Kitchen, Swings and Ballerinas!!

Grandma and Grandpa T gave Bell a beautiful kitchen (and lots of things to go in it!!) for her 4th birthday - THANKS Grandma and Grandpa - we love it!!!!

Lina making birthday cake............ with morning hair!!

The first morning it was put together, Bell and Lina came tight out and played with it in their jammies!! Made me breakfast, if only it were real :)

Toast and tea!!

We just got a new (new to us, pre-loved) swingset for the yard!! I have been looking on Craigslist for a great deal on one, because we have wanted one for the girls, but could not swing a new one now. I saw an add for this one with no pictures and no price. So I e-mailed the woman and she said "come get it, it is free, my kids have outgrown it"!! So Don and Austin trailered it home and after a few new bolts and one new piece of wood, the girls are loving it!! Daddy rocks, he missed part of his football game to finish putting it together!!

BTW, GO SAINTS 8 and 0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It even has a glider and a set of rings that can go where one of the swings is.

My cuties!! Beautiful November day we were out in short sleeves, love it!!

Notice that the leaves still need to be done!! Today I blew leaves while the girls played and this weekend will be the big leaf cleanup!! Both neighbors on the sides of us started putting up Christmas lights this weekend (not on, just up). I guess you do it early up here cause it gets cold!! We still need to go through the basement and dig our stuff out, guess we will be out in the freezing cold Thanksgiving weekend doing ours:)

We live in Ballerina outfits around here these days!! Today they were ballerina princesses and were so very adorable I had to snap this picture!!
