A Triplet Halloween: Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and this year did not disappoint. The girls had so much fun dressing up as Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather (the fairies in Sleeping Beauty in case you aren't up to date with your princess movie characters).  

They have always loved these characters and it didn't take much convincing.  My favorite Mother-in-law made the most beautiful, adorable costumes.  We received numerous, "Those are the best costumes we've seen all night" and "You girls won the costume contest"  and "Y'all are the cutest things I've ever seen"!  And its true, I couldn't stop taking pictures of them.  Not only did they look cute, but they were in character as well.  They called each other Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, and corrected any adult that didn't use those names.  They were pretty adorable.  Here are a slew of photos from tonight.

 They couldn't wait to see themselves dressed up in the mirror.  This is their "first look".

I was afraid they wouldn't keep their hats on, but they did.  They may have sweat more than they ever have, but they knew they had to wear their costumes to get more candy.

Twirling and group hugs.  I wish they could stay this little forever.

Ready to go to the party down the street.  

MBC Halloween 2016.  So much fun spending holidays with wonderful neighbors.

Time to Trick-or-Treat.  This is by far Sam's favorite holiday.  This is the 3rd year in a row that she has led the pack to each house and wasn't ready to stop at the end.  I was so proud they kept their costumes on the whole time.

The girls had so much fun and so did I.  I love watching the joy on their faces.  They said "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you" at each house followed by a "I got some more candy!" from Sam.  Mallory told me when I put her to bed tonight, "Mom, I want to do Halloween again."  My response was about having to wait a whole year and she said, "I'm so excited!"

And Brian to Sam, "You were the cutest tonight."  and her response, "Oh Daddy, settle down."  I love these precious girls and I can't wait until next year.

Perfect Vitamins for Kiddos: Smarty Pants

Recently I started my girls on these new multi-vitamins called Smarty Pants from Hotze Health and Wellness.  Let me just say, they were a hit in my house... with the kids and with me.

If you have read any update on my girls this year, you would know that 2 out of the 3 are the picky-ist of picky eaters.  These vitamins pack a punch with the amount of goodies they have in them... from essential vitamins and minerals to omega-3s, vitamin D, and 4 grams of soluble fiber.  Sam and Taylor won't even let me put veggies or meat on their plates, so it makes me feel a little better knowing they are getting the things they need.  And the biggest thing in our house...THE KIDS LIKE THEM!!! (Mini-dance party going on right now).

A direct quote from Mallory:

"They're good! They taste like apple juice!"

And I asked them, "Are they better than princess gummies (vitamins)?"

All together:  "YES!"

Go check out Hotze Vitamins and used coupon code TEAMPATTERSON for $5 off your purchase.  Our entire family have thoroughly enjoyed having these Smarty Pants vitamins in our house.

Perfect Christmas Gift: Custom Silhouette Ornament

Some of you may know I have started my own little crafting business and it has been a great creative outlet for me.  I can get away from the toddler-ness in my house and do something for me that I love.  Right now I'm doing a pre-order on these beautiful custom silhouette ornaments.  There are so many colors/fonts to choose from.

3 Daughters Design Shop

 Right now the cost per ornament is $18 (until September 25, 2016).  This includes custom design of a silhouette from a digital photo provided, glitter/paint ornament color, vinyl color of your choice, font choice for the Name under the silhouette and 2016 on the back.  So many color/font combinations.

And, duplicates are only $10 (until September 25, 2016).  These make perfect Christmas presents for grandparents or Godparents.  A duplicate is an ornament that uses the exact same silhouette and color/font options as previously ordered.  Click here to order Duplicates.

2016 comes on the back of every custom made ornament.

Another SPECIAL I'm doing right now is buy an ornament and 5x7 silhouette (ready to frame) for only $30!  You can see that at this link.  Perfect for your Christmas tree and then a beautiful silhouette to add to your home decor all year round.

I can't wait to put these up on my Christmas tree this year!
