What's a girl to wear?

Morgan has really been going through a difficult phase with clothes. She doesn't like ANYTHING, except maybe jammies...and even those she might change two or three times in a day. I am about ready to throw in the towel in this dressing game and settle for pj's everyday. However, Jamie has informed me that I cannot take Morgan to the gym in pj's because it's "ghetto"!! Ha-ha-ha! So I finally got Morgan's approval on these pants and then she found her fairy costume from last year and decided to accessorize. If this is fashion, I'm in trouble!

This is her posing for me:

Fun While Mom's Away

I checked our other camera (the one I left at home) to make sure I had updated the blog with everything and I found this footage...seems they had a little amusement while I was gone. Thanks Kolton for filming!

Brrrr, the beach!

We got to town Friday evening just as it started sprinkling...and we ended up having a couple of hours of downpour and lightning. We were going to start Friday night off with dinner out at The Melting Pot and we were within walking distance, but it was pouring so we drove. Just as we both reached for our door handles and slightly opened the doors a huge BOOM of thunder hit and we both slammed our doors shut, screamed and fell back into our seats laughing hysterically! Then we just kept feeding off each others laughing - it was so funny! We did make it indoors (after I hit about every puddle in the pavement there was) with soaking cold feet. They put us in the coldest corner they had, my feet were frozen by the time we left. The food was so good...but my stomach was upset (stupid nervous stomach) so I didn't get to eat as much as I'd have liked. Saturday we spent about 5 hours shopping. Then we went back to the room and Jeannie rested and I decided to pamper myself, so I walked over to Nail Spalon for a pedicure and manicure...aahhh, talk about being pampered! After two hours (yes two full hours of relaxation) we headed out to dinner at the Crab Trap. I tried crab legs for the first time and yummmmmy! The only downer was that I messed up several nails - oh well, the pampering was more important than those nicks! Then we headed back to the hotel for a night of cards...yes, that's how we enjoy our evening away from our kids - gin rummy and UNO!! Ha-ha-ha! Both Mom and Jamie mentioned we were "a ball of fun"! Jeannie won both. The cold front hit Destin sooner than originally expected and the high for Sunday was only supposed to be 44 (originally it was supposed to be 59), but I was still determined to get my feet on that beach! Jeannie took us over to Seaside where we walked through the shops and onto the beach. It was cold and windy, but so worth it. I got home around 10 PM last night. I had such a GREAT time with my sister, we're hoping to make girls getaway an annual event.

We didn't care how dorky we looked, we wanted to walk on the beach.

Jeannie was an excellent navigator, tour guide, and travel partner.

Dancing With Morgan

Morgan was dancing while watching Dancing With the Stars and I was able to capture some of it before she got too goofy!

Painting

Beginning of a tantrum

She was wanting to "Take a picture for you"...which means, she wants to take a picture OF me. Although, her aim is not very good. Next time, Morgan, next time.

Clean Linens Day

I went looking for Morgan and couldn't find her anywhere and I finally found her underneath that little table so I went running for the camera. When I got back, this is what I found...her taking advantage of Kaden's comforter being on the floor. I think she likes "sheets" day!!

Christmas Shopping

As I was dishing up dinner I heard, "I want that, I want that, I want that, I want that" and I realized Morgan had a Christmas catalog that came in the mail today. So I went running for the camera, but once I got it in hand she stopped pointing everything out! She's putting a tall order in this year, she wants a Jeep, a kitchen, a doctor's kit, legos, and everything she sees on TV!

Morgan's Christmas Photo Shoot

Morgan is quite the difficult child when it comes to professional photography, which is why I have not had the milestone pictures taken...too stressful. I knew going for Christmas pictures was going to be hairy, but it was something I had to do. There is an outfit change, which was a challenge in itself...but we survived. So please feel free to get a sneak peak at the outcome. If for some reason the link doesn't work and you want to see them, just send me a note and I'll pass the information along to you so you can access it.

Saturday Football

I have the most wonderful husband in the world. As he watches football he also entertains Morgan and allows me some freedom and quiet time to myself to scrapbook. I have finished about 3 pages and am just taking a brief break - I'm hoping to knock a few more pages out tonight. I have so much catching up to do! I did finish Jamie's Air Force album, but I had a starting and ending point...as you can see from the scrapbook below I have lots of unfinished scrapping!
