Here she is!!!

Here are pictures of our yard!!! Finally!!! It has come in pretty well so far, but we have crab grass and a few bare spots. Our water has been shut off so we can no longer water until next year! Our front yard is quite a bit thinner and has more bare spots because we had to wait to plant until our fence was entirely moved. So next year we get to work on filling in the bare spots. I have to say it is so nice to have grass! It's so much nicer to look at and the best part is Bailey has a yard to play in now!!! Bailey is in a little co-op preschool and today was my day to teach. It was so nice to be able to send the kids outside for "recess"!!! We are loving our yard so far!!! We still have work to do, but the main part is done!!! Hallelujah!!!

Good Times!

This past Saturday, friends of ours hosted a Murder Mystery Dinner Party and these were our costumes! It was really fun! I had never been to one before. Bailey told me, "Mom, you look kinda like a witch!" I was a Mexican lady thrice widowed and in mourning. Spence was an orphaned, dishonest, cowboy! That night we had a babysitter coming to watch the kids, who Bailey loves and she was so excited to get us out the door! She always asks me if it's night time and when it is and I have to say yes she usually gets upset because she knows it closer to bedtime. So the evening we were getting ready for the Murder Mystery Dinner Party she asked if it was night time and I told her no it's evening time (so she wouldn't get upset) and she came back with, "Mom yes it is night time! You and Dad are going to dinner and Kendall (the babysitter) is coming to play with me!" I couldn't believe how anxious she was to see the babysitter and get us out the door! Funny girl! Bailey wanted to wear my hideous black wig! She was loving it!
Saturday night it started snowing and this is what we woke up to Sunday morning! What the heck! It's October 11 and already snowing! Having been born and raised in Arizona, sometimes I feel like we've entered the Twilight Zone with this weather! I know in AZ during October it's still pretty warm! In fact this week in AZ I hear it's supposed to cool down to 90! I was going to take pictures of our grass that has grown in, but I'll have to wait until the snow is done melting!
Above is our backyard and below is our front yard.
