Pumpkin Patch 2013

Sadly when we went to our favorite pumpkin patch there were 10X as many people there as we have ever seen. We knew it would be completely miserable so I immediately started googling on my phone. I found a church with a pumpkin patch near our house and off we headed. Unfortunately we quickly learned that Quinn is fascinated with hay & grass so pics were hard to come by but we gave it a shot until she couldn't take it anymore.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

The girls had so much fun with this idea and ran with it!

At the Ballet.......................

A friend posted about a special performance that the Houston Ballet was putting on. It was only $10/ticket, 45 minutes long & in a small intimate venue. I thought that sounded like the perfect way to introduce Reagan & Abby to the ballet. I surprised the girls and only told them that they needed to dress up. We headed downtown and just as we were about to park Reagan spotted a sign and guessed where we were headed. They were SO excited. The set up was wonderful and only had about 7 rows of seats and the audience was full of kids. It was the perfect introduction for them and they loved it. Afterwards they had a Q&A for the kids and then a few of the cast came out for pictures.

Little Red Riding Hood

The Big Bad Wolf (Abby wasn't going near him!)

Puss N Boots!

And of course on the way back to the car we had to take pictures along the way.

I'm so glad the girls enjoyed themselves. Now they are seeing commercials for the Nutcracker and are asking to go!

Abby's Halloween Parade

I love the little parade that the kids get to do in their costumes at Abby's school after their fall festival. They have such a great time and I know Abby was so excited to put her costume on for the first time. I only got to snap a couple of pics but I was able to get a couple of pics of Abby and her BFF Emma Kate.

Quinn's First Tea Party

Abby was so happy to host Quinn's first tea party. They were so cute sitting on the blanket. Abby was a little annoyed because Quinn wouldn't play the way she wanted her too and refused to hold the tea cup correctly but they still had a nice time. I see many tea parties in the future.

First Tooth Fairy Visit

Reagan has been waiting for the last year to lose a tooth. Finally in September she got a wiggly tooth.  Sure enough a month later she let Dad wiggle her tooth around since it didn't want to stand up on it's own and it popped right out. She was so excited!

And of course she was even more excited the next morning. She's still planning how to spend her money.

Not to worry she's already got another loose tooth! 

Quinn - 7 months

And just like that another month flew by.

- Sleep is getting better thankfully.

- She's having a lot more fun playing with toys. Especially those that are not hers.

- She has her 2 front bottom teeth. And boy are they sharp!

- She appears to be no where near crawling thankfully.

- She survived her first weekend without Mom.

- She is still 100% Mama's girl.

- We haven't found a food yet that she's refused.

 This happens all day every day. 

Always has her hands in her mouth. 

 I think the blue eyes are staying. Sorry Abby.
