Murder 1 or Manslaughter?

The Victim: Not that sweet little girl, no. Although she still holds the emotional scars. Her tiny friend, Carl, the caterpillar.

The case: On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, Mabel and her friend Carl, were enjoying the weather and playing together in the driveway.
After introducing Daddy and the camera to her best friend, Mabel gently set Carl on the ground. She then jumped on her bicycle to do some sweet circle laps around him on the ground.
The Defendant: At said place and time, Charlie Teed takes off running and smears Carl all over the pavement. Accident or intentional? We may never know. (At this time Charlie has no comment on the matter due to the fact that he has no idea how to form sentences.)

The Verdict: After Mabel seriously bawled for awhile and got the sads out, Mom, Dad, and Mabel decided it was an innocent mistake.

The Cure: Several games of candy land and a nice steaming cup of hot chocolate!

My little bug

Here is my darling Faye! She is of course eating a sucker getting covered in sticky goo.

Here we are at the trunk or treat.

She is so sweet. I call her my little doll baby. I just love to dress her up and she is soooooo cute!
She is getting to be such a big girl. She is 7 months old now. She started crawling at 6 months.

She refused to sit up until recently. Here she is sitting up. She's not in her bug outfit, but too bad. She didn't start sitting up until November 1st, after Halloween. She also officially sleeps through the night. Woo Hoo!!! (Too bad my insomnia is acting up. Can I catch a break?) I love her!!!

When 2 Become 7

How many ladies out there remember the Spice Girls song when 2 become 1? Heh. So here is a picture of my amazingly wonderful and spectacularly handsome husband. Normal, though he may appear, something happens at night that is completely abnormal and unnatural.

You might think that he has just 2 elbows my friends, but no. In the middle of the night when you are sleeping and shifting positions to get comfy, not 1, not 2, but probably around 7 elbows are blocking EVERY SINGLE comfy position. Not cool man. I'm sure there are some knees and toenails in there as well. It's like a barbed wire fence. I'm just sayin'.

Another Birthday?!

Somehow, birthdays at the Teed household always manage to get dragged out for 3-4 days. We had a birthday party for Mabel on Friday. On Saturday she got to pick out presents with the money she got from grandma and grandpa Teed and play with the presents she already got from friends. And on Sunday she got to open her presents from Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa Moran. Here she is with her new cooking set baking muffins for her birthday breakfast.

She is such a cutie! I love her so much and I can't believe she's 4!!! She thinks everyday is her birthday now.
