So excited!

I am so excited for Christmas! Usually it sort of jumps up out of nowhere, but this year I'm eagerly anticipating the arrival. Maybe it's because Parker talks about it nonstop, or possibly because WalMart was playing Christmas music the day after Halloween. Who knows, but I am positively about to burst waiting to get out all the decorations! There have been so many cute craft ideas in blogland this week. I need to run to Hobby Lobby as fast as possible and pick up every crafty supply they have. Well, maybe not, but I am seriously giving it some thought! Just A Girl is having an "I can make that" party where different bloggers send in ideas for homemade gifts. While I have no original ideas , I am happy to copy some of theirs. And there are some CUTE ones! Definitely go check it out!

Look what I found...

in my bed this morning! When I got out of the shower, there laid my sweet Parker. I of course had to grab the camera to catch the moment. It only lasted for a second, then he was off! He was not this still again all day. Sigh...

Miss Poppy

Friday night Brynn was asked to be a "Miss Poppy" for the Loganville American Legion Anniversary Dinner. Her job was to sell poppies for donations to be given to veterans. She and six other girls dressed in red and wore crowns and sashes. They walked from table to table with their baskets of poppies and collected money. As you can imagine, they pulled in quite a bit! They were all so adorable and as sweet as can be. We are so glad Brynn had the opportunity to participate in this. She was excited to have collected so much money to help out the "soldiers". It was a great lesson learned about the generosity of others. What a terrific evening!

Introducing Miss Finky Hunkiedoodle...

This is Brynn's new "character". And yes, she named her all by herself. She wears my sunglasses and is quite the Southern Belle. Drawl and everything. Okay, this is seriously the cutest thing ever. Well, I may be a bit partial, but I'm just sayin... HI.LAR.I.OUS! Really...

Voting Day

This morning Greg got up super early and went to vote. He got there at like 5:30 or something crazy like that. He was home by 7:30 though, so that was a plus. Oh, and he brought home some yummy breakfast. Gotta love that guy! I decided I would take Brynn with me so we could use the voting process to teach a lesson later in the day. We left at a much more reasonable time(9:30) and it only took us 10 minutes! Now, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I'm hoping people were just going to go after work or possibly had voted early. No matter where you stand on this election, you really need to make your voice heard.

On a different note, I took some pictres of the kids outside today. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow. I'm new at this blog thing remember, and I'm not sure I can figure this out. Wish me luck!
