There are Signs!

Yep, there are beginning to be several signs that Christmas is coming here at the DeBorde's! When we got back from the deer lease, the girls' elves had arrived, Marty and Rupert. They stay with us to watch over them and report to the Big Man about how they have been. Morgan gets very into this and takes care of her elf. I am not sure Reagan is too happy to have someone watching over her! The girls also got THEIR tree put up, no your screen isn't going bad, it is a big pink tree!

Target Practice

Well we headed to the deer lease after all of our Thanksgiving Feasts! Before we left we bought Morgan a new BB Gun, so she could start getting used to using it and learn the very important gun safety rules. Rusty was really hard on her, if we are going to continue hunting and being in that environment with him, the girls need to understand how powerful the guns are and that they are not a toy. Morgan was a little hesitant at first, but by the time we were leaving she was getting pretty good, Ray may need some work!

Here's our target:

The learning: If you notice the squinting of her eyes, she was so afraid it was going to be loud at first, unfortunately I don't have any of her later in the trip when she much more confident.

Reagan had to move up very close to the target, a bigger target, to hit it, she finally did!

They had fun, but really if the only thing there was a four wheeler, they'd be happy. It was a great Thanksgiving & we have so much to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday with Rusty on hump day?

I like turkey so much that I go to bed every night with a breast in my mouth and a leg in each hand!

Happy Thanksgiving,

Wow! It seems that change is already starting to happen even on the local level in good old Pearland Texas. Companies are hiring smiling facing and...the Mc Ribs is back!!!

While Mama Cat's Away...

My little mice did play! While I was in Canton over the weekend, Rusty took the girls along with my niece Maci & my brother Wade, AKA Uncle Boog, to the deer lease. Nothing was killed to say the least, Rusty claims there wasn't a deer within 3 counties for as loud as the girls were in the blind. Which translates to he shot and missed :-) (Yeah there's a story there) Anyway, he just sent me some pictures of their trip, from what I can see only a couple "Mom" rules may have been broken

For starters I don't let them ride on the back of the Jeep like this, he does! Reagan drug her feet and they found her boots like 200 yards back, surely that is safe.

No infraction in this one that I can tell, just a cute one of them hangin' in the deer blind

Little nap time for Boog and Morgan, cute blankie WadeOutside, on the 4 wheeler, no shoes!

They all had a blast, my biggest concern is that my girls have on the same clothes (2days) in every picture...I am sure he was trying to save on laundry!

It's your thang, do what you want to do....

Reagan Louise...The Toothless Wonder

Last night after I got back in town, and was putting the girls to bed, Reagan lost her first tooth! Now this is not that big of a deal after Morgan has already lost so many, and the tooth fairy has made various visits. Somehow this one didn't set so well with me. This starts the changing of their looks from baby to kid, I knew it was coming, she's had this wiggler for a while now, but I wasn't that excited last night. Surprisingly, she is not all that excited, she's been talking about it forever, and all she did was cry because she is embarrassed, none of her friends have lost teeth yet, and she doesn't want anyone to know. Well that changed a little this morning when she looked under her pillow...a whopping $10 for her first tooth. Could have had something to do with how much cash the Fairy had on her at the time... anyway that perked her up a little. She went to Mother's Day Out today, but I was instructed to not tell anyone, and she ws just sitting there with her mouth closed..ought to be a fun day!
