Trick-or-Treat!

Halloween is such a fun day! We tried to make the most of it - starting the day off at Toys R Us. They did a costume parade for the kids and let them trick or treat around the store. Ky loved meeting Geoffrey, but Savvy wasn't so sure.

We took a lunch break at home with one of our favorite family traditions. Every year we get pizzas from Papa Murphy's in the shapes of jack-o-lanterns. Ky thought that the "Umpkin" was "cute!"

The girls looked great when they were ready to go trick-or-treating. We were so proud of our little Gators - they made it two whole hours before they were exhausted! Savvy couldn't believe her good fourtune and wanted to open all the candy at once. She was too excited to take more than one bite of anything. Ky was equally excited but gobbled every bite of anything she managed to get open.
Oh, how much fun these little girls are.

Bop to the Top

Last week we were among the small percentage of the population that hadn't seen the movie "High School Musical." Honestly, I didn't think I would like it. Wow. I don't think I could have been more wrong. Not only do I love it, but the girls were fast fans as well. In fact, all day long I get asked for "bop bop top." I thought I would share how cute they are when I play it for them. I think they just may get the DVD or the soundtrack in a stocking come Christmas.

Ky's Preschool Party!

Ok, ok... I know this post is a little picture heavy, but she just looked so darn cute. This is our little Gator cheerleader all ready to go to her first school Halloween party. You would never guess that her Daddy grew up in Florida.

The whole class looked so darn cute. It was a trick to try and get all of them looking at once, so this was the best I could do.

They got to make paper spiders (Ky's ended up looking very squid-like), play with black and orange play-doh, make trick-or-treat sacks, and decorate sugar cookies. The cookies were Ky's favorite. She lovingly carried hers the whole way home and gave it to Savvy. She is a great big sister.

Ky took play-doh for each of her classmates. She thought she was so cool handing them out. She sat very nicely for the other kids to hand out their treats. Her teacher told me she had never seen her sit so still for so long. Well duh! There was chocolate involved!


She was so good she got to be the leader in the costume parade. She was very proud!

Only 2 more days and we'll have two Gator cheerleaders going trick-or-treating! I can't wait to get pictures. They have been practicing saying "trick-or-treat" and "thank you" all week...

I am almost as excited as they are!

Rock Star

Our friends came over for "band practice" and since the Rock Band stuff was in use Savvy got to play the Guitar Hero guitar. She was putting on quite a show... she is a little rock star. I asked her what she was playing and she said "Bop-Bop-Top." I think she was trying to tell me "Bop to the Top" from High School Musical. She loves that movie. It's too bad I didn't get a picture of Ky on the drums.

Mail Time!

When we got the mail today there was a special package to Ky and Savvy from Grandma. The girls were so excited. They LOVE to get mail!

When we finally got it ripped open, grandma had made them aprons! Now they can be little Iron Chefs!

Ky's is bright pink and loud... kind-of like her.


Savvy's is soft pink and quiet... kind-of like her.

They love them so much they still haven't taken them off. Ky wants to help "tir tir tir" something in the kitchen right now!

Thanks Grandma!

Pumpkins

I decorated the girls pumpkins today. I tried to have the Ky help, but once she saw the "insides" she said "Ewwwwww!" and ran away. She gets that from her Daddy. Savvy just wanted to eat them, but after one bite she became unimpressed as well. So I took advantage of naptime and did them myself. Savvy's turned into Sleeping Beauty's Castle and Ky's is Malificent as the Dragon. I was pretty proud of myself. The girl's really liked them once they were finished.

Sadly Ky's is so small the candle doesn't make it glow to well, but Savvy's looked pretty cool.

Now we just hope they don't go rotten before the big day!

I was over reading Trish's blog today and she challenged us to find the fourth picture in our fourth folder and post it. So, here it goes...

The picture happened to be from Ty's phone which explains why it is blurry. If you can't tell, the picture is Ky eating prunes. I can't believe she liked prunes, she is now such a picky eater. Ky is such an incredible little girl and I don't know how we ever lived without her. She is such a little spitfire, but also is one of the most compassionate kids I have ever met. We are so blessed she is part of our family.

So, if you are reading this (cough*aprilandheatherespecially*cough) consider yourself tagged. Fourth folder, fourth picture. I can't wait to see it.

Pumpkin Patch

Today was Ky's first field trip. She was so excited that she got to ride on a bus. She loved looking at the window at everything and pointing out trains and cars to me along the way.

Her preschool class all went to a pumpkin patch. It was so great to see her play with her friends. Her and Cameron had a lot of fun in the hay bale maze. He's going to live just down the street when we get to our new house.

They even posed for pictures with the scarecrows.

Ky picked two pumpkins. One for her and one for "sista!" I love how she always makes sure Savvy is never left out.

I'm so glad she is doing so well in Preschool and growing in so many ways. She is turning into quite the little social butterfly. I was really happy when she fell asleep in my lap on the bus ride home though. It made me feel like she's still my baby. Days like this really make you want to make every moment count.

Feety Jammies

To my kids it's one of the first signs of fall. As soon as the nights get cool enough we break out the feety jammies. I just think they look so cute in them, and they sleep better.

Two weeks ago I tried the 18 month size on Savvy and it was fine, tonight they look really tight. She must have had a growth spurt. Not a big deal, but I already packed the 2T ones off to storage for the move. Ty will be thrilled when he gets to go find them tommorrow!

"Our Family"

according to Ky.

For Sale

We have been very busy this past week! Getting the condo ready to sell has been a ton of work, but we are officially on the market and had our first showing tonight. :) We're hoping it sells fast. Here are some pictures from our listing... for those that have been here will be impressed at the amount of stuff we have gotten moved to storage.
