Church's Fall Festival

We had our church's fall festival this past weekend. The girls ate LOTS of candy, played games, and went on a hay ride. We had a lot of neat tractors that the kids could take pictures beside.
Not quite sure what just happened!!! ha ha

bobbing for apples!!!

taking break for a little bite to eat...

Mary Pinson playing with her balloon!

Perrin walked through the hay maze.
She thought she was in Disney World because she saw Snow White...

and the Queen. Dopey was also there!! She was sooooo excited. She really thought that they were real. She wanted to know why the other dwarfs didn't come. And then we had to talk all the way home about where Snow White was going when she left the museum, where she lived, and where she was going to sleep that night!!!

Monster Bash at Children's Museum

We took our two little princesses to a halloween bash at the Children's Museum. Perrin was dressed as Ariel and Mary Pinson is Snow White. Perrin is trying to get Mary Pinson to stay still to take a picture.
Daddy had a big time too with his girls...

Perrin got to paint a pumpkin

They had different characters dressed up that were walking around the museum.. Perrin spotted the m&m walking around and thought he was great!!!

Little Dancer!!

Perrin started dance and gymnastics a few weeks ago!! She has had a lot of fun...

Children's Discovery Museum!!!

This has been by far my favorite thing that we have done yet while being in Georgia!!! This children's museum was awesome!!!! We bought a family membership. I think that Kevin and I had as much fun as the girls did!!! What a wonderful day we had!!!

Clifford the big "bad" dog, as Perrin calls him, is at the children's museum for the rest of this month. As you can see he was VERY big!!! They could slide down Clifford's tail...
climb on his feet...

Get bones for him out of his dog bowl...
Play music on the stage... They also had a post office, resturaunt, tool shed, etc. The library was decked out in Clifford stuff too!!!

Cooking in the Play Kitchen

Our Little Entertainers!!

This piano played music by itself... I don't know where Mary Pinson got her musical liking from but she LOVES music... She sat on this bench and pressed on the keys and swayed to the music that was being played!!!

Perrin loved this stage that she could perform on. It was fully equipped with lighting options and sound effects!!! And yes, for those family members that have seen Perrin's "shows" where she is introduced by me... we did that too!!!

Dr. Perrin!!!!!!!!

Poor Mary Pinson!!! She was Perrin's patient today!!!
She was pretending to be Dr. Massey, Mary P's ear doctor!!!
Looking for her supplies!!

Round 2 at the Park

We had so much fun at the park we had to go back again. We took our friends from seminary and their children. The kids (and daddies) had a lot of fun playing in the water.

Riding Carousel

The girls got to ride the carousel when we played in the park by the river in Chattanooga.

Perrin thought this was great!!! Mary P was holding on for dear life!!!
Perrin sat on about 4 animals before she settled on the one she would ride on!!

Daddy and Perrin walking over the TN River to go eat!!! We forgot to bring the stroller!! BIG MISTAKE.... But we made it and had fun....

Playing by the TN River

We had the best time last Friday in Chattanooga! We went to a park by the river and played in this fountain. The girls thought it was great. The water would shoot up at different times. One time Mary Pinson was leaning over one of the holes and it started to shoot up... She turned around and ran as fast as she could away from it!!! It was funny...

Big sister showing Mary Pinson what to do!!!

Right before we left Perrin got brave enough to go to almost to the middle.

Watching Barney with Ear Phones

We recently went to Chattanooga with a couple from our church. We rode in their vehicle and they had these head phones that the girls could wear while they watched Barney. Mary Pinson was hilarious!!! She would put them on and start dancing. She loved them....

Black-Eyed Pinson

Mary Pinson had a rough time one day last week. It started that morning. We were outside watering the flowers and she fell down twice!! She busted her lip a little and scratched one eye. Then later that afternoon Perrin decided that she wanted the toy in Mary Pinson's hand so she did what any 3 year old sister would do... she took it and ran!!! As she ran, Mary Pinson fell down and hit the corner of the little kid table in our kitchen and got a black eye!!! She does look pitiful in this picture but she sure did enjoy that popscile (that is why she looks filthy!).

This picture was taken a few days later... So as you can see she recovered nicely. She was back to her sweet smiling self.

Updated Finally!!!

Well I know that it has been a while since I have updated!!! So I am trying to catch up. I have decided that I will try to update weekly. Now... I did say TRY!!! ha ha ha. We have been in Georgia for a month now. We have had ups and downs since we have been here. The girls have adjusted well. Perrin does seem to get bored more often. She got so used to having a lot to do in Grenada. She will be starting dance and gym class next week. We have also gotten a library card and have been a couple of times to check out some books. She really likes to do that.

Mary Pinson had a really easy adjustment... she really had no idea!! ha ha.. She however decided to cut about 6 teeth the first couple of weeks here. She now has all four molars and is now cutting two more!!! Mary Pinson has started to really try and communicate with us. She is pointing to things that she wants and grunting or taking our hand and leading us to what she wants. The church is going well. We are getting used to them and they are getting used to us. It is beautiful here. The mountains are gorgeous and there is so much to do. Kevin's parents came to visit this past weekend. That was fun. The girls had a good time. We are going to Grenada this Thursday for labor day. We are very excited about that... It seems like it has been an eternity since we have been there. I will try to be faithful to update weekly so you can see and read about what is going on here in Georgia!!! Thanks for looking at our blog!!!

Eating Popscicles and Swimming!!

Gabby bought Perrin and Mary Pinson a blow up swimming pool to have in Georgia. Well they have LOVED it. Life in Georgia has been much slower than in Grenada. We don't know many people and Perrin was getting pretty bored. We have some friends that we went to seminary with who have 4 children that live here in Dalton. So we called them over and they all went swimming. Perrin had a blast playing with them. She has so much fun when they get to play.

At one point we looked out the window and the kids were jumping off of a chair into the pool!!

Mary Pinson loves to eat popscicles now. She makes a really big mess and has a ball doing it!!!
