I have tried for so long to get Morgan to eat strawberries (actually, any fruit other than apples, bananas, and watermelon)...and she finally tried them and LOVES them! I can even get her to dip a few in yogurt!

Strawberries
Of course, once I pulled out the camera - the attitude appeared, too! Oh well.

Salad Maker
Morgan helped make salad, and then to my surprise she just started eating the shredded carrots and just about everything else in there! 
Painting
Morgan's painting a pumpkin magnet for Daddy...it started out green. I thought she was really going to do a fantastic job. I praised her, of course, but then she added brown and pretty much took away any "prettiness" that could have been! Oh well, it kept her busy for a while and made her happy - that's all that mattered.
Music Makers
Kolton introduced Morgan to Wii Music, and she chose to be a cheerleader...she had so much fun with Bubby!
Off to the Zoo
While the kids were on Fall Break, we decided to take a trip up to the Nashville Zoo...and we chose a perfect day! It was gorgeous weather!
Here's Kaden helping Morgan get up on the hippo. He's such a good big brother, very attentive.
Kaden even took Morgan up through this...
Morgan loves to swing, though she kept asking to swing in the handicap swing.
All the monkeys - look, Mom's not behind the camera for once!
Morgan spotted Dad and got his attention.
Watching the monkeys was like watching the boys - one was constantly aggravating the other one (that was content by himself)! We could've stayed for hours watching them.
This elephant was chewing on a log, and Morgan kept asking to go over...she insisted the ellie was her friend.
Giraffes aren't as interesting as other kids.
Off for some vittles.
After eating we promised Morgan a ride on the carousel, which Kolton wanted to ride, too. It was so funny, he's so anti-affection in public...doesn't even want me to get near him. So as the line got longer and longer, I waited for my perfect moment. As Kolton came around again, I yelled out, "HI, KOLTY"!!! I think he and Jamie about died, but for different reasons - Jamie about busted a gut laughing. I heard another mom say, "he's thinking, aw Mom"! It was priceless.
Morgan's second ride...on an OKAPI.
Look what got caught in the Meerkat Manor!
Jamie's view as we were heading back towards the play area.
Morgan's not sure of the serpent...
Dad's turn.
Morgan finally mastered the shaky bridge, and then had to stay and play a while.
More swinging.
Morgan enjoyed a sno-cone as we left the zoo. She was so tired, once she passed this over to me she was asleep within seconds!

She saw Daddy on the other side, so she did finally go through.

Highlights
Kolton came home Saturday after his hair cut saying he was going to get highlights! He said that his dad said he could. So I just (in Overfield fashion) explained to Jamie that highlights can cost a lot and that I'd be willing to go get a box and do it at home...if Kolton agreed. Jamie jumped right on board. So this morning (the first day of Fall Break for the kids) I woke up ready for my first project...highlights. Not bad, if I do say so myself! What do you all think? Kolton LOVES his new hairstyle and color! Whew!
Before - bedhead
The cap
Beetlejuice hair!
Playing the waiting game with purple goop.
Alas...highlights (and a happy client)!

Kevin's Visit
Kevin was kind enough to take Jamie in as family while he was up in Ohio, and we were thrilled to have him down here for a visit...even if he was in town for work. We fixed a brisket and just gabbed, had a great time. Morgan was attached to him from the second he walked in the door! She wouldn't talk to my friend at lunch, but she was all over this guy! Hahaha! Kevin has two daughters of his own, so it was a very natural bond between these two. Come back again, Kevin, and bring the family next time.
** Towards the end of the visit, Kevin wrote his phone number on a piece of paper and gave it to Morgan. When Jamie walked by her room at bedtime, he caught a glimpse of her placing it underneath her pillow! How cute is that? Morgan has her first crush on a country boy!
