Halloween Fun

This year, the kids really enjoyed Halloween festivities. Joel dressed up as a "scary astronaut", and Nora was her version of Strawberry Shortcake (or, as she calls it "a Strawberry Girl"). We kicked things off by attending Lone Star church's Harvest Festival, where the kids were able to play games and have fun with friends. Then, we went trick-or-treating with our friends the Raineys and the Deerings. The kids had so much fun walking around the neighborhoods, collecting candy and just being silly!

No-Nap Nora

Okay, this entry is as much an update as it is a cry for help. As of late, Miss Sassypants has decided that she is too big for naps. Now, I LOVE my little girl, but 14 hours straight with her each day with no break is a little much...especially come evening when she is a total grouch! I am hoping that this is a phase, but as I have come to learn with Nora, if she has her mind set on something, it usually doesn't change. She's such a strong-willed little girl, which I know is a great quality if it is directed in the right way. Lord, help me pray for her correctly and direct her in the way you want her to go.
