Is this a sign of things to come?!?!

You've got to check out this little video that I got of Eli and Daniel today. He came over to play and it was beautiful enough outside that we could swing and slide on the playset and also cruise around in the jeep. When they started drivng around, I thought I would just get a cute little clip of them driving each other. I never thought that it would turn out to be such a catastrophe. As you can tell, at the end, I thought it was hilarious. After I stopped the camera, they soon made up and Daniel became the passenger. I was able to get a cute pic of them, too! Enjoy...

We are Jack-o-lanterns...BOO, BOO, BOO!!

This is our jack-o-lantern that Eli and Jonathon carved for us. We decided to go with a happy face.

Another Fun Weekend in Tiger Town

Last weekend we headed over to Clemson to watch the Tigers play football. Unfortunately, they didn't win, but we definitely had a great time visiting with our friends. Here are some cute pics from the day.

We're Going for a Superhero Theme...

No Princess costumes for us on Halloween...It seems that Elizabeth Grace likes the superheroes.
Last year she dressed up as Wonder Woman and she was adorable!
As you can see she is dying to be a pink power ranger. Isn't this the best outfit...plastic mask and all?!?! I hope she'll be able to breathe through it long enough to go trick-or-treating!

The Great Pumpkin Patch

Eli and her class got to visit the pumpkin patch this week. She was so excited! After reading "The Littlest Pumpkin" the other night she felt so sorry for the little pumpkin and was looking forward to choosing a really tiny pumpkin to bring home with her.

"On Top of Spaghetti..."

Yesterday was my 31st birthday. I had a pretty good day. I guess at this point birthdays just aren't as exciting as they used to be. I remember when I was a little girl I could hardly sleep the night before my birthday, anticipating all the gifts I would get to open! Well, I still like to open gifts,but the not sleeping part is definitely over.

Last night, Jonathon's mom made dinner and also a very special cake.

No, it's not really a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. It's actually cupcakes that she decorated with icing, strawberry jam, and chocolate balls to look like spaghetti and meatballs. The parmesan cheese is shaved white chocolate. Isn't that neat?

Eli helped her make it and she was very proud of herself!

Charleston

Our horse, "Scout."
Eli really enjoyed the horse drawn carriage. She was especially excited about getting a chance to "drive" the horse. She did a fantastic job "driving" us around historic Charleston!

Last weekend we (along with my wonderful Mother who took care of Eli while we were there) packed up and headed to Charleston. Jonathon's good friend from the Citadel got married, so we decided to make a mini-vacation out of it. We had a great time. As you can see from the pics, Elizabeth Grace's favorite part was going on the carriage ride. Our driver let her help him with the reins and that just thrilled her! She can't wait to go back and drive "Scout" again.
