Trick-or-Treat

Before heading out to trick-or-treat, Dan carved a pumpkin while Sylvia ate dinner. She decided the jack-o-lantern (designed after her with 6 little teeth) was hungry and tried feeding it some cheese.



Our neighborhood is not highly populated as of yet, so we didn't stick around for trick-or-treating. Instead we took a road trip to Ben & Katie's, Grandma & Grandpa's, Thad & Katelyn's, and Nana & Papa's. We did make one stop next door when we got home. Sylvia scored some teddy graham's, gerber puffs, and applesause...as well as a few candy bars for mommy & daddy.







With day light saving time coming up we've been keeping Sylvia up past her normal bedtime of 7:00. We were going little by little the last few nights, but tonight she didn't go to bed until 8:15 because of trick-or-treating. We'll see tomorrow morning if it's working or not or if she just wakes up at 6:00 anyway. We don't want her waking up at 5:00 on Sunday morning.

Happy Halloween

Bumbles and George the Monkey

Here they are again...Sylvia & Henry. They'll both turn 1 on Thanksgiving.

Grow Happy

Our friend, Laura, made this and posted it awhile back. I liked it immediately and recently asked if she still had it or could make another. I wanted to buy it for Sylvia's room. She generously gave it to Sylvia as a gift and also gave Dan & me a welcome home gift. You can take a look at some of her other work along with her mom's and sister's at Things with Wings Art Journal.



As you can see, Sylvia liked her gift. It is now sitting on the shelves in her room and not in her toy bin.

Room with a View

This is Sylvia's favorite place in our house. I'm not sure what she'll do when winter comes and we have to keep the door closed. Our neighbors have said they enjoy driving by and seeing her at the window.

First Snow

It is 8:48 on Sunday, October 26th and it just started snowing. Let's take a vote...
Who is excited? Who is bummed out?

New Fabric

I learned today that I like the fabric at Hobby Lobby better than what I've found at JoAnn's. The latter has more to choose from but it's harder to find "funky" fabric there. Hobby Lobby's fabric is also less expensive (and one sale today) so that's a plus for me.

This fabric will soon be nursing covers and burp cloths. Only one is claimed so far...
