Happy Turkey Day!

Gracie sings this song & I thought it's perfect for today.

"I thank God for this day for some time to play outside for the birds and the trees, for His love that's deep & wide, for the air that I breath for my friends & family, that's why I say thanks everyday. Because a thankful heart is a happy heart, I'm glad for what I have, that's an easy way to start. For the love that He shares as He listens to my prayers, That's why I say thanks every day."
Veggie Tales :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

Some Random Photos...

If they made this in my size I would totally wear it!

Lounging...Funny thing, she put these chairs together & did this on her own.


She still loves to play in the kitchen sink.

Silly face...

Loves makeup!

and Shelby & Monkey

One morning at 7am, was randomly inspired to stick her chef hat on & go sliding!

Loves to read...

Another silly trick, taking out the sink & getting inside. No bubbles in this one!

Gracie & Jack ~ they have a few things in common, one is being nudy!

Are those the cutest tooshies, or is that wrong? :)

I heart this dress!

And I double heart these legs! I love to squish & bite them! So cute.

First paint job! Not bad!


My sweet princess

Second paint job in action! Jen, I know you're freaking out at this! Did she drop the bottle? Is she gonna get it on the sofa? The carpet?

See? She's showing you what a perfect, clean job she's done! And take a look at those toes, poor baby, this was during the summer, I can't keep shoes on the girl & she scuffed them up a few times pretty bad. But she's got pretty toenails!


Jen, are you sitting down, girl? Take a valume. This is how the Field house rolls, the messier the better, I admit sometimes I'm a little too relaxed but just take a look at the play by play...:)


LOL


aaah yaaa...spaghetti & pudding ~ mama rocks!

One happy (messy) girl! (see Jen, try it!) hehe

Endeavour...Gracie's 1st shuttle launch

I had no idea a 2.5 year old would be so impacted by a space shuttle launch. Granted, we did get to see it live in our back yard! First the trees had a bright orange glow & then the rocket peered up over them, (looking like the last photo) zooming up high in the sky! Gracie yelled "look, the space shuttle!" She was wide eyed and so excited. We watched it until it looked like a star in the sky and ever since she's been asking about it "where'd space shuttle go?" "I don't see the space shuttle, mommy!" "Up high in the sky?!" Today she was even talking to the neighborhood kids & adults, pointing up in the sky, asking if they see the space shuttle. So I turned on the TV today to see if I could find the astronauts in space because she was relentless about them. Sure enough we found them, she was delighted. I also went online to find her photos and this is what I found. So she was very happy to be able to look at them!

Halloween Celebrations...

The Great Pumpkin Patch ~ had to accessorize with her "Minnie shoes"

These are mama's favorite ~ She was super charged this day, here she is taking a break to giggle & laugh between running through the pumpkin isles


Sarah & Gracie


Coloring pumpkins

Carving pumpkins - daddy's very serious

Eating pumpkins? Eeeww. Yucky!

Digging the guts out...squishy!

All done

This is a Gracie pumpkin with her hand prints cut out on each side..."oh no!" Her famous expression.

Oh what a sight! She ran outside after a bath to check out the "fire" in the pumpkins!

And of course dressing up our toes for every occasion! Black Sparkle was the choice for this year.

It's Minnie Mouse, waiting for the arrival of her play group for their Halloween Party!

We made Cat Cookies!

and Marshmallow Ghosts!

Goodie bags!

Witches' Brew!

Grotesque fingers!

A Pumpkin hunt!

I found one!

Imagine trying to get ten 2 year olds to stand in one spot for a photo! Where's Gracie?

Oh, of course, there she is! Poor Mickey, look at his face. Minnie's having a melt down AGAIN? This time you lost your ears! "It's not hormones, it's allergies!"

Trick-or-Treating through the hood

"I don't mind if I do, lady." Gracie walked right in a few people's doors after they opened them. This one she helped herself to the lady's candy bowl.

Not one "Trick or Treat", Not one "thank you", no "good bye", just looked down into her bucket and said "open it mommy" as soon as she got a new piece of candy.
