Happy November! I had to stop myself from writing “10/03” up there in the title. It’s hard to believe that Halloween has come and gone, and we are now counting down to Thanksgiving! I really dislike feeling so behind on everything I want to write about on here, but here’s to hoping I can catch up before we really start the holiday season.
ONE. Yesterday I was helping one of the older girls with something, and then I turned around and saw THIS!
I know, I know, most would say it isn’t a big deal for a 12-month old to pull herself up and stand, but Nella has gone from only rolling to full-on crawling and putting weight on her legs (which she always resisted doing before) in just the past couple of weeks. She decided she has to hit every milestone at once, apparently. Next up, walking!
TWO. Fall is for baking homemade pumpkin muffins… and eating them in the messiest way possible, apparently!
We also made some cupcakes for the church Halloween party! Kaya and Kaelyn were amazed that they could sit and watch them bake through the door once I turned the oven light on. I remember doing the same thing as a little girl.
THREE. Uncle Karl and Kaitlyn gave Kaya a whiteboard/chalkboard easel for her birthday, and this is just a small sample of the many, many works of art she’s made on it. She drew a minion (“with color-changing eyes!”) special for me after I painted our pumpkin to look like a minion for Halloween. I was really impressed with her style and skill!
She also drew a picture of us having spaghetti dinner:
Of course, everyone wanted a photo with the minion.
Kaelyn’s little people are starting to look very good, too!
FOUR. This is what it looks like to go to Food Lion with all three kids! Kaya and Kaelyn think those little carts are the best thing ever, and to be honest, sometimes I do go there just so they can push them around. They are my big little helpers!
FIVE. You didn’t think I’d leave Kangaroo Kids out, did you? Nella has been participating a little more lately and absolutely loves bouncing around with her sisters.
I just love seeing them have fun (and joining them on the slide any chance I get)!
