Backyard Camp Out

Last night was our trial run camp out before we go for Halloween. Lia has never been and we wanted her to be somewhat familiar with what we were doing before we headed out. It was a pretty big success! We all had a great time. Even Jonathan stayed snuggly and slept well. I only had to get up once with the kiddos. Lia went to sleep alone in the tent, which was surprising.

Unfortunately David had to do some work this morning and we slept in a bit. We didn't get to have our campfire breakfast, so I had to settle for foil dinners and marshmallows. Not too bad for a backyard camp out. Definitely looking forward to Halloween!

Ready for Fall...

Our October Fun List is ready! We have a lot of things planned for this month. To make it easier for Lia, not to mention cute, I made one of those signs I see a lot of Mommies doing. I don't have a cricut so mines not as cool. Just a few hand drawn pictures and check boxes. That's honestly about all I had time for anyway!

PS JonJon's a wild bear. Grrrrrr!

Lia Eats!

Last week we had a huge set back in therapy. It was devastating for me. Like all our hard work down the drain devastating...not to mention I felt like a rotten mommy.

This week is a total turnaround. Lia is eating carrot, cheese, sweet potato, turkey meatball, pears, grapes, raisins of various colors. It's nothing short of amazing. I'm one happy mommy!

So here's Lia actually touching a grape before she eats it. Like actually eats it like a normal kid! Blessed!

Busy Bag

So this little gem has been floating around Pinterest for awhile now. Just getting around to it. I was pregnant so I get a pass, right?!?

It's easy. Print out the pictures. Put letters on bottle caps. Voila...game! Being anal as I am, I covered the cards with contact paper. I'm sure they will be loved on a lot.

It's really a pretty cute one with minimal work to make it happen. I like that!

Baby Blanket...

Not in the traditional sense of the word.

Rapunzel

My little Rapunzel loves her hair to be up and different everyday. It gets hard to be creative so I rely on my interweb friends. Okay I actually randomly search, which is why I can't credit this one. But it was easy...so I like it. :)

Prayer Toes

I don't know why, but Jonathan holds his feet like this 90% of the time. I love his little quirky habit. I call them his prayer toes.

My little big girl...

The first day of preschool has come and gone. Lia has counted down since orientation. So when it was finally The Day, she was psyched! She was going to go play dinosaurs with "the kids." I'm not sure if she did...but she did play Dora Castle. Right up ole Princess Lia's alley. To add to today's excitement, she went potty twice while we were out! I'm a proud Mommy!

Here's two pictures. Not good ones because those are on the big camera. One is Lia the line leader, the other is in the car on the way. She had no fear!
