Halloween 2011

Today started with costumes at school. I didn't chance dressing them in their real Halloween costumes all day or they would have never made it to tonight! Baylee went as a princess and Ty wore his Charlie Brown t shirt!

Tonight we have Ty the Alabama elephant, Brenly the skeleton, Avery Supergirl, and Baylee as Rapunzel. They had a blast!!

Mode of travel - Kim told me to fast forward about 13 years but I just could not even think about it!!

Cedar Hill again!

We decided to take Brenly and Avery to the farms on Sunday, despite the drizzle, and to introduce Ty to the farms.

We had a great time and plan to go every year!!

Game and Halloween Fun

Just a little preview of Ty's Halloween costume - the Alabama elephant! We had to break it out for AunT on the TN vs Alabama game tonight!

Nana had given me a recipe to make a pumpkin cake out of 2 Bundt cakes and tonight we tried it!!

Icing the "stems"

It tasted great and we had fun doing it!!

Firsts....

Today was our first school field trip together! I was able to take off and go with Baylee as a parent chaperone to Cedar Hill Farms. She had so much fun and I was able to finally see her interact with her friends! Although, when I thought she would want to hold my hand throughout the farms, I was wrong. She was wanting to hold the hand of her friends or her favorite teacher, Ms. Clark...she is growing up!

Also this week was my first parent/teacher meeting. Baylee is doing well in all her skills and I was a proud parent!!! I am told she is a model student...Yay!!!

Some of her classmates

Baylee and Lexy

Pig races!!

Riding the train with Ms Clark!

Picking her perfect pumpkin!

Dance time

Ty is 18 months and we can now add to his list of words thank you, dora, bay, "pips" which means chip..and has learned the art of having a temper tantrum. He gets on his tippy toes, runs in a circle and waves his hands like in this video. I would love to catch it on video because it is the funniest thing ever but grabbing the camera is the last thing on my mind!!!

A new day...

Ty began Faith Preschool on Friday this week. I think he was more ok with it than I was! He just walked right in and started to play. His teachers said he played with all the kids and was kind and cheerful...and the first one to go to sleep on his nap mat! He is use to 2 naps and they only have from 11:45-2:00 for nap. They said he slept soundly the whole time!

Nana will be missed greatly and it will hit him that he does not see her every day!!! Nana is having surgery on her neck due to a herniated disc soon and needs a break from Ty. Baylee loves walking Ty into his class before I drop her off in hers!!! When she saw I was upset, she touched my hand and said, "Momma, I will protect him." Love these kids!
