An Early Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Since mommy has to work on trick or treat night, we decided to have an early pumpkin day. We headed over to the presbyterian church off main street dunedin, and they had set up a pumpkin patch. Grace was amazed at all the pumpkins. she oohed and ahhhed over them, pointing at each one.

so we let her pick out her own little own and got pumpkins for the rest of the family to carve.

We had to dress her up so i could see her in her little purple monster costume. It fit her too well.

Then we all carved our pumpkins. Grace kept trying to eat the pumpkin guts. soooo gross.

She loves pumpkins. It all made my night. It was one of the best halloweens yet.

Next Top Model!

Grace and Mommy recently had a photo shoot out by the pool. Grace was being her cute self until we brought out her blue doggie. Then she just wanted to play on it and push it all around, it was all over after that.

October 12th Baby Steps

Grace turned 11 months today. one month and she'll be the big 1. I don't think walking is too far away. She's standing by herself for short periods of time, and she walks holding mommy or daddy's hand. Baby Elliott is kicking all the time, I'm thinking future Pele, Mike's hoping for a future colts player. Charlie our dog, is um... Charlie. he stinks right now, but i'm pregnant... so he always stinks. He and Grace play pretty well together, unless she makes a bolt for the dog bowl, then he bulldozes her over until she changes her mind. Our house is messy, my fault. Mike's too busy working and giving foot rubs to do anything and i'm too busy working and getting footrubs, and Grace just isn't pulling her weight around the house.
