Our Week...

Here are some pictures from last week! The week started out pretty chilly but by the end of the week the weather was beautiful! We (Kenzie & I....Jeff, not so much) have been getting into the Christmas spirit this week! Kenzie & I have been watching a lot of Christmas movies and reading Christmas books and of course listening to Christmas music! I just love this time of year! Jeff & I also took care of most of our Christmas shopping this past week too! :)

Kenzie playing with her bean tub....

I'm not sure if I ever posted pictures of her bean tub but she loves it! I got the idea from another blog that I follow and just loved the idea! I bought the bin at Walmart and just filled it with beans and some sand toys! It's not too messy...and it keeps Kenzie busy for quite some time! Sometime this winter I want to make another smaller bin of uncooked pasta (I just got that idea this week from the same blog! I wish I could come up with these ideas on my own! hehe).

Kenzie and the turkeys....or also known as "chickens"! A house

few houses down decorates for every holiday and Kenzie loves their decorations! We have to walk by them a few times a week so Kenzie can look at them!
This day was rather chilly so we went for a quick walk just to get out of the house for a bit.....

She sang Ring Around the Rosie over and over again as she walked in circles around a tree...

On Tuesday we went to the library for the story of The Gingerbread Baby!

Before we left for the library....

After the story the kids decorated a gingerbread baby! Here is a picture of Kenzie's cookie!

We also went back to story time! I think this winter we will be spending a lot of time at the library! Kenzie always has fun there, it's a short 3-4 minute walk from our house and everything is FREE! :) She enjoyed story time but she was not the best behaved little one! She picks her nose all the time now and she started doing it during the story...so I just casually brushed her finger out of her nose. Well Kenzie wasn't too happy. She (very loudly) told me not to touch her and got up and stood in the corner, covering her face (when she covers her face she thinks I can't see her) and picked her nose! Yea, I was little embarrassed! I wasn't sure to let her pick or make a bigger scene and make her get back on the rug with the other kids...but at that point who wants to sit next to a bugger picking little girl...esp when this week's topic was GERMS! hahaha!

Here is the little nose picker with her craft....

On another note...we got some Christmas jammies out! :)

And on Saturday we went to Santa's Workshop at the school! We looked through some crafts and had a quick lunch.

Just a picture I thought I would throw in the post....I think she looks so cute walking around all bundled up in her towel! :)

Wow....that seemed like a really long post! :)

Our Week In Pictures....

We painted our pumpkin...

Played with the basket...
And then got "stuck" in it and called for help....hehe

Sat in time out with doggie (Kenzie was actually not in trouble....only doggie was in t/o and I can't remember what the poor pup did!)

Had a Little People birthday party! She did this all by herself....I thought it was too cute! :)

Cuddled in our bed to watch Dora & Diego!

*notice the difference b/t blankets....one is bright pink and the other is well....not so bright! Can you guess which one is the one she brings everywhere?!?!

And lastly, was a princess right up until bedtime....

Fall Fun...

Last week Kenzie & I carved a pumpkin for the 1st time! She enjoyed helping me take the seeds out and popping out the pumpkin's face. She named her pumpkin "Baby Bop".

Playing with Abbie...

They found a ladybug and were glued to it for several minutes!

Playing outside on a beautiful fall day...

Today Kenzie and I attended story time at the library for the 1st time! It has been on my to do list since summer, yet every week I would forget all about it! I am so happy I took Kenzie....she had a lot of fun and we will definitely be going back soon!

Here she is with her craft she made....(a mouth...she glued the teeth on). She was very excited about it..it was the first thing she showed Daddy when he came home from work today! :)

Happy Halloween!

We had a great time trick-or-treating this year! Jeff's mom, sister, and nephew came up from NJ to go trick-or-treating with us! Our village has set trick-or-treating hours and this year for some reason it was on the 30th. Good thing it was b/c Halloween was very chilly! Kenzie was very excited to go out but once we were at a house she wouldn't say "trick-or-treat"....well she would say it, usually when she was walking away and under her breath....don't think many people heard!

Introducing our puppy dog....

And our nephew, Drake the giraffe...

First house....

When she walked her tail would wag....so cute!

We met up with my sister and her 3 puppy dogs and dragon! No, we did not plan the matching puppy costumes! They all looked so cute t/g...wish I had a better picture of the litter! We are missing Sophia in this picture....

Halloween Flashback........

Last year....

Kenzie's 1st Halloween....

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Now that it's over, I am ready for the holidays to start! I was even playing Christmas music today! Jeff was not a fan! :) How early is too early for Christmas music?!?!
