Busy, busy, busy

Life lately has been super busy!! I feel as though the weeks are just flying by and can't believe that in about 6 weeks we will have another little one in our family. AHH!!! There is WAY to much to do and not enough time before this little girl arrives. We haven't even had time to start thinking of a name. (In all reality, we just pretend like I'm not pregnant and when she gets here, life will really get crazy!) First off, Geoff went out of town about 2 weeks ago for 4 days. The girls really hate it when he leaves, so they thought that it would be nice to write him a note so he could remember them. (They thought of this all on their own! SO cute!)

 Macie's is first and it says: "I will miss you and hope you have fun. Love, Macie"
Addie's is next and it says: "I love you. I hope you have a good time. Love, Addie"  Seriously...so thoughtful! I told Geoff that if I was going out of town and they did this for me I would have cried.

Next, I decided to start up the vinyl business again!! Why you ask?? I don't know.... There seems to be a real interest in it down here and I have the machine, so why not try and see if we can make a little extra side money with it. At this point (because the machine and everything is paid for,) everything is profit, so why not?!  So...I have been doing orders here and there for people that I know and then I decided to sign up for 3-4 craft fairs in the next few weeks. It has given me something to do while Camden naps, but has also made life super busy....as in, every spare second that I have, I am making vinyl signs. It has been fun though. I just hope that it pays off and that they sell at the craft fairs. Here is a look at the office where the vinyl has exploded.....

 Signs ready to be taped and cut.

 Little pieces to signs that need to be put together and on wood.

We have also been decorating the house for Halloween/Fall. It has actually cooled down a little bit this year- into the high 80's-  to where it is actually feeling like fall. It is soooo nice. (Last year it was in the hundreds still until the middle of October...as in, it never felt like fall!)  So the girls and I have been busy decorating and doing crafts. Here is a picture of our staircase. The girls made the spooky ghosts hanging from the lights and they love the Halloween orange lights that they get to plug in.

 Then I made some vinyl spiders to go up the staircase. It is so fun. Macie's comment on the house decor "Our house is so spooky nobody is going to want to come over because it is too scary!"

 The spiders!

The girls have been busy in school. Addie started a different preschool this past week. The other one was to much and scheduling was a pain with Camden's naps, so I finally found what I was looking for and switched her over!! I am soooooo glad that I did. It has made a big difference and we are all so much happier. She goes everyday now from 8:15-11:45. It is so great. We also started them in dance/tumbling classes. Addie is taking a ballet and tap class and Macie is taking a tumbling and cheer leading class. They love them! We don't know what we were thinking signing Macie up for this class, but it is the one she wanted and now all we hear are the cheers she is learning. We also signed them up for swimming lessons, so life is getting pretty crazy. The kids are growing and getting so big.
This week, Macie lost 2 teeth (within a 24 hour period!!!) One was on bottom and one was on top!  Every time she smiles, all Geoff and I can do is laugh! It just looks so funny. She also now has a little lisp when she talks. I have even caught her a few times looking in the mirror with this huge grin just checking it all out. The tooth fairy both nights gave her $0.36.  

For documentation purposes...the story behind the tooth losing:  We were at the gym and had just got done swimming. We were changing because Macie's tumbling class was starting in about 10 minutes. I had brought her a snack, a piece of licorice. She was eating it and all of a sudden the bottom tooth came flying out onto the ground. It was pretty funny. She was bleeding like crazy and was just as shocked as we were. The top tooth was pretty loose and we knew that by Christmas it would be out. (She has been hoping that both top teeth would fall out around Christmas so she could sing "my two front teeth".) She came home from school with her tooth seriously hanging by a thread. I so wish that I would have taken a picture. It was hanging lower than all of her other teeth and was all twisted. She looked like a complete hillbilly...to the point that I was embarrassed to go out with her in public. But she would NOT pull it out. She was being so funny about it and was getting so upset that Geoff and I kept asking to see it. We eventually just stopped talking about it and let her deal with it the way that she wanted to. Geoff and I ended up going on a date this night (our first one since Camden was born!!). We came home and her tooth was sitting on the nightstand. When I asked the babysitter what happened, she said that she put the girls to bed and Macie just came out and said "my tooth just fell out."  When we asked Macie the next day, she said that it just fell out in her bad and she thought that she lost it in her sheets. She said that there was no blood and she just went back to sleep.
