Happy Halloween!!

ByKaren
Today was like Holly’s first ever Halloween. Of course in her mind it was because she doesn’t remember Halloween’s of the past even though she’s always enjoyed it. No, it was like she experienced it for the first time today and we LOVED it!!

It all began last Tuesday night when we told her that tomorrow was Halloween and she would be going trick or treating with Jakob tomorrow night. She knew Halloween was coming but had no idea when. She woke up this morning (Halloween) and was crying. I asked her what the problem was and she said that it wasn’t trick or treat today. I asked her what she meant and she said that it wasn’t dark out so it wasn’t trick or treat day. (how cute is that!) So I tried to explain to her that it didn’t have to be dark to go trick or treat and we WILL be going later tonight. She then talked about it ALL DAY LONG. The anticipation.

So we headed downtown Westerly and it was such a FUN night! Holly just loved it so much and so did we. They block off the main street downtown and the store owners all stand outside the stores to give out candy. It was so cool seeing all the little (and big) kids dressed up in their costumes. Allison just sat in the stroller just taking it all in, kicking her feet, and watching all the people. She didn’t make a sound but didn’t fall asleep either! She seemed to enjoy herself too.

OK after all that, here are the pictures of our two little Butterflies. They looked so cute!

Our bigger Butterfly all excited to go trick or treating.
and her wings too!
opps can’t forget the pumpkin basket!
And now our littlest Butterfly. It wasn’t too easy getting her in the car seat, but we did have to take her wings off.
All ready to go!




Allison was having fun too, she just didn’t really know what was going on!

Dora was there too!!!! Holly LOVED seeing Dora there, and she wasn’t even afraid of her!

Holly didn’t want to get in on the picture so here is Allison and Jakob.
You can’t trick or treat without having some of the treats!! Holly’s favorite, lollipops!!!

And a family picture. Mommy was dressed as a mommy and Daddy was dressed as a daddy. LOL
It was SO MUCH FUN!!!

Right before trick or treat was all over they had a parade that the kids could get in on too. Holly wanted to be in it so we did. It was a lot of fun. I was able to catch a little bit on video, not the best but it’s a little bit.

Snow Much Fun!

ByKaren

While Allison napped today, Holly and I went outside to play in the snow. I made a path for her to slide down the little hill right outside the front door, it’s perfect for sledding. She loves doing it but gets a little nervous the first few times, then she won’t stop. She decided to go down on her back so she closed her eyes, just in case it was scary. She’s so funny! We had a good time. Then she wanted to build a snowman. I haven’t made too many snowmen in the past but I think this one turned out really cute. She’s a girl so really she’s a snow girl. We don’t make boy’s in this house, only girls! Daddy’s out numbered…

Getting better……..

ByKaren

Allison is getting better. She hasn’t had a fever since Sunday so the antibiotics are working their magic. She’s been in such a better mood too. I’m glad because she is such a pleasant little baby, it was so sad to see her unhappy. Holly is still doing great in school, loving every minute of it and doing well. We are really proud of her! Isn’t she getting big???

She did GREAT!!!!!

ByKaren

Holly did wonderful sleeping in her new Big Girl bed. It’s pretty much as if nothing has changed. This is a child that can be resistant to change, but she must of been ready to transition because she isn’t even phased by it. And we couldn’t be more proud of her Last night, once again, she went right to bed and slept all night long, no problems in her bed. And in the morning she’s even been staying there until she sees me getting up, then she gets out of her bed. This morning she woke up at 7 and I was hoping she’d go back to sleep but 20 minutes later she was still awake so I got up. But all that time she…

It was very difficult getting a picture of the girls. I may have to dress them again and try once more. They looked adorable anyway. Here’s the best I got.

Weekend Recap (Part 1)…….

ByKaren

We had a nice LONG Easter weekend that began on Thursday when our friends arrived. Jodi and Lil David came to spend a few days with Holly and I because Steve was going on a trip (A trip that once again didn’t happen LOL). Holly and David were SO EXCITED when they saw each other, it was so adorable. They really are buddies and enjoy each other. They had a great time and played so well together, even better than I expected! Holly’s has had some issues recently with sharing so I expected a problem, but she did so well, we had a few issues but nothing like I imagined. I think she was more than happy to share her toys and play with her…
