Kraynak's

On Tuesday Justin and I took the girls to Kraynak's - a lawn/garden and Christmas Wonderland Center! They have a wonderful walkway decorated with at least 10 different Christmas scenes to view. They even had Mickey and Sesame Street! Kaelin loved it and loved getting candy from Santa. Hailey loved seeing all the lights, but started screaming the minute we went near Santa! We were not too suprised by her reaction. Here are a few pictures:

Fall Fun

Monday night I made Jello Pudding - Pumpkin Spice flavor (FYI - not that great!). However as you can see below...Hailey and Dominic LOVED it!

Today we went over to Amy and Brad's and 'borrowed' their leaves. **Thank You Uncle Brad for raking them into nice piles for us!** Kaelin and Dominic had a blast. Surprisingly, *sarcasm*, Hailey hated being in the pile!

Hailey did think it was fun to watch the other two playing though - as she wandered around the yard.Kaelin piled up a nice cozy bed - and told us she was sleeping.
I tried to get a cute picture, but as you can see, Hailey was not impressed by the leaves.
Kaelin LOVES walking, playing, burying, throwing etc. She loves the leaves during fall!
Hailey kept doing a dance. She would squat down and say, "Ah, Ah, Ahhh!". I thought it was funny. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Halloween 2009

Our Halloween weekend was BUSY! Friday night we went trick or treating at the Southern Park mall with Aunt Amy and Dominic (Cookie Monster). Saturday we went trick or treating at Papa and Nana Theodore's (Uncle Brad's parents), our neighborhood, and then to Great-Grandparents Howell's (Grandma Barb's parents). Sunday we went into Grove City and saw: Papa Tom and Grandma Barb, Great Grandparents Magee, Great Grandparents Trezona and Grandma Cindy and Papa Keith!

The girls were great with their costumes - I was shocked at how well Hailey put up with hers! Kaelin had a rough night sleeping Saturday - waking up every hour or so - I think due to the SUGAR! It was so much fun this year!

Here are some pictures:

This is not the best picture - but it is the only one I have of the two girls together!

Here are 2 pictures - Hailey poised to run off and Hailey running!

Hailey and Justin were playing peek a boo and I loved this picture!

P.S. I am not sure why blogspot is bolding and underling my captions - but I had to give up fixing them, or I am not going to get a shower before naptime is over! :)

Wacky Wednesday

Here are a bunch of pictures from yesterday. We carved pumpkins last night, so most of the pictures are from the evening activities.

However, yesterday Kaelin spent some time playing in her room. When I peeked in on her, this is what I found:
Where did everyone go? Hmm. It appears the family from her dollhouse relocated to the bottome of her dresser!

After dinner we carved pumpkins. For Hailey this meant simply keeping her occupied! We gave her markers to use for the first time. The pictures are cute-she had a blast! Note- there is a bit of marker around her mouth though, as she kept trying to taste them.

Once the pumpkins were scooped out we let the girls touch and play in it. Hailey wasn't so impressed. Kaelin loved the feeling of the seeds!

While we carved pumpkins, we gave Kaelin two little pumpkins to color and decorate. She used markers and stickers. They turned out beautiful!

Here are the pictures of our finished pumpkins and decor. Our front door has Halloween Princess clingons (Dollar Store!). Kaelin picked our scarecrow out ($4.99!!). Justin carved his usuall pumpkin face - triangle eyes and nose. I attempted a spider this year - it turned out okay.

Updates and Fun

First off - the girls are growing like crazy! Kaelin is still in 4T clothes (barely hanging on to the pant length though), but I just had to buy her 10&1/2 size shoes!!! Hailey is wearing 18 months (and will be for a while I think) and she is in size 5 shoes. She is no longer our chunky monkey - she is a string bean...but she is holding on to her cheeks still :)!

Both girls are doing well. Poor Hailey was sick Monday & Tuesday with some stomach bug, but no fever thankfully! She seems to be bouncing back today! We also had an awesome day of weather here today - 70!!! We spent an hour at the park and LOVED every minute - until Hailey got stung by a black wasp on her hand. She literally grabbed it while trying to hold onto a handrail while going up some stairs! Poor girl - can't catch a break!

We had fun this weekend! We went to Wagon Trails (again!) with Amy, Brad and Dominic. The girls had a blast! Hailey actually held food out and fed some animals and laughed - even when their giant tongues caught her hand!

Here are some pictures from Wagon Trails.
Kaelin and Sponge Bob Hay Bale.

Dominic, Kaelin and Hailey - Our Angels. Not the greatest picture, but I loved the way the light hit!

Baby Zebra was only 1 month old! So CUTE!

Do you think she is having fun?

Check out the tongue!

The past few weeks~

I know I haven't updated in ages! We have been busy, though I can't remember why! A few 'big' events in the last month included - Uncle Brad's birthday and GCC Homecoming.

For Uncle Brad's Birthday the WHOLE family pitched in and got him a PS3 - he was VERY suprised!

Then on October 4th we went to GCC Homecoming. Kaelin had a blast at the parade catching candy, and had her face painted! The girls were exhausted on the way to dinner (so they took a nap in the parking lot at the outlet mall for a while, during which Justin shopped and I played Frogger on my phone)

Here are some other random pictures of Hailey brushing her teeth (she is obsessed with her toothbrush), and the girls princess jammies - as Kaelin calls them, and of the girls snuggling on Hailey's Tinkerbell couch..
