33 weeks pregnant

Here is the much needed documentation that I am indeed pregnant. I have not intentionally avoided blogging about BABY #2....time just seems to be slipping away. I think I took this shot around week 33. We anxiously await your arrival baby!

CANDO and City park

Isabel was awarded CANDO this weekend from school. CANDO is a little yellow stuffed doll that each child must earn for good behavior and manors. When chosen....you get to take CANDO home for the weekend and journal about your adventures. It just so happened that CANDO came home on a weekend that we had Mia come visit. It was so special for Mia to spend the weekend and we brought CANDO everywhere. Our highlight: Saturday's trip to City Park Storyland and Amusement Park.

Pumpkin Patch and Carving a Pumpkin

We made a quick trip to our local patch to pick out a pumpkin and left with not a happy camper. I think I may have timed it a little too close to dinner.....low blood sugar time. See family photo for unhappy child!

Isabel really got into carving a pumpkin this year!!! So much fun!

THE THREE LITTLE PIGS

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

My little pumpkin

I sent Isabel to school today in my latest creation!! I created this outfit head to toe. I made the bow and pants and I had Emily P. applique the matching pumpkin. I am so happy that this turned out so adorable...and I am so glad to finally be able to dress her is LONG sleeves. AMEN to this glorious weather!

Happy OCTOBER!

I took a few pics of Isabel before school today in one of her fall shirts....customed by Threads by Design (Emily P.) HOORAY for fall and halloween!

So long BOPPY!

OCTOBER 8, 20011 marks the goodbye to the BOPPIES (Isabel's pacifiers...all 15 of them). We have been talking about it for some time. And Isabel was right on board with TURNING BIG!!! So as a family we collected all the pacifiers from all over the house and wrapped them in a small box....with Christmas wrapping. We then put real big on the front....FOR BABY...and delivered it to the baby room to await the new babies arrival. The package resides in the baby room for now. We are officially on day 5 of no boppy, and let me say that this has been no easy feat. Isabel has only been using boppies at night time and nap time on weekends. She does not have it at all during the day or at school. It was recommended by our pediatrition to get rid of them before baby arrives...in hopes to minimize the regression of Isabel acting like a baby. Nights have been tougher than days but last night was GREAT!!! She had very little trouble falling asleep and only woke up once.

Phillips and I are so PROUD of our BIG GIRL. AND she if 100 % potty trained in both departments....no accidents for 1 month now.
