Fall Festival

We took Kate (and Brynlee) up to Prestonwood's Fall Festival tonight.

Kate as Abby, carrying her Abby doll, excited to play games and eat candy...
Walking in with Daddy...

Our first stop was the petting zoo...Parker took her in and I wasn't close enough to get any pictures.

Sharing M&M's with Harper. After giving her 2 M&M's she looked at Parker and said, "last one..." meaning she was done sharing her M&M's.

Brody, Harper's brother, who is 10 days younger than Brynlee, and Brynlee sleeping...

Our next stop were the inflatables. Kate saw this huge Noah's Ark Obstacle Course inflatable and immediately walked right in. We didn't even have time to give the lady tickets. She was already inside jumping around...

She LOVED it! I didn't think we were going to get her out of there.

Parker watching Kate do another inflatable. This one had a rope ladder type thing to climb and then you could slide out the back.

Coming up the rope ladder...

And sliding down...

Before she even got to the bottom she was saying, "AGAIN." I think she did this one 5 times. She did not understand the concept of waiting in line either. She would just run back to the front and confidently climb in.

Then we to the games. The lines were starting to get long (and Kate had no concept of waiting)so we didn't play many.

This was called Bubble Mower Races. The object of the game is to push the mower to the end of the fake grass, u-turn and come back. As you can see, Kate didn't quite understand the rules...

Had Daddy not stopped her she may have mowed right through the game next to it.

Back on track...

Kate eating candy with Daddy.

Kate had a blast and came home on a SUGAR HIGH after who knows how many fun size bags of M&Ms, Skittles and Reese Pieces...

3 weeks

Brynlee is 3 weeks old today! She is doing great. So far she has been a great baby. She is sleeping pretty well at night. She usually goes one 4-hour stint around 12 am to 4 am. Other than that she is still eating every 3 hours. She usually goes right back to sleep after I feed her at night...although we have had a few long nights of her being up. During the day she only cries if she is hungry, tired or being bothered.

Brynlee at 3 weeks...she wasn't really in the mood to take pics. All she wanted was her paci so she could go to sleep.

And I think we have another paci addict on our hands...

And just for fun...here is Kate at 3 weeks...

Costume Playdate

Ashley, Anna and Graham invited us over for a Costume Playdate this morning. All the kiddos looked so cute. Here are a couple of group photos...

Brady the Cowboy, Harper the Ladybug, Graham as Andy, Kate as Abby, Anna as Raggady Ann, Conner as Boots (from Dora) and Mackenzie as Dora...

We tried to get the babies in the group photo...Kate wasn't interested in holding Brynlee, but Anna did a GREAT job.

Raggedy Ann, Brynlee and Boots...

Costumes 2010

We had a Costume Playdate this morning (more on that later) so I got the girls dressed up in their "Fall Festival" costumes.

my friend Wendi gave me this outfit and I LOVE it!!!

Happy Halloween from Bryn and Kate!

Orange Meal

Today we had our annual Orange Meal...

It was a little different this year. I made an open face pumpkin shaped grilled cheese with cheetos, oranges, peaches and a pumpkin cookie...

Kate eating her grilled cheese...
can you tell she had just been crying? I told her she had to wait to eat the cookie after she ate her lunch...Small meltdown ensued...

Drinking orange juice...not a huge fan. She asked for water after a few sips...

All smiles now that she is eating her cookie!

Tummy Time

Brynlee doing a little tummy time...
You can't tell in this picture but her head is off the ground...barely.

Chilling on the play mat...

Kate playing with Brynlee...

Kate wants a playmate so bad...

Poor Bryn...it is never too peaceful just laying on the play mat. Kate is either shaking the bars, pulling animals in her face, or taking up 1/2 the mat doing tummy time with her.
