10 Year Anniversary

picture taken with timer

Yesterday we celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary. We told the girls that this is the Anniversary of when Team Bisson was formed and that it really is a celebration for our whole family. That being said, we love a good theme party! We decided to include the girls and let them help plan the festivities.

We made a funfetti cake and frosted it and decorated it. I wrote "Team Bisson" on the top. While we were making the cake I told the girls that sometimes wedding cakes had statues of a bride and a groom on top. So they each picked out a statue for the top of the cake. I love that Lulu picked a beautiful princess that so resembles me. Ruthie was happy to pick out this guy she got out of a happy meal...(yes, when you get a happy meal they ask.."for a boy or a girl" I don't think I even need to tell you which one Ruthie requests...The boy toys are so much better she says). These cake toppers would be even more hysterical if it was a shot gun wedding.

Then the girls picked out dresses to wear for the big night. Ruthie's request for dinner was "Pasta Bisson" which many friends would recognize as Pasta Vodka that has been renamed so that our daughter doesn't walk around saying her favorite meal is pasta vodka. Very fitting to the theme.

Then the night was finished off with a trip to our neighbors who still have a VHS so that we could watch a video of our wedding. We couldn't find our video we remember watching that Simon's dad made but were able to see clips of our wedding. And we also threw in some other great family video's from our collection and then some of our neighbor's too! Ruthie later told me she really liked it but Lulu was having too much fun playing with Andrea. Maybe another year for her to get into it!

Halloween is coming!!!

We are really excited for Halloween. The house almost did not make it, thankfully packaging tape can solve all the worlds problems!

We carved pumpkins tonight at I was the only one in the family that would do it as the inside was too gross for everyone! Wimps.

Last but not least. Our neighborhood does this "Boo" activity where a neighbor leaves this witty poem and a treat for you and you have to put a sign in your window and pass on the love to another neighbor at dusk. Well we got booed and shared the love with some neighbors with a little one down the street. But the whole activity got me to thinking..... Halloween really needs to have more activities for adults so I have a new take on it. I am trying to patent as we speak so don't be stealing my idea.


I "Brewed" my neighbor Mike. I re-wrote the witty poem about beer and left a 6 pack and a new ghost picture for the occasion. I really hope it takes our neighborhood by storm!

Fall Fun

The girls and I had a wonderful afternoon in the leaves. We played for a while and laughed and laughed. They were so happy to be outside in warm weather and enjoying our favorite season!

Ruthie

Ruthie is doing so well. She is almost back to 100% since her surgery and she amazes us everyday how well she bounced back. We are still being careful with her as I am sure she is still going to pick things up quickly.

She is such an amazing little girl. She is SO helpful everyday. She loves to get up and make her bed every morning. Loves to set the table at night and is extremely helpful with Lulu. Helps her get her coat on and her shoes. (Lulu may be milking that)

Ruthie feels and expresses every emotion and these pictures sum it up. When she is enjoying something she lights up the room and you can feel her concern when she is deep in thought.

Lulu

Lulu was struck down with flu, then bronchitis and they were preparing for pnemonia (which is her usual course when she gets sick). They hit her hard with antibiotics and hopefully have wiped her bad germs out. We have really been getting tired of all this being home and were grateful for a wonderful afternoon in the leaves.

She is doing so well with school and has really started to come into her own with dance and gymnastics. (Although we have literally missed the entire month of October). She even gave up the Paci cold turkey during our quarantine of Ruthie and her tonsils. She literally walked into the room and announced she was done and has thrown her paci's (which she used at bedtime) and that was the complete end of it. Can you say striving for some attention.

I was so excited to get her hamming it up for the camera since she won't let us get pictures of her.

Pumpkin Patch

One of my all time favorite fall activities is the pumpkin patch. It was a glorious day and we all had a wonderful time picking out our pumpkins.

Kitty's

One of the best things about the pumpkin patch were the kitty's. The girls LOVED the kitty's and wanted to hold and play with them the entire time. While they look totally adorable in these pics.....We have had a long talk and we will NEVER be getting kitty's for many reasons. They can love on kitty's all they want. They are just never going to live in our house.

Apple Picking

I am a little behind on posting some of our fall pictures. We tried to get alot of things in before Ruthie's surgery. We loved the apple orchard. Even if it was a rainy, misty morning. Warm donuts can fix that along with some yummy apple cider. The girls had a great time.
