Thanksgiving 2010

Posted Wednesday, December 1st, 2010 by Mollie

This year’s Thanksgiving was not what we expected. With just hours to go until Thanksgiving dinner at the Satterburgs, we were hit with the stomach flu! Not the most fun way to spend a long weekend, but at least we can be thankful that we had those days free from our normal work and activities, and didn’t have to feel any guilt over laying around doing nothing.

We did start gearing up for the Christmas season, though. The kids and I went “shopping” in the hand-me-downs box in their closet, and found some great Christmas footie pajamas.

We also hauled out the Christmas decor and did a little decorating. I think this is the last year I will use my live tree. It’s grown a couple feet since last year and doesn’t seem too happy to still be living in a container!

These were two VERY excited tree trimmers. It still looks a little sparse, but Mommy the Head Decorator was starting to get sick and wasn’t feeling terrible motivated. Anyway, its hard enough to get them to leave those ornaments on the tree!

The tree inspired Natalie to dance, so she changed outfits (typical).

Underwood Farms

Posted Wednesday, November 17th, 2010 by Mollie

I keep forgetting to post these pictures of Ben’s first pony ride! One day Natalie was at a birthday party, so Benjamin and I headed over to Underwood Family Farms with my friend Olivia, and her daughter Grace. Underwood has a really fun setup with animals, rides, games, tractors, and giant fields full of pumpkins. Ben was really interested in the turkey (it was bigger than him).

Ben got to have his first pony ride! I wasn’t sure how he’d do… mostly because he sometimes decides to scream about strangers he doesn’t like. But he was way too pleased to notice any of that.

Grace and Ben:

I think this is the last post involving pumpkin patches…

Costume Time

Posted Sunday, November 14th, 2010 by Mollie

We didn’t do anything for Halloween, but Natalie did wear her favorite costume that day– and every other day in October. I let her pick her own costume, and believe me, it was a tough choice between Belle and Cinderella, but Belle was the winner (despite the fact that she’s never seen the movie). Here I have captured some classic Natalie poses:

Cupcakes & Friends

Posted Sunday, November 14th, 2010 by Mollie

One morning my friend Hannah and I got together and made about 150 mini cupcakes to serve at a party… with four kids running around, it only took us four hours! 😉 It was well worth the effort because the cupcakes were both cute and delicious. We served them at a fabulous Stella & Dot jewelry party that Hannah was hosting that night.

Hannah recently moved into her parents’ rental home, which was the site of many a sleepover back in high school. So when the party was over, OF COURSE we had to have another one with our circle of childhood friends, just for old time’s sake! Turns out the majority of us can still stay up talking till 2 AM, and haven’t lost our love of taking silly pictures and ordering pizza at midnight.

Love these girls… so glad we are still friends!

Hilarious

Gossip, Deception and Replica Watches, A measure of precaution cannot harm, obviously. The major use of compass is to demonstrate direction. Keep the watch away from magnets It is essential for an individual to realize that keeping a particular watch close to a magnet can easily influence the truth of the watch.replica watches Fake Rolex perfect watches Rolex Replica replica watches fake watches best replica watches best rolex replica Even a Watch does not only function for a necessity, it’s also properly used being a accessory which completes a complete outfit. The watch is most likely going to become imitation. Only as it is a bogus opinion, does not signify it needs to become a well-made one.

It’s a good thing we keep the camera handy so we can remember funny little moments like this. We were getting ready for church when Andy caught Ben “shaving” his face with my hair dryer.

Not so funny: in a 24 hour period, Ben broke my steam mop (so sad), brought me a dead bird that he found in the yard, and burned him self on the toaster. He keeps me on my toes.

Natalie wanted me to take her picture with the paper full of “N”‘s she wrote for Grandma. She said, “WAIT! Let me put my pen in my ear first!” I started to tell her that we do NOT put pens in our ears, then realized she was doing the same thing I always do with my pens.
