I am not one of those moms who dresses up to take her kids trick or treating...only because I spend enough time getting the girls ready, I don't really have time to think about a costume for myself much less get myself ready. I do however, wear a Halloween shirt and cute Halloween socks and this year Mamo (my mother-in-law) was sporting cute socks right along with me!

Today was a FANTASTIC and very historical day for my Baylor Bears...this was the first time they have played an unranked UT team in YEARS, and the first time Baylor has been ranked and Texas has not been ranked...and the Baylor Bears WON!!!!!

We had "bevo" burgers for dinner before the game, we all dressed in our Baylor gear, and we watched the game on TV...it was a great night!  Sic Em Bears!!!!

Here is  a sneak  peak at one of the girls' costumes for this year.  They had a little My Gym Halloween Shin Dig today and they were both so excited to have the chance to wear their costumes another time and I like having a "trial run" to see how everything looks for the Big Day!

Our BG participated in her school's Boosterthon today and it was so much fun!
I was impressed with how well the event was run!

Today was Landry's Halloween Class at My Gym and she had an absolute BLAST!  She was especially excited that she got to wear her costume to class and she loved seeing her friends' costumes too!

The girls are set with PLENTY of glow-in-the-dark garb so they will be seen while they are Trick-or-Treating this weekend.  Landry cannot wait to bust open these packages....we had a fit or two today when she realized she had to wait...it is tough being 2!

Ashton hit the "Boosterthon Jackpot" today. She has been raising money so her school can buy a shade cover for their playground and this year her school is doing a Boosterthon Fun Run and she is so PUMPED about this fundraiser. She has been way more excited and involved in this one than any other one we have EVER done.

The money she has raised so far has earned her silly bands, a Frisbee, super cool sunglasses, and her fave the glow-in-the-dark football.

We visited a new pumpkin patch tent today...this time Lan-Lan had her Big Sisser and Macy and Carly with her!  The pumpkins the girls picked are the "real" pumpkins...the ones Daddy will carve for them!!

We rented this game for Ashton and let me just tell you that she absolutely LOVES it....like she spent 2 and half hours getting her groove on  and the only reason she stopped was because we made her come eat dinner. I think this might just need to be added to our collection in the future!

At this exact moment today, Landry and I were sitting in the car.  At this exact time on every other normal day, LP is taking a nap all comfy in her own bed. This poor girl has been disrupted from her nap more times than I would like as a result of people wanting to look at our house. 

She has been a trooper...I just hope this doesn't last much longer!

Today we had a special after school snack since it was Spirit Day for ARB's school.  The girls loved their Nana frozen yogurt. They both had orange...Ashton had kiwi  and gummy worms on hers while Landry had oreos and halloween sprinkles on hers.

Ashton bought this "Best Friends Necklace"  with her own hard earned allowance money last weekend. She has had her eye on this at Justice and could not wait to buy it and give the other half to Macy.  She was even more excited to actually give it to MG...her BFF. 

She was oozing with excitement and so anxious for Macy to arrive at dance so she could "present" this special gift to MG.

I think it is absolutely precious...and I also can't get over how "Big Girl" that is!

Here is another "first" that I wasn't quite ready for when I opened LP's backpack today...but I am excited about it for Landry.

And I am excited because I LOVE book orders!

I know I have already done a 365 picture like this back in January when Ashton was first learning to write in cursive, but I decided I wanted to do another one now that she is writing in cursive all.the.time!

I knew she was "re-learning" all the letters and since they finished them up on Friday, her teacher gave them the go ahead to write in all cursive all the time if they wanted.  So when she was doing her homework today and I looked over and saw this...I just about fell over. Really?!  That looks way BIG to me and I just wasn't ready for this next step to happen just yet.

I also love the "beginning-ness" she has when she writes in cursive.  And let me tell you...this girl is so proud of her cursive and she thinks it is so cool that she can write in cursive now!

Ashton has been dying to try these snacks for a while now but every time I have tried to get them, they have been out. So she was thrilled when I finally found them!

Even though today is a Saturday...and even though our house in on the market....and even though we could get a "30 minute notice" phone call at any time....I decided we can't put our lives on complete hold...so we busted out the cookie cutters, the icing, and the sprinkles....and made and decorated Halloween cookies.

You all know how I feel about traditions and I feel like my girls (and even me too) are being deprived a little since we can't really decorate for fall like we usually do, so it was muy importante for us to keep with at least one tradition!

Today Landry and I went to the first of our three planned trips to the pumpkin patch. Last year we went with her friends Reese and Elyse and they had such a good time, that this year we took them again.  This year was so much for fun for us Mommas and for the girls!

It's OFFICIAL! Our house is on the market as of today....oh how I hope it sells F-A-S-T ! This whole process scares me a lot, especially since I have no control over this part!

Today we had one cute little momma who was so excited to wear her Halloween shirt!

The girls got their "Halloween Treat" box from Mamo and Papo in the mail today. They love getting this fun little box of goodies since they don't get to "Trick or Treat" at their house.

No school...good weather...fun on the patio!

Ashton had the day off of school today...and I had planned on taking the girls and meeting at the park with some friends for a picnic lunch. I had no idea it was supposed to POUR last night, so our plans changed a bit.  I ended up letting the girls choose where they wanted to pick up lunch from, and we had lunch at home.

Then since it was so nice out, Ashton spent most of the afternoon (enjoying a little time by herself while LP was napping) jamming on her MP3 player, riding her scooter on the patio and painting. She had a ball!  The best thing is listening to her sing as loud as she can to the songs she has chosen!

Our first "FOOTBALL FOOD" Sunday of the season. Today we decided to have some good ole football junk food for din-din. We had some homemade guacamole, quesadilla rolls, and queso. It was a yummy treat for NFL Football Sunday! Too bad both my Chiefs and Daddy's Cowboys lost!

After spending so many weekends busy trying to get this house ready to sell, it was nice to have one weekend where we didn't have anything to do,which meant we were able to enjoy some college football games onTV.

We dressed in our Baylor gear, the girls pulled out the pom-poms and we cheered on the Baylor Bears. After the BU game was over, Ashton put on her Alabama shirt for that game and we ended the day with Daddy's FSU Noles beating Miami!

This evening was a perfect fall evening for a picnic on the patio. Daddy grilled some yummy burgers and we enjoyed the beautiful weather!  This isn't the best picture but I was just trying to snap one real quick before I sat down to eat!

Taco Night...with bonus box tops for Ashton's school. 
(This was the first time we have ever tried the kit before...and the taco shells were all broken and the tortillas fell apart too, so from now on we will stick with our normal way of having tacos.)

"String-Bink"

Landry discovered a new found "friend" today. You see, this "string bink" has been in her diaper bag since our vacation in July. We haven't used her diaper bag in about 2 months (but I'm just not ready to get rid of her diaper bag just yet) and she saw it in her closet. She asked me what was in her bag and I told her nothing she needed.  Well, while I was busy she was "playing" in her room. The next thing I know, she comes to me and says, "Mommy! Come here (insert her grabbing me by the hand and pulling me to her room) see what I found.  And there it was....her "STRING  BINK" and the ransacked diaper bag that she had pulled off the shelf with a little help from her stool! She was so excited....and this has been her bink of choice ever since she pulled it out of her bag.

I love these handy reusable bags...they hold way more stuff, they are easier to carry and I especially love when they get packed so nice and neat!

It took me a while to get to where I actually remembered to take them in with me, but now  it is a habit!

Selling things on Craig's List is easy money....way better than holding your own garage sale!

Today was a FIRST for all of us Texas Bryces...we rode the DART down to Fair Park! We can now say we have done that so we can mark it off our list of things to try/do!

It is beginning to feel like fall outside so what better way to get ready than to plant some mums on the patio...now if I can get these bad boys to bloom then we are in good shape! I am not really very good with plants...I don't have a green thumb at all!

Today I had a Mommy Day Off and went to Canton  with my sister and it was so much fun! I went looking for some things to accessorize my house with and I found this tray and these balls to go on my end table...the one I didn't know what to do with.

I saw lots and lots of cute holiday decorations and the people watching was quite entertaining too!
