Singing Sister/Halloween/"Gun Totin" Win

It has been an interesting month. All is going well. Maxx is REALLY growing fast and eating a lot! Win is getting better about her attitude, I guess that is partly because I am too!! For Halloween, Win was a green M&M and Maxx was a pumpkin for a little while. He was laying down at Trunk or Treat and couldn't sit up well because the suit was too tight! It got hot so I had to take it off of him. Yes, that is her cleaning the toilet and washing the dishes! She LOVES it...really she does! She asks to clean the toilet!!! Gun Totin Win...do I need to say more?

(And one week later........) All is still going well. I tried to get these pictures up last week some time but they wouldn't load. So, I'm just now getting to it again!! Maxx had the Chicken Pox scare on Friday so we went to the doc. He is TWENTY pounds!!! He better get taller!! Pray for Maxx. He has an appointment with a urologist this week. I won't go into why because when he's older he will be mad at me!! (appointment went fine. Can't do anything about it for another year so we wait and see for now!)

Recent pictures and update on us

I got a note from a friend of mine the other day reminding me that I haven't put pictures on my blog in a while. :) No excuses really. I told my sister this morning that I don't get on the computer much at home. Too much other stuff to do! So, since the mower wouldn't work this morning and I'm not mowing, I guess I will get some pictures uploaded and give everyone and update on us. I tried to get this done last night but I kept getting kicked off the Internet. It was frustrating and I said oh well! I later realized that Win was knocking the modem over behind her bed.

Win is doing better at school now. It seems that it took her a few weeks to get used to everything. I really think the sassyness that came right after school started was because she thought I was leaving her and was sad. When we drive to school and other places she is always asking how to spell something. She knows a few words now and is always interested in how to spell big words. I have to be careful though because I might spell the word wrong!!



Winter playing in her room.


William got the guitar that we got with the car out for Win to play. She seemed to like it and is always asking to play! Hey, I'm glad she likes music!!


Winter made the "Neck-A-lace" she's wearing. She's rather proud of it!!


Maxx is growing like a weed as you can tell from the pictures. I had to take him to the doctor this week. Mama (where they stay) called me because he had a rash all over the right side of his face. The doc said that he had some respiratory issues...bronchitis is what I understood from him. He's on an antibiotic and some other stuff. I sure hope he gets better soon! I didn't realize he was that sick. He was always laughing and cooing and stuff. He was stopped up and his eye was running but the nurse on the phone said it was probably a clogged tear duct. Anyway, he will get better.


This one cracked me up because his eyes are crossed and he's trying to look at the toy! Funny Maxx!!
Speaking of Maxx....I was outside talking to William while he was changing the oil in the truck. He made a movement with his head and it was just like Maxx...well I guess Maxx is just like William!



Check out the fauxhawk!! :) (Inspired by a student of mine)


Sweet sleeping Maxx...folding his hands like he's praying!



Win and Maxx...she actually likes him...right now anyway!


William is doing okay in school. AT first it was a big adjustment to be able to do his homework and work too. There are some days when there is a lot to get done in the short time he has so I have helped him some. He will get better as the semester goes by! He told me this morning that mid terms are in two weeks! WOW!! That seems fast!!
These last two pictures are my new favorites!!

"Blast from the Past" day

A couple of weeks ago was homecoming at Overton. (The week after the hurricane to be exact.) Anyway, one of the days was blast from the past day. I dressed up...see the picture below. Here is the sad part....my students said I looked great! lol They said you need to wear your hair like that more often! I think they mean I need to wear it down. At least that is how I'm going to take it anyway! So, I have decided to get a hair cut. (I realized that I have had the same hair style for about 10-15 years!!) The hair style I'm going for is below too. I'm strange I know! I was watching an episode of What Not to Wear and said I want that hair! Yes, I took a picture of the TV! I haven't gotten it yet, but I will soon!! Let me know what you think!

Spelling Lessons from Winter

Winter....she is something else! We talk a lot about how to spell things, dog, cat, fish, and so on. Win and I were walking into Wal-Mart the other day and she said "You spell Wal-Mart W A L star M A R T" We had talked about the walmart sign and what letters were there and so on so I guess that is what prompted her to spell Wal-Mart. How funny that she would say "Star" in the middle. She saw it there, so I guess that is how it should be spelled!!

Maxx at 5 to 6 Weeks

Here are some recent pictures of Maxx. I can't belive he's 6 weeks already! He is growing fast and Winter seems to enjoy having him around. He will look for the voices he knows, and seems to listen to his siter. It is cute when she's talking and he's looking at her. Anyway, just thought I would share these!
