I'm a little late getting the Halloween pictures posted, but here they are. Emily's favorite holiday. Emily was Sleeping Beauty. Abby was a Princess Kitty. Drew was a dinosaur. Emily and Abby had a great time and Drew was along for the ride. This year Em and Abby were running off ahead of us and didn't need us to walk up to each door with them. They managed to hit a lot more houses this way than years past and we still have the candy to prove it. 
Time is flying at our house. Drew sat up for nearly 10 minutes today before toppling over. He loves to sit and pull toys out of a basket just like his sister did at this age.
He's also doing this adorable thing where he gets up on his hands and his tip-toes. Then he'll get back on his hands and knees and move his little bootie back and forth. Love it. And he's rolling front to back now (it had been just back to front for awhile).
I just had to throw this one in here because he's so stinkin' cute.
My beautiful niece Abby turned 4 on October 29th. She had a great Hello Kitty party.
Pin the bow on Hello Kitty.
The pinata apparently had the kids mesmerized.
My sister made the cake - isn't it fantastic? Happy Birthday Abby, we love you!
Another fall tradition - the haunted house at the Children's Museum. We left Drew with gramma so Don and I could spend some one on one time with Em. This was the first year we went during frightening hours. The greeter at the haunted house wanted to make sure we knew it was frightening hours because she was worried about Em getting scared - obviously she doesn't know our little thrill seeker. Em loved it!!!
Em's favorite exhibits at the Children's Museum are dinosphere and the mummies (Mason introduced her to the mummies, we never even knew they were there!). Here is our little paleoentologist at work.
I love this picture...
How lucky are we to have a phenomenal children's museum in our city?????
This was just one of those sweet moments that I wish I could hold on to for eternity. We were having a slow morning and I left Drew and Em to play in the living room while I got some laundry started. I came back and found Em showing her brother a book. I got the first picture before they even knew I was there.
I love being a mom!!!!Well it's time. I've let it build up long enough. Time to let off some steam. It's about the comments - or should I say lack of comments. Yes I'm talking to you. I know - you say you're busy, you only have time to read the post but no time to leave a comment. My rebuttal - it takes a lot more time to write that post than it takes you to comment on it. And who said you have to write a book - "good post" will suffice. Just "hi" would suffice. Then there's the fact that you don't have to comment every time - but for those frequent visitors that have only commented like 3 times, that's not working for me. I thought I would be happy when I uploaded the hit counter and confirmed the site is getting lots of hits which it has - at least 10/day. But I still need to know my work is appreciated. Does that make me insecure - that I need the affirmation? No I don't think so. It's just common courtesy. To quote my friend and fellow blogger Krystal, "I'm just sayin..." And for those of you that don't know me - you hopped over here from somewhere else - please leave a comment too. I'm really not as crabby as I sound right now.
