Pumpkins

By -
This past weekend we drove past a pumpkin patch near our house, and I knew that I had to take Gracie there. I told my mom about it, but she had a meeting and said she couldn't make it.

Isaac got off work around 3, so Grace and I met him down there. The first thing we did was get a caramel apple and a funnel cake.

Isaac and Gracie waited for the people to make them while I snapped some pictures.


The caramel apple really made it feel like fall!!


Isaac really enjoyed his funnel cake. They're his favorite, and this one was seriously the best ever! It was so thick and covered with powdered suger...DELICIOUS!!


We ran into one of our friends there, so were able to catch a quick family photo.


Grace played with some pumpkins and was really fascinated by all of the big orange balls everywhere.


Then we went over to look at the goats. The petting zoo was closed, but Grace still had fun watching them eat hay.


Isaac and Grace searched through all of the pumpkins.


When they found the biggest one, we had to get it.


Grandma showed up and surprised us!


Grace was pretty excited to see her.


We posed for pictures as a horse, cow, and pig.


Then we grabbed one more picture of Gracie with the pumpkins.


The best picture of all came when we got home. We hollowed out the giant pumpkin and put Grace inside for some sweet pictures. Unfortunately, she wasn't as thrilled as we were, but they still turned out absolutely adorable.


 I can't wait for next year when she can walk around and pick out her own pumpkin!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
