Trick or Treating

This year we decided to take Emma up to the Square for actual Trick or Treating. We have just taken her up to Granny & Diggie and GeeGee & Grandad's houses before. She totally got the idea and would say "tick or teat - two teats pease" when she approached the candy givers. She is totally into two lately. It has to be two toys, two books, two cookies, two pieces of cheese, you get the idea. She will be please to know that she has two cousins now. Peytonn welcomed a baby brother named Bennett this morning!

Pumpkin Patch...one visit, two.

I am so behind in sharing pictures! Our computer crashed on us but we just got a new one and thankfully, we had all our pictures on a back up drive. So here are a few of my favorites from our pumpkin patch visits. The first visit was with Jon's parents to our local Walden Farm and the second was with my family to the Pumpkin Festival in Westfield, IN. It was HOT out for both trips but it is finally feeling like fall weather now!

Emma's Big Girl Room...

We started this project about this time last year. lol My parents bought her a toddler bed because she was attempting to climb out of her crib at 16 months. She hasn't really slept in her room though - she cries and climbs out of her bed. She tends to fall sleep with me in our bed and Jon will move her to her bed after she's already asleep. Lately, she hasn't even been getting carried to her bed at all.

I came up with the idea to paint the lower part of her room green and add a pink stripe along the middle last November. We painted the green part back in like February! We finished the project this past weekend while my parents were in town for Labor Day. My parents bought her a pink Dora bedding set and we hung up a pink curtain too. She is calling it her "Emma pink go-go room." So far the Dora element of her room seems to be working - we're on night 5 of her sleeping in her room.

I found a seller on Etsy that sells cute fabric lined hanging frames and I'd love to get one in hot pink/baby pink fabrics for her room. Maybe a Dora print to go in the frame where the Pooh print is now too. I'm hoping to find some small blossom, butterfly, dragonfly and bee throw pillows to line the shelves to complete the look.

Here are a few pictures:

Hello, We're the Wiggles...

We saw the big red car, all four Wiggles and their Wiggly friends, Dorothy, Wags, Henry and Captain Feathersword. It was kind of surreal since we watch them on DVD all the time. lol It was such a fun evening and Emma loved it!

Emma has been a bit Wiggles crazy for a year now so it was nice to actually "see" them in concert this year. I think Jon & I had as much fun as she did! We had been telling her about going to see the Wiggles for weeks now but she would just go grab a DVD. She definitely "got it" last night! I am sad that it has already came and went...

Hey Jon, wanna go again if they add Indy to their fall schedule??






We have the new DVD coming out on Tuesday to look forward to! :)
