On our way to Bryce's birthday party....
It's a long drive to Bryce's birthday party so we decided to give Gigi a little treat in the car....a movie to pass the time. Can you tell by her friend that she's holding what she's watching? Walle! We have Horton for the drive home. It's fun to be a kid! And we're heading to a place where a kid can be a kid....Chuck E. Cheeses! Despite the rain it's sure to be a fun day!!!

Gigi's pumpkin is now a jack-o-lantern!
He came home from school without a mouth so tonight we carved a month and put a candle inside. Gigi named him Colors. I'm not sure why but that's his name!
Pumpkin Carving Fun at School!
Gigi was a little hesitant to scoop out the seeds but she did it like a pro....and I reassured her they will let her wash her hands when she was done. that seemed to do the trick. LOL!

Mommy's growing up!!! Oh, and so is Gigi!!!
Daddy (and Papa) built Gigi's bed today and she could not wait to sleep in it tonight! She was so excited! She's snoring away right now and I miss her terribly! She's still in our room...it's as much as I can handle. Our bed seems so big now. I miss her little feet. She started out great but then decided she wanted to come back to our bed. After a while she went back and with a little help from her musical little Scout friend she was out in minutes. This is such a huge step for all of us. :) I'm so proud of her...and me too!

Hooray! Finally sweater weather!
When we left Nana & Papa'a house Gigi rubbed her arms and said, "it's cold! Brrrrr!" So when we for home & took Max for a walk she put on a sweater....and looks so sweet! Mommy & Daddy love sweater weather!

Meet Gigi's new elephant friend, Bella-phant!
know it at the time but it was very obvious to me that of all the things in our shopping cart that elephant was most assuredly going home with us!
Later on, after her shower and after she finished reading a bed time story to us, Ten Timid Ghosts, we gave her the elephant. Not from the Writing Fairy, or Santa, or the Halloween Fairy, or anyone else....from her Mommy & Daddy because we love her so much and because she fills our hearts with such joy and happiness!!! She couldn't believe her eyes when she pulled him out of the bag! She smiled so big and bright and hugged her elephant and her Mommy & Daddy too!

It's Ballerina Day!
It's Fun Friday and Gigi wanted to be a ballerina today. she even brought one of her ballerina lesson dvds to practice at nana's house.
This was her recital costume and it's starting to lose sequins. They were all over her bathroom this morning and I imagine most of them will be off by the time I get home from work! I'll have to vacuum Nana's house! LOL!

Thanks Writing Fairy!
There's always time for handwriting practice and this morning between bites of strawberry yogurt Gigi practiced and the Writing Fairy brought this terrific toy. It's a puzzle toy. We're so excited! We played once before leaving for school & Gigi plans to bring it to Nana & Papa's tomorrow to play it with Papa.

It was brown day at school today...
Gigi looked extra cute in her jeans this morning. Of course she told me a dozen or so times she don't want to wear pants but we had already selected that top & she didn't have much else to go with it. She survived & her teachers got to go on about how cute she looked in them! I'm sure she loved that!
I worked unusually late tonight & Dan was at a movie screening at work so Nana & Papa had to bring Gigi home to go to bed. She made my mom tell her a bed time story & my mom made one up about Halloween or something (I don't remember the details) and she said Gigi told her she wasn't making it spooky enough and to make it spookier. My baby loves Halloween time!!! And I love my very adorable baby!!!
Soon it will be Christmas time & we'll be making up stories about snowmen, elves, reindeer, Santa and the like. I look forward to it but wish this month would slow down a bit! So many fun things to do & not enough time to do them! We did have an amazing time at Mickey's not so scary Halloween party a few weeks ago, Legoland was a hoot, Sea World's Spooktacular Halloween party was spectacular!
Hmmm...wonder what we'll do this weekend? We have some Disney Quest tickets that expire soon so we may do that. Gigi will get to do more there now that she's a bit bigger. I think she'll enjoy it!
