Just Clownin' Around!

My mom made my sister and I matching clown costumes in 1978 and Maclaine found this one at my mom's and decided to add it to her dress-up collection.

When you have a clown costume on you just have to "act" like a clown! There's just no way around it!

I love these pictures!





My mom dug through her pictures and found these. This one is me, I actually cropped my sister out of this one (sorry DeeDee)....



This one is me, my "Mimi" which is my great-grandmother, and my sister DeAyn. I'm 4 in this picture and my sister is 7...



Have some fun today, clown around with someone you love!

Faces of the year!

This little girl right here, makes me laugh! She's got such a wittiness about her. She loves to talk in a British accent and her sense of humor and timing are awesome!

Here's just a few of her faces that make me smile every day!

World Famous Jamaica Dress!

Ty and I got married in Jamaica 11+ years ago and my mom bought me this dress to wear while we were lounging at the resort. For some reason I still have this dress, not sure why because I'm known to get rid of things all the time. BUT, needless to say Maclaine has now adopted this dress. My mom sewed it so it would fit her.

Here's me wearing the dress in Jamaica...I look pretty hideous in the dress, especially compared to Maclaine....


She actually wore it to church one day and boy oh boy did she get a lot of comments on her outfit that day! I love her flair!

"We are The Morgan's"

See this little cutie right here?



Do you know what she said to me the other day?

She was perfecting her towel-snapping technique and decided she wanted to practice on my booty. Well, as you can guess I was a little concerned and voiced to her that "I was scared."

This is what she said to me,

"Don't be afraid, We are The Morgan's, for crying out loud."

Back to school!

Well, today is the first day of Second grade for Maclaine. All summer I've been praying about Maclaine's upcoming school year. Praying about whether or not to keep her at Noah Webster, praying about who her teacher will be, praying that she would meet some really sweet girls this year, just overall praying for Maclaine's experience in Second grade. When we went to the open house to find out who her teacher was, we realized she wasn't in the same class with any of her friends from last year. Really, she only has a few familiar kids in her class. That immediately got me concerned and sad for her but I had to keep reminding myself that I've prayed about this and I've given my child over to the Lord. I choose to trust God and believe that He's put her in this class for a reason.

This picture was taken at the Open House. She chose a desk near the front, "that's my girl".....



She was up at 6:00 and dressed to go to school at 6:15....





Here she is in front of her new classroom...





Here she is walking to class with her new classmates....


It looks like she's crying in this picture but she's not. She just turned around with her mouth opened when she heard her name called.

Style all her own!

Maclaine has always had a little flair to her style. When she was really young, she didn't like the actual dress-up clothes that you buy, she wanted to "create" her own dress-up clothes with things she found around the house.

When she started First grade last year I quickly got tired of the arguments in the morning about what she was going to wear so I decided to just "let it go." There were some mornings when I cringed at the thought of her going to school with the outfits she picked out. But, most of all I was extremely proud of her that she felt confident enough to pull off some of these creations. I pray that she always keeps that confident, creativeness about her.

Here's one of the outfits that I had to bite my tongue and not say anything about. Just so you know, those are red and white striped socks over red leggings. She only wore it once, but she was darn proud of this ensemble.



This one was another outfit she put together for school. I don't know if you can tell from the picture but she was very specific about how she wanted her hair done on this day, it has lots of rubber bands that are strategically placed.



This outfit she accessorized by adding a scarf...



This was just one of her dress-up outfits that she put together...



This is how she wanted her hair done for "crazy-hair" day last year....



I can't wait to see what kind of outfits she puts together for Second Grade.....stay tuned!

Our first Wii accident!

My niece Aubrey and Ty were playing the Wii the other day and Maclaine walked right into the remote. I'm ashamed to say that I let out a little giggle because it was just plain funny! Maclaine actually laughed too, she's a tough cookie, but she did have a broken lip to show for it.

Here's her battle wound...


Here's the re-enactment...


Here's the girls taking a break from the Wii....
