Trunk of Treat 2010

This year the girls decided to be Jesse and Abby Caddaby! I do have to say they chose perfect costumes. This year I helped work the Trunk or Treat so Nana and Papa had the privilege of escorting them around. Thank you Nana and Papa! The girls had a blast playing games, jumping on the bounce houses, and getting lots of candy! I plan on getting more close up pictures of the two on Halloween! Trick or Treat......

Where does the time go?

I didn't think life could get busier with a child in school. Boy, was I wrong. Where did the days go where I had Alexandra all to myself? When we could get up whenever we wanted and mope around the house until we were ready to go somewhere? Make doctor or dentist appointments any time and day of the week? I never understood how fast time flew by until we had kids. It is hard to believe 5 1/2 years ago God blessed us with a beautiful baby girl and now she is in Kindergarten. At the beginning of the school year, Alexandra had a terrible time with leaving me in the mornings before school. Alexandra finally let go and walked down the K hallway by herself with a smile on her face. Oct. 14. I am so PROUD of her. It was like the first day of school for me all over again! Seeing her walk down the hallway by herself and being so happy!

Alexandra has the sweetest friends! They know each other from dance, choir, and sunday school. Brooklyn and Grace were so proud of Alexandra that they greeted her with balloons and cards at choir Wednesday! Alexandra was so very excited to see them and so proud that those big balloons were hers. They made her day! She is blessed to have such thoughtful friends. They are like 3 peas in a pod. They spent the entire summer together having slumber parties at each others houses! I can't wait to see that friendship blossom! Not to mention, the mothers have a unique friendship, too! Thank you ladies for making my sweetie feel so special!!

Fair Day

Wednesday was Fair Day for RISD. Alexandra was thrilled to stay home and spend time with her family. We are not really big on the fair so we decided to take the girls to the Arboretum for fall pictures. The girls had a wonderful time running around and seeing the pumpkins. They enjoyed playing in the hay and being free. Not sure why the first few pictures are so small but they are. We are loving this cooler weather and plan on making many more trips to the Arboretum this year! Alexandra took the first picture! She had so much fun and wanted to take a picture of everything. Great job Alexandra!

School Carnival

This past Sunday Alexandra's school hosted a Carnival! We all had so much fun!! There were lots for the girls to do. Bounce houses, face painting, bing bag toss, hayrides, duck pond and lots of junk food to eat. We even spent some time on the playground. Needless to say, the girls were very east to put to bed that evening.
