That's right Alex, I'll take Stupid Mistakes for $20, please.

So Saturday morning, I wanted to have a few mommy minutes, can we say mani/pedi please? I told Wayne what I wanted to do, and apparently the curly haired diva was eavesdropping. She lets me know very quickly she is going with me. It wasn't quite what I had planned, but it was better. Seeing her sitting there in the massage chair getting absolutely giggly, because she is so ticklish and the chair was beating on her was my favorite, followed closely by how intently she watched the lady paint the polka dots on her nails.


So Saturday evening, we were party pooper parents and didn't take the girls trick or treating. Apparently, my lack of enthusiasm for this non holiday stems from a traumatic experience at a bowling alley and a scary mask. The girls played and Ellison really got in to it.... Wayne and I watched the Auburn game, Hadley cheered from the other room whenever she heard Wayne hollering because Auburn scored and Ellison went back and forth.



This is one of my favorites. Ellison is passing through and starts beating on the TV, Masoli you are going down!!!!!!

The girls did get to dress up again for our Fall get together at Church. Considering how warm it is, the Screaming Strawberry became the Adorable Auburn cheerleader. It was shortly before this picture was taken as I was hitting the snooze button from my nap, that I had a crazy realization about Ellison's birthday invitations which I had ordered, stuffed, addressed, stamped and mailing on Monday. I had put her birthdate on the invitations, instead of the actual date of her party. No time to reorder and have them mailed, so I had to pay quadruple the price. That's right Alex, I'll take Stupid Mistakes for $20, please..... What is $5 invitations for $20?

Fast forward to Monday and Hadley wakes up wailing about her hip that she popped the night before at Church, but didn't say anything about and is all congested. Not knowing if she is putting on about her hip or if she is actually hurt, she goes on to school and Wayne checks on her throughout the day. She apparently had a rough time with it and wasn't able to sit criss cross apple sauce. She got up this morning and was doing a little better and she went on to school. Around 10:00 I get a text message from Ellison's daycare she is spewing. I'm thinking it is from all the congestion, which just isn't clearing up. I check on her throughout the day and they said she is just ill. I call Wayne and tell him if Hads is still hurting, we are taking them together, because I'm not going two days in a row. Are you following? We take them both to the doctor, Hadley has an ear infection and fluid on the other one (didn't see that one coming) and he puts Els on breathing treatments again. For Hadley's hip he orders an Xray and off we go. On the way to the Xray place, Hadley asks me if she can have a treat if she is good during it. I let her know for an Xray there really isn't anything to it, she just lays there, she says "yes that's right, but if I"m good, can I have a treat?" Honey we will see. She does great, asks a bunch of questions, totally curious. They come back and let me know the doctor has reviewed them and doesn't see anything of any concern, but the pediatrician will call me and discuss with me. That's right Alex, I'll take Xrays for $100..... What is $1 pack of Hershey Kisses worth to a 5 year old
