OOPS!

As I was writing about my precious boy's bday, I realized that I never posted about my sweet Macy's birthday in September.  Macy turned 3 on September 4th.  She is a little one with a huge personality!  She has a flair for the dramatic and loves to act out the scene in Cinderella where the step sisters rip her dress and she has a million dramatic/ humorous facial expressions to go along with her dramatic scenes.  She still hates to sleep and will stay up late in her room reading and singing!  She is the artist of the family, and will literally spend hours coloring and drawing.  Since the first time we put a pencil in her hand she has had a knack for art and amazes me with her fine motor skills.  She can write her name, and 'mommy' and colors beautiful pictures.  She loves to go to the mall and point out 'her' store (Macy's).  Here are a few pictures from her birthday...

BIRTHDAY TIME!

We just celebrated Brennan's 6th birthday yesterday and I am having a hard time believing that he is 6!  What a joy he is!  The list of wonderful things about Brennan goes on and on...his huge heart, his optimistic attitude, his inquisitive mind, his love for God's creation.  We ae truly blessed with Brennan!  He makes each day more wonderful!!!
Brennan's birthday started with an early soccer game - (he scored a goal!), brunch with his team after the game (at the playground- which to him seamed like a bday party, even though it was just an end of the season party), and an afternoon of playing football and eating cake.  It was a super day!

New Ideas??

So, I found this really great idea on Pinterest for organizing all of the girls headbands.  You take an old oatmeal container and cover it to make it cute and voila, you have the perfect place to store all of your headbands.  So, as soon as our oatmeal was gone, the old container became our new headband holder.  I did not aspire for mine to be super cute like the one on pinterest, I just aspired for all of the headbands to be off the floor!!  I did cover mine with cute paper...but the truth be told, it was just a plain oatmeal container for a while before I got around to putting a little paper on it.  I was quite proud of this new little organization piece...but then, Brennan came up with a new way to store all of the headbands.  And now...I am just not sure which to use!
