Halloween

Well here we are at the season for haunting! I am so excited to get the kids all dressed up in their costumes this weekend for the many events they have scheduled. Their parade is tomorrow and I cannot wait to see my little princess and little monkey walking among their friends and enjoying the day. This weekend the kids are booked with Halloween Activities and I know they are going to remember this Halloween for years to come. They are both at such a great age now. I love this time of year, and I love this holiday!!

More Halloween

On Halloween I picked Kiki up from daycare early and we came home and made pumpkin and bat cookies. She had so much fun using the cookie cutters and making the cookies. She was cracking me up. She kept smiling at all of her creations and rolling the dough back up and starting all over again. After many remakes I was finally able to get them into the oven. She loved eating them as much as she loved making them. The cutest thing was when her daddy got home and she got to share her cookies with him. She loved his enthusiasm over her creations. She is so cute!!

HALLOWEEN

Hello All:

It has been awhile. I lost the cord to the camera to download pics and that has been my main delay. So, here I am with a lot of pics to share. I will share a little at a time since I want to focus on each special event in Kiki's life. The pics I am sharing today are from Halloween. Kiki was the cutest little butterfly. She loved her costume so much that it has now been added to her dress up clothes. Last year was her first Halloween and she was not a fan of the whole dress up idea. This year it took all my energy to not let her go to daycare in her costume every day before Halloween. She could not wait to wear the costume in front of all of her friends. I had to hide the costume from her so she would stop asking to put it on each day. She is so funny.

She also loved trick or treating. We worked all week on what to say and she had it down. When we got to the doors she went completely mute, but she had no problem grabbing her candy out of the candy bowl, throwing it in her bag, grabbing her daddy's hand (without saying thank you first) and heading to the next door. Once we got home she ran to the couch and emptied her bag to check out her loot. We were cracking up. Lollipops were her favorites this year. She also loved giving candy out to the trick or treaters. We each had our own baskets for the kids to choose from and she loved that idea. She likes to feel like she is part of the whole thing. I have to say Halloween was a complete success for us this year.

Here are her pics.

October Already!

The weeks feel like they are going by slow, but the months are flying by. Does that even make sense? I just cannot believe it is October already. Kiki, Z, and I have been so busy with life and getting things in order of our life that we did not even realize that October appeared. We haven't even gotten our Halloween decorations out yet. I just bought Kiki's Halloween costume last week. She is going to be a butterfly. She LOVES the costume. I will post pics after Halloween.

I must say I do love this time of year. I liked it better when it was cooler out; this hot weather is annoying me. Regardless, I do love the fall. The leaves on the trees are beautiful. The ones on my grass however are annoying. What can you do, it comes with the month. Our neighborhood is full of trees (minus the one that fell on our house this summer) and so the leaves are abundant this time of year. My neighbors and I have sat out and complained about it together while we are spending our free time cleaning them all up. The good thing is that Kiki has her own rake and she loves to rake leaves. She doesn't get much, but she has a lot of fun.

Well those are my thoughts on October.
