Shaving Cream Art!

Making a mess can be so much fun - for Molly! We tried out a new "art" project this week and she loved it. We practiced writing words in the mess and learned what colors to mix together to make other colors. Our cat "Oscar" got in on the fun too - unwillingly! I left her alone on the patio for a few minutes to make lunch and went back out to find Oscar running around frantically trying to get all of the green foam off his back. It was the masterpiece she was the most proud of!

Kylie is growing like a weed and all she is wanting to do is stand! She tries to climb up my pant leg if I put her down and stands right up as soon as you put her in the bathtub. Molly is still her favorite form of entertainment and she crawls at warp speed to get in her room whenever she sees the door open. Still NO TEETH and she is ready to eat. I think she would eat a steak if I put one in front of her.

Okay, so I got a lot of feedback from family and friends thinking this blogging thing is a good idea, so I will do my best to keep up with it. We'll see...
We have had a fun week. Molly has developed a new hobby of taking pictures with my camera. I was playing outside with her and Kylie on Thursday and had brought my camera outside. I took a few shots and she wanted a turn, of course. Ever since she has been walking around snapping shots. We now need to learn when and where it is appropriate to take pictures of people (don't worry, I won't post any of those) Good thing you can delete pics easily on a digital camera!
I took Molly to see the new Madagascar movie Saturday evening. It was her 2nd movie experience and we had a great time. We had to get a booster seat for her to sit in because she doesn't weigh enough to hold the seat down and it kept popping up with her in it - pretty funny!
Today we had a birthday party day. We went to a party this afternoon for one of Molly's school friends. She discovered Moon Sand and played with it for half of the party. Later, we went to her cousin Luke's 2nd Birthday Party at, where else...My Gym! I know, y'all never would have guessed! Luke is getting to be such a big boy and is so cute! Both girls had a great time and Kylie loved showing off her new skills, clapping and waving.
Here are a few pics from the week- in the first one, Molly is trying to kiss Luke and he wasn't too excited about it.

Happy Halloween

Hope you all had a happy Halloween! Our day started with a costume parade at Molly's school. It was very cute! Molly loved her long, flowing, RED Ariel wig. The kids all paraded around and marched up on stage for pictures. Molly is such a ham and loved every minute. In the afternoon we went to a friend's house for a little party. She had a baby petting farm and ponies there for the kids. Molly loved all of the baby animals, especially the baby bunnies she got to hold. Kylie was fascinated by all of the animals walking around and sniffing her.

When we started to get the girls dressed in the evening for trick-or-treating, Bob asked where my costume was plenty loud enough for Molly to hear - THANKS BOB. I climbed up in the attic and brought down a box of costumes (left over from all the My Gym parties over the years) and Molly chose a Camelot Princess one for me. I was the ONLY mom walking around the neighborhood in costume. Oh well, Molly thought it was funny!

Kylie didn't mind being in her flower costume and did pretty good riding around in the wagon. She lasted about 45 minutes then went back to the house with Bob to hand out candy. Molly and I continued on until her bucket couldn't possibly hold any more-SUCCESS!
