I Had to Do It

By -
Even though we already spent a whole day at one pumpkin patch, we had to go to the one closer to home as well.

We took Grace there last year and wanted to let her run around and get some more pumpkins this year.

She got all dolled up in her Minnie Mouse costume and went straight for the pumpkins:


Grammy came with us and helped Grace pick out some pumpkins:


Then we played on the haystacks:


Later, Daddy took Grace in another petting zoo. This time we came away with no turkey bites:



Grace also got to go on her very first pony ride. This kid doesn't show any emotion when it comes to this kind of stuff:


Before we left, Daddy took Grace to the top of the haystack:


After we had all of our humongous pumpkins picked out, Isaac loaded them up (along with Grace) in a wheelbarrow and took them to the car:


We got home and took a nap. All that running around really wore us out.

When we woke up, Grace had a blast playing with the pumpkins:



She wasn't too happy when I put her in one though. 

I had to do it:


She's making the same face as last year!

A little later, we had some people over to carve pumpkins.

Even little Tenley stopped by:

Isn't she so sweet?!

Once they were all gutted, Isaac decided to put one on his head:


He's still a kid at heart.

Only Kasie, Isaac, and I lasted to actually carve them since we started so late.

They turned out pretty awesome:


Isaac's:

Regan from The Exorcist

Kasie's:

Michael Jackson in Thriller

Mine:

A Halloween Owl

...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...
