What is your child going to be on Halloween?

When we asked Gracie what she wanted to be for Halloween she told us she wanted to be a monster .....but thankfully this mommy still has control over pretty much everything lol So off to the Halloween store we went :)

We found lots of cute costumes....our final choices were Supergirl....a pirate....a witch....and little red riding hood. We let her pick which one she liked best and the winner is.....

Little Red Riding Hood!

Wordless Wednesday

Once upon a time :)

Making Faces

On Sunday we spent all afternoon playing with our pumpkins that we got from the pumpkin patch. Me and Gracie had so much fun :) Each holiday with her is getting better and better.

Gracie picked out this white pumpkin that we thought would be great for painting!

We painted it blue, purple, yellow, orange,green, pink, and a silver sparkle!

Gracie absolutely LOVED doing this! :)

The finished product :)

Our other two pumpkin we worked on next. We were gonna carve one and then stick faces on the other one but Gracie was having so much fun making faces that I just let her put faces on both of them. 3 faces to each pumpkin, here are our favs!

                                                           

I just love my turkey!

 

Crazy about Cupcakes!~!

Cupcakes is something me and my mom make for pretty much every occasion. They are easy to make, fun to decorate, and might I say DELICIOUS :P So for Halloween we definetly had to let Gracie decorate a cupcake, which she loved!! With some help from mama and papa, I think we did a great job!

 

 Gracie is the light of their lives :) :)

 Sprinkling :)

This is what her cupcake looked like shortly after. (What cha gonna do, she's 3)

Is this making you hungry?

me too!

Am I too picky?

Ok...I have been so excited to get Gracie's school pictures back and this is the best they could do!!??

I'm sorry but don't you think they could of fixed her bow so it wasn't sticking up in the air and worked with her on her smile so it wasn't so fake and so she had lips (her lips disappear when she fake smiles)

The only reason I got these pictures was because they were her very first school pictures ever. I just think the "professional people from Lifetouch" would of seen a bow sticking straight up in the air. I know your probably thinking I'm crazy and the picture is cute and I'm overreacting but......I'm a perfectionist when it comes to pictures and everything else. I want everything to be perfect and it drives me crazy when things don't work out that way.

Thank god for family pictures next month.

How do you help keep your toddler healthy during the cold and flu season?

Gracie is in preschool this year which makes me even more prepared for this winter season. Here is a few things we do to keep the germs away!

* Washing Hands! We make sure we wash our hands after going potty and throughout the day.

* We get our flu shots every year.

* We make sure when Gracie isn't feeling well we keep her home so she can rest and get better :)

* I'm always wiping everything with Lysol wipes ....it's a little bit of an addiction but it kills germs so it's all good.

What is Gracie Learning?

This week Gracie is learning all about nocturnal animals :) They are reading a book called Owl Babies. Here are a few projects she has brought home recently :)

You just gotta love the pig that they colored with chocolate pudding!!

 Fall Leaf :)

Every Monday night our public library had storytime. It is really fun and the kids love it! They read books, do crafts, sing songs, and me and Gracie always pick up some books to take home and read :) The theme tonight was owls which went perfect with what she was learning in school.

I thought this was so cute!!!

Here are the 3 books we brought home tonight. We read them all  already and they are all cute!
