Mah!

When Seraph was little, she noticed that everyone was giving her kisses and she wanted to give us kisses back.  She couldn't quite figure out how to do it. So, instead, she'd push her lips against your face while saying, "Mmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaah!"
Seraph has since learned how to make kissing sounds with just her lips.  So, she doesn't say it anymore.  However, it's become traditional in our family to say, "Mmmmmmmmaaaah!" (even without the kiss) as a loving greeting or  farewell.

"Love you, Mom, mmmmmmmmmmaaaaaah!"

"Goodnight, sweetie, mmmmmmmmmmaaaaah!"

"I'm going over to Jeff's house - mmmmmmmmmaaaaah!"

 "Have a good day at school!  Mmmmmmmaaaaah!"

"Missed you!  Mmmmmmaaaaaah!

:)

Happy First Day of Autumn!!

My lil Angel had a fantastic day.  We drove through heavy rain to the library.  The rain stopped just long enough for us to run in and grab our books.  We grabbed happy meals on the way home and then played til the school kids came home.
Watermelon for dinner plus way too many of Angel's favorite treats:  gummi bears with chocolate pudding and donut holes.  I forgot to break out the colored marshmallows, so maybe we'll do that today.
Thanks to everyone who called and sent cards for Angel's special day (that she doesn't have to share with Seraph like her birthday.)
--------------------------------
Angel: hey you, buzzy-bee fly!!  Hi-yah!!! [complete with karate chop]
-------------------------------
Finch: Hey, can I have it?
Mom: I dunno, that's Dad's.  You'll need to ask Daddy.
Finch: Oh, Daddy wants you to know that he wants me to have it.
Finch: [smiles sweetly with a "problem solved" look in her eyes]
----------------------------
Seraph: ssssSSSSSSsssssSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

Brrrrr.....break out the sweaters!

The kids worked hard on our Autumn wall. I love the way the colors turned out. Beautiful Rabbit caught Dad at the door and made him close his eyes. I caught his expression when he opened them and saw the Autumn wall. I'm glad he likes it cuz it's right next to his computer - hehe :)

Angel fell asleep under the table before we finished taping it up. I love this 'play til you drop' age :)

It's no Wonder that it's Autumn I Adore!

AUTUMN!!

Happy first day of Autumn ;)
