A Wee Bit Windy…

This weekend we went to Nannie & Grandpa’s house for a fun day of pumpkin picking, but it wasn’t all we had hoped it would be… It was so windy, that we had to wear our winter coats, we all had CRAZY hair, and Emily kept falling down! Thanks for trying everyone- we still had a blast, and we got some great pumpkins!

Pumpkin Picking!

We went pumpkin picking today with mommy & the MOMS club, and it was a BEAUTIFUL day! We got to play with our friends, learn all about how pumpkins grow, go on a hayride, and pick some great pumpkins! We LOVE fall!

My first piano lesson!

I got to have my very first piano lesson today! Mommy is teaching me the notes, my fingering, and I even got to play my very first song! I'm going to be a GREAT piano player... someday!

-Abby





Here is a video of my first time playing the WHOLE song of Hot Cross Buns! It only took me 50 seconds to play it!

Emily’s 1/2 birthday!

Today was a very special day… it was my half birthday! I am now officially one and a HALF! Mommy & Abby helped me celebrate by doing so many fun things today! We met one of our friends at a brand new park this morning, and I had a BLAST playing on all the big kid stuff!

After the park, we took a trip down the road to an awesome farmer’s market, where we got to walk through the pumpkin patch, check out the goats & chickens, and have warm apple cider donuts (that was my favorite part of the whole day)!

After naptime, Abby & I spent the warm afternoon playing outside… I LOVE this weather!

Can you believe I STILL have to have time-outs when I throw tantrums ON MY HALF-BIRTHDAY?!?!?!?

Mommy & Abby each decorated a beautiful half birthday cake for my celebration that we had when daddy got home from work. Can you tell which one was Abby’s??? I LOVED the banana & sprinkles! Sisters know best when it comes to cake!

The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular!

We took one last trip to Sesame Place this season and brought our Nannie to celebrate their Halloween “Spooktacular”! We got to dress up in our Halloween costumes (we’re Princess Jasmine and her tiger, Rajah), and go trick-or-treating in the park! We also got to go on our favorite rides, and see some all new Halloween shows! We had a blast! Thanks for coming Nannie!

We had to follow the clues to all seven trick-or-treat stations… and we found ALL of them!

Emily LOVED the “Not-Too-Spooky Howl-o-ween Radio Show”! She was clapping and dancing along the whole time!

We got to go in two special Halloween mazes, and we found our way through both of them (with a little help from Daddy)…

Nannie wasn’t so sure about going on “Blast Off” for the first time, but I held her hand, and she was fine… great job Nannie!

Of course we started and ended our journey again on a few rides on my favorite roller coaster, “Vapor Trail”. It was Nannie’s first time, and she did great… but she held onto me a little tight!

Thanks for another great trip mom and dad! We had a blast!
