Are you saying that I have too much crap?

Existing Shed

My "new" shed

Well, we have decided to stay in our house for a little while longer. With the way the economy is right now think it makes more sense to stay put than to do anything drastic. Like many of you, we are beginning to "outgrow" our house. Billie mentioned to me several weeks ago that he needed to get another shed to put the overflow in.

That sounded like a good idea to me. I was thinking yard stuff, garage crap, etc. Well, this post is the official introduction to "MY NEW SHED." Billie got the shed, put it together, built it up so that it won't flood and told me that it was my shed to put all the holiday stuff in. So it is now full of Easter, Halloween, lots of Christmas decor, etc. At first I was like "okay," but now I really like the idea because I can get into it and get out my stuff when I want to without any help. When it was in the attic...well, you know how that is...you need a little help to get it down through the hole. So everything is mostly organized by colored tubs...gotta love those hubbies!

Our Lil' Pumpkin through the years...we have been going to the same pumpkin patch for 4 years now! I love this Fall McGinnis Family tradition!

She's a dance, dance, dance, dancin machine!

For the little girl who thinks she may want to quit dance...here is a little video of twinkle toes in action. At the wedding in Topeka last weekend, she really had a great time on the dance floor. Cousin Grady is one of the girls soccer coach's at Washburn University and the team was there to help celebrate. Those girls had a ball taking turns with the little girls who were dancing. Check her out!

Pumpkin Decorating!

Well, here are all our pumpkins that we decorated. Notice all the marker from Alexandra's additional "decorating." She is too funny! She begged and begged to get the "gooey" out of the pumpkin we carved and then thought it was too yucky! Loved it!

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch last week. Alex had to take my Snoopy from when I was a young girl. We bought several pumpkins for the house and 9 to take and donate to Alex's class at school. We had too much fun! Only wish we had a picture of me pushing $30 worth of pumpkins in the wheelbarrow! HA!

Alex's Flower Girl Debut

Thanks Cousin Grady!!!!

Well, this last weekend we went to Topeka as Alex made her debut as a flower girl. She was beautiful! She got her hair done like the big girls and did a perfect job walking down the aisle. She brought a tear to our eyes...so sweet. Here are few pictures to enjoy! Thanks Cousin Grady and Lizzi for having Alexandra be a princess in your wedding!

A LOT to catch up on!

So it has been a while since my last post. Billie and I went to OU/TX and although we didn't win the game...we had a really good time. We met up with some friends and had several libations since we didn't have to worry about Alex. It was nice to have some alone time. Here goes the last two weeks...
