best Karate Kid and fabric consultant.

I just found tights for Taygan at Walmart. Hopefully you'll find some too so Emmy can wear what she wants.

Fall is my all time FAVORITE time of the year. I vote for Marti and Charlie's house for thanksgiving if Aaron and I are able to come.But the reality is that we will probably not be able to get down there. :( Sad days.

crystal, that would be great if you came!

greenolive: every walmart can order whatever they want. my walmart here just hadn't ordered them yet. hopefully they will soon.

they ALMOST ALWAYS have tights on sale at Gap for Kids or Old Navy. Most of the time I have found them the same price or cheaper than Target. good luck... so, if you're the bumble bee, what is derek? or do i even want to know?
