I love the fall and this weekend was every reason why!

Friday we went grocery shopping in the morning and then it was time for the Charlotte's check up. These are her stats now:

Wt 25 lbs, Ht 31" 100% healthy. She was given 3 shots, including the flu, and we do not go back now until 2009!

Ready for a smile....


I asked for Lily to be weighed also, for medications etc. She is a peanut 29 lbs! Chris and I were joking on the way home the Rdette just needs to seal the deal! it is really just a matter of time!!

LOL At least Lily still has height on her side!

Once we were done there it was close to dinner time so we came home and spent a quiet evening with the girls. After their bath I pulled out my Mommy brave card and trimmed bangs on both girls! Lily always looks sweet and sits pretty well for it. This was a first time to cut any kind of hair on Charlotte. She did great and looks so cute!
They were just getting so long and were in her eyes.

Chris and I got looking for something to do one Saturday since it was going to be so nice, and we found a local park was having a Harvest Festival. Even better it was FREE! Wahoo!

On Saturday morning we headed over. This park is really close to our home but we have never been there. It is a converted farm. It is so open and sprawling. We had a really fantastic time. Lily got her face painted, then promptly wiped it on her sleeve. It was an accident she was upset that she touched it. That was until we painted a pumpkin, sleeves rolled even higher, but we still got a little messy-imagine that! Then while our pumpkin was drying we headed over and made our very first Scarecrow! Or as Lily calls it a ScareRow!

Rdette LOVED being in the hay, she only tried to eat it a few times, so we thought that was great! She just sat so pretty. She kept picking it up looking at it in the sun. She also wanted very little to do with her stroller and wanted to walk as much as possible. We spent lots of time in the grass!


The rest of Saturday was spent in the playroom. It was just so nice.

Today, we put our holiday door on the front door. I do this with each season/holiday. We worked on that during the morning, then after lunch Lil and I headed outside. We put a Raven's sweatshirt on Stan our Scarecrow! We then moved him to a chair in front of our porch! We also relocated Mum's to a bigger container. Note to self:

2 year-olds REALLY like to play in the dirt. LOL

At one point she was "helping" me dig a hole in the planter deep enough, and I ended up with an eye full of dirt! While I was scrambling to blink it out she said 'Opps I soory Mommy, you ok?' Such a sweetie! It made the temporary blindness totally worth it!! :-)


The rest of today we just spent together playing and then tonight Lily treated us to a dance party in our living room. During which time Charlotte wandered around the room looking for things to get into.

Tomorrow I have a sink full of dishes, 2 loads of laundry to fold, and will have a huge smile on my heart when I remember this weekend.
