Addison's changing table and nursery theme decision, Annabelle's halloween party, and our new pets!

Hello everyone!

We have lots to post about today so lets get to it!

Last night we decided to tackle the new changing table we ordered for Addison's nursery... Annabelle is still using hers so we thought we would get a second one that will grow into a dresser.. It came yesterday and I documented the process. I thought I could edit the 8 short videos but I haven't figured out how to do it. I will try to youtube it so you can see it.. It looks just lovely now but it was work to get it together.

Not only did we get and assemble the changing table but I FINALLY decided on a theme for Addison... It was a bit more challenging than Annabelle's Bee theme but I am really happy with what we are going to go with... I thought with the beautiful Southern Rose bedding I have that I would do a Garden theme.. complete with a white picket fence.. Christy, Andrea and the long time readers will appreciate why I had to have white picket fencing in her room!! I did try to use what we have but was afraid of the splinter possibilities so I bought a section from the Home Depot! I am really happy with how it turned out.. and I didn't have to paint! I must add that I LOVE the staple gun... what a wonderful tool for us non-crafty people! :)

Today was Annabelle's first preschool party and it was so cute... She dressed like Nemo and they had a parade of all the kids in their costumes.. so so cute.. I will attach some photos. You will see many of her in the Nemo costume after tomorrow. She looks so stinking cute in it. Halloween here on post is quite the experience. I invite any of you to come join us as last year we had over 350 kids come by! This year we are going to take Annabelle early in the evening, then come back and hand out the goodies! I have a huge tub of candy and every morsel will be gone by tonight, unless I decide to hide a few smarties! (my favorite)


Last but not least, we have a few new pets to share with you...

If you can't see what exactly you are looking at let me help you.... they are ladybugs... we have HUNDREDS OF THEM! John vacuumed at least 100 earlier TODAY and this is a sampling of what we have moving in now.. Lucky they aren't harmful and the cats, as well as Annabelle, really enjoy watching them fly around.. John and I, not so much... I don't know if we are all having this issue but it seems to happen when the cold comes and the lady bugs want to stay warm.. Gran would love it!

I must go put Annabelle to bed... Much love to you and please keep the prayers for Amber and Odaddy coming!
