A "Pooh and Friends" Halloween!

We had so much fun on Halloween! It was Marlee's first time to get dressed up in her costume. Even though we didn't take her trick-or-treating, we did go up to our church for Pumpkin Fest, then we went over to our good friend's house (Mike and Jenn Riese) for some yummy chili, and of course more pictures! A month or two ago, Jenn and I were at a consignment sale and while looking through costumes, came up with the funny idea of dressing up Parker, Marlee, Courtney, and Luke in costumes that go together. We thought of the Winnie the Pooh theme and went from there! Parker was Winnie the Pooh, Marlee was his Hunny Pot, Courtney was Piglet, Luke was Tigger, and Abbey (the dog) was Eeyore! All of the babies were so cute and even wore their costumes well! We are already thinking about next year's theme! Any ideas?
I hope you enjoy all of the pictures!

A Crafty Idea

Now that I'm a stay at home mom, I'm always trying to figure out ways to save money and earn money. My good friend Jennifer Riese and I have come up with an idea to earn some money. We're calling them "Parlee Pockets"-a shoe organizer that has decorative pockets that can be used to store various items. The Parlee Pockets will be made in different themes and would make a great baby shower or birthday gift for someone! For more information on pricing or if you are interested, send an email to: parleepockets@yahoo.com . Below is the first Parlee Pocket we made!

The Cutest Cousins

Two to three days a week, Marlee's cousin Courtney gets to come over and play! I have the awesome privilege of watching Courtney during the week for James and Audrey while they work! It has been so fun for me to watch the two girls begin to recognize and interact with each other. When Courtney first started coming over in June, the girls did not interact with each other at all! Over the last few weeks, they smile at each other, giggle, and play! Well, actually, their version of playing consists of taking away whatever toy the other one is playing with! I am so excited that Marlee and Courtney are getting to grow up together. My hope and prayer is that they will not only be close cousins, but also close friends!

Fun times at the pumpkin patch

Today Marlee and I met Aunt Jenn, Parker, Aunt Shawna, and Luke at the Due West Methodist pumpkin patch! While it wasn't a true pumpkin patch, there were still lots of pumpkins to see and take pictures around (our real reason for going)! The babies did great and we had a fun time. Of course towards the end of the visit, Marlee and Luke started to get a little fussy, so that was our sign to pack up and head to lunch-yummy Steak and Shake!
I am so lucky to have good friends that are also stay at home moms. We get together weekly and have a fun time with our babies, sharing stories and encouraging each other!
