Ballerina and painting

We hung about half of our Christmas lights this weekend. It was really funny because the neighbors were driving by and STOPPING to talk to us about our lights. Zach really takes pride in making our house look AWESOME. It was a little nuts to me to be putting them out the day before Halloween but (and don't tell him I told you this) it was kind of fun helping him. I have had a cold for a few days so I had to go in and rest for a little while but I did help some.

We are not really big on Halloween but we did let Bailey dress up and help pass candy out. I tried to take her trick-or-treating around the neighborhood but she really wasn't interested in talking to strangers (aka, neighbors). So, she just wanted to help daddy pass candy out on the front porch. She was SO cute. See for yourself:

This is my favorite one. I love her little (or not so little) thighs!

Last Friday was my dad and my little sister's birthday. Yesterday, I took Bailey to a place called "Purple Glaze" to paint a gift for my dad. She chose a puppy. LOL! Here are a couple pictures of her painting. (and a picture of me in my new glasses). I can see! :) And yes, I know she is a mini-me!

I am so excited to go visit my family back in Arkansas this weekend! We are having a family birthday party for my dad and sister. It should be lots of fun. Oh, and I lost about 1 more pound. Not great but I'm almost down 20 so I'm happy about my overall loss. Have a great week!
