Trick or Treat

We had a great Halloween! We took our little bee/yellow jacket out to Chick-fil-a for lunch (of course) and then later in the afternoon went to a fall festival for snacks and horse rides. Trick-or-treating was fun too. The only problem was that we had NO IDEA how many kids would come to our neighborhood. Oh my goodness. I bought what I thought was alot of candy and we were out of it in an hour. Jonathan had to sacrifice his pound of Laffy Taffy. I can't even estimate how many came to the neighborhood. Next year, we'll be more prepared!

Fall Festival


Trick-or-treating was so fun. I couldn't stop taking pictures.

Horsing Around

We have been enjoying the milder temperatures-thank goodness! Caroline loves to walk around our neighborhood which is decorated for Halloween. She loves to point out all the inflatable ghosts and pumpkins. Anytime the inflatable is running out of air (and the ghost is falling down), she loves to say, "Uh oh!" The other day she was pointing out the parts of a jack-o-lantern; the eyes, the mouth, the nose. When I pointed to the stem she said, "bow" and I thought, of course! What else would be on a person's head in her mind??! Funny.

We've been having alot of fun pretending to be animals lately. We love to gallop like horses and neigh or hop like bunnies around the room. I look especially crazy but its worth it for the fun and giggles.

Being a big girl and brushing her own hair.

Checking for early Halloween goodies?

Rolling on the floor is super fun right now. Especially if Mommy mentions brushing teeth or putting on pajamas.

Caroline was giving Florence the bear a tour of her room after a diaper change.

We've finally started using the playroom a little bit! Hopefully a trend. Will be a better place to hang out when I get a rug and more seating.

Waking up pictures-I love to capture what I see first thing in the morning when I walk in and she says, "Hi!"

Where has the time gone???

I can't believe it has been so long since an update. Lots has been going on. Mainly, I have been sick.....morning sick!! Cole Baby #2 is expected April 27, 2010!

Here's a first pic:

We are very excited!! I am sure Caroline will like having someone new around to play with. We have cleaned out the future nursery (it was the catch-all room for awhile) and will plan the decor after we find out boy or girl. I have managed to only buy a few toys and gender neutral outfits so far:)

Otherwise, Caroline has been having a blast. Still doing Mother's Day Out, Kindermusik, and we are in 3 playgroups! She loves putting diapers on her dolls. At least 3 times a day, this is what I see.

We tried foam rollers. Looked funny, didn't really work:(

The twins turned 1! We had a blast at their party. I can't believe it's been a year. Double heartbreakers:)

We went to our first football game for Caroline's future school, UMS-Wright. Longest 2 quarters I have ever sat through but we did it. I think she really likes the cheerleaders. Everytime she sees an Auburn symbol she does her version of "War Eagle Hey".

Caroline and I went to Bham for a few days for some fun. We stayed with Tina and Brian as usual and Mom and Dad came too. I could have eaten at Jason's Deli everyday but we only went twice. (love that salad bar!) The best part of the trip for me was when Caroline saw a little boy breakdancing on tv and started doing it too. SO funny. Everyday she goes to school they tell me how much she enjoys music and it's true!

Cousins....Parker got temp halloween hair paint at his school's fall festival!

This is her really, really excited face.




I am on a Junior League project that works with high schoolers at Wilmer Hall Childrens Home. We carved some pumpkins with them...they turned out great!


We made it to the pumpkin patch with some friends and had a blast!








Look at the beautiful cookies we ate!
