I totally feel like Fall flew by in a blink of an eye. I mean, I guess it's still Fall but come on... when it snows it feels more like winter. Anyways, here are some highlights of October and November. Of course this season wouldn't be any fun without a good leaf pile to jump into.
Melanie really enjoyed helping Nana rake up all the leaves into a pile and then bouncing in it. BOING!
Lately, Melanie has really been into building things with her hands. We got her some more of these giant legos and she really loves building tall towers with them. I've enjoyed it too because it really makes her use and expand her imagination.
Before Halloween we went to Gardner Village to check out the witches. As you can see in this picture, Melanie wasn't too fond of them at first. Hahaha!
Slowly she realized they weren't real and warmed up to them.
These two. :)
She's getting chubby!
Our little princess was Cinderella for Halloween this year. She decided on that all on her own.
She was sooooo cute!
Rather than carving a pumpkin this year we painted them. Made it a lot safer for a two year old (no knives involved).
Melanie started out her pumpkin with all rainbow colors. Then kept mixing and painting it all together.
So it turned black... Hahaha!
Of course it wouldn't feel like Halloween time without a trip to the pumpkin patch. This year they had cute barn baby animals. Cows, goats, and horses.
She's so cute. I love her. Our little pumpkin.
She searched and searched for the perfect one!
Then she found it!
Just playing in a box full of dried corn kernels.
Sometimes I still can't believe that I'm a mom of two.
We decorated our front yard for Fall. :)
One night we made pizza for dinner and I let Melanie make her very own. She LOVED doing that. She was so proud of herself. :)
Me and my Smalls.
Happy morning baby.
More lego fun. This time we built a horse!
She was pretty amazed that I could pull off building one. Hahaha!
"Wow Mommy, I wuv it!"
Little Anna Banana girl.
What my mornings usually consist of. My two little girls.
Melanie making a weird face and Anna with spit up in her mouth. Hahaha!
Then Halloween day came along and I got to help dress up this beautiful little girl.
A visit to Nana and Tata's house for some trick-or-treating!
Pretty girl all ready for church!
I love this face.
Halloween came and went, then it was time to get ready for Thanksgiving! We made turkeys with hand feathers! :)
CHEESE!!!!!
I made ribs one night for dinner and they were delish if i do say so myself. Melanie thought so too... MMMMMmmmm... good!
Cute baby smiles to melt your heart.
I love this time of year. We just had Thanksgiving and now we are approaching Christmas, it reminds me of how blessed I am to be here and where I'm at in life.
I have a wonderful husband who works so hard to provide for our family. He has made it possible for me to stay home with our young children and I am so grateful for that.
I am so thankful for my babies. Melanie and Anna have given me the best job I've ever had... Being their Mom. I don't get PTO, sick days, or a paycheck from this job. But there is no amount of money can buy you happiness. Especially the happiness that comes from loving a child.
I would do anything for these little girls and their Daddy. They truly make me a better person and I thank them for that.
Next post, coming to a blog near you!
