Merry (early) Christmas!

I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but we practiced and practiced our routine and couldn't wait until December to share. Enjoy and Merry Early Christmas!

Halloweek

Yes, that's HalloWEEK! Kaylee's Kindermusik class had a dress-up day on Wednesday, then we trick-or-treated on Halloween night, then had a dress-up neighborhood fall festival on Sunday. She wore her GT cheerleader outfit on Wed and Sun, and was a cute little bear on Halloween. Worked out well, laundry wise. Didn't have to rush to wash anything for re-wearing the next day. Hey, a girl's gotta have options... On to the photos!!

Kaylee & her cousin Nate the monkey. She had to be restrained from going back for 4th's (5th's?) at one house! She was being encouraged to take all the candy - think someone didn't want leftovers!


Kaylee's Hello Kitty treat bag is from Baba (Grandma Barb). While we were out we saw 4-year old Kayleigh (she lives down the street) and she, too, had a Hello Kitty treat bag! Same style, but a white one. Thought it was funny that Kaylee & Kayleigh (pronounced the same) had similar bags.

Elmo...the headless trick-or-treater?!?? :)


Neighbors trick-or-treating: Lane/Elmo, Mason/dinosaur, Shaun/puppy, Kristin/Dorothy, Kaylee/bear, Hunter/Batman & Mackenzie/Batgirl


After trick-or-treating, checking out all her loot! The fam at the neighborhood fall festival in our coordinating GT cheerleader & fan outfits.


The one photo she posed for that day, and checking out her new witch tattoo she got at the festival

Mick-O-Lantern

Kaylee picked out our pumpkin carving design and I made it happen. No photos of the process as it was just the two of us, but she watched while I carved. I had her stick her hand in the pumpkin when I was scraping out the guts, but she wasn't too interested in helping with that part. She called it messy, watched for a bit then left for bigger and better things (i.e. toys and books). Here are a couple photos of the finished product.


And a couple more fall photos from Sunday...

Enena teses

Kaylee has asked to see "Enena teses" (Elena dancing) every day for the past week, ever since the video of her cousin at a baby disco was posted on Elena's blog. See for yourself... (In between asking to see Elena, Kaylee thinks I'm just taking a photo and poses saying "cheese." :) )

Getting down to business

Working from home, where every day is casual day...

Pumpkin Farm: Take 2!

This morning we went back to the Kinsey Family Farm with my cousin's wife Margaret and their 15 month old son, Nate. Basically the kiddos ran around a bit, we took a hayride and fed the fish. It was chilly out, but seemed warmer than during our visit last weekend!



So the photo above is a fraud; would you have guessed? I didn't actually get a very good shot with them both looking at the camera, so I combined the two photos below...not too bad of a job... :)






After the farm, we all went to lunch. Here are some cute shots of Nate. Love the one in the middle..."hey, baby, what's your sign?"

Foray into Photography

As I've mentioned, Kaylee loves to get my sunglasses and pose for photos. Yesterday was no different - she takes them, puts them on and says, "more Kaylee cheese!" Then stands around saying cheese for me to take her photo. I did that again yesterday, then took the sunglasses back and she said, "Mommy cheese." So here are the photos of her in the sunglasses, then the ones she took of me (among various other things). She thought it was a riot. :)
