Happy Halloween!

I hate to put too much money into Halloween and was glad to pull off three witch costumes for only $2.50 this year. The girls were excited about their costumes and excited to wear them out and about. Macey had a Harvest party at school on Friday, then a Monster Mash on Saturday at school when she could wear her costume. Kelsey and Taylie had a fun Halloween Storytime on Friday at the library and got lots of goodies there. Trick or treating was from 4-6 around here yesterday, which is nice because it's still light out. Here are some pictures!

Fall Fun

(sorry my blogs jump all around...when I realize it's been awhile, I look through pictures and realize they are so random)

This girl loves her picture taken. Everywhere, everyday, all the time.

It's that time of year again...time to rake and rake some more!

This is what our evenings look like around our house. No, Macey doesn't have homework yet, but she wishes she did. She likes Jason to make up math worksheets for her, teach her to draw something new (star, Shrek, elephant, etc.) or enjoys spelling out new words. Sometimes Kelsey joins in with painting or coloring as well, but not as often.

Kelsey got to ride Tucker the other day at Carol's Farm!

Again, Kels begged for pictures so I got out the camera and she was making all sorts of faces. I love this one because it looks like she has attitude. If you know Kelsey, she doesn't know how to get attitude.

There, that's more like it! :)

Taylie at 15 months

Taylie just turned 15 months and here's what she's up to these days....

Still nursing 2-3 times a day

Wears size 3 diapers

Can fit in anything size 6 mo-18 month

If we're home she takes 2 naps a day still

Favorite foods: mac and cheese, cheese of any kind,
yogurt, oatmeal with toast, pizza, and raisin toast.

Can say: Dada, Dodo (Dora), bye bye, ha (hi), pee (please), doNe, pumpum (pumpkin) and Doh (dog)

Loves books read to her, especially Look and Find books.

Favorite "toys" are markers, Lite Brite, card games, and puzzles.

Is obsessed with Barney.

She loves routines. For example, when I say it's time to get Macey off the bus she runs to the door, gets her shoes, wants to get the mail and looks for the bus. When Mace gets off, she runs to take her shoes off into the house, shuts the door and runs to the pantry door for snack and throws it onto her highchair. Same thing with bedtime routine, she RUNS to do the next thing in order.

Still only has 4 teeth.

She's had an ear infection now for a few weeks and we go back tomorrow for another recheck. Since she was up again 3 times last night, I have a feeling something still might be going on in there :(

We go next week for her 15 month appointment, but since we've been at the Dr alot lately, I know she's around 18 lbs which is below the chart so we're constantly trying to get this girl to eat and drink more.

She is definitely an opinionated little girl and knows what she wants. She even threw a few tantrums the other day, which we have not yet experienced much in this house, so we could be in for it with her :)
