McKee Ranch

On Friday our little playgroup went to Mckee Ranch. It is a fun little farm that houses animals of all kinds. It is open to the public and you can bring snacks for the animals. Needless to say, it was a big hit with the kids, especially mine.

Halloween party

We were invited to a playgroup Halloween party last Wednesday and it was so much fun. The girl who planned it did a terrific job and there were lots of fun stations for the kids to participate in. My girls had a fabulous time.

Annie attempted the game once and then just grabbed her donut off the string.

Annie also managed to capture an apple, but she had a little assistance

Breasting

Ok, so trying to figure out the in's and out's to nursing with a new baby is always an adventure, but doing it with a 2 year old and 4 year old in tow brings the experience to a totally different level. Leah is totally repulsed by the whole process. First off, she refers to it as "breasting." Who knows how she came up with this phrase. Now I need to mention that this is the girl who I have told on multiple occasions to "Cover up your nibbles" or Don't let anyone see your nibbles" and now mine are on display multiple times a day for anyone walking through the room. I'm sure it is confusing to her. She is constantly telling me to cover up, but she can't stop staring. It's like the bloody car accident-you don't want to look, but you can't tear yourself away from the scene. She is also having fun playing with my nursing cover-ups. Who knew they were the latest fashion in dress up? Annie just knows that when the boob comes out, the milk is on it's way and Lucy will be getting "munch." It's been quite the experience so far, and I'm sure there will be more special moments as time goes on.

Cheese

Annie saw the camera when she got home from church and wanted her picture taken too, so here she is cheesing it up for the camera. Notice the cute bows that were made at Fabulous Friday.

I told her to try and keep her eyes open

Lucy Elizabeth

My sister and I decided to take some pictures of Lucy while the girls and Brian were at church. We used some of the bows that we made at Fabulous Friday. I thought they turned out pretty cute.

This flower is the same size as her face, but I guess that is the style right now.

Timber!
Chillin like a villian!
I wish that she would of kept her hand down, but what do you do?
She was letting me know that she was done taking pictures and ready to eat.

Sisters unite!

The fam

Annie and Leah were so excited to meet their new little sister. Annie was especially excited for the big moment. She came busting into the room and immediately the oohs and aahs began. Her visit was about 20 minutes long and she held Lucy 3 times! She calls her Loocis and just loves to rubs her checks and give her loves. Leah also enjoyed holding Lucy and examing her tiny parts. Leah was more concerned about the fact that my skin was cut open an how I was dealing with that. They were both glad to have us come home today.
