Fall Festival




The church where Caroline goes to school had a Fall Festival last night. We threw together a makeshift princess costume last minute with a littl help from the basket of dress up clothes that Grammie gave her. Caroline had a lot of fun with the bounce house, pony rides and games. She did not, however, like the slide and made that very clear when she finished and then again when we came home and she was telling daddy about it. One funny story--- there was a little boy dressed up in a costume that had a robin's egg blue ghost-like mask and cape. When Caroline saw it, she completely stopped in her tracks and just stared at him, clinging to my leg. Once we were walking around again, she then started saying "see the worm, see the worm". Finally, I figured out she was calling the blue costume a worm. She even came home and told Chris there was a worm at the festival, and then kept asking to "see the worm" the entire car ride to school this morning. Posted by Picasa

Dressing Up Like Mommy

Caroline put my shoes and hat on "all by herself" and walked around the house, laughing at herself and cracking us up in the process. She still loves to wear our shoes and calls these "mommy's essasisin' shoes" (exercising shoes).

2nd Annual Pumpkin Farm Trip


We went to Guthrie's Pumpkin Farm again last Sunday. It was a fun trip! Caroline really
enjoyed all of the activities and was able to pick out her own pumpkin from the patch. Catherine
was her usual smiley self and just took it all in, riding around in the Baby Bjorn.

Hugs and Giggles

First, hugs.... Caroline and I were outside playing this past Saturday afternoon when, out of the blue, she says/sings "Jesus loves me" and wraps her arms around herself in a hug and points to herself when she says "me". I asked her if she learned the song "Jesus Loves Me" at school and she said "Yeah". So, I started singing the song and she filled in the gestures on cue. It was really sweet!

And now giggles... On the same Saturday (10/4), I was holding Catherine out on the screened-in porch. I lifted her in the air just above my face and started smiling and talking to her, and she started giggling. It was the cutest little sweet giggle and made me laugh out loud every time she did it.

My girls gave me a lot to smile about that day!

Doctors Visit x 2

Caroline and Catherine both had doctor's appointments yesterday-- Caroline's 2 year appt. and Catherine's 4 month appt. They both got boo-boo's (shots) and both handled them like champs!

Catherine's stats: Weight= 14 lbs 4 oz (75th %-ile) Length= 26.5 in. (95th %-ile)

For comparison, Caroline was 14 lbs 12 oz and 25.5 in. at 4 months.

Most importantly, they both got a clean bill of health!
