SAMPLES of our LIFE: Country GIRLS can Survive!

We had another fabulous weekend. Saturday we went to Noah's 5th birthday party! He had a HUGE water slide which was loads of fun! We always love going to Tipton County for a good ole visit with our friends. I talked to the girls on the way and explained to them how I grew up "in the country". :) While at the party, Maylee ran up to me and said, "Mama, I am going to be fine on this slide because COUNTRY GIRLS CAN SURVIVE!" :) Of course, I was speechless. It was a gorgeous day for Noah's awesome birthday celebration.

Sunday after church, the girls and I went shopping for Halloween costumes. We were walking through a store when all of sudden I heard little gasps and squeals. They had spotted "pop up pets" or aka "happy nappers". This is a version of a pillow pet, but it has a house. They have been talking about these things for months, but they are just now in stores. Well I could not pass up the excitement and thrill in their eyes (sucker...). We left with 3 Lady Bug Happy Nappers. I was wondering if that meant the girls would go home and take a nap! I wish I would have had my video camera to catch their expressions. At one point, Emma said, "I just cannot believe it." Maylee said, " I cannot get this happy off of my face!". Becca was so excited that she was the one to figure out how to get the pet out of the house that she was shaking! :) It was priceless. After all the stuffed animal excitement, we did manage to find some super cute costumes for our upcoming fall events.

We hope you all have a fantastic week. :)

Birthday Boy - all grown up! :)

The Girls taking a break from sliding! I think Becca was upset about not holding the Sprite. She smiled after the picture when she was holding the can. :)
