Halloween 2008
Emily had a bad cold the whole week leading up to Halloween; she had to stay home from day care and everything. So we didn't really plan on doing anything for Halloween - but then Halloween turned out to be a lovely warm, Indian-summer day - so we went ahead and took Emily to the Fall Festival at our church. Our Life Group was in charge of running the bouncy-thing, and Emily loved it!
Our Life Group decided to dress up 80s-style for our costumes. I put Emily in a vintage t-shirt, jean jacket, and legwarmers. The blue-jean skirt I found for her turned out to be too big...and the whole thing didn't really translate as a costume - but she looked cute, just the same.
Ketchup is a vegetable, right?
Emily has learned my old trick - and without any help from me!
Mom used to tell me that I would take a french fry, dip it in ketchup, then lick the ketchup off and re-use the same fry until it fell apart.
We went to Dixie Dog this afternoon, and she perfected that move. She had her choice of hamburger, zucchini strips, and fries - typically she would eat all of that. But today she figured out that she could stick the french fry in her dad's ketchup, lick, and repeat.
Laughing Sheep Farms
The weekend before Halloween, we went to New Mexico to visit Nana Jo & Grampa. They took us to see a real pumpkin patch in Lincoln, NM. It was so cool! I got to see the pumpkins growing, and there were some that were little enough for me to hold. Mama and Daddy picked some to take home with us. I'm so excited - I just love pumpkins!
Big Girl with Pigtails
No, Emily hasn't suddenly morphed into twins - I just had two really cute pictures and I couldn't decide which one to use, so I put them together.
We picked her up from daycare this afternoon, and I almost didn't recognize her - her teacher had put her hair in pigtails, and she looked like such a big girl! My Baby Emily is now Little Girl Emily...
So anyway, when she sat down in the front door to "color paper" (her all-time, favorite-ever thing to do these days) I had to get a picture, so everybody can see what a big big girl we've got now.
Owie
We picked Emily up after church this morning, and found her with tears streaming down her face! She'd just done a faceplant on the Baby-Room carpet, bonked her head, and knocked all the skin off the end of her nose. Poor kid...
Next Sunday is Moving-Up Day, and Emily will go to Sunday School in the Toddler Room!

Random Cuteness
Mama has had a hard time finding time to put pictures up here. See, Mama used to just go to work in the middle of the day (between my morning and afternoon naps.) But now she's at work all day, just like Daddy - and when they come home everybody is always hungry so they have to fix dinner. And then they have to work on their school stuff. Mama keeps saying that one of these days she'll catch up, and then she'll be able to get more stuff done.
Anyway, here are some random pictures of me being cute, that she thought everyone would like to see.
This is Daddy giving me my first-ever typing lesson!
This is from our vacation. My chair had to go on the floor,
and I decided it was time to go, before I got unbuckled.
This is me and Daddy playing with the Hoop-ti-Doo...
which somehow ended up on my foot.
And the last picture is me playing outside with Mama and Daddy.
They were playing something called "Bocce" and I was playing with my Smiley Ball.
Mama says this is one of her favorite pictures of me.
