Cookie Time

Tonight the Smarts joined us for dinner and then after dinner we made cookies. OK and RS have developed a cute little friendship. It is so fun to watch them interact and laugh at one another. Both girls really enjoyed using the cookie cutters and helping to decorate the finished cookies. OK spent more time eating the decorations than decorating the cookies, but everyone had a great time. Here are some pictures. Thanks to the Smarts for such a wonderful time.

Disney on Ice

My sister was taking CPW to see Disney on Ice and asked us to join them. OK did so great at The Little Mermaid on Broadway that we knew she would love to go. She has had a rough weekend with teething and diaper rash so this was a great treat. I teared up watching them look with amazement. They loved every minute of this wonderful display of Disney characters. The costumes and props were as amazing as you would expect from anything Disney. The show was based on an adventure that Mickey, Minnie, and their pals were going on. They had scenes from The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Lilo and Stitch, and Peter Pan. At the end OK looked at CTW and I and said "I really liked it." She told Aunt KK thank you for the ticket. She clapped during the entire finale. CPW really enjoyed it as well. I think she may want to be an ice skater now. I love having a child so that I can go back and enjoy my childhood all over again. Here are several pictures.

Jumping

OK's new thing is to try and jump. She really thinks she is doing it but she can't quite get her feet off the floor. A couple of weeks ago, I watched the twins while their mom went to the doctor. They are the sweetest and think OK is hilarious. MP loved to watch her try to jump and laughed the whole time.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Okay, so I got fussed at for not updating my blog. There are several new posts so make sure to check them all out. We have been busy so far the fall and I have made sure to take my camera.

Our friends The Smarts, cousin CPW, and Aunt KK came over to go trick or treating. We had a wonderful time. We taught OK how to say trick or treat and of course thank you. She did so good and loved picking her own candy out and putting it in her bag. We enjoyed having company and got to know some of our neighbors. I love having a child because I get to do the things that I loved so much as a child. It is so much fun and so exciting to get dressed up and go out and get candy. I can't wait for Christmas. I hope you all had a great Halloween.

The Fall Festival

Every year our church throws a fall festival as part of the outreach plan to the community. They have inflatables, free food, and tons of games for the kids. We have gone every year since we have been members. OK slept through it last year but she got to enjoy it this year. We couldn't get her to go on the slides or any of the other rides, but she did play the games in the preschool section and ate hotdogs and candy. We had a blast.

Boo in The Zoo

Monday, the 19th we took OK and CPW to the Greenville Zoo to celebrate Boo in the Zoo. We hadn't been before so we didn't quite know what to expect. We had a great time. We let OK walk instead of pushing her in her stroller. She had a blast chasing CPW around and collecting her candy. Only a few animals were out, I guess due to the amount of candy making its way through. It is really nice to live near a city that does so much for the public.

The Pumpkin Patch

A few weeks ago our Sunday School class went to the Pumpkin Patch. We had a great time and enjoyed it so much. The man doing the hayride was little crazy with all the information that he passed along, but OK did well. Here are a few pictures.
