Adventures, Floors, and more

As always, we've had fun but busy past few days. Over the weekend Blake took a much needed and deserved break from working on our house to go hunting with his brother Chris. They didn't kill anything, but did see some wildlife and had a good time spending time together.

While Blake was a away, Brooke and I had a little fun of our own having a GDO (Girls Day Out). We watched 'Beauty and the Beast" while eating popcorn, then later in the afternoon while it was rainy and cold out we decorated pumpkin sugar cookies. Brooke has become quite my little helper and whether it's helping me dust, unload the dishwasher or make dinner, she is right by my side doing her own thing. Frosting cookies was no exception She wanted to be right in the action. Her attention span lasted almost long enough to frost one cookie, then she spent the rest of the time trying to sneak frosting and sprinkles out of the bowl to nibble on.

Look at her curly hair! Yep, it's too cute to cut.

This is her puckered lip face after she just took a huge lick of frosting
And finally, I was trying to capture Brooke dragging her horse around by its tail and saying "come on horsey, come on" She was taking it for a walk around the house doing this. But instead, I did coax her to say a couple of her animal noises.

And on Monday it was back to working on the house for Blake. He was able to get the wood floors stained and finished. They look gorgeous!! Before:
