October

October has been WONDERFUL this year. Much to my satisfaction, it has been unseasonably warm and extremely sunny this year! Woooo Hoooo :) I dread October and it's inscesant rainfall here but I have been smiling ear to ear this year basking in its glory- hahah dramatic, maybe but seriously, it has been a picture perfect fall month.

Unfortunately I am in a photo taking, blogging slump. I don't feel like doing much of either lately and it always fills me with guilt because all those memories being lost in my pregnancy brain.

Anyways...

Sarynn Is doing WONDERFULLY well in both school and dance. She is fully adjusted and is definitely the high light of her days. She has made some cute little friends at school. Her little bestie is named Mccall and she and Sarynn both showed up as witches to their school Halloween party- so cute :) Sarynn is doing great as a big sister lately too. She is patient and calm with Minnoh, who can be a little terror at times, but Sarynn rolls with it like a champ. For that I am grateful. Sarynn is very excited for new baby. It is fun having a kid old enough to understand whats going. She happens to be pregnant herself she tells me. She will name her baby Dora and Dora makes it very tough for Sarynn to stand up on her own ;) Her new faves are Tea Parties, and pretending to be the Mommy or Doctor. Her faves are still alive and well, including dress up, mermaids, princesses and playing outside with the neighborhood kids.

Sarynn has been especially excited for Halloween this year. She is really liking learning about spooky things and watching scary movies. We learned all about Mummies, Zombies and Witches this month and she can't seem to get enough of it! We even took her to the Haunted Hollow at the American West Heritage Center and she took it like a champ :) Although once was enough and she wont go through again. She is so full of "why's?" and "how?"

that I think I may explode some days! I do my best to answer them all though, I do understand their importance and significance.

Her Ghost Costume

Cinderella (her real costume this year is a witch but halloween has been celebrated so many times the witch costume lost its appeal so took a break with cinderella for the trunk or treat at Daddies work.

Playing in the leaves

And our little Minnoh. She seems to have grown up this month so much. Her talking is unbelievable! She says at least 100 words now and cant seem to learn them fast enough. I love it cause i am pretty sure it cuts back on the crying and tantrums a ton. She can easily communicate to us what she needs and she is even starting to put words together. IE: "bye bye minnie" or "More please" etc. This girl LOVE LOVE LOVES her Daddy. She calls for him when she wakes up, she prefers him when she falls down and calls him while he is at work as often as I will let her. I keep saying she must know she is going to need him more than normal after new baby gets here. She is trying so hard to keep up with Sarynn is adorable but heart breaking at the same time. I cant wait till she can actually keep up, I am sure she feels the same. She loves bikes and and bouncing on anything she can, including mom. She is brave little one, unless it comes to the horse on a stick- She HATES the horse on a stick. I am not sure why that scares her so bad but the giant ride on horse we have is ok, but that is the case and I cant help but laugh. Shoes, Hats and jewelry is a big deal to her. She is always wandering around in someones shoes with lots of accessories on. She is still a wild one and has a tendency to scream, shout and yell her way through the day. I am not holding my breath on that one changing any time soon. Nothing makes her more furious than being told what to do. If she is free to roam and explore then she will is a happy camper but try to make her sit still through the grocery store and her life is over! I do like that she is independently happy though and wouldn't change it for the world! After my clingy attached Sarynn, it is a breath of fresh air :)
