my, my, miss independent

So I know I have way more of this to come..........but, it was quite cute. I'm doing Lucy's hair yesterday morning, as I brush it she likes to pick out barrettes, pony tail holders..etc. I usually give her the choice of "piggies, ponies, or clips". She choose a pony-tail and I put the front part up. She looked in the mirror at the finished product (we usually at this point talk about how boo-tiful she is), and said "mama, noooooooooooooooo, it needs to go to the side, like Dora".

So we rocked out a half side pony tail yesterday on the top of her head, just like Dora the snow princess. ..............and she was so beautiful!

I have tons more pics to put up.......just haven't made it a priority. The girls are growing like weeds. Lucy can reach up and see onto all of our counters....she jumps like a gymnast everywhere. Kady wants to sit by herself and move...she is almost there. She has a way of wiggling herself to a toy, a half roll, then head down and butt up, kind of like an inch worm. She is definitely determined.

I myself have been busy with many projects around the house. I'm finally getting pics into albums, they go all the way back to May......just have to label them now. I've made an awesome felt board for the playroom. And Jim and I have just switched cable companies--go u-verse--so we have been addicted to TV this week (him more than I). ---but all the while quite enjoyable.

Autumn days

Lucy 29 months Kady 5 1/2 months
Kady's first ponytail!

It has been so fun to explore outside as the leaves change color and fall from the trees. Lucy loves to hear the leaves crunch under her feet. I love the smell in the air.

Trick or Treat

OUr chicky and sleeping beauty!

Lucy would only wear her shirt out for the final event!

Lucy's party at milestones!

We are enjoying every minute of this gorgeous fall weather! Hallloween was packed with a party at daycare, a dinner at the neighbors, and then trick or treating. Lucy impresessed us all with her braveness in walking right up to the door and yelling at the top of her lungs "twick or tweet!" Kady looked so cute as a chicken, but really wasn't all that happy with wearing her costume!
