Kacey went home around 6:15 PM today. Jaden was upset to have her leave, but they got to spend 3 days and 2 nights together!! I guess Jaden just wants Kacey to live here. I do love Kacey, but I am exhausted. It's not Kacey's fault, though, it is all mine. I went into full entertainment mode- I want to make sure the girls had the absolute best time ever. We did so much.
In fact, today, I took all three girls to Jump N Land in McKinney. We were there from 2:30 PM until they closed at 6 PM. Jaden had started to get a little grumpy... She was sad that Kacey wouldn't be going back home with us, and she was just plain worn out. We got home, and Jaden at a little dinner. After her dinner, she took a bath, and then she went and sat down on the reclining chair. I walked away for maybe 5 minutes, but I returned to look for her when she was just too quiet. She was sound asleep in the chair. Poor baby!!!! Just worn out!!! It was only 7:30 PM at that time, but I guess she couldn't keep her eyes open one second longer.
On another note, now that our internet allows us onto blogspot, I thing I'll be able to put together some slide shows for this site. I wasn't able to do it with our satellite internet, and so I just had to post pictures one by one. Now I am going to go back and delete the pictures and post slide shows... That way you can see more pictures and you won't have to scroll all the way down the page... So, stayed tuned for that. Good night!

Trunk or Treat
Well, we had fun at trunk or treat Friday night. The girls were just adorable in their costumes (I know that doesn't mean much coming from a mom- of course I think they were adorable!!) Once Jaden figured out what she had to do to get candy, she was running from car to car. She has never gone trick or treating before, and she didn't even know what Halloween was. Now she has a bagful of candy.
Morgan was clueless about what was going on, but she didn't mind having her bumble bee outfit on at all. In fact, it was the cutest thing because she was crawling around, and with the wings on her back, she really did look like a huge bee!!! A 19 pound bee, hahahahaha!!!
We went to the church where my parents and Uncle Kevin go, so we got to spend time with them, too. Grandma Leslie was a proud grandma showing off her bumble bee to everyone!!! She didn't want to put her down (yes, she loves her grand daughters).
Kacey went with us. She didn't know what trunk or treat was. She knew that she was getting into her costume, but she thought it was just like a Halloween party. When the trunk or treating started, she went crazy!!!
When we got home that night it was late. Kacey was spending the night... of course, like all sleep overs, it was a late night. Jaden, Kacey and Morgan giggled and played until 11:30 PM- and I made them go on to bed.

A few days in Bastrop, TX
Hi, everyone! We got back from a little vacation on Monday night. We spent several days with Grandma Frances in Bastrop. We had a great time visiting and even going on a little road trip to San Marcos & Austin. Rain came down Sunday night and a cold front came through. We all woke up freezing cold. Jaden had a runny nose, Morgan had a cough, and I had a sore throat. By the time we got back to Anna, TX, Jaden was doing better. Morgan and I are still sick. In fact, it is 2:45 AM, but I am wide awake because every time I lay down, I go into a coughing fit. LeCount is going to take Morgan to the doctor tomorrow. Since we don't have insurance, I won't be going, but after the struggle Morgan went through earlier with Pnuemonia and RSV, we just can't take a chance that this may be something (or develop into something) more than a cold.
Since we were gone for several days (5 in all), we have been doing a lot of catching up around here. A lot of laundry and unpacking... But, it was worth it.
We have a big day today, too. I am going to pick up Kacey from school today. Then, we will come back to the house & get the girls' costumes on. Jaden is going to be a black cat & Morgan will be a bumble bee. We are going to go up to the church for trunk or treat later on tonight, and then, kacey is going to spend the night. Jaden said that she wants to sleep in her Dora tent inside. We'll see. Then, Saturday we will head out to the bouce houses or something else fun. Hopefully, I will start feeling better and not spread this nasty stuff around.
Well, I am going to lay down for awhile and see if I can fall asleep. Good night!

Local Fall Festival
We had another fun time yesterday. The city had a fall festival. Actually, it was the School District. It was a little fundraiser with lots of games, bounce houses, food, art & music. Kacey, Aunt Audra, and Clay came with us. I think the whole city was there and then some because it was packed. We got there right when it started at 4PM, and by the time we left (6:30 PM), cars were parked everywhere!
Jaden had a lot of fun playing with her cousin. She followed her around everywhere. There really wasn't much for Morgan to do, but she did eat some pizza.
I noticed a couple of days ago that Morgan actually has 2 teeth that came in on the bottom, but I still can't get any pictures of them. They are still so small. I feel something on the top, too, but she won't let me see them- so, who knows how many she will have by the time they are big enough to see.
Well, Morgan is crying for me to hold her, so I will blog more another time. Take care! ">

Morgan's First Tooth
The day finally arrived yesterday- Morgan has her first tooth. She won't let anyone look at it, but you can sure feel it!!!
On Friday we went to Toys R Us in Plano to pick up a birthday present for Kacey, and we ran into the Power Rangers. Jaden doesn't even know who they are, but she posed with them for a picture. She also go their autograph & played in the Power Ranger Bounce House. Then, we went on to Willow Bend mall, where both Morgan and Jaden got to play on the toys. Morgan was crawling everywhere!!! (trying to keep up with big sister)
We don't have anything planned for today. I know a lot of people will probably be doing a lot of shopping today with the Colombus Day specials, but we are going to stay home.
I hope everyone is getting a chance to read our blog now. I will keep in touch this way. Talk to you soon!

Fall Festival
Ok, it's not exactly called a fall festival or a pumpkin patch, but every year in the fall, Owen's Farm opens up for Big Orange Pumpkin Farm. I just call it the Pumpkin Patch. We went last year, and Jaden loved it. This year we went during the work week. Since Uncle Scott was in town for the week, we were able to all go together (Uncle Scott, Grandma Leslie, Grandpa Lyale, and our little McLaughlin Family). It was scorching hot outside. In fact as I type this I feel the remnants of yesterday on my skin (a nice sun burn).
So, Jaden fed the animals. They come right up to people (ducks, too), so Jaden put the food in her hand and let the animals eat it that way... And sometimes, she would just throw it on the ground. Morgan just sat back and watched, and said "duh, duh" (while I was telling her they were ducks).
Then, we went on a hay ride, and ran around looking at the pumpkins. We got to each pick out one. So, now we have 3 pumpkins in the house. I guess I need to find some pumpkin receipes so that I can put them to good use- to feed us :0)
After the Pumpkin Patch we went to lunch at a Tex-Mex restaurant called El Paso. Then, We went to the Marr's house for some visiting. By the time we headed back home at 3:30 PM, both of the girls were exhausted & fell asleep on the way back to Anna.
As you can see, we had a good time. Today is chore day, so there won't be anything exciting to write about that. Ha, ha, ha, ha! I'll write more soon! Take care everyone!">

backtrack
Ok. Just to backtrack a little. We have done a lot in the past few months. I am really going to have to start taking more pictures, too. We went to a high school football game (Richardson). We had a wonderful time; except for the fact that Richardson's team was HORRIBLE!!! I mean, the worst of the worst... and they were playing against Pearce, which made the lose even worse (if that is possible). I forgot to bring the camera, so I don't have any pictures of that.
We have gone to the mall a few times to walk around (hey, it's free to look), and also to play in the play area. I did get some pictures of that, so I'll post those.
Tomorrow we are planing to go to Owen's Farm for their annual Pumpkin Patch. Last year, Jaden had so much fun, and we got a lot of good pictures. This year, we are going during the week, so Jaden will get to pick out a pumpkin (free- with the price of admission). Plus, they have hay rides, etc. I will update the blog tomorrow with all of that. Hopefully, I will have some good pictures to show, too. I hope everyone is well. And I hope someone remembers that my blog is still out here in cyberspace to be read. I know everyone has given up on me... But, really, we are up and running now :0) Talk to you soon!
