Scrapping the Music - Just a Girl

Loved this challenge. Loved this picture. Such an amazing love to see between a great-great grandmother and her grandaughter. After my two boys and my sister's first, Sadie Belle was ecstatic to finally have a girl, and named a bit after her, to boot ;)

Scrapping the Music - India Arie "Video" challenge

I'm lovin' what I see. :) Forgive the glare from the flash, please.

haircuts and rock candy

took a little drive to Forbus General Store in Pall Mall, TN. rock candy...insanity on a wooden stick.

mommy and daddy got amaretto swirl fudge...mmm.

and i finally got their hair cut. si's "stylist" got a lil' scissor happy, but he looks adorable. eli told his stylist he wanted just a little taken off b/c he likes to twirl his curls. sweetness. and yes, silas is licking icing off of his home depot saw. safety first, though. alway wear safety goggles when licking icing from a saw. that's my boy!

this one was "clicked" by eli @ Jazz on the Lawn - Beachaven Winery this Summer. ;)

TRICK OR TREAT

TRICK OR TREATING was so much fun! Silas really enjoyed it this year, and wasn't scared of the spookiness of some of the houses like he was last year. He insisted on wearing a dracula cape w/ his ghost costume, and Eli got lots of compliments on his aquarium costume :)
