Bubble Bath

My very clever boy discovered tonight that if you wait until Mommy leaves the room and turn on the jets in the tub, you get 100X more bubbles.  They looked like 4 bobbing heads!  :)

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

BOB

I want to announce the newest member of the Bradford Bunch...Bob the kitten. 

John's office took in a beautiful stray calico which we very quickly discovered was pregnant.  About 3 weeks later she had 4 precious babies, 2 gray and 2 tan, which the twins named Sam, Sarah, Tina, and Bob.  I have to admit that I was initially drawn to Tina until Bob won my heart by being a sweet snuggle bug.  After LOTS of convincing, John gave in and I have my new baby.  He LOVES me and is such a sweet pea!!

Quick Trip

Last weekend John and I decided, very spontaneously I must add, to take a day trip up to the mountains.  We piled all the kids in the car and drove 2 hours to Maggie Valley to check out the leaves, enjoy the beautiful fall day, and (John's favorite part) look at some real estate.  We stopped at a country store for some local apples, honey, blackberry jam, and cabbage.  We also had a moment that my Daddy would have been SO proud to witness...all 4 of my kids devouring 2 bags of boiled peanuts...YUMMY...thanks Peanut King.  Jack told the "King of Peanuts" that he makes the best boiled peanuts in the world.  We grabbed lunch at a cute BBQ place and headed back home.  It was nice to have a day with just the 6 of us.  We have missed Daddy (John) so much over the past 2 months while he was busy with the Haunted House.  It was great family time...we needed it badly!

Macy Monet?

My Macy is turning out to be quite the little artist.  Check out the picture of John and I that she drew on a mini magnadoodle.  Natural talent...don't you agree?

Halloween 2010

Halloween is so not my favorite holiday...that's how I've always felt; however, this year was not quite as bad as usual.  Jack took off with a buddy and all 3 girls walked, carried their own loot, said their own "Trick-Or-Treats," and had a fantastical time.  I actually got to mosey around with them without stress...WOW!  For school's "Parade of Fiction" this year Jack went as Flat Stanley and Molls was Alice In Wonderland...super cute.  For the big night Jack was the "Scream" ghost (not my first choice), Molly was Princess Tiana, Sophie was Barbie (from Fashion Fairytale), and Macy was Snow White.  Have I mentioned how sick I am of Princesses?  But they were the cutest princesses I've ever seen!
