Computes?

I just got a new ceiling fan for the living room that only runs by remote control. The one I really wanted was $150 and this one was $50, so that kinda sealed the deal and I like this one pretty good anyway. This morning, Kylee wanted to play with the remote and was turning the light on and off. After she had turned it on and off a couple times, she said, "Wow, this really computes!" I didn't even know she knew that word. :-)

Little Artist!

Last week, I worked on painted Kylee's new room. The room was blue, but when I told her that she was going to be moving into the bigger room (since she is going to be the big sister), she was very adamant that her room be pink and not blue. I tried to convince her to maybe put some purple, or another color (since her room now is pink and yellow), but she was not to be convinced! It is a dark fuchsia pink and a pale pink. It turned out cute. I will post pictures of the completed room, once we have moved her stuff into it, etc. I let her help me a some during the painting process. She didn't understand why I had to paint over where she had already painted, but other than that, she had a great time.

Pumpkins

Yesterday a friend called and said that Wal-Mart was trying to get rid of their pumpkins. So much so, that I got 4 good size pumpkins for a total of .04. You can't beat a penny a piece! I want to cook and puree the pumpkin and then freeze for future use. My mom always did her own, but this will be a first for me. I'm thinking I also need to make another pumpkin cheesecake. Yum!

Election Day!

After I took Kylee to get her hair cut this morning, I went to vote. I had Gracie today so both of the girls went in the booth with me. I had to keep them on the other side of the "cast your vote button" so they wouldn't see it and succumb to the temptation to press it!

Both of them have silly expressions on their faces!
