You Want Me to Wear a Costume?

This Halloween we had plans for Molly to be a pumpkin. We bought the pumpkin at the beginning of October and tried to put it on Molly when we got home but she just cried. I just thought okay she is not in the mood today, but every time I would even bring it out and show her she would run out of the room. I would even pretend to put the silly thing on and play in it so she could see that it was not a bad thing. Even after all of that she still wanted nothing to do with it but tried anyway. The first picture is of me trying to show her the pumpkin costume on Halloween and telling her we are going to put it on and go get candy. As you can see she is ignoring me and reading her book. The next picture is what she did when I put it on. Needless to say she won and being that both of her parents graduated from A&M we happened to have an Aggie outfit and put that on her. We did not go trick-or-treating because it was Bret's moms birthday so we cooked a nice dinner at their house and helped pass out candy. Molly loved helping pass out the candy and eating some too.

Dallas Zoo

Sorry it has been awhile since I last blogged but this new class I am teaching has been very time consuming. Anyway, around the end of September Bret and I took Molly to the Dallas Zoo with our friends Chris, Valerie, and Ian. It was her first trip so we were not sure if she would even care, but she really liked seeing all the animals. We had a great time and Molly seemed to enjoy it.

First Hair Cut!!

Molly had her first hair cut and was not so thrilled about it. I know what you are thinking "but she did not have that much hair." Oh but she did have a mullet in the back and it was time for it to go. We went to my parents house for Labor Day weekend and while we were there my sister cut it for us.

Just eating some snacks and everything going great!

She is actually starting to cry at this point.

All done and she just glares at my sister like what did you just do!

Here is the before and after evidence if you never noticed the mullet.

Before the haircut, see the mullet!

After the haircut, all nice and clean.

End of Summer

Well it is that time again, summer has ended and it is time to go back to school. This year is so much harder for me than last year. Molly and I had so much fun this summer and like always it went by way to fast. I do have a new classroom and kids so that is a little exciting but not the same as being with Molly. Enough of all of that! Here are a few pictures from our fun summer.

Bubbles!!

Bubbles just might be the best thing ever made. Well at least Molly thinks so.

San Fransisco Get Away

Last week Bret and I had a little get away to San Fransisco without Molly. We went for our 5th wedding anniversary. It was back in June but we were so busy with Molly's birthday, my birthday, and father's day that we just now got to go. It was so much fun. There was so much to do and the weather was amazing. I was always in jeans and light jacket. If I had no jacket on then I was wearing a light long sleeve shirt. I am a horrible flyer so the whole time I was having anxiety attacks about that, that I could not really think about being sad for us leaving Molly and once we got there we were so busy. Like I said we had a great time but we were both ready to get back and see our little miss Molly. I have much more pictures on facebook to look at if you are interested.

4th of July

I had to make this post because for once we actually had plans for the 4th of July. It was a fun filled day. First we attempted to make it to the Rockwall parade but Molly (and Bret) were napping. When everyone woke up we went over to some friends, Jay and Alison's, to eat lunch and let the kiddos play and have fun. After some long playing all babies were getting a bit cranky so we left the scene quickly for round two of naps. When Molly woke up we went over to Bret's uncles house and had some fun on his boat. Then we finished the day off watching some fireworks. Molly was not sure about it at first. I think the popping scared her but she got used to it and enjoyed it.
