Just a Friday afternoon...

Reilly went on her first school field trip today. She went to Applecrest Farm to enjoy all the fun that they offer (great place!). She picked some apples and chose a cute little pumpkin. Carrying that little pumpkin around was very tiring for lil miss Reilly though and she's quite exhausted. She wanted to decorate it as soon as she got through the door though. She had a fun-filled day! Field trips ROCK!

Caragh loves to paint w/ these paint pens (best invention EVER!). Mess FREE!

Emmet~look at that face! He'll be 7 yrs old this winter!

Sisters

There's something about the time right after baths when the kids are clean, settled and quiet. Reilly, Caragh, a warm blanket, a Care Bears episode and ahhhh...all is well.
I thought this sight was pretty cute: Caragh fast asleep and the both of them wearing my t-shirts to bed. I just love little girls.
Check out the beautiful blanket that Erin made me for my birthday. We LOVE it! Thanks to you, my sis! xoxo



I just love this little chubby face! ♥

Now add up the total number of points.

Over 60 points: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care" You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 to 60 points: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 to 50 points: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 to 40 points: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest...Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 to 30 points: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

Under 21 points: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.


No apologies...these things are fun!
I scored a 36, how about you?

Apple Pie Time!

There's nothing like baking an apple pie w/ the kids this time of year. It's just seems extra special. Their excitement and the smell of apple pie in general seems like a tradition of mother and child(ren) that must go back to the pilgrim days.


Do you think the lil pilgrim children acted like Caragh? Maybe...
Did the pilgrim Moms use Pillsbury Pie Crusts and threaten to send their lil pilgrim children to their bunk every 5 minutes? Hmmmm???


Did the older pilgrim child take a bite of this special apple pie and tell her pilgrim mother, "this stinks!"? I wonder... ;)
