Mmm, bigger appetite!

Morgan has actually been telling me she's hungry lately and surprising me by how much she will put down. I made homemade chicken noodle soup the other night and she ate two small bowls of the noodles! I think we're going through another growth spurt!

Santa at the Garden

Santa visited the Botanical Gardens for the walk through nights of the Galaxy of Lights. These were taken with the mobile, so they're not real clear, but it's better than nothing! Morgan went running to him and sat on his lap and even told him what she wanted for Christmas. We promised the boys they wouldn't have to participate this year.

But Santa wouldn't have it any other way! Kolton was walking out the door and Santa kept waving for him to come back! So the boys obliged...hahahaha!

All Worn Out

We've been home-bound so long that just going to the gym this morning tuckered Morgan out! We got home and she asked if she could sleep on the couch...poor girl.

Craziness

This is what happens when we're not looking...

My Name, My Name!

My best friend Name (aka: Renee') flew in on Friday for a long visit. We played Super Mario Brothers (the original NES game) on the Wii, Hand & Foot, Rummikub, and Guesstures while she was here. Sunday wasn't so fun, I ended up pretty much bed-ridden with a migraine - but it was AWESOME just having her here. It was so natural with her here, so we're hoping she'll come back again - soon. It's a shame this was the only picture that was taken during the visit...but oh well. At least we got this one! I was sad to see her go, but she did have her life to get back to. I will try not to be selfish of her! Morgan just loves her Aunt Name!

Pumpkin Carving

Jamie helped the kids carve pumpkins while I was out to coffee & shopping with a friend. I think they did a fantastic job!

Morgan & Dad's

So Sad...

Morgan has been coming in to bed with us for so many nights, I've lost count. We never had this issue with the boys, they always shared a room and had each other. I finally got fed up with being woken up (not to mention the ink incident), that I told Morgan that she was not allowed to sleep in my bed any longer. I put the child door lock on my bedroom door handle and this is what took place. Kolton found her sleeping outside my door. She's telling us that she has bad dreams and is scared in her room...I'm at a loss as to what to do. We've tried night lights, closet lights, bathroom lights, monster spray, etc...she told me she'd rather sleep on the floor by my room than in her bed.

Mushroom Head

Are there any words at all to describe this?

Artist on the horizon

I left her to her drawing while I fixed dinner. Just a week or so ago we got onto her for drawing all over her feet and hands...so we're constantly reminding her to draw on paper only. Shows how much she listens! This is not the first comforter/sheet set she's ruined, she did this to her Neopolitan set, too! Any suggestions on how to get purple ink off of a dry clean only comforter would be great!

Here she's trying to hide against Bubby Kaden so I won't take a picture, because she knows she was naughty. Rotten little girls! I think she's been more destructive than the boys were...sheesh!
