Trick-or-Treat!

We went to University Hospital for trick-or-treating again this year.

Grandma and Grandpa Nincey, Uncle Mike and Uncle Kevin joined us for the afternoon of fun! Brandon was scheduled to work today, but was able to leave his post for just a few minutes to come say hi. Even my very good friend George (who also works at the hospital) came down to chat for a while.

We really had a good time this year, and Kaitlin picked up on the idea of "trick-or-treating" right away! It wasn't long before she was running from table to table grabbing anything she could. (And, as expected, Zoey slept the entire time!)

After trick-or-treating at the hospital, the girls and I headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Nincey's house for even more Halloween fun. Grandpa took Kaitlin out trick-or-treating to all his neighbor-friends' homes. (A proud grandpa can't resist showing off his cute granddaughter!) And then back at home, Kaitlin helped Grandma pass out candy to all the kids.



We had a terrific Halloween and hope everyone else did too! As a responsible parent, I should remind you to inspect all candy for razor blades and poison. Call me overly cautious, but I've already had to eat several pieces to make sure they weren't poisoned...... hehe..... ;)

Boo at the Zoo!

This afternoon we went to Boo at the Zoo with our good friends Tara, Bronwyn, Laura, Braden and Keegan!

The weather was absolutely perfect!

Besides the massive crowds, and Kaitlin's unfortunate bee sting (she's had a rough week!), we had a really good time!

Check out some of the pics!

Halloween Party @ Preschool

We signed Kaitlin up for a couple parent/tot preschool classes this fall. Today was our first class. It was actually a Halloween party and all the kids were asked to wear their Halloween costumes.

Last night before Kaitlin went to bed, I told her about our plans to go to a Halloween party in the morning. I asked her to remind us about the Halloween party when she woke up. Umm.... funny.... she come into our room at 4:00 AM shouting, "Mommy, Daddy... Halloween Party! Time to eat breakfast!"

(Luckily for us, the class did not start that early!!!)

Here are some pictures from the class:

And.....

(BRANDON said it - not me......)

at least her eye matches her costume.

An Absolutely Beautiful Autumn Morning!

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day! The skies were blue, the leaves were yellow, the sun was warm ~ the shade was cool. There was even a slight breeze.

A perfect autumn day!

We spent the morning at Anderson Farms. We went with a huge group of friends ~ (22 of us to be exact!)


We fed the goats......

Sat on the "punkins"...

Played on the hay bale maze...

Milked a cow...


And of course - picked a pumpkin...

We really had a great time at the Pumpkin Farm and can't wait to go back next year!

Scary Halloween Masks

Last night we had another Halloween craft night!

We decided to make Scary Halloween Masks. Kaitlin chose to make a pumpkin mask. Brandon chose Frankenstein, and I made a witch. We even made a mini ghost mask for Zoey!

It was a lot of fun... and now we have our backup Halloween costumes! hahaha...

Happy Grandparent's Day - Sept 7th

♥ Kaitlin wishes all of her grandparents a VERY HAPPY Grandparent's Day!

Thank you for all that you do to make Kaitlin feel special! ♥

Nothin' Yet...

For anyone checking our blog for Peanut Lee updates, please rest assured that there's no news to report.
She seems to be very content in there and has not given me any reason to believe she's planning her arrival anytime soon. :-(

Her official due date is Sept 4th... (but sooner would be better for this uncomfortable, impatient mama!)

In the meantime, please send some labor vibes this way....... after all, it is LABOR day weekend. ;-)
