p365- Cysts, Crafts, Camerawoman, Clothes, and a Rainbow!

Nov 1st

So Halloween is over, yet the costumes are still fun!  Miss Pumpkin came home from school and showed us this large bump on her palm.  She had had a few falls on Halloween night while playing with cousins and trick or treating.  After a quick trip to the doctor we learned it was a Ganglion cyst (also known as a Bible cyst- google it!).  It scared Mommy a little since it was so big.  We will learn more when we meet with a specialist in two weeks.

Nov 2nd

Craft time with Mommy!  I was scrapbooking, Pumpkin was coloring, and Sweet Pea asked if she could cut.  This was the first time I let her use scissors and she did great!  Her school allows kids to explore so I'm sure she has been practicing.  In no time I'm going to have two little scrapbook buddies!

Nov 3rd

Pumpkin LOVES to take pictures.  For a few days she had my point and shoot camera and was taking pictures of everything!  Maybe it's time for her to learn how to zoom. . . 

Nov 4th

Another Pumpkin picture!  Papa and Sweet Pea!  I think her skills are improving!

Nov 5th

Again Mommy allowed the girls to color with markers and walked away . . . When Sweet Pea came in and showed me her very pink/red mouth she got a little embarrassed.  This is her "I know I'm in trouble so I'm going to look pathetic and maybe you'll give me a hug instead of a time-out" face.  

Nov 6th

Look who got new clothes?  Apparently they felt the need to put everything on at once and then dance on the fireplace!  At least they will be warm this winter, even if they do not match!

Nov 7th

Daddy called and let us know there was pretty rainbow outside.  Pumpkin and I went looking on our way to pick up Sweet Pea from school.  So pretty! 

Nov 8th

Poor Sweet Pea had a rough tummy day and got confined to the couch. Our first sick day of the school year. . .not bad for us!  I was so excited to have made it through Oct without a sick doctor visit with one of my kids.

Oct 25th

Her first field trip!  They week to the pumpkin patch in Reedley and Daddy was able to go too!  They had a fun day and even got to ride on a big yellow school bus!!!

Oct 26th

Cheap labor!  Sweet Pea loves to help wash windows!  Who cares that her cousins were over. . .she just wanted to help mom! 

 

Oct 27th

Fun with the boy cousins!  Pumpkin and Cousin K-Love (as she calls him!) are such good buddies.  It is fun watching them play together. . .even as they are about to get in trouble right after this picture!

Oct 28th

Our second annual harvest party!  So much fun to have all our family and friends over for this again.  This year it grew. . .and grew. .. and grew!  The girls had a blast and we can't wait to do it again next year!

Oct 29th

Church harvest festival!  Daddy ran his paintball booth and I took the girls around the Trunk-r-Treating area.  They had so much fun!

Oct 30th

Painting Pumpkins!  So much easier for my girls than carving.  Sweet Pea was so focused and knew exactly how she wanted to paint hers. . .apparently purple!

Oct 31st

Halloween is finally here!!!  For the first time we were able to go with ALL of the cousins on Mommy's side.  Such a treat to have everyone together and nice to have the big kids to help carry the little ones.

p365- It's a Superhero! No it's fall! Can you hear the music?

Oct 17th

Look what we inherited!  Thanks mom for the piano! We love it!

Oct 18th

My little Sweet Pea is obsessed with this Elmo puzzle!  She loves to put it together and then take it apart!

Oct 19th

"Mommy I paint!"  My cute little helper found her own way to paint.  We have been busy painting the living area and she has been watching.  Good thing her paint is just pretend!

October 20th

Yummy cupcakes!  Love that little tongue!

Oct 21st

School carnival.  The girls had so much fun together and were so cute.  Every time they saw their kindergarten friends they would get so giggly.  Can't wait to go again next year!

Oct 22nd

Halloween picture day.  After going to a friend's house for studio pictures we went to the pumpkin patch for Mommy pictures.  Sweet Pea doesn't love the studio and so I got better pictures on my own.

Oct 23rd

We were preparing for our second annual harvest party. . .man collecting pumpkins is a lot of work!  Thank goodness the field is close to home. 

Oct 24th

Super hero day at school!  Just say no to drugs!  Who can resist such a cute BatGirl?!?

p365- Bye Bye Pink, Hello Pillows, Why did you paint that???

Oct 9th

The girls pillows for their bedrooms!  I used scrap fabric leftover from other projects.  My first pillows and I'm pretty satisfied with them!

Oct 10th

Homework Homework Homework. . .why does Kindergarten have homework?  At least she still enjoys doing it!

Oct 11th

Another fun day with both girls!!!  This is in the tree outside their kindergarten classroom.  I'm sure I'll be taking pictures for years to come of my kids in this tree!

Oct 12th

My dishcloth drawer has been ransacked!!!!  Apparently every baby needs its own bed and blanket.  This is not an unusually occurrence in our house! Babies babies everywhere!

Oct 13

The girls asked to color and so I got down the markers.  I then went to fold laundry and came back to find this!!!!  She told me she painted her tummy!  Why!?!?!  Miss Sweet Pea is a little mischievous!

Oct 14th

The last of the pink walls.  .bye bye!

Oct 15th

We woke up this morning and I heard a strange sound.  After a minute I realized it was a hot air balloon and it must have been very low over the house!  I threw the girls in the car and we chased it to where it landed about a mile from our house.  So fun!  They were giving ride to kids to go up about 30 feet. . .too bad my girls were too scared (and I was in my jammies!)

Oct 16th

Love these sweet moments!  Reading Brown Bear Brown Bear!

p365- Cabin, Party, Huggy Bear, Books, Sewing, Fair, Parks. . .Welcome to October!

Oct 1st

Cabin fun!  We had a quick little trip to the cabin.  Sweet Pea is my little monkey and daredevil!

Oct 2nd

We were invited to a birthday party at Pump it Up.  The girls enjoy going but like staying together.  This was their favorite place to place.  I thought it was so sweet with the two of them holding hands!

Oct 3rd

Look who has Huggy Bear!!!!  This is the biggest treat in kindergarten and she was dying for her turn!!!

Oct 4th

Sweet Pea is becoming my little reader.  She was attached to this book of Peter Rabbit for most of the month of October.  She took it to school, to bed, shopping, church, EVERYWHERE!!!

Oct 5th

Mommy time!  I managed to sneak in some time with my sewing machine.  I wish I had more time to sew since I love it, but life is busy!  I made pillows for my girls bedrooms.  Don't you love my pinchusion???  Thanks JHRME!

Oct 6th

Gotta love the fair!  My friend LD and I took the girls to the fair on afternoon.  They had a blast looking at the animals and playing in the kiddie area.

Oct 7th

Someone is in heaven eating her Churro!  Love this sweet girl!

Sadly we've missed the park since school has started!  The girls were dying to go so off to our favorite park we went!  Pumpkin loves the big slide!!!

p365- Adios September!

Mommy is trying to teach the girls how to push themselves on the swings. . .however the boys are always willing to push them!  Such good cousins!

Sept 24th

Another oops no picture day!  Here's another cute one from their Jog-a-Thon at school.  

Sept 25th

This school year has brought the sponge curlers to our home.  Miss Pumpkin loves having her hair curly in the morning! Tonight was a special night with both girls in Mommy's bed.  They love this special treat!

Sept 26th

After over a year of this unfinished wall it is going away!!!  So happy!  We put in a new window last August and we are beginning the LONG process of painting the living area.  I'm so excited!

Sept 27th

This is what happens when the girls are home with Daddy. . . I believe I left instructions of "they just had a bath- please don't let them get dirty."  She looks happy though! 

Sept 28th

Things you find in the dollhouse.  My favorite part is our boy cousins had been over on this day so I don't know if it was the boys or my girls who did this!

Sept 29th

Family dinner at Red Robin.  We rarely eat out at restaurants and so this was a special treat (we were heading to buy paint for the living room!).  The girls LOVE Red Robin and their kids menu is just perfect for them.  Miss Pumpkin loves their melon and devours it!

Sept 30th

It's Johnny Appleseed Day!  I love kindergarten. . .I think I should switch grade levels!
