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

Last Week...

...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

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
