This should've been posted a while ago (but I am a huge slacker lately). In October we went up to Disney with our friends Megan and Matt (and their kids Jack and Drew). We had a lot of fun and the kids were great!! (Bonus!!)

Somethings is wrong with blog spot and it will not allow me to move pictures/text around..sorry

TV and sitting

A little background..Kelsey only watches a little TV. About 20 min in the morning b/w drinking her milk/snuggling and me getting dressed, maybe 10 min in the afternoon while I shower and then sometimes about 15 min while drinking her milk before bath.

I was exhausted this morning (Kelsey woke up fussing at 5:45 and the mom in me, who would normally let her put herself back to sleep, heard something different in the cry so I jumped out of bed and ran in to her room. She was fine, but needless to say it took 20 minutes after her seeing me to get her to go back to sleep). When she woke up for real at 8:30 we tried to let her sit in our bed and watch TV with daddy, but she kept climbing on me. So, my wonderful husband took her downstairs and let me sleep a little more. When I came downstairs later to help with breakfast the TV was on. (no biggie) While I was feeding her, her eyes were glued to the TV, so Lou turned it off. After breakfast she kept pointing at the TV that's off saying "TV" and then going over to the couch and say "seat, seat" (that's how it sounds when she says sit) and would sit on the floor. Lou heard it and said earlier he told her she could only watch TV if she sat on the couch with daddy!! So cute...yet funny because she really doesn't get to watch it that much.

We're in trouble now...

Today Kelsey learned how to climb up on the couch all by herself. She then stands there, bounces a bit and says sit sit. Eventually she does sit down. I know this is going to be followed by bumps on the head when she falls off, man toddlers are always on the move..... (and smart to boot)

Halloween...

Today was a great day! We started by going to a party with all of our friends at Music and Movement. All the kids dressed up, there were snacks galore and Ms. Denise set up a cute little picture area for the kids (parents). I was a little worried that Kelsey wouldn't like wearing her costume, but she loved it, and even wore the hood part of it without fuss.

Lou has class this weekend, so we ate an early dinner and got Kelsey dressed to go Trick or Treating. We took her to our one neighbors house (Mr. Lloyd and Ms. Brenda). They were so sweet. Brenda had a bag of grapes for Kelsey and an entire bag of goldfish, since she knew Kelsey doesn't get junk.

Daddy getting Kelsey ready to go out

First time she looked in the mirror while she was dressed up. She was quite amused.First stop..Ms.. Brenda and Mr. Lloyd's We then went over to my friend Carla's neighborhood where we met up with a bunch of families from my moms' group. Kelsey had a good time with her friends. While she didn't quite catch on to holding her pumpkin out for candy, she enjoyed seeing all of the real pumpkins people had outside.

Keep dreamin' child....

My friend Megan and I with Kelsey and Jack Kelsey had her milk on the return walk

She's a baby again...

With the cold front we've been having here, we put Kelsey in some footie jammies!!!! Yeah, she looks like a baby again. (well not really, but I can still pretend)

A gift from Gramma....

After Gma McD read the post about us buying a pumpkin she brought a gift over to Kelsey the next day. She was waiting in our driveway with it when we got home from our playdate. Can you guess what it was??? :-)

Just her size!!!

Pumpkin Witch Carving

This is by far the most intricate pumpkin we have ever carved. Lou started by tracing and poking pinholes in the pumpkin. Then we got out the dremmel to cut away at the outline.He then used a knife to do the rest of the carving
Kelsey really liked the pumpkin when it was all lit up!! Even once we went inside, she kept going over to the sliding glass door to look out at it.

At home with the 'kins....

Since we couldn't buy a baby pumpkin at the church, we decided to buy her a smaller pumpkin at Wally World. (We also got her a collapsible pumpkin to trick or treat with)

She really wanted to pick this pumpkin up and carry it like she did at the church, but it was a little heavier.She did manage to pick it up by the stem a little.After we finished playing, I put the pumpkins up on the counter and Kelsey finished her milk. Then as Lou was walking her to go up for bath, she went over to the counter and pointed and said her version of pumpkin, then went over to her playmat and said sit and sat down. So we took the pumpkins down and she played a bit more and then asked daddy to read her Halloween pumpkin book.

Pumpkin Pickin'

Since we live in South Florida it really shouldn't be called picking but rather choosing and picking up off a pallet. Anyways, we took Kelsey to go get our pumpkin today and to take pictures of her with the pumpkins. This is something we forgot to do last year. She has really liked our fake pumpkin/jack-o-lantern that we have in the house and knew exactly what they were on the pallets.

This is the pumpkin we decided on....The area that had the little pumpkins was off limits. The church was giving them to the school kids. A little girl chased us down because Kelsey was carrying one. I knew theat we couldn't buy one, I just wanted a picture of Kelsey with them.

Look at the pout on her face.....Daddy gave her a shoulder ride to the car. This made her very happy!
