Takeover Makeover




So this is the winning Before Picture! Fred (with some help) nominated me to win Breakfast Televisions TAKEOVER MAKEOVER. It is valued at $2500. I am partnered with a Personal Stylist . First she came to my house to see what I have and do a polite What not to wear. We then hit the Core with $1000 dollars for shopping. Karen Judge the Stylist guides me in picking out new clothes. Next is hair here, followed by makeup here. On Friday the 30th of November I will be revealed live on Breakfast Television. SO FUN! I still can't believe I won. Those who know will admit that I really do need help with my lack of style and it is fun to have somebody else just tell me what to do! If left to my own devices it is acurate to say I wear nothing but T-shirts and Jeans! I have enjoyed the process so far and I am looking forward to a new haircut! Stay tuned for after shots!

Happy Birthday Big Boy


So I am really bad at posting as of late So I will try to catch up a little.

Nate turned one on November 3! He is generally such a happy boy but on his actual birthday he was really quite moody. We had quite a few people over and Nathan scored big in the Gift department!

About two weeks after his Birthday Nathan started to walk! So he has been walking for a week and is really picking up steam! He looks like Frankenbaby with his arms out in front and walking very calculated!

Nathan is so much a Boy! He is into everything and just wants to explore - this bothers his sister at times but she does good! I never could have imagined how different boys and girls can be, it is fun to watch. Nathan brings us much love many smiles and a boatload of cuddles! I hope he doesn't grow out of that!

Halloween

Well Samantha had her first real go at trick or treating. First we went out with Nathan also but he only lasted a couple houses - Or rather his mom only lasted carrying him a couple houses. Then Samantha and I went to the end of our long street and up the other side! She never said trick or treat or thank you she just stared at the people handing Candy in her bucket! She only got really scared once and that was at a house where there was scary music and a man dressed as the grim reeper on the front porch - she wouldn't. She started crying and clinging to my knees. We skipped that house!

Samantha was Pablo from the Backyardigans and Nathan was a wise young chineese warrior. Well maybe not really but that is what we pretended. Nathan's Aunt had sent him a chineese outfit so we put that on him, and called it a costume. I have to say he did look more dressed up then a third of our trick or treaters!!
